first KEY POINT

Using the body’s life forces, we can prevent any disease

Nowadays, most discuss the mind's true potential and how it can rule the body. However, only a few stress the power inherent in our bodies already. The physique can take care of itself, yet we keep putting obstacles in our way to a healthy life through our eating habits, negligence, and illiteracy.Unfortunately, we perceive weak health as a natural outcome of life. People over 40 will complain about weak knees, lack of energy, or digestion problems and finish with the phrase: “But I guess it's okay at my age.” We got accustomed to feeling fragile and sick, yet nature predetermined something different.There are no diseases as we know them. Sicknesses draw our attention to the more significant matters. But instead of searching for and solving the greater problem, we keep silencing those little symptoms because they disturb our peace. We try to eliminate the disease — like how the government ends a strike without hearing the protestors’ pleadings. If we listened to those signals and solved the issue, we would enjoy health instead of settling for “I guess, I'm fine.”When we approach our bodies as if they were made to be energetic and healthy, we get into an offensive position, not a defensive one. Only then can we prevent any illness, even cancer or diabetes.

We decide how healthy we are at any age.

Hence, we shouldn't accept “feeling okay” — we should strive to allow our bodies to be what they were made for — free from diseases and problems.In this summary, you'll discover five main forces of our body that predetermine our health and life: nutrition, hydration, oxygenation, alkalization, and detoxification. Learn to master these elements, and you will prolong your life and enjoy a healthy life.

second KEY POINT

Nutrition is the foundation of a healthy body

The first force we should care about is nutrition. If you are thin or overweight or have heart, liver, or other issues, you probably choose food that destroys your body. Some doctors presume that the 600,000 Americans who die from heart disease every year could live longer if they ate properly. But what does “properly” mean?Research has shown that people eating primarily fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and beans live longer and feel better than their counterparts who devour meat, greasy and processed food. Mass-produced food usually contains few nutrients and lots of chemicals. Even dairy, which has a particular value for your body, could be labeled toxic, as it contains additives and preservatives.
