The
World Health Organization defined health as “a state of complete physical,
mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or
infirmity.” That was said in 1948. What was true then is also true today.
If
you are healthier in the real sense of the word, you will also be younger; if
you have set this as a lifelong goal, you will then experience it for longer in
your life.
Life
is a learning experience: everything and everyone you encounter can be your teacher,
if you are willing to be the student. The more you learn about how to be
younger and healthier for longer, the wiser you become. Let healthy living be
your lifelong goal and let your healthy lifestyle be upheld by
the following seven pillars of wisdom to remain
younger and healthier for longer.
(1)
The wisdom of fresh air and healthy sunshine: “Fresh air impoverishes the
doctor.” – A Danish Proverb
All
centenarians have at least two things in common: they all breathe deeply and slowly (i.e.
correct breathing); they get their solar energy from green food and salubrious
sunshine. Clean air and sunshine provide the groundwork for healthy living and
a healthy lifestyle.
(2)
The wisdom of clean drinking water: “By means of water, we give life to
everything.” — Koran 21:30
Your
body is made up of 70 – 90 percent of water, depending on your age and
constitution. The most important nutrient in your body is clean pure water. The quality of
your tissues, including their performance and resistance to injury, is
absolutely dependent on the quality and quantity of the water you drink.
(3)
The wisdom of healthy eating: “Your food shall be your medicine.” — Hippocrates
You
are what you eat, and you become what you eat. You eat to live, and not live to
eat.
(4)
The wisdom of physical fitness: “Health is the vital principle of bliss, and
exercise of health.” — James Thomson
Physical
fitness is an on-going physical activity that
must begin today without
delay or procrastination, because tomorrow may
become a disease. Physical
fitness gives you not only a good body image but also a clean bill of health.
(5)
The wisdom of good relationships: “You never lose by loving. You always lose by
holding back.” – Barbara De Angelis
The
art of living well is the capability to live in harmony within self as well as
with others. It requires focusing first on
others’ needs rather than on one’s own. Loving-kindness and human compassion
constitute mindfulness, which is the key to any good relationship. Read my book Be A Better and
Happier You With Tao Wisdom. Learn how to live according to the
ancient wisdom of Tao (based on the true human wisdom expressed in the book Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, an
ancient sage from China .
(6) The wisdom of natural sleep:
“Sleep is the golden chain that ties health to our bodies together.” — Chamfort
Natural
sleep relaxes your body, mind, and soul to provide holistic wellness, which is
the foundation of health and youth. Natural sleep does not require the aid of
pharmaceutical drugs to induce sleep.
(7)
The wisdom of life passion: “There is no end. There is no beginning. There is
only the passion of life.” – Federico
Fellini
Life
passion is your passion for being younger and healthier for longer.
Essentially, it means you are passionate about your well-being: why you want to be healthier and
younger, and how you
can achieve these goals in life.

Awakening Course: Get your life tools to live a life of great health and
fitness, to find true love and long-lasting relationships, and to discover real
happiness. Be more emotionally and spiritually enlightened!

the wisdom in living to
become younger and healthier for longer, and live to 100 and beyond if you just don't die!
