Know your community

The benefits to be had by engaging and investing in your community, be it with time, energy or dollars are quite limitless.

Over the past weeks as I continue to seek out and meet with some of the many fantastic health practitioners in the Guelph area I am experiencing the reality of the above philosophy and thoroughly enjoying each moment.  From Chiropractors like Marco Lozej and Rebecca Whitney to Naturopaths like Sarah Wyer and life development coaches like Cheryl Laird, I am experiencing first hand the knowledge, care and contagious attitudes towards health that I believe will begin to shape our culture towards one that sees the reality of health in Canada.

We live in a two-tiered health care system and society, one tier that is satisfied with the health care that is generally provided and available under OHIP and most company insurance and employment plans and another tier that sees the real value in living a healthy life and choosing to invest in health.  The Globe and Mail to name but one news agency reporting on results of the growing body of longer-term health studies on the effects of preventative lifestyle measures and final health outcomes has proven this once again.  To summarize briefly the results of the study that the Globe reported on, taking preventative lifestyle measures with healthy habits in movement and nutritional health is more effective than taking medicine.

Choose to make a healthy lifestyle the centre of your personal culture.  Choose to consider the investment, not the cost of preventative health and choose to live your dreams.  Choose to stay well.
