Seventh Core Element of Health

"And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made . " "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy . " The seventh core element of health is rest. Sleep is what most people think of in relation to this term, however, there are many forms of rest including sleep. Wholesome recreation is a very good way to rest from our labors. Fasting is a healthy way to rest our digestive system. Sleep is a great way to rejuvenate our bodies. Having a day of rest to focus on spiritual things and worshiping God is one of the best, most effective forms of rest. And as we are all mortal, one day all of our spirits will have a time of rest from our physical bodies. Rest does not mean doing nothing or wasting our time. When we are fasting or sleeping our bodies are using energy to improve the body. We need to be careful not to waste our time in the name of rest and relaxation, wasting time is not healthy. ...

Sixth Core Element of Health

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth . " "Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work . " The sixth element of health is labor. Replenishing and subduing the earth, as well as having dominion over every moving, living thing requires physical labor. Some would use the words exercise or work as the title for this element, but exercise can be selfish, not fitting to follow love, and work, as a term used today...

"And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth . " In the account of the creation of the earth the animals were brought forth and commanded to be fruitful and multiply. Man was likewise commanded to do the same. The fundamental organization in which this is to occur is in the family. And the most fundamental cause which brings this about is love. The fifth core element of health is love with the central focus around love in the family. All forms of love are encompassed by this element of health. There are different ways to express love, differen...

Fourth Core Element of Health

"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth . " The fourth core element of health is light. Light is a very broad topic, it includes the full electromagnetic spectrum of light: Radio waves, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. Light is affected by gravity. Our bodies communicate through light. As electrons move they emit light with its magnetic field. We are affected by how much light we receive, what forms of light, the balance of the spectrum on our bodies and the large bodies in space with their gravitational affects. Our bodies also have a low energy effect on other people and objects. This goes both ways. We are electrical beings. The communication between our brain and the rest of our body is largely connected to this fact. Where there is ...
