EATING MEAT LOWERS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
WAYS TO BUILD THE IMMUNE SYSTEM DRINK PLENTY OF WATER
The earth is almost three-fourths water; fresh fruits and vegetables are also close to three-fourths water; and the human body is close to three-fourths water. We therefore need a lot of water every day. How much is a lot? If you weigh 160 Ibs. divide this in half to get 80; this is how many ounces of water you need daily under normal circumstances. If you are working out in the sun all day long you will obviously need more. I only recommend three kinds of water to drink: they are pure rain water, distilled water, and Reverse Osmosis water.
EXERCISE IN THE SUNSHINE AND FRESH AIR
GETTING THE PROPER AMOUNT OF REST
The requirement for sleep varies with age. A baby sleeps most of the time. A young child before the age of six needs at least 12 hours, and a teenager should have from 9-10 hours of sleep per day. This much sleep is not necessary for older individuals because the old need only to repair the daily waste of tissue, whereas the young require in addition much energy for growth and development.
BEING TEMPERATE AND TRUSTING IN GOD
"Every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things" . (I Corinthians 9:25). Our problems, our sicknesses are often the result of our own intemperate habits. A man does not die; he kills himself. A healthy, happy person is one who is well balanced physical y, mentally, and spiritual y.
Temperance means self control or moderation in the enjoyment of those things which are good, and avoidance of that which is harmful. Trusting in God produces a calm, peaceful attitude, whereas not trusting in God produces stress.
Stress today is one of the major causes of disease and death in our modern society. Worry and fear are burning out the life forces. As many as 32 mil ion people, 15% of all Americans, require some form of mental health services. In addition, approximately 25% of the American population suffers severe emotional stress. This means that a total of 40% of the American population have severe emotional problems.
I have found that our problems are most often the result of our own wrong habits and decisions. Great intellectual and spiritual powers are not the result of chance; they are the fruits of effort. Many of the diseases from which men suffer are the result of mental depression. Certain classes of thoughts produce hormones that tend to destroy the health of the mind and break down the life forces. These include hatred, anxiety, jealousy, anger, fear, envy, excitement, prolonged or abnormal sexual stimulation, excessive ambition, worry, guilt, etc..
CONCLUSION
If you faithfully follow these few guidelines I have just covered I can promise you that you will be helping your body to have a strong immune system which will , in turn, add time and joy to your life.
