The difference between books about health and books about medicine
Hi everyone!
I recently finished a book titled “Healing through diet” (in polish), which I knew that it would not correspond entirely with my beliefs, but I still decided to read it. I once again confirmed myself how the majority of books concerning medicine and diet are written.
- They are very complicated, because the author tries hard to provide scientific proofs for his statements.
- You somehow get the feeling that you are doing everything wrong.
Both things unfortunately discourage you. The are so hard to understand that you need to literally study them and read a couple of times. You get the feeling that health is something difficult to achieve and understanding biochemistry is essential.
While some observations of the author of this book might be right, the conclusions are subjective and lead to the beliefs of the author. You could take the same observations and have completely different conclusions than the author did and you would not be wrong!
The main difference between a book about medicine and a book about health is that a book about medicine tells you how to cure diseases, and a book about health tells you how to be healthy! This is oil and water!!
First of all, health is simple! You do not need a master’s degree and have basically any understanding of biology to obtain perfect health. All you need is openness and trust your intuition and learn to listen to your body. If you develop that kind of trust for your inner feelings than you will not ask for scientific proofs, the feeling of knowing what is right will be enough for you.
This kind of trust happens also when learning foreign languages. When you know the meaning of a word, which came across you several times, but you still feel you need to check it in the dictionary, then your level of trust in yourself is low. And this costs you time, energy and fun!
I am not saying reading such books is bad, but you need to be aware that they will not bring you far. Follow people whose health impresses you. Their message is much stronger. It’s like listening to an successful entrepreneur about starting a business or a traveler about traveling – you belove what they say, because they learned it through experience!
