Taking a holistic view on healing

I strongly believe in a human being is holistic entity. If any part of my body is stressed out for some reason, then the remainder of my body is affected. I feel so much better now when the healing  process has started. Not all the advise that people give you is wrong. I was watching a Netflix show about how our eating habit escalate the progress of your illness. I have tried to stay away from certain foods, but it is easier said than done. The program advises people to live on a plant diet. Plant diet as healthy as it may sound is the most boring there is. The expert on that same show pinpoint that the strongest animal in the jungle is an elephant and it is vegetarian. Well that argument almost convinced me until i reflected on the saying that says that you do not miss me what you do not know. The elephant as strong as it might seem, has never tasted meat, therefore does not have any craving for it either. I was brought up in the southern part of Zambia, we are well known for being a pastoral society. We keep cattle and worship our animals. A person´s wealth is measured by the number of animals that they own. Which means that we are meat eaters. Therefore the plant diet is non starter for me. I tried it for a whole two days and after the second day, my dreams were filled with all kinds of chops and steaks.

The second advise was that I should try to be more active. That has worked. I started walking about six months ago. Initially I took about 3000 steps a day and increased the number to 6000 and then now am up to an average of 9000 a day. The results have been outstanding. Not only do I have more energy, but I have lost some weight too. I dropped a good 11 kilos. Great. More to come. Please follow me on my journey. Tomorrow I will tell you about the pain journey, which is interesting in itself.
