Water (pure)
- Most Americans are chronically dehydrated.
- Chronic dehydration contributes to heart disease.
- Drink more water. How much?
- Body Weight (pounds) / 2 = Recommended Amount (ounces) / day
- Example: 150 pounds / 2 = 75 ounces of Water/day = 9-10 cups
- Drink even more with exercise, warmer environment, fever, or diarrhea
Exercise
- MOVE MORE (sit less): Walk - short spurts (10 minutes) several times per day
- Walk a cumulative distance of 2+ miles/day at 3+ mph (20 minutes/mile), 6 days/week
Nutrition
- Consume fewer calories (mice doubled their lifespan by reducing their calories)
- EAT LESS refined junk foods – low in nutrients and fiber, high in empty calories
- EAT LESS animal products – main source of calories, saturated fats, and cholesterol
- EAT MORE whole plant foods – fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, legumes
Rest
- “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise!”
- Sleep 7-8 hours/night for increased longevity (repairs physically and restores emotionally)
- RELAX and spend more time outdoors in social recreation
Sunlight
- Vitamin D is very important for maintaining a healthy immune system.
- Helps eliminate free radicals produced by toxins in our environment.
- Helps prevent cancers, heart disease, dementia, and auto-immune disorders.
Air (fresh)
- Take several deep breaths many times/day
- Get outdoors often – as far away from ‘civilization’ as possible – beach, lake, forest, park
Temperance (self-control)
- Completely avoid negative things (unhealthy, stressful, harmful)
- Use good things in moderation (balance and good sense)
Trust (in Divine Power)
- Trust in God through a personal saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
- A spiritual connection adds years (quantity and quality) to your life. (Blue Zones)
