Always Feeling Healthy by "Going Green"

by Dennis
(Arizona)

My ideal healthy lifestyle is to go green. The many aspects of going green all lead to increased health. Here are a few that affect me, for the better.

I walk as often as possible, as opposed to driving. I would rather pick fresh food from my garden or my trees than go to McDonald's. I would rather put my waste into a compost bin, and use it to put added nutrients into the food I grow, than send it to a landfill. I prefer to purchase food items from local markets selling products that are grown locally and organically.

I breath cleaner air because I no longer use toxic chemicals to kill my weeds and clean my sinks, I choose eco-friendly products. I respect the sun, I use it to create electricity, not to burn my skin.

I am seldom in need of medication or cures for anything, but when I am I look to alternative, holistic medicines before pharmaceuticals. I prefer yoga to a chiropractor and a cup of green tea over a scotch and water.

These are just a few of my preferences in life that keep me happy and healthy.

Enjoy and respect the good earth and your good health.

Thank you Dennis! I totally agree, every thing my husband and I do to "go green" has directly affected and improved our health.

For anyone who would like more understanding of what "green living" is and how it relates to personal health, check out the article Definition of Green Living.
