How I'd Transform Wellness Education If I Had A Billion Dollars

When some people think about having a ton of money they think about all the fun things they could do with that money. They would buy houses or cars and go on extravagant trips. 

I may make some improvements in my life, but more importantly, I'd make some improvements in my surrounding communities. When you know what I know it is nearly impossible to ignore the impact that each individual has on the collective thought stream. If I had a billion dollars my efforts would be spent transforming how the world looks at wellness.

Our society has been inundated with brilliant marketers that have twisted and confused truths so they can sell a product. Many of the unhealthy things people do is a direct result of watching a tv ad or seeing something printed in a magazine. Billion-dollar companies want to remain on top regardless of what they are pushing is destroying the proper functioning of the community they sell to. 

So enough complaining about what others do with their billions. 

If I had the money these are the few things I'd begin implementing straight away:

1. I'd teach anatomy to children in a fun way as soon as they enter the schooling system. With each progressive year, I'd help them connect at a deeper level to the proper functioning of their nervous system so they can be aware when it is not working properly.
2. I'd teach proper dental hygiene to all and start with children from a very young age. This would include using organic natural toothpaste, oil pulling, flossing, and tongue scraping first thing as they got out of bed (second only to going to the bathroom). 
3. I'd create a program that taught people to mindfully eat so they wouldn't be able to ignore away the consequences certain food types have when consumed. Adults may struggle with this one for a while as they learned to reconnect with their Inner Intelligence. However, children with this information would know exactly what to eat and when to eat for their unique body needs rather than following a ridiculous set of rules based on disconnected data.
4. I'd help them understand the power of sleep to help so many functions including our ability to learn and retain information. 
5. I'd have everyone practice a daily breathing exercise for about 5 min. This simple act would expose stressed states of the physiology while in activity to them more quickly. They would be able to make choices to stop what they are doing and still themselves if they are not in a life or death situation.

​This is where I'd start but this list is not anywhere close to being comprehensive. My goal would not be to get people to eat the way I think is right or be spiritual in the way I think is best. Instead, I desire to get them to slow down enough and take care of themselves so they can determine their own best cause of action. When our bodies are healthy and we aren't constantly being bombarded with stress our thoughts are much clearer. This is what I would seek for the entire planet. Clear, calm minds that understand the value of caring for themselves. From this place, we would have a springboard for an entirely different civilization.
