By far the most influential and important of the causes of illness is choice. Choice either enhances or worsens what genetics has given you. Choice either increases or decreases the amount and effect of stress in your life. By our choices, we all contribute to, or resolve, our own problems. The positive side of this in terms of chronic illness is that most individuals only have to improve a few items to vastly improve function and health.
Lifestyle is an effective place to start making better choices to transform your health. Lifestyle choices dramatically increase (or decrease) enjoyment of life, resistance to disease, length and quality of life, and can ever reverse (or accelerate) the progression of chronic disease. The single most effective and dynamic lifestyle choice you can make to improve your genetic potential and overall health is to practice all aspects of the self-help 3LS Wellness Program consisting of Skilled Relaxation, Whole Foods Diet, and Right Exercise. The vast majority who practice this program usually also become students of health and start making additional choices for a healthy lifestyle. This gratifying cycle of learning and then feeling more alive can be irresistible.
