The Eight Health Laws:
1. Eat a healthy diet of nutritious food. Try to get plenty of fruits and veggies and eat at least some raw fruits and veggies each day. (I like to say that I eat a plant based diet)
2. Exercise adequately - at least 30 minutes - 1 hour everyday -if you can not exercise this much at one time split it up into 3 sections of time of 10 minutes at a time. Something IS better than nothing.
3. Rest properly. (7-8 hours of sleep is ideal) (Trying to get to bed by 10:00pm)
4. Try to get at least a little sunshine each day - when the sun is out.
5. Drink at least 8 glasses - or more of water each day.. sodas and coffee are actually a diuretic - which means they can not be included in the 8 glasses.
6. Get plenty of fresh air every day.
7. Live a balanced life
8. Trust in God. Good Spiritual health really does contribute to good physical health.
When I follow these guidelines, I feel better, I am happier and I have a better outlook on life. So even though my carnal self - keeps fighting against doing the things that keep me healthier - I am choosing to claim these verses below:
"Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, whom you have of God? And you are not your own,
20 for you are bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." 1 Corinthians 6:19 - 20
My body is the temple of God and my desire is to glorify God. And the way that I can do so -is to follow the 8 principles above.
So now my part is to continue to ask God lead me and to give me the strength to make the right choices. And when I fail - not to give up but to get up and try again.
