The first wealth is health
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good
Health cannot be bought, and it is worth more than anything else.
Not only
must we know how to take good care of our
own bodies, but also teach our children and others to help one another keep healthy.
To keep our bodies healthy
we must have sufficient sleep, eat hygienic food, drink plenty of clean
boiled water, exercise every day, and have abundance of fresh air.
The body is the temple of the soul. Don't
hurt your body
with bad habits.
Sleep
Resting
the Brain. The brain
is always busy except when we are asleep. No one can live even a
week without sleep. If a dog is
kept awake for five days, it will die.
Children need much more
sleep than older persons.
Men and women who
work should have about 6 - 8 hours of sleep daily
to remain in good health.
You should go to bed every night at about
the same hour. This will help you to fall asleep as soon as you are
in bed.
Clean up your body
and put
on clean pajamas before you go to bed.
As people grow older they require less sleep than they did in their youth. It is not uncommon
for older people to sleep only five to six hours nightly.
Breathing
If we stop breathing
for only four or five
minutes, we will die.
We breathe
about
18
times each minute,
because all
parts of the body are calling for oxygen. The harder we work the
more frequent we breathe because the
muscles need more oxygen in order to function well. When we inhale, the air
should pass only through the nose because it is lined with
hairs and tiny waving threads which filters out the dust.
Why do we breathe?
Breathing
means taking air into the lungs and
forcing
it out.
When we breathe in, an important element called "oxygen" in
the air enters the blood. The blood then carries the
oxygen to all parts of the body where it can help the organs do
their work.
The air which we exhale is not the same as that which
we inhaled.
We breathe therefore to get
oxygen (positive energy) into the body and
expel some of
the waste matter (negative energy.)
Breathing with proper technique is a very important exercise on its
own.
A very precious Ancient Chinese relic (遗迹)
related to “energy” was inscribed with 45
Chinese characters on a Jade Pendant in the late Warring States
Period (475 -221 BC).
Take deep breaths to bring in “positive energy” to
the body, and breathe out slowly through the mouth to get rid of the
negative energy from the body. Those who practice this
breathing cycle
will be healthy.
Exercise
Everyone should
keep his
body healthy by
practicing deep breathing several times a day.
Take at least 12 slow, deep breaths every morning. Breathe in slowly, hold for few minutes
and breathe out slowly. This should be repeated at noon and in the evening. Every time when
you are in the vicinity of fresh air, it is good to take a few full breaths. Proper breathing will
slowly become a habit, and will greatly benefit your health.
Everyone can make his or her own breathing exercise routine. Please remember that exhaled
air is excretory matter, and that it is unclean to breathe it repeatedly.
