- Physical Relaxation and Your Longevity Health
Physical relaxation plays a pivotal role in your longevity health because it takes away your tension, which not only saps your energy but also causes many diseases and disorders, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and mental depression. Learning physical relaxation is a skill that does not come naturally. Practice physical relaxation daily will benefit not only your body but also your mind. Make it your daily regimen. - Mental Depression and Nutritional Deficiency
Mental depression may be due to nutritional deficiency, such as magnesium deficiency, caused by chemicals in foods and the environment. Eat whole foods and stay away from sugar and all processed foods, which are loaded with chemicals, additives, preservatives, and food colorings, among others. These toxic chemicals may cause abnormal functioning in your neurotransmitters, resulting in mental depression. - Hormones And Your Depression
Depression may be caused by hormonal changes, in particular in women during different stages in their lives. Estrogen is critical to mental health because they are responsible for optimum functioning of your neurotransmitters. Other hormones, such as thyroid hormone and testosterone, may contribute to depressive episodes. Other factors, such as genetics, diet, lifestyle, and the environment all play some role in developing depression. - Depression And Your Thinking
Thought discipline is an effective way to deal with depression. Change the way you think about yourself through self-knowledge and intuitive wisdom to make a significant change in your life. Depression is no more than distorted thinking due to the obsession of the self, the attachment to material things, and the unwillingness to accept the pleasant as well as the unpleasant things in life. - Zen and Your Sex
Everyday life, including sex, is the path to Zen wisdom, which is a pure spiritual philosophy transcending the boundaries of time and space. Just focus on the “experience” of life, including your “experience” of sex. Make sex "spontaneous," neither a goal nor a performance. Make sex connect you to the most basic core of your being. - Depression And The Oriental Health
According to the Oriental medicine, depression is related to liver "qi" (internal life energy). Unlike Western medicine, the Oriental approach emphasizes the physical rather than the psychological aspects of the disease. The Oriental health uses diet, exercise, and acupuncture to treat the causes of depression, while the Western medicine uses psychology and medications to treat the symptoms. - Depression According To Zen
According to Zen, depression is a disease of the mind. It originates from human desire which can never be fulfilled due to the transient nature of things in life. The unfulfilled desire creates pain, which is unavoidable. Any futile attempt to avoid the pain only turns it into perpetual suffering, which is depression. - Brain Health and Your Longevity
Brain health has everything to do with heart health, and hence your longevity health. What is good for the heart is good for the brain. Giving good numbers to your heart maintain your brain health. In addition, sharpen your mind with activities to maintain the communication of brain cells to keep your brain healthy. - Heart Surgery And Your Longevity
Heart surgery, such as angioplasty, may be unnecessary and even harmful to patients suffering from heart disease. Medicines may be effective in treating and preventing heart disease. In Oriental medicine, on the other hand, focus is on foods and acupuncture to unblock "qi" (internal life energy) and blood for optimum heart health, which has to be wholesome. - Arthritis and Longevity Living
Arthritis, common among the elderly, is a debilitating disease due to toxins accumulated in the body; it is not a consequence of aging. To control arthritis, you must firstly detoxify the body, and rejuvenate it with herbs, foods, and a balanced diet to maintain the body's acid and alkaline level. - Anti-Aging Fasting
Fasting is anti-aging in that it is the most natural and effective way of detoxification for optimum wellness and longevity. Fasting has many therapeutic health benefits. A regular 1-2 day fast promotes anti-aging. A longer fast may even cure chronic diseases. - Weight Control And Your Longevity (2)
Weight control is almost impossible if your body is toxic. To effectively and permanently reduce your weight, you must first detoxify your body through fasting, foods, herbs, hydrotherapy, skin brushing, and foot patches, and then eat less. - Weight Control And Your Longevity (1)
Weight control holds the key to your longevity. To control weight you need to understand the fundamentals of weight loss, thereby controlling it. - Diabetes And Your Longevity
Often a result of years of abuse to your immune system through a wayward lifestyle, you may develop diabetes as you continue to age. Given that there is no miracle cure, you should control diabetes through a healthy diet and positive lifestyle, instead of depending on medications, which are often unsafe. - Acidity And Your Longevity
Pharmaceuticals are synthetic chemicals, and therefore acidic and toxic by nature. A healthy body has a balanced acid-and-alkali level. An over-acidic body spells disease and premature death. Therefore, a longevity life is a drug-free life. - Pharmaceuticals And Your Longevity
A long life is always drug-free. Pharmaceuticals are chemicals, and therefore acidic and toxic by nature. Rely more on your body's self-healing power than on the short-term symptom-suppressing pharmaceuticals. Given the unreliability of drug tests, the questionable safety of drugs and their toxic nature, refrain from taking any prescription or over-the-counter medication without extra precaution and careful consideration.
