"Most people think that diet and exercise are the key components to staying healthy, but there really are five components to maintaining your health long term." Dr. Eric Kuyper
Dr. Kuyper suggests the following five things:
1. Healthy thoughts. This one I agree is crucial to good health. Research indicates that most of our thoughts are negative or redundant. We can train our minds to have more positive thoughts.
2. Balanced nervous system: He suggests that since the nervous system is responsible for the body's functioning and health, that we can think with kindness toward our nervous system for maintaining body health.
3. Quality nutrition. Food is fuel, and we benefit from eating foods that give us adequate energy.
4. Regular exercise. He suggests that there is not one exercise that is the perfect solution, but, instead, that movement of the body IS the solution.
5. Toxin elimination. We can avoid taking in some toxins by watching what we eat, and we can make sure we have good bowel habits.
