A Pound of Cure

Heather Shields, WARRIOR Master Trainer

​Because as a rehabilitative provider, and an allied healthcare professional, I have come to recognize one simple truth:  AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION, IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE.  And besides that, most medications don’t cure anything, they just cover up the symptoms.  And at what cost?    

Medicine is reactive.  Rehab is reactive.  

But making healthier choices, choosing a different lifestyle- that is proactive.

And the longer we wait to get started, the harder it is to turn this train around.  

Don’t do it because you want to look different.  Do it because you want to feel different.  Or maybe do it to look different- trust me, eventually you’ll start to feel different either way.   Just do it.  Whatever the reason.  

Our society is sick.  We’re chronically sick from the food we eat, from the potions that we drink, from our addiction to tv, and phone screens, and tablets, and computers.  We’re sick from distraction, and inactivity.  We’re sick from overworking and constant comparison.   We’re sick from lack of rest and poor hydration.  And the solution is not more medicine, more side effects, and more medicine to cover those up.  The solution is movement, and real food, and water, and sunlight and fresh air. 

Start now.  Start early.  Start where you are.  Just start.  

Trust me.  You’ll thank me later.
