Welcome to “My Health Space!”

It is my privilege to be able to share with you my own journey towards positive healthy lifestyle through this space. In here you will find bits and pieces of personal accounts, experiences, and sometimes intelligent articles regarding health, through observations, critical analysis, readings and research.

I know that all of us want to live without sickness, to have healthy legs, strong sense of smell, sharp eyes, quick minds, among other things. As much as possible we don’t want to worry whether we would wake up one day and find out that we have cancer, worry about aging and counting the wrinkles on our face, or worry about the sagging flesh on our arms and thighs and the increasing fat around our belly. Desiring good health is good but the journey towards it, to some, is sometimes a herculean task.

According to WHO, wellness is more than health or the absence of disease; it is about a myriad of things like being mentally fit, physically robust, spiritually vital and socially comfortable. According to Des Cummings, author of the book “Creation Health;” Wellness is about being able to face accidents, aging and illness with a positive outlook. Most of all, trusting that a loving God has a better idea for living, and that He is eager to help us experience full life, both now and beyond.

May you have a full life!
