What does it take to change our ways?


On today's episode of the Health Quest podcast, Dr. Sal dives into the key factors that can truly transform your health and well-being. He discusses the importance of dietary choices, exercise, and the impact of our environment on our overall health.


Dr. Sal shares insightful stories, including meeting an inspiring 87-year-old gentleman who maintains exceptional health through his lifestyle choices. He sheds light on the critical role of diet, emphasizing the significance of consuming whole and organic foods while limiting exposure to harmful chemicals and preservatives.


We're also discussing the New Year's resolution trend and why many people struggle to sustain their health goals. Dr. Sal offers practical advice and emphasizes the power of discipline in making conscious and beneficial choices for our bodies.


Key takeaways:


1. Diet plays a crucial role in good health. The majority of one's health, 85%, is determined by what is consumed, while only 15% is attributed to exercise.


2. The aging and health of individuals like Harry, an 87-year-old who maintains robust health through consuming organic whole foods and regular exercise, illustrate the impact of diet and lifestyle choices on health.


3. The harmful effects of consuming chemically treated and processed foods, with an emphasis on the importance of consuming organic, whole foods as intended by natural processes and God's design.


4. The comparison between individuals like Harry, who prioritize a healthy diet and exercise, and others reliant on medications highlights the crucial role of discipline in making dietary choices for a healthy lifestyle.


5. God's design for good health implies making rational and disciplined dietary choices rather than allowing impulse and desire to dictate, attributing discipline to God's power in promoting better health and well-being.
