Your choices matter! The choices you make now determine whether you follow a lifestyle that results in permanent good health or one that can lead to distress, illness, and pain. An unbalanced system can lead to disease.
- What you eat.
Your diet should consist of approximately 75% fruits and vegetables and 25% every thing else. This keeps your body alkaline (it’s natural state) instead of acidic. In this state your body is most able to heal from injury and disease.
- What you drink.
Avoid stimulants such as coffee and alcohol. Drink mostly diluted fruit juices, vegetable juices and pure water.
- How you exercise.
Get 180 minutes of whole body exercise weekly. This can be 60 minutes 3 times per week or 30 minutes 6 days per week. Help your body stay flexible. You’ll be surprised at how good it feels and how the tendency to suffer injuries is reduced.
- How you rest.
Good sleep every night (7-9 hours) is essential to your body’s ability to heal and recharge itself. Avoid stimulants and heavy meals before you go to sleep.
- What and how you breathe.
You should breathe from your abdomen, not raising and lowering your shoulders with each breath. Clean, smoke-free air is also essential to permanent good health. If you can smell the air you breathe, it is probably not healthy.
- What you think.
Choices in this area are more important than in all other areas combined! Negative thinking, judgment, indecisiveness, and worry all build up over time and wear your body down. Think about what you think about, and focus on more positive, loving thinking.
