Research has shown that having faith adds seven years to your life*. A positive  emotional state can stimulate and strengthen the body’s immune system.  On the other hand excessive stress can weaken it. Trust in Divine Power  offers peace and assurance. When the mind is free and happy from a sense  of duty well done, and from the satisfaction of giving happiness and  cheer to others, it brings joy and peace to the whole being. The  consciousness of right doing is one of the best medicines for the  prevention of disease.

The body’s most essential resource is air. More important than food or  water, proper breathing and pure air are fundamental to good health.  Your cells thrive on oxygen. Sickness, like cancer, hates oxygen. Not  all air is rich in oxygen. For oxygen-rich air, visit nature regularly,  keep windows open, and breath from your diaphragm, filling up your  lungs, and breathing out completely. Fresh country air soothes the  nerves, stimulates the appetite, and induces sound refreshing sleep. Bad  air and poor breathing habits promote depression, irritability,  exhaustion and chronic fatigue.

Action is a law of life. Muscle tone and strength are lost without exertion,  but exercise improves the health of body, mind, and spirit multiplying vitality and health. Exercise provides greater vitality, extra energy,  and longer life. It helps us to feel good and is effective in fighting  depression and relieving anxiety and stress. Exercise enhances circulation, which in turn improves memory and mental ability, and promotes better sleep and faster healing. It also decreases the pain and stiffness of osteoarthritis by delivering blood to the joints, and it can relieve headaches as well.

“Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold  the sun.” Ecclesiastes 11:7. Sunlight is essential for our health and overall well-being. It is necessary for bone growth, enhances mood, balances hormones, stimulates the immune system, helps the heart and circulation, and aids in waste elimination. Where direct sunlight is not  possible supplementation with vitamin D3 is crucial. 

Bad air and poor breathing habits promote depression, irritability,  exhaustion and chronic fatigue. A vital part of a healthful lifestyle is getting the right quantity and quality of sleep. This is when the body grows, repairs damage, and restores energy, preparing itself for another day of activity. Losing as little as three hours sleep in a single night can cut the effectiveness of your immune system in half.  

A clean body and environment are essential for physical and mental  wellbeing. Ephesians 5:25; Psalm 19:9. Water is fundamental to all biological activity. It is the universal lubricant that enables everything else to function properly. A lack of water dehydrates the  body's fluids, tissues, and cells. It thickens the blood, increasing the  risk of stroke and heart disease. Every day, drink 6–8 cups of pure water in-between meals. Daily bowel movements are vital. When you wake up in the morning, drink two cups of very warm water.

Temperance is abstaining from all that is harmful, and being moderate in that  which is good. Temperance is a fruit of the Spirit, so we can only be temperate as we ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit and let Him rule in our hearts and minds. Galatians 5:22, 23; Colossians 3:15.   

Our health is affected by the foods we eat. When we are hungry, we should  avoid filling our stomachs with empty carbs that make us feel full and  energised for a short period of time. Instead, we should eat nutritional foods that fuel our cells and aid in their maximum performance. The most nutritious foods are those that have not been processed. Make sure your meal is made up of fresh fruits or vegetables  (do not consume fruits and vegetables at the same meal); carbohydrates (whole grains or starches, like brown rice, sweet potatoes, millet, quinoa, barley, etc.); and  plant protein (nuts, seeds, beans, chickpeas, lentils, tofu, etc). Reduce or eliminate your consumption of meat and dairy items.
