Is your health Program sustainable?

Is your health program sustainable?

 

Are you just practicing crisis management, or are

you committed to building health for the long haul?

If it is the latter, you want to create a maintenance

program of quality supplements that you can keep

up a long time.

 

What do you think does you more good: a modest

but consistent program that keeps building you up

year after year, or flooding your body with super

nutrients one month, and totally doing without the

next?

 

In my years as a distributor of health products

I have seen a sad pattern occur many times.

 

The scenario goes more or less like this:

 

Jane (or John) Doe feels miserable enough to give

top priority to regaining her energy. She discovers

a line of products that we will just call " The Stuff "

to keep it generic.

Jane falls in love with The Stuff, orders and eats

huge amounts, and starts feeling better than she has

in years.

 

Then she forgets how miserable she used to be.

Since she is feeling fine she stops giving priority

to her health products. Jane's income is modest and

the world is full of other claims on her money.

Eventually she runs out of her Stuff.

 

It takes a while before she notices the full change.

At first most of the cells in her body are still the

good ones built with The Stuff.

But after a while she is dragging herself through life

again. She decides to spend her birthday money on a

fresh supply of The Stuff, and repeats the feast and

famine scenario.

 

Jane needs a long-term strategy to cleanse, nourish,

repair and balance her body every day.

She may have to do without some products she likes

for the sake of ongoing consistency.

 

One can easily spend hundreds of dollars a month on

whole-food supplements for just one person. Like many

of us Jane has a family to take into account and a

limited budget.

 

Jane decides to make her supplement program part of

the grocery budget. She figures out which products she

really cannot live without. Then she sets up an automatic

re-order system for those basic necessities.

 

This makes sure that her health products get priority.

Jane also saves money by benefiting from her company's

loyal customer reward program.

 

Jane uses her extra energy and focus to make some

lifestyle changes that benefit both her family's health

and her wallet. She brown-bags healthy lunches and

stops picking up take-out food for dinner.

Eating out becomes a treat for special occasions, not a

daily habit that fritters away the dollars.

 

Jane also keeps out a sharp eye for special offers from

her company. She uses those to indulge in products that

she really enjoys, but can do without if she has to.

 

Jane is now on the way to a more consistent energy level.

How about you?
