Health, Longevity and the Art of Living

The Quintessence of Natural Living is that which provides physical health, mental and emotional poise and spiritual integrity to the human organism to suffuse it with joy and happiness.
Natural Hygiene is the art and science of living in such a way that it provides all these qualities abundantly.
| "Natural Hygienists believe that, Knowledge is proud that he has learnt so much, Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.". |
- Pure Air (unpolluted, without fumes, smog, etc.)
- Pure water (unpolluted by man's chemicals)
- Wholesome food grown on unpolluted soil to which mankind is biologically suited to as a frugivore, i.e.
The natural diet of man is basically a total vegetarian diet. Man is not a flesh eating animal according to comparative anatomy and physiology, although he has over centuries adapted himself to eat flesh foods.
Biologically being in the same class as the primates and the big apes like gorillas. Ideally man should eschew all flesh foods at least. If dairy products and eggs are taken they should not be more than 1-2% of the total diet.
Those who are not able to partake of a total raw diet of fresh fruits, fresh raw vegetables, nuts and seeds should see that at least 70-85% of their total diet is composed of raw fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds or other protein food 10% and the remaining percentage as complex carbohydrates
composed of cooked whole grains and their products, steamed green vegetables and finally some steamed starchy vegetables as potatoes, yams, beetroot, carrots, parsnips, turnips etc. - Sunshine
- Physical activity and exercise
- Rest and sleep
- Relaxation and creative activity to express his creative instincts.
- Mental and emotional poise with which to meet the stresses and grains of life.
- The ability to express love and receive love essential for his spiritual growth and reproductive instincts.
- Faith in mother-nature and the life-force which has shaped his environment to augment his own self-esteem.
- The need to express humour and laughter, tears of joy and tears of sadness.
| "Either mankind stops, looks and listens to his inner voice and conscious awareness or he will end up in a headlong rush - namely his own destruction.". |
However in last few centuries mankind has gradually moved away from his instinctive natural living habits and succumbed to the vagories of the machine orientated technological age whereby he is over the verge of annihilating himself and becoming as much extinct as the plants and animals he has already made extinct by his unnatural behaviour of destroying the very hand that sustains his life - namely his environment.
Either mankind stops, looks and listens to his inner voice and conscious awareness or he will end up in a headlong rush - namely his own destruction. That this is the trend, is observed in the rapid rise in sickness and diseases, in crime and violence, in injustices and cruelty, in greed and possessiveness on one hand and despicable poverty and suffering on the other, and last but not the least, with no foresight and formulation as to the direction we must take, not only to avoid the inevitable end but to reverse the present trend so that our immediate future generations have something to look foreword to instead of disaster.
To that end, i.e. the reversing our foot-steps to that natural life-style that the art of Natural Hygiene is dedicated to. Healing, all healing is a biological process, but Natural Hygiene is the art by which we can enhance the life force in its attempt to cleanse and heal the gaping wounds we have inflicted, not only on our physical, mental and emotional bodies, but on our planet mother-earth.
| "...in Natural Living, unless we look at the problem with the heart and not just with the head, we will end up in the same mess as the so called scientist and technologist have led us into". |
I am of the opinion that in Natural Living, unless we look at the problem with the heart and not just with the head, we will end up in the same mess as the so called scientist and technologist have led us into. That does not mean to say one is superior to the other, but to me the human organism is a Holy Trinity: mind, body and spirit, and that the heart and the head must walk hand in hand as bride and groom on the path of one's salvation.
