Have you found yourself watching the Olympics and thinking, “I wish I was a great athlete!”
What does it take to be an Olympian? Some say it’s genetics. Others say it’s hard work. Regardless, there is one attribute every athlete that dreams of a medal has: faithfulness. Faithfulness in training, eating, sleeping, drinking, attitude and vision. And although you may never compete for your country, according to author Paige Waehner, you can at least train like those who do. Here are suggestions from her article, “Train Like an Olympian.”
The health of our body is supported by trillions of beneficial microorganisms that comprise our intestinal flora. These are invaluable, since in our body's digestive and nutritive process these are what breaks down the nutrients from our food to nurish our cells, organs and systems. When our intestinal flora thrive, we can, too. But when it is impaired or imbalanced, we become more prone to acute health problems, including IBS and other digestive problems, allergies and asthma, urinary tract and yeast infections, hormonal imbalance, obesity, and many others illnesses due to improper nutrition.
