Knowing is Half the Battle

Remember the line “Knowing is Half the Battle” from the old cartoon series G.I. Joe?  Well, I think it applies to our health and well-being too.  Most people tend to wait for something to hurt somewhere on their body before they take the necessary measures to deal with the situation.  Actually, I am the exact same way.  However, Li Lin had recently gone to do this health exam called a Bioscan, and she couldn’t stop raving about how amazing and accurate the assessment was.  I’ve always been really skeptical of these medical contraptions that claim to give you a detailed analysis of your internal organs, especially if the test takes less than ten minutes and is absolutely painless.  In fact, no blood, urine, or anything from your body needs to be sent anywhere for analysis.  Everything is essentially immediate and completed right on the spot!

So last week I decided to make an appointment with Omnigreen Wellness at Novena Medical Center to try this Bioscan out for myself.  After watching a short informational video, I took off my shoes and stepped onto the machine with metal plates for my feet and hands.  Two more electrodes were attached to  my forehead so low currents of electricity can flow “freely” and precisely throughout my body to determine the overall wellness of my body.  In about seven minutes, the Bioscan was completed and it was time for Melissa, the Senior Wellness Consultant, to break the news.  Here’s one of my body scans…

Although I felt pretty good that day, the Bioscan was able to pick up on aspects of my health that I have overlooked.  Melissa was quick to point out in the analysis that I need to take better care of my liver…

…which is the organ that is yellow colored.  Additionally, my digestive system is also an area that I need to keep an eye on too.  In a nutshell, a “perfectly” healthy person would only have a flesh-colored body composition.  Anytime you start seeing colors like yellow, blue, or red (Uh Oh), then there’s something up (or down) that you may not be aware of.

After Melissa understood my diet and lifestyle more clearly, I realized that I should make more of an effort to cut back on the alcohol and sugar intake.  Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always had a huge Sweet Tooth, but I’ve never done anything about it.  After doing the Bioscan and understanding how excessive sugar in the diet overtaxes the organs, I will definitely try to scale back a bit.  Omnigreen also has an entire range of natural supplements to get the body back up to optimal wellness, and I decided to try the Liver Prime “Golden Clam” pills and Maca Prime for even more energy!

I guess this means I should also cut back on attending big gala events like Burberry’s new store launch at Ion Orchard where champagne, wine, and other alcoholic concoctions are literally “drink to your heart’s (or liver’s) content”…

Well, I don’t expect to go completely cold turkey today or tomorrow or the next day so I’ll just take it one day and one drink at a time.  Like I’ve said before…”The Pyramids weren’t Built in One Day.”

Now, I must warn you this scan isn’t cheap, but then again, what is your health worth to you, especially if you can be equipped with the knowledge to take care of yourself and prevent anything worse from happening?
