We all would like some kind of assurance, but life is anything but a sure thing.
All we can do is be prepared to live life to its fullest or if life calls for
a sudden departure from this world in death we need to be prepared for that. That
is the kind of assurance we want to give our loved ones, that we are prepared either
way.

To live life to its fullest, we have to be in good health. And if we are not
in good health, we are not leading by example. Our loved ones will learn quicker
if you live what you preach. If you are following the eight free principles of
health, you leave them a perfect example of health to follow. The eight principles
of health spell out NEW START. All of us need a new start. You may not be aware of those eight laws, here
they are:
1)
utrition: The vegetarian diet is the best way to lose weight and keep it off, improves
health, decreases disease, promotes longer life, and is more economical.
2)
xercise: Very important for physical and mental health. Exercise lowers the heart rate
and blood pressure, controls appetite, burns up unwanted fat, increases circulation
and oxygen intake, improves muscle tone.
3)
ater: Your blood is about 90% water and it carries nutrients to and from cells. The
kidneys must have adequate water to filter out waste products. Many times common
constipation, headaches, and backaches can be relieved simply by drinking sufficient
water, which is 6 to 8 eight-ounce glasses per day.
4)
unshine: One of the most healing agents of Nature. Sunshine forms vitamin D in the skin,
destroys bacteria and viruses, increases available white blood cells, lowers blood
pressure, and lowers cholesterol and fat levels in the blood.
5)
emperance: Temperance (self-control) is having a totally healthy and balanced life- style
in every way. It includes the proper ratio of work and relaxation, time for God,
right eating and right thinking.
6)
ir: We are greatly benefited by negative ions which occur in fresh outdoor air.
Breath deeply of fresh air to increase quantities of oxygen.
7)
est: Every cell in the body expends energy. Rest helps us re-supply these cells with
the energy they need. Rest can be quiet physical relaxation or vigorous exercise
after mental work.
8)
rust in God: God has given us the power of self- government, which is the freedom and ability
to make decisions. We are unable to change our hearts, but we can choose to trust
and obey God, and He promises to work in us to give us the desire and power to
live in harmony with Him. By choosing to trust and obey God, a total change will
be made in our lives. We then will receive His power and strength.
