Ah! The question we ask me often. “What is the right diet to do? ” “What diet do you recommend? ” In other words what should I eat to be slim and in shape?
There are today a wide range of diets aimed at weight loss. These diets have not only an effect on the body, but they also risk exposing ourselves to an important nutritional imbalance (vitamins, trace elements, minerals, etc.).
Thus, restrictive diets – i.e. deprivation of food – are to banish and replace by a lifestyle that promotes healthy eating, because it will be beneficial to the body in the long term.
But healthy eating (which I discuss throughout this site) is part of a set called lifestyle.
When we talk about lifestyle, us immediately comes to mind the image of the body and environmental cleanliness. But the science of vital hygiene goes far beyond these two elements. In fact, there is a plethora of elements linked together, to be applied in the daily to optimize the health, energy and vitality. For some, this approach was used to cure them of their incurable disease.
In 1822, Dr. Isaac Jennings, physician for 20 years and not satisfied with the results of the popular medical methods of his time, renounce the use of medication to his patients and chooses the use of natural principles for the optimization of health, as the young. He subsequently became the founder of vital hygiene.
What is therefore vital hygiene?
This is a set of rules for basic and natural life allowing us to preserve health and restore it in case of illness. These rules are interconnected and must be part of our daily lives:
- Pure air
- Quality water
- Adequate body temperature (97-99 F)
- Clean internal without pollutant
- Sleep
- Adequate food
- Regular physical activity
- Exposure to the Sun
- Rest, relaxation
- Natural nutrition
- Security and meaning in life
- Creative work
- Self-control
