Pure Air
Fresh, moving, out-of-door air oxygenates the blood and quickens every organ. Open the windows; let sunlight and air into every room.
Sunlight
Light purifies and builds. Sunshine lowers blood cholesterol and blood pressure, and even has an insulin-like effect that lowers blood sugar in exactly the right proportion.
Temperance
Leave off entirely what harms — tobacco, alcohol, caffeine — and use good things without excess. Intemperance begins at the table.
Rest
Sleep and quiet are when the body switches from digestion and labor to cleansing, repair, and rebuilding. Healing needs rest.
Exercise
Movement drives circulation, and perfect health depends upon perfect circulation. Daily, out-of-door activity is medicine.
Proper Diet
Fruit, vegetables, grains, and some nuts, eaten simply and unhurried, at regular hours, without overloading the stomach.
Water
Water is the best liquid to cleanse the tissues — taken between meals, and applied without and within as simple hydrotherapy.
Trust in Divine Power
It is God who made the body and its power to heal. A surrendered, cheerful, grateful mind is itself a vitalizing, life-giving power.
