  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Buddhism and Healthy Longevity
    Buddhism plays a pivotal role in healthy longevity. The Buddhist concept of no "ego-self" or "emptiness" takes away stress, which is one of the major causes of disease and illness. In addition, Buddhism focuses on the expression of compassion and loving kindness as the true meaning of life. This altruistic attitude inspires oneself, in the face of health adversity, to set an example to help others to relieve their own suffering.
  • Confucianism and Healthy Longevity
    Confucianism and healthy longevity are inter-related. The concepts of "chung" and "yung" of Confucius outlined everyday health practices for healthy living. In addition, Confucianism focus on spiritual wellness, using the human will to control the 'qi' (internal vital energy), enhanced both the physical and spiritual wellness necessary for healthy longevity.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Idleness And Your Longevity
    Idleness may be sweet, but it has dire consequences on your longevity health. It is common among the elderly to become idle after their retirement. But idleness is conducive to a degenerative mind, which controls an inactive body, hurtling you down the road to a premature death. Keeping your mental sharpness holds the key to your longevity.
  • Mental Relaxation and Your Mental Health
    Mental relaxation is important for mental health. Changing attitudes and lifestyle may help you in stress management. Correcting behavioral problems may help you solve life and relationship problems. Meditation provides the best mental relaxation by focusing your attention on the present moment to the exclusion of past and future thoughts, thus giving your mind a meaningful break.
  • Money And Your Longevity
    Money and your longevity are interrelated. As you age, you need money not only to pay your mounting medical expenses, but also to live, to retire, and to survive. Your longevity cannot do without money. Longevity living requires you to know how to get free money, how to preserve your money, and how to continue to make money to meet your own needs as well as the needs of others less fortunate than yourself.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Your Psychological Food Relationship and Your Health
    Psychological food relationship is related to how you think about food and its effect on your weight and body image. Unhealthy psychological food relationship, due to negative emotions or distorted thinking, often results in food addiction or an eating disorder. To improve your psychological relationship with food, you must identify the trigger and deal with it head-on. To ignore it only perpetuates the unhealthy eating behavior.
