HEALTH TIPS FOR TODAY
Activity is not the same as exercise.
Are you active? Do you exercise? Exercise is superior for health to mere activity. While both activity and exercise are important as they are involved in vital physical movement, they vary in degree and benefits. Both activity and exercise employ the
body in voluntary movement. Activity uses the body to a limited degree and generally to achieve a specific purpose. Exercise employs the body over the widest possible range of movement for the particular purpose of maintaining or acquiring muscle tone and control with maximum joint flexibility. Activity requires
less physical effort and often less conscious effort once the routine has been established. Exercise demands considerable physical effort and is more beneficial as
mental concentration is simultaneously employed.

Alkalise.
The body requires a large alkaline reserve for its daily activity. The many emergencies
of acid formation through the day from wrong foods, fatigue, mental stress and lack
of sleep can be met by the competency of the alkaline reserves. Boosting the normal
body reserveof alkali by liberal use of alkali-forming foods is essential for those suffering from allergies.
The foods which should be excluded from the diet are tea, coffee, chocolate, cola
drinks, alcohol, sugar, sweets and foods containing sugar, refined cereals, meats, fish, chicken, tobacco, milk, cheese, butter, smoked, salted, pickled foods and foods
containing any chemical additives, preservatives and flavouring. These foods cause
either toxic accumulations or over-stimulation of adrenal glands or strain on pancreatic enzymes production or disturb the
blood sugar balance.
Any cure begins with detoxification.
To heal disease, first remove toxins.
The first and most basic principle of nature cure is that all forms of disease are due to the same cause, namely, the accumulations of waste materials and bodily refuse in the symptom. These waste materials in the healthy individual are removed from the system through the organs of elimination.
In the diseased person, toxins are steadily piling up in the body through years of
faulty habits of living. These bad habits are such as wrong feeding, improper care of
the body and habits contributing to enervation and nervous exhaustion such as worry, overwork and excesses of all kinds.
It follows from this basic principle that the only way to cure disease is to employ
methods which will enable the system to throw off these toxic accumulations. All natural treatments are actually directed towards this end.
