Gorgeous bodies are what drive our consumerist society. You can see this evidence all around you. For example, an individual whose body is tattooed all over will usually get the attention of many people. A body that is in superior shape will win championships. If your body belongs to a movie star, you can be sure that you will be swarmed by paparazzi. And even if your body is one of the "biggest losers" on the planet, well, even you can be a star.
Our society has become a culture of superficiality. To properly get your body to work at an optimum level, you must look deeper than the skin, and try to imagine what your body looks like from the inside. Try to imagine looking at your body from a viewpoint that only an MRI machine or doctors can see.
When you start to focus on the inside of your body first, you begin to realize that what goes into your body gives you the ability to smell, run, have sex on the beach, snowboard, play chess, sing a song, and all the other thousands of functions your body must do to keep you going.
You might have an understanding of how your body's multiple functions work, but you may not know how they function. But more important than this is how are you able to make your body younger, healthier, and stronger.
The reason why you may not is it could be that when it comes to health issues, there are so many scientific and perplexing words that our brains feels like it's in the Indianapolis 500. Between all the various types of reports, data, and the vast use of recommendations, our retention to this information is so miniscule that we barely ever even notice them and worse yet never at least try to figure out what all the information means. With all this information coming down like an avalanche on us, it makes it nearly impossible to siphon through what's really important and what isn't when it comes to our overall health. You must understand that it is imperative to your health to somehow be able to extrapolate that information and take action. Your life depends on it.
Try to think of your body as your home. When you think of your home, you would be amazed at how much these two have in common. One of the main similarities between your home and your body is the fact that they are both major investments. These two entities also provide you with shelter, because both are priceless. And with both, you would do everything you could to protect them. The similarities between your house and your body go further than this. You could look at your bones like the two by fours that support the infrastructure of your home; the ventilation ducts that provide you comfort when it's warm cold are the lungs of the body; your brain is the fuse box; our intestines that process all of our waste could be likened to your homes plumbing system; then there's our mouths that can be likened to the garbage disposal; the water main is like our heart; of course our hair would be likened to the lawn; and our fat that we don't like on our body is like the junk in the attic that we have no use for anymore. So you see, a simpler way to look at your body is to look at your house and think of all the similarities between them.
Once you have the power of understanding your body, then you possess the power to change it, make it stronger, and maintain it.
