Welcome to my website: walburga's health management

"I find it quite unfortunate that most of us are not thinking about our health
until we are already chronically ill or even have to face a life threatening disease."
Then we go to Doctors and hope "they" can cure us. What about ourselves? What can we do to stay well or get on the road to better health? Did you ever ask this yourself?
Ask yourself these questions and at the same time I like to share with you part of my "real life health story". You can see why it makes a lot more sense to take personal responsibility for your health at any time. Yes, we can change our less healthy habits to more health promoting habits, it is not that difficult. And yes, we do have choices of what we think and we do have choices of what we do!

As a cancer patient I needed to move forward to become a cancer patient advocate. I have intensely researched and learned about the connections between health and health supportive lifestyles as well as less desirable lifestyles in connection with disease - especially cancer. It is my intention to increase your awareness of the importance of primary prevention:
A healthy lifestyle, including stress management, adequate exercise,
and an energy packed diet loaded with a variety of antioxidants.

With this in mind, here some food for thought.
How are you today?
Are you eating health supporting foods?
Do you get daily your 7 servings of vegetables and fruits?
Are you enjoying or loving your job, your career?
Are you feeling good in your work environment?
And besides your career,
How do you feel physically?
What are you contributing to your physical health?
How do you feel emotionally and spiritually?
What are you contributing to your emotional and spiritual health?
What is your passion?
Are you taking time out for yourself?
Are you enjoying being with your family?
Are you taking enough time out for your family?
Are you there for them when they need you?
Are you finding or taking time for your friends to stay in touch?
Can they count on you if they need a friend?

Can you give spontaneous and honest answers to all of the above questions?
Will the answers be different if you take extra time exploring the questions?

Have you set goals for tomorrow, next week, next month or for this year?

Have you asked yourself what personally needs to be done to reach these goals?

To maintain your health? To give your life balance? To optimize your health?

Are you already doing anything specific to keep or increase your health status?

If you answered "yes" then you earn yourself some +plus points.

Is this intention being implemented and consequently followed through?

If you answered "yes" then you get more +plus points.

This means you know that good health is not something to be taken for granted
but rather a constant striving to maintain or optimize it.

Congratulations!

If you answered "no" to some of the above questions, then now is the time to begin, as the lovely season of spring has started.

On my website you find information about a general "healthy lifestyle", including prevention, plain facts
and some health related scientific research.

You also can read about my diagnosis of advanced cancer during pregnancy, 22 years ago, how
I coped with it and the important decisions I had to make in order to add more and more
+plus points to my very troubled health account.

There are many factors which influence health and illness. We have no control over some factors like genetic makeup. We do however have control over our lifestyle. We are choosing the foods we buy. We are choosing how to prepare it. We are choosing what to drink every day. We are choosing to get or not to get adequate exercise in our day. And we are choosing if we rather stay on the couch with the TV control next to us and coke, beer and chips in our hands during our usual free time. We also are choosing to make sure to get enough time for our body and mind to relax and thus balance our state of well-being. These are all choices we can make. In plain words: If we want to stay healthy we need to take charge of our life!
And yes, change can be very difficult in whatever situation we are in. Even if it is painful, sometimes it seems comforting to stay where we are.

From experience I can say that it needs less effort and less money to maintain health than to regain health.
I invested a lot of time and money in learning and using the tools to reach balanced health. Among my teachers were the well known Sensei Herman Aihara and his wife Cornelia of the Vega Institute in Northern California as well as Sensei Noboru Muramoto.

I have personally studied with them the principles of Macrobiotics, the Yin Yang philosophy of life balance and the balance of nutrition. Both, Herman and Sensei Noboru were students of the well known George Oshawa.
The classes included preparing and cooking delicious, nutritious fresh foods as well as the preparation and external application of foods, herbs and oils. The study also included stress reducing techniques to round it all up. Other ways of meditation called visualization I learned in the 80th in California from the well known author and Medical Oncologist Dr. O. C. Simonton. His latest workshop I attended in May 2007 in Heidelberg, Germany during a large International Holistic Medical Convention.
I am so very grateful to have been able to learn this much in my life and to share the knowledge and the experience with people like you.

From the bottom of my heart I must share with you the lessons I have learned:
Invest in your health, otherwise one day you might be paying with it!

Thank you for visiting my homepage and I certainly enjoy hearing from you.
Remember to check out the links plus+ where you can find items which I highly can recommend.

Count your blessings and enjoy the pre-Christmas season!
Life does offer a lot of beautiful things at any season. we just have to open our heart to feel and see them.

God bless you,
Walburga
