I order to remain healthy We should listen to our body, we are all a bit different, so the same rules do not apply for everyone.
Eat organic foods whenever possible, including lots of fruit and vegetables. Darker colored foods give us more vitamines. If we eat good foods we do not need to take a lot of supplements.
We need some grains, seeds, nuts and and breads, preferably whole wheat or rye.
Personally I find that I do need some meat to keep my muscles healthy, but that varies with the individual. I also drink some organic milk every day, and have organic yogurt.
Fish is also excellent for you.
Avoid too much caffeine and alcohol. I still have two cups of coffee a day. Coffee does have some positive qualities as we discussed earlyer on Givnology.
Exercise every day. Fast walking is one of the best things that you can do for your body ,and unlike jogging, it does not damage your knee and ankle joints. Yoga is also very good.
Drink lots of fluids, especially water.
Try to meditate whenever possible. Listening to peaceful music and enjoying nature and beautiful artwork is also soothing to the soul, and for some people it is a form of meditation.
Try to keep a positive an happy outlook on life; this will lower your blood pressure. Negative thoughts and emotions are very damaging for the body.
Dr Deepak Chopra has a quote in his book
"Jorney into Healing" which sums it up beautifully:
If we could allow the mind
to expand and to explore higher
realities, the body would follow.
Wouldn't that be enough to save
it from disease and old age?
