Do People Take Better Care of Their Cars Than Their Bodies?
Do people take better care of their cars than themselves? In order to keep a car running you must put fuel in it to make it run, clean it, go to the mechanic for a tune up, change filters and plugs, also you drive the car to keep fluids moving. In order to keep your body running you must do similar things like eating properly, getting check ups and staying fit.
Just like an automobile, take similar care of your body. Car fuel parallels nutrition. There are different types of fuel in varying grades for your car, just as there are different types of food that you can eat. The better you eat and the higher grade fuel you use, the better you or your automobile will run. If you do not fuel appropriately, both your car and body will stall. A good thing to try is to eat as close to nature as possible so your body can get access lto the nutrients easily and will run efficiently. Just as taking care of your car is more than just adding the fuel, the body needs more than good nutrition to run well.
Keeping your car clean is important because it keeps the exterior looking good and protects the interior. You must wash the car so it does not rust, also adding a polish for a shiny finish and to repel the suns harmful rays. This parallels the skin. Washing and adding lotions that hydrate and block the suns harmful rays will help you look and feel your best. You also must stay well hydrated so the skin does not look dried and cracked.
Driving your car is important, otherwise there is a possibility that debris will settle in a tube and begin to tax a part of the engine. When you drive, the fluids move through the engine and clear materials it does need out the exhaust. Staying mobile and exercising will keep this from happening to your body. Just find an activity you enjoy and do it regularly.
Going to the mechanic for maintenance and tune ups is very important to change filters, plugs, and oil, which will keep the car running well. In the body you can do different cleanses for different body systems. For example, cleansing your colon will allow your body to take in much more nutrients. The digestive tract is like a filter; when it is dirty it does not allow anything through, so you can eat the best healthiest food and the body will not take in all the nutrition it can. Adding to your daily routine foods with fiber, raw fruit and vegetables, and herbal pills that aid in digestion and clearing the tract, will keep the flow going and allow the body to get the maximum amount of nutrients.
The next thing that the mechanic will check is the total integrity of the car. He or she will tell you signs to look for so you know if other systems in your car are going wrong. The car might be sluggish upon first starting or overheats, similar to not waking up easily or taking a mid-morning break because you are exhausted. Your mechanic parallels a doctor or your health care practitioner. You should not be afraid to ask your mechanic about those signs you are recognizing and see what he or she recommends. This lowers your surprise rate and possibly catches something serious early.
The most important thing the mechanic can discuss with you is the way you drive that car. If you drive aggressively and beat your car up, you will have more problems with it. The likelihood of it lasting a long time greatly diminishes. This is your mind state in the body’s case. If you are always upset, stressed, or worried, always in thought and preoccupied, the body will never slow down, eventually stalling out because of the consistent stress on the engine. Even if you are trying to relax, your body is not. It thinks it needs to continue to run at a high rate because of the adrenaline that is released in a stressful environment. This is the hormone that gives you that burst of energy, which puts you body into survival mode call “fight or flight”. Learning how to stay calm and not driving your vehicle aggressively could help you make a long lasting relationship in anything, whether it is a possession like your car or your body.
There are plenty of more systems in the body, just like the car, that is there to assist the body in optimum health, like your energy systems, breathing properly, and lymphatic system. All these need to be noticed and learned for you to become a healthy human being. What it all comes down to is treating and honoring your body just as you would your car. You are the one in charge. You have to begin noticing all the signs. Hear what your body is saying, and respond accordingly. All it takes a few baby steps and watch how much of a difference doing those steps regularly will make in the long haul.
