An Interlude to Total Health

WHEN my first article came out in FIT in mid-2005, my expectation for the scope of writing was limited to physical health. But then years taught me that illness comes to our body through many avenues—the body, the mind, and the soul.

A sick mind eventually breaks down the harmony of bodily processes. A soul in darkness slowly destroys the mind, and eventually manifests itself in physical symptoms. In short, we cannot take care of our physical health unless we, too, nourish our mental and spiritual well-being.

While it has an incidence of one in 3,500 newborn males, health experts consider this as the most common lethal disease of childhood around the world. Mutation in the male (X) chromosome [dystrophin gene, locus Xp21] causes a rapid degeneration of the muscles, leading into an eventual loss of walking ability and then death. While females do not exhibit symptoms, they can be carriers of these defective genes, especially if the father had this condition or the mother is also a carrier. Symptoms usually appear before age five; at times visible in early infancy. These symptoms involve... ( Read more .) This article appears in Sun-Star Ce...

“I RECKON being ill as one of the great pleasures of life, provided one is not too ill and is not obliged to work till one is better,” wrote Samuel Butler in The Way of All Flesh (1903). The term “antioxidant” was originally used in the 18th century to refer to a chemical that prevents the consumption of oxygen in laboratory experiments.
