RULE #1
Watch your health carefully. It is a health jungle out there. Health is far more important than your wealth because if you have your health you can always get another job, another career and so on. If you lose your health, however, you are in serious trouble in every area of life.
The most important aspects of health are not often discussed by the mass media. Health is not primarily about checkups, flu shots, vaccines, and mammograms. It is about your daily living habits such as what you eat, the water you drink, the company you keep and how much rest you obtain.
In fact, the way to find the truth is to stay away from the media, in general. Hopefully, this will change some day.
RULE #3
Rest is all important up to 10 or more hours daily if you feel you need it. This is not “running away from life”. Most people are very overtired. It taxes and weakens your mind and your body, and leads to disease, depression and even suicidal thoughts.
RULE #4
Drink 3 quarts each day of only spring water or carbon-filtered tap water. Other types of water, and other beverages like coffee, tea, soda pop, juices and others will not hydrate the body and should not be used much. Also avoid alkaline water machines and other designer waters, most of which are not that good at all.
RULE #5
Stay away from all extreme diets, including all vegetarian diets and all raw food regimens. Instead, stick with animal protein daily and about 70% of the diet should be cooked vegetables each day. Also, try to drink 10-12 ounces of fresh or bottled carrot juice each day. Also, stay away from fruit and do not eat sweets, dried fruit, fruit juices and other sugary foods. They are not needed and interfere with calcium metabolism and blood sugar regulation. They are also too yin and will eventually make you sick.
RULE #6
Junk food, a drink of alcohol or two, or other indiscretions, are not worth the thrill. Someday, you will realize that what most people consider “living it up”, “partying”, and “having fun” is not at all worth the thrill or momentary pleasures. They pay for it, often the next day, but definitely the next year or later on. Try not to make excuses for partying and eating and living incorrectly for any reason at all.
