What Is Health?

what is health and how do you get more of it why do we have a health care

system that spends more money than any other place on the planet and we have

more sick people than ever before stay tuned and I'll explain hey I'm Dr. Sten

Ekberg with wellness for life and by subscribing to our channel you will

learn everything that you need to know to master true health what is health is

it just when you have an absence of symptoms or is there more to it well the

World Health Organization says that health is a state of optimal well-being

it's where everything in your body is working the best it can where every

system is working optimally that's the kind of health that we're talking about

that I'm talking about and that's where you have quality of life not just for

the moment but for a long long time to come in our healthcare system however we

talk about health as the absence of symptoms and think about that for a

while because everyone knows that it takes 20-30 years probably to develop

heart disease to where you have a heart attack so the heart attack is the first

symptom but it took 20-30 years to get there so when did you start losing

health was at the moment that you got the heart attack no obviously it was the

moment that you started that slip-and-slide and that's how we want to

start thinking about health and we have a health care model that pays no

attention to that whatsoever the health care model or sick care model is all

about treating symptoms as a chiropractor we're not even allowed to

work on people unless we're treating a symptom that's how absurd that the whole

situation has gotten and so how do we want to think about it what is it that's

supposed to work what is this thing called life what is health how do they

relate well one of my favorite analogies that

we want to start thinking about is if you have a person who is standing up and

he's healthy and is doing well and then I know this is very hypothetical but

bear with me and then this person falls down and in

the first 10 seconds we managed to run all of the usual medical tests on him so

some things we can't run like blood pressure is not going to show up heart

beat is not going to show up but if we run blood work we check his hormone

levels we check blood sugar cholesterol levels we take an x-ray we run MRIs all

of those tests all those pictures whether it's of a body part or whether

it's of the blood they're going to show very very normal values so how can

someone have normal values on blood work and x-rays and MRIs and still be dead

right makes absolutely no sense because those tests that we run they're not

about health they're showing you a moment in time and it's the result of

all the processes that have led up to that point so this dead person lying

down that has normal values what's wrong with them the answer is there are no

signals life and health is signals it is how much signals you have how well those

signals are processed how well they are balanced that results in a state called

homeostasis a dead person has no signals you cannot adjust a dead person and have

any results because the adjustment is not about moving body parts it's about

creating better signals so in order to understand health we need to completely

change our point of view away from symptoms and what it looks like in this

moment to asking how are the processes working what does a body need what is

required for health what is being supplied and processed in

an organism that has health so the very first thing we want to change is we want

to think of the body as the human as an information processor first we are

information first and we are a physical body second sure we have a physical body

sure we have limbs and mechanics and joints and levers but those are

secondary information is first vibration information processing signals how well

is that stuff working because that is primary and the body is more like a

printout so if we compare the body with a computer a computer has hardware and

it has software the software is what runs the hardware we can put the best

hardware together but if we don't have a healthy operating system if we don't

have healthy programs if the software isn't processing the signals and the

information correctly the hardware is absolutely useless it is pointless in

diagnosing and taking pictures of the hardware if we don't know what the

software is doing that's how the body works as well so we'll talk a lot more

about this I just want to do a brief introduction on this topic to try to

help us change the way that we look at things so please don't hesitate to ask

more questions let me know what you want to know more about and comment down

below and of course don't forget to subscribe if you like to explore these

sort of topics and you want to know more about how to get healthier and

understand the mechanics behind it thank you so much
