LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Lifestyle contributor Carrie Hawker Diaz sat down with Dr. Howard, the founder of Balance of Nature, to talk about what he sees as the future of health and nutrition in America and to share habits and strategies aimed at helping people live healthier lives.
During the conversation, Dr. Howard said he talks with his staff about “changing the world one life at a time,” and expanded that idea to what he described as the ability to “change nation.” He pointed to what he called “maha,” saying, “Who can argue with make America healthy again?” and adding, “I can say, make all the world healthy again.”
Dr. Howard said he believes the country’s health should be treated with the same urgency as individual health. “By the time you get a symptom, 60% of the function of that tissue or organ or the cell is gone,” he said, adding that “it’s the same with the health of our nation. We have symptoms.”
He said repairing the nation starts with people coming together. “Communication is the number one key, I believe,” he said, also encouraging people to learn about history, which he said “really denotes who we are.”
Dr. Howard also described health as “multifaceted,” saying it has “three sides”: chemical, physical and spiritual. On the chemical side, he said, “Everything in fruits and vegetables, what makes its color and its taste and its smell is all chemicals, naturally occurring chemicals.” On the physical side, he said it is “not just about exercise,” but also “how your pieces are put together.” And on the spiritual side, which he said some people call mental or emotional, he added: “It’s not about religion, it’s about you.”
