Health is Wealth: Health Alert

The Benefits of Exercising

Most people know that exercise is important for weight loss and preventing heart disease, and there are a wide range of other scientifically proven benefits to exercising daily. Whether you like to walk, jog, bike, swim, or play an active sport, you can improve your health by maintaining a regular exercise regimen. Twenty minutes a day, three times a week can be enough to improve your health.

Exercise is fundamentally important to losing weight because it is the best way to burn calories, which are simply a unit of energy. Eating less and exercising more is the formula for losing weight. An individual who consumes 2000 calories without using any energy will gain over half a pound of stored body fat. To lose a pound you must burn 3500 more calories than you consume. While this may sound intimidating, it can be easy to add twenty or thirty minutes of exercise, three or four times a week to lose weight and enjoy many other health benefits.

Thirty minutes of walking burns around 200 calories. Adding a thirty minute walk, three times a week to one’s normal lifestyle, and not changing anything else, will burn over 30,000 calories in a year which is nearly nine pounds. A single hour of walking, three times a week over the course of a year can generate close to twenty pounds of weight loss.

Exercise is necessary for the prevention of heart of heart disease. It can reduce blood pressure by causing the endothelial cells to produce sufficient amounts of Nitric Oxide. This relaxation effect reduces pressure. In addition, the Nitric Oxide generated reduces the build of arterial plaque, thereby reducing the occurrence of stroke and heart attacks. Cholesterol levels are also known to benefit from regular exercise such as walking.

Why Health Is Wealth

Health is like an investment account: when you are in a perfect state of vitality and getting all the Power Nutrients your tissues need to function at their best, your “health account” balance is at 100%- as it should be. But when you suffer a deficiency of key nutrients, it’s as if you’re withdrawing money from that account. At first, the account has a lot of money in it, so small withdrawals don’t make much difference. But over time, your balance starts to take real hits; eventually, you can’t pay your bills. You start running a “vitality deficit,” and your body reflects this by developing the problems we diagnose as disease. Only by putting “money” back into your account—only by restoring the balance of vital nutrients—can you return to health.

This incredible similarity between health and finance leads to two new terms that, for us, replace the outdated and vague terms “disease” and “health:”

BioDebt: The state of nutritional deficiency that drains your wellness account.
BioWealth: The state of nutritional abundance that leads to optimal function.



In Health is Wealth, we present to you a fundamental redefinition of the concepts of disease and wellness. Listed below are the basic principles that "Health is Wealth" is based upon:
1)Disease is just a word that conventional medicine has created to describe processes that are complex; processes that develop over a long period of time instead of in mere days or weeks.
2)Disease is not an unchanging state of being, but a reversible and preventable process.
3)Disease is actually nothing more than a set of symptoms, which we will describe in detail, that your body exhibits to let you know it is deficient in certain key nutrients.
4)Vitality is the natural state of the human organism and can persist long into old age.
When you give your body a daily supply of the essential nutrients it needs to function at its peak level, you are investing in your present and future vitality. Doing this isn’t always easy. Much like finance, it requires long-term vision. It takes discipline to put money into the stock market month after month, year after year, resisting the temptation to cash out when the Dow plummets, and it can seem like an act of faith to take antioxidants or coenzyme Q10 supplements every day for twenty years. But we can attest that it’s not an act of faith: it’s an act of fact. Well-supported scientific research results prove that when you consistently make “optimizing medicine” part of your personal care routine, you protect your vitality against future dysfunction. You are making small, but daily, deposits into your BioWealth account. Over time, they really do add up.
