Wellness Connexion12 INTRODUCTION
Your ConneXion to Ageless Vitality
Wellness ConneXion
The order of the chapters is deliberate. We begin with water, the
wellspring of life, and work our way toward the ultimate goal of a
balanced life. But each chapter can stand alone. You may wish to
read the book quickly and go back to the sections that appeal the
most to you, or read the sections that you wish to work on first.
An appendix includes references for those who wish to delve
into these principles more deeply, for readers who have already
embarked on their journey toward greater wellness, and for
healthcare professionals who wish to scientifically verify the
recommendations made.
What to Expect
Most chronic illnesses develop over a period of 20 to 30 years.
Fortunately, it will not take nearly so long to heal. We believe that
even if you practice only some of these wellness principles on a
regular basis, you will see significant improvements in your health,
energy and joy in just a few months.
John Molloy, a 56-year-old school administrator from Connecticut,
became obese when he took on a stressful job and went through a
divorce. He started to walk after work and watch his consumption
of carbohydrates. Over the next six months, he lost 52 pounds and
his blood pressure returned to normal. By making these simple
choices he had the pleasure of feeling in control of his life again.
Wellness is not a result but a process, a way of functioning in the
world that requires daily practice. Just as good athletes train on a
daily basis, and child rearing or a good marriage require ongoing
attention, so a healthy lifestyle is a matter of actions repeated on a
daily and weekly basis. The way to improve the quality of one’s life
is to integrate positive habits into daily routines, to find pleasure in
eating right, fun in exercising, and joy in balancing one’s life.
Americans have a “can-do” attitude. We believe in the possibility
of change for the better. We live in an exciting time. Never before
in our history has there been such an opportunity for being in the
driver’s seat on the journey to improve the quality of our lives.
For anyone wishing to make personal health and wellness your
destination, these conneXions are the road map. Simple Secrets of Ageless Vitality
