Authentic Health is each individual taking charge and being responsible for his/her own health prevention, building, and maintenance. The first step in one's own preventive health care is each person has to become aware of their body, acknowledging the fact that their body speaks to them all the time, and that the thoughts and beliefs they hold affect their health tremendously. Primarily, preventive solutions come from within us. Physical health and/or pronounced symptoms are a result of inner levels of one's self.......the emotional, mental, and spiritual areas of intelligence and being. Causes manifest from the inside/out; preventive health therefore must start from the inside. Secondly, on the physical level (body) per se, health is from the ground up. It depends upon what one ingests.........food, air, and water. Learning is the first step in Authentic Preventive Health Care. Yet committment to changing lifestyle plus taking continuous action of prevention also determines successful healthy living and longevity.
