Good health is a positive sum of many factors that affect your body, and is also a result of good decisions taken during our life. There is no such thing as a healthy person, especially in older age, that has been ignorant of what foods and practices are good for your body and your mind and which are not. "That brings us the reality that, most of the time, being healthy is not chance but a choice"
If you were born a healthy baby, 95% of the time, if you are sick now, it's because of decisions you have taken, and most of the time these are taken in ignorance, and no, it's not your fault. It doesn't matter whose fault it is, what matters is what you want to accomplish, and if your reading this article. I bet you want to be healthier (as we all want to be).
I don't believe anybody would want to be sicker, unless there was maybe money to be made.
So getting to the gravy of "the first step, is: "Getting to know your body"
Let me ask you a question: Do you know how long it takes for food to go from your mouth to your toilet?
If you do, congratulations, if you don't, you have to find out, because that is the first step in getting to know your body. This period of time depends on your diet, level of activity. how much water you drink, etc. There is a multimillion dollar industry out there selling liquids and pastes to get you to go or stop you from going to the bathroom, a healthy person with a healthy diet goes to the bathroom 2 or 3 times a day and it's not only to pee, it's to evacuate residues o food that were ingested one to two days before ( the healthier people one day).
So, step one, is to do an experiment to find out how long it's taking for food to go through you system, and that is easily done. Next time you go to the grocery store, you buy some corn on the cob and eat it, you can cook it first, you don't have to eat it raw. ( I will be writing about raw in the future) Don't chew it too much, if you are a compulsive chewer, you'll never see it again. The important part of this is you have to write it down, a lot of people don't remember when they ate what, especially if it takes the 5 days to let it out. Put it in your calendar and wait for the surprise, you have to look at your stools; when they are floating (good sign) or sunk. Also take notice of the smell, if it stinks, you have to do some diet changes, usually lower animal protein intake. Your excretions should not have offensive odour if you are on a healthy diet. Don't forget to look for the corn, usually some will come out whole.
Once you have done this experiment you will know how long it takes and you can repeat it in the future as you flow into a healthier diet, which usually consists of more vegetables and fruits, especially apples, papayas and pineapple. I have selected some books and other products which will help guide you to making better decisions on what to eat to be healthier. Carlos J. Gaston, Biologist http://www.healasyoueat.com/
