If something physical works for you, do not stop doing it. Bodies need continual upkeep and fuel, just like your car. Physical things fall apart without maintenance.

Your "successful actions" are anything that makes your health statistics better. Look at the before and after figures to see what has helped. For example, is the number of hours of good energy better or worse? Are the quantities of prescription drugs you need more or less? It usually helps to look at the month-to-month trends as bodies can have short-term symptoms while detoxifying or reconstructing.

Write down your successful actions as soon as you realize what they are. There is a tendency for people to forget the things that have worked for them over the years and then to stop doing those very things that improved their health.

If a specific exercise, treatment, or nutritional program helps you, get back to doing it as soon as you can.

If specific foods or supplements make you feel better, do not drop them out, unless you have something that has proven to be even better for you.

This applies to health professionals. If a person helps to improve your health condition, keep working with that person!

Ignore promotional information -- what do your before and after statistics show? You alone can create your own Owner's Manual.

Hope your health trends are up!
