The Fountain of Youth
What ever happened to that magical feeling we had when we were young as we contemplated growing up and getting older that kids so beautifully demonstrates? At what age does getting older start to become something we no longer look forward to but begin to dread? Why do kids squeal with delight at their birthday parties when we tell them they really look older, but people run away crying if we tell them that as adults? Some people also wonder, “Why doesn’t everyone just take care of themselves and have fun?” What an awesome question! It is so awesome because people have expressed it knowing that as long as we take care of ourselves, our bodies will be there for us in whatever way we need them to be.
You may not know it but the Life Force inside your body is constantly being directed by your Innate Intelligence to replace your body as its cells and parts wear out. This is a continuous process and it’s happening simultaneously all over your body. Each and every cell, tissue and organ is replaced by a new one as necessary. Some tissues wear out more quickly than others and so they are turned over more rapidly. For example, you are making eight million new red blood cells every second. Think about how amazing that is – EIGHT MILLION EVERY SECOND! You are creating a new stomach and intestinal lining every three to five days, a new liver every six weeks, new lungs every six months and you literally replace every single atom in your body every thirteen months or so! And, you do all of this without ever thinking about it!
The key for continuing this renewal process is that you must have three very important things in your life. First, you must have a positive and deliberate focus. This ensures healthy emotions and healing biochemicals as a result of those positive emotions. The second is a healthy lifestyle that minimizes pollutants and poisons and supplies your cells with everything they need to follow your Innate Intelligence’s directives to continually make the new parts and effectively dispose of the old parts. This includes, breathing deeply, getting enough water, eating a diet rich in fresh fruits and veggies while limiting your calories to reduce the production of “free radicals” and minimize something called “oxidative stress,” getting a balance of movement and rest (including enough sleep), exercising, getting a good amount of sunlight, staying clean and maintaining balance within and between all of the different areas of your life.
The third thing is to maintain a clear neurological connection between your brain and your body. This is the pathway your Innate Intelligence uses to send and receive messages so that it can understand and respond to everything that is going on both internally and in your external environment. In order to maintain a clear brain-body connection, your spine must be aligned and functioning properly. This is why regular chiropractic care is so important to you being able to live a happy, healthy and vital life. It allows your Intelligent Life Force to be expressed fully and to continually recreate you anew!
So, search no more for that fountain of youth! Everything you need to be continuously young is right there inside of you! Decide to be a kid no matter how old the world says you are. And ask yourself this question – If you didn’t know how old you are, how old would you be?
