22 Rules for Your Optimal Health

​Rather than guess about health or rely on the advice of those who make a living off of you, use this simple common sense:
​

We are natural creatures designed to live on preindustrial Earth, naked in nature busily foraging and hunting for food that is nontoxic and can be eaten as is. Granted we may not be able to perfectly duplicate that, but it is the prototypical existence our genes expect. To the degree we depart from our design is the degree to which we can expect health to be compromised or fail.

Each of the following rules is in keeping with the above heuristic truth and will solve obesity and 99+% of all health problems.

1. Exercise each day at least the equivalent of what would be required to create shelter and obtain food in the wild. Training for a competitive sport is an excellent motivator if health and self-respect aren't.

2. Expose as much of the body to the sun as often as possible. If in danger of burning, seek shade or wear clothes. The sun generates vitamin D, the master hormone, energizes biochemical pathways, lifts mood, and regulates circadian rhythms.

3.Go barefoot as much as possible to permit unshielded contact with the electron-rich magnetic Earth (earthing).

4. Drink a couple of quarts of purified alkaline water (not plastic bottled) each day. More if ill.

5. Eat organic, non-GMO foods.

​6. Use grass-fed, free-range animal products. Such foods are not only healthier but more humane.

​7. What can be eaten raw (which does not include grains and legumes) is the best food and should be emphasized. (Humans are the only creatures on earth to cook their food. We are not smarter than nature.)

8. Fast periodically, just like you would have to in the wild.

9. Supplement intelligently as an insurance policy since modern foods are increasingly depleted.

10. Look for self-help remedies or natural health practitioners if faced with a health problem.

11. Always research the dangers of any remedy before submitting to. (Keep in mind that no disease was ever caused by lack of a pharmaceutical.)

12. Find creative physical, mental, and ethical challenges.

​13. Take responsibility for yourself. You are nobody else's duty.

14. Find loving relationships, but don't assume anyone is going to, or should, put you at the center of their life.

15. We are on Earth to experience the consequences of mistakes and learn from them. Keep in mind that no matter what your past, your future is spotless.

16. Follow your personal, self-reflecting, conscience.

17. Make a better world, which means protecting natural balances and freedom.

18. Help those who cannot help themselves, or, if possible, help them to help themselves.

19. Do not permit the loss of freedoms to a self-serving government or other organization.

20. Seek truth, not confirmation of prior beliefs.

21. View with suspicion any ideology or advice that financially benefits the giver.

​22. Be respectful of the gift of life, every beat of your heart, and breath you take. If you don't take care of your body, where else will you live?
