How to Stay Healthy in a Chaotic World


There are many toxins, terrible foods, and more in the world that can play havoc with the mind, body, and spirit.
Here are some simple ways to stay healthy during chaotic times… no matter what’s happening in the world!
Time to Get Up – No matter what’s happening have a regular routine… in India the great healers have talked about our circadian rhythms for years. Get up at 6AM and to go to bed by 10 PM. The mind hates routine… but the body loves routine.
Rituals – Meditation, yoga, Qigong and many other forms of ritual rights help us stay grounded and allow us to be at peace. Meditation calms the mind, and it’s so powerful that it can switch off bad genes for disease, and switch on good genes and create health. Meditate for at least 30 minutes in the morning, and 30 minutes in the evening and it will do your mind/body good.
Exercise – The mind may not like exercise, but the body loves exercise. You don’t have to do anything elaborate – walking and swimming are great. Walking or swimming 5 miles a day will keep you fit!
What to Eat – Eat lots of organic fresh fruits and veggies and some grains, but stay away from wheat, spelt, and barley they have inflammatory qualities that cause problems.
Eat Simply – Eat because you need substance, not because you have anxiety or emotions playing havoc. Prepare simple foods with simple preparation… and pay homage to God every time you eat… it creates gratitude and gratitude does the body good.
