YOUR BODY IS A RIVER
Excerpt from Prefect Health by Deep Chopra,
M.D.
We all tend to see our bodies as "frozen
sculptures" -- solid, fixed, material objects -- when in truth they
are more like rivers: constantly changing, flowing patterns of intelligence.
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus declared, "you cannot step into
the same river twice; for fresh waters are ever flowing in." the
same is true of the body. If you "pinch an inch" around your
waist, the fat you are squeezing between your fingers is not the same
as it was last month. Your adipose tissues (fat cells) fill up with fat
and empty out constantly, so that all of it is exchanged every three week.
You acquire a new stomach lining every five days (the innermost layer
of stomach cells is exchanged in a matter of minutes as you digest food.
Your skin is news every five weeks. Your skeleton, seemingly so solid
and rigid, is entirely new every three months. In all, the flow of oxygen,
carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen is so rapid that you could be renewed in
a matter of weeks; it is only the heavier atoms of iron, magnesium, copper,
and so on that slow down the process, You appear to be the same outwardly,
yet you are like a building whose brick are constantly being replace by
new ones. Every year, 98 percent of the total number of atoms in your
body are replaced -- this has been confirmed by radioisotope studies at
the OAK Ridge laboratories in California.
