Vitality is a central concept in nutritional balancing science and in life. In fact, it may be the most important concept of all. Without it, or as it declines, we age and finally one’s physical body stops working and we die.
We are all born with a certain quantity of it, and the more it can be conserved, nurtured and enhanced, the healthier and often the happier anyone will be.

A FEW PRINCIPLES OF VITALITY OR ADAPTIVE ENERGY
1. We are all born with a fixed amount of a certain energy that may be called etheric or life force energy.
When it runs out, the body dies. Some are born with more of it than others, for unknown reasons that may have to do with genetics, maternal nutrition or other factors.
2. Some people are born with more ability to absorb natural or life force energy from their surroundings than others.
These people are often achievers, often happier, and often though not always less dependent upon others for nourishment and support, either physical or emotional. This is one way to tell these individuals, who are often identifiable from birth or soon after. They often have an important mission or work to perform and so they need more vitality to succeed.
This is an important concept, as it explains why some people eat poor quality food and yet at least appear to live quite well on it. Others eat high-quality food, but are very ill. Perhaps their life force absorption mechanism, which is related to their digestion, does not work as well.
This could also explain why some people can go with very little food or even water for days without perishing, while others may be very tired if they do not eat regular meals each day.
3. Anyone can learn how to conserve and enhance his or her vital energy or life force by living correctly, resting enough and by learning how to absorb more of it from the food, water ad the air we breathe.
This means that in addition to eating for the purpose of taking in various nutrients, eating, drinking and breathing properly also allow us to absorb subtle etheric energy.
Another reason to eat correctly is to “tune up” the absorption mechanisms of the body and mind to allow the body to absorb more life force energy from its environment.
4. This rather mysterious life force or adaptive energy is a key to health and all healing. It is a common denominator of health. This energy is required for all body functions. The converse of this is that any ailment or symptom can occur due to lowered vitality.
Any method that helps to conserve, nurture, enhance or create more vitality is therefore helpful for one’s healing. This is where natural healing excels and conventional allopathic medicine, in particular, often fails miserably. At best, medical drugs and over-the-counter drugs will not reduce vitality too much. However, in most cases drugs, surgery and radiation therapies have a negative impact on vitality, even if they improve other outcomes.
The reason is that allopathy or drug medical care depends mainly on toxic substances to restore health. The body must overcome the effects of the toxins in the drugs and radiation, in particular, and this uses up one’s vital energy. Over time, this tends to shorten one’s life and limit life in some other ways as well.
Natural healing methods, by contrast, employ less toxic substances, in general, and tries to avoid giving poisons, wherever possible. Thus there tend to be fewer “side effects”, “adverse effects”, “collateral problems”, or other fancy names given to describe the toxic effects of medications, surgery, radiation, and some other medical procedures. Natural healing methods may have other advantages, of course, but this is the main one for the purpose of this discussion.
The reason why allopathic medical care uses toxic drugs, by the way, is mainly because only man-made compounds can be patented. Those that control and operate the medical system do it for power and money in many cases, sadly, and they cannot make money selling natural products as well as they can selling cheap, patent medicines, also called pharmaceutical drugs. This is not exactly true in all cases, since one can sell and mark up herbs, vitamins and other natural products, but overall it is true.
5. Vitality is not something to take lightly. In other words, beware of any behavior, activity, habit or food item, for example, that lowers your vitality.
Pay attention and try to live in ways that can enhance vitality if you wish to have a long, healthy and happy life. However, beware, because some behaviors and products that are sold with the guarantee that they enhance vitality do not perform well enough today. This applies to concepts like raw food, vegetarian diets, most herbs, many vitamins and specialty products, structured drinking water, alkaline water, and hundreds of others.
