What is Good Health, Part 2 by Loring A. Windblad

The meaning and definition of “good health” has changed through the ages. Perhaps the best method of “knowing your health status” is being acutely aware of your own body, its functions and functional abberrations. So what am I talking about here?

I’m referring particularly to

• how you feel

• how often you have a bowel movement

• how often you urinate

• how often you feel bloated or gassy after eating

• what foods trigger your bloated or gassy feeling

• what hurts

• is that hurt “chronic” or “new”

Light-headedness could be a symptom of high blood pressure. Pain in a new and unexpected place could be a sign of a bruise, muscle strain, unknown injury, or an unknown infection of some kind. Shingles or easy bruising could be a sign of a lack of vitamin C in your diet. Many other little things about you and your body could be early indications of injury or disease. So….how aware are you of what your body is telling you every day?
