Slow down...

Slow down enough in order to reflect, to unwind, to laugh, to smell the flowers, to enjoy the rising and setting of the sun - to simply live.

• Physical rest ...we push beyond our endurance by studying or working late at night because we ignorantly suppose that we will get ahead that way. But in reality we do not get ahead - rather we fall behind in sense our immune system becomes weaker etc.; organs will be slugged with toxins, because during the night is the highest organism cleansing time- best body detoxification. Adequate sleep is a great restorer, for it rebuilds the cells throughout entire body. It refreshes mind and body, making more alert, efficient and calmer. Rest is a healer, for it helps in recovery from infections, sickness, trauma etc. Change from mental to physical labor will benefit students.
  

• Rest in God...(moral rest). Lack of rest causes whole system to become overly strained, opening the avenue for satan to exploit vulnerability and undermine spirituality. In Bible Exodus 20:9,10,11 is written six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy works: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. It is never possible to complete all work. But just rest as your all work were done. Jesus promises in John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid"

• Rest with family and friends...position and prestige pass away, money and material possesions lose their luster, but our investment in people always endures. There was once one survery made; group of retired executives (living in retirement village) were asked what they regretted most not doing in their earlier years. Most of them felt that it was not spending time with their loved ones and friends. So...make a investment in to the family.

Veggie fact

One nice recipe : 1 Banana, 1/2 avocado pureed and sprinkled with some Goji berries + honey if desired.

When considering the amount of protein needed one should know that when the total diet contains the right proportions of alkaline foods (at least 75%) he does not need as much protein as formerly because the abundance of alkalies causes a saving of protein so that a smaller amount of protein will accomplish as much work now as the larger amount formerly did when the ration was too strongly acid-forming. For this reason the vegetarian needs less protein than those who eat animal foods.

Alkaline foods:
almonds, apples, apricots, artichoke, avocado, bananas, beans dried(lima), soy beans, fresh beets, beet greens, blackberries, Brazil nuts, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots, cauliflower, celery, chestnut, cherry juice, cucumbers, currants, dandelion, dates, eggplant, endive, figs, garbanzos, grapes, grape juice, grapefruit, honey, kale, kohl-rabi, leek, lemons, lettuce, mangoes, maple syrup, soymilk, molasses, mushrooms, olives, onions, oranges, peaches, peas dried&fresh, pears, peppers (green) pineapple, potatoes, pumpkin, radishes, raisins, raspberries, rhubarb, sauerkraut, soy bean flour, spinach, squash, strawberries, tomatoes, turnips, watercress, watermelon.

Acid foods:
barley, beef, all kinds, bread white&whole wheat, buckwheat, cheese, cherries, chicken, codfish, corn canned& green, corn meal, crackers, cranberries, eggs, gelatin, goose, ham, lamb, lentils, liver, macaroni, oatmeal, peanuts, perch, plums,pork, prunes, rice, salmon, sardines, turkey, walnuts, whitefish.

Running at top speed, a sprinter makes a dram of lactic acid every second. (Including all physical activities)This acid must be instantly neutralized. If it accumulates, the runner becomes exhausted and his muscle refuse to act. To neutralize this acid, the blood is made alkaline. The more alkaline the blood, the longer the athlete can run or wrestle or row. And the blood is kept alkaline by alkaline foods.

Massage

Almost everyone I know likes massage. I am studying massage and anatomy intensively and that is really really interesting; massage practice almost every day on each other. I have never received and made so much massage in my whole life.
Massage is good for skin, blood circulation, nerves, endocrine system, spirit of man etc.

The Creator of man has arranged the living machinery of our bodies. Every function is wonderfully and wisely made. And God has pledged Himself to keep this human machinery in healthful action if the human agent will obey His laws and co-operate with God. . . . We may behold and admire the work of God in the natural world, but the human habitation is the most wonderful.
