HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT ~ What do They Have in Common?

Green environment Your Health and the Environment we live in are two of my favorite topics.  When you are healthy you are on top of the world, but if you get sick, become ill in any way you search out the help you need to get better. 

The same thing has to happen in our environment.  It doesn't matter if you believe in global warming or not, we can look around us and see that our planet is getting "sicker" every year. 

Pollution is reaching an all time high with toxic chemicals being put into our water and air, even with stricter controls. Our land, air and water is slowly deteriorating.  It is our planet, we must take care of it for our children and their children. 

We must continue to utilize "green" products and services to do what we can do individually. This way, we teach our kids to care for the planet also and for them it will become second nature.  They will recycle because that is all there is, they will keep the streets clean and free from litter and use energy efficient lighting because it is what they know to do.

You might ask what does this have to do with our Health? EVERYTHING!  The air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink are what makes up who we are physically.  Is it no wonder that we are degenerating like the planet. I see this in my office, as does every doctor in America. Our people are getting sicker every year and it is time to make a change.

Lets look at one possible solution ...

 Recycle2 My suggestion is to treat both the environment and your health together. If you focus on using more green products in your body the planet will benefit also.  If you conserve on the energy in your home, the planet will benefit also. 

If you would stop and pick up a few pieces of trash lying on the ground every day, the environment will benefit and by helping, you will feel better too.  There are many ways to change your health and your environment, it just takes a little effort to get started.

Here is a list of some websites to get you started on the road to becoming more "green". You can also use your favorite search engine to guide you to a topic of your choice.

I wish you the Best of Health and Have Fun Going Green!
