What are the information health essentials that everyone must understand for optimal health? Barbara O’Neill briefly explains the 8 laws of health. Find out about the unnegotiable health laws that govern our well-being.
Pure air. We should be having pure air because our cells need that oxygen
Make sure that the air that you are breathing is top quality
It’s important to let fresh air inside the home. Many people wake up tired because they are not breathing in fresh air while they sleep. If it is cold outside, grab a blanket to keep warm.
Exercise. The best way to oxygenate the body is exercise.
Take time every day to get exercise.
Even if it’s just walking around the block is a good start. And as you get stronger as your heart gets stronger, your muscles get stronger. Your lungs start to take in more oxygen. You can go further for less time.
Sunshine. Sunshine is the doctor in the sky. We need to visit that doctor every day. Even being outside on cloudy days, you are getting a little bit of sunshine through those clouds.
Yes you can overdo sunshine intake in hot environments. And if you’ve got milky skin, you need to be careful.
The darker the skin, the more sunshine you need. Very dark skin people need about 10 times the sun that lighter skin people need.
That sunshine is vital for us to get our vitamin D which is essential for the assimilation of calcium and your strong bones.
Temperance. Temperance means not taking anything into the body that will harm it and taking in moderation the good things.
All good things should be done in moderation.
But there are some things that should never go in.
Refined sugar
Caffeine
Alcohol
Tobacco
Drugs
Chemicals
Herbicides
Insecticides
Mold
And be very cautious of that electromagnetic field and your exposure to it.
Rest.
Dr. Matthew Walker in his bestselling book “Why We Sleep,” he says 8 hours is not negotiable. And the early hours are very important.
Rest has a lot of jobs to do in your body and while you sleep. Let rest have time to do the recovery, the regeneration, and the restoration that is si vital for the proper functioning of our brain and our body in those hours.
Proper Diet. The body cannot function, cannot repair and cannot heal if it doesn’t have nourishment. . The Garden of Eden diet tells us that we should be having
A high fiber diet
Our proteins every day. Our legumes, nuts and seeds.
Some whole grains
We should be having the nuts and seeds for our fats.
We also need fiber which comes from our fruits and our vegetables.
Water. Our body needs hydration. We lose about 2 ½ quarts a day and it must be replaced.
2 quarts can come in the form of pure water. The other ½ quart can come in as we eat our fruits and our vegetables. Maybe herbal teas. Maybe vegetable juice.
Our digestive enzymes our made from water.
Water should generally be taken between our meals, not with our meals
We should be stopping the water intake ½ hour before our meals.
We should resume our water about 1 ½ hours after our meals. That will allow our digestive juices to remain nice and acidic to allow the proteins in the body to be broken down.
If you have a glass of water ½ hour before the meal, the first thing it will do is thicken the mucosal wall that lines the stomach to protect it against the acidic environment.
Trust in Divine Power. Trust that God has given you a body with an inbuilt ability to heal itself.
He knows what He is doing.
He gave us the water
He gave us the herbs
He gave us a brain that is able to work these things out.
When we surrender our hearts and our minds to God and ask him for guidance, He will send the spirit of truth. That Spirit helps us to discern right from wrong through reason, intellect and judgment what is the best way that we should go.
