Things your body needs *

As mentioned before, human body could be seen as a machine for generating energy because that is exactly what it does. When there's a deficit, we say "today I feel like I have no energy", when that deficit grows, our sex drive lowers, our metabolic rate slows down and that produces a downward spiral of rapid aging.

So what are the things your body needs in order to thrive, slow down the aging process and allow you to peak in physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual and sexual level?

Before we focus on what your body needs on each of these levels, let me bring up what I think is the most fundamental guideline.

In Chinese theory, everything we are is defined on the physical level - the level of our organs. There are 12 of them, 12 cylinders that make, move and store energy necessary for our operation.

Your body is a fascinating organism, performing dozens of simultaneous processes in order to keep going. But fundamentally, it relies on your decisions and your choices for it's survival.

So the most important thing your body needs is that you align your behavior and your choices in life with your body's design.

This means educating yourself enough to keep successfully choosing natural and beneficial over convenient and satisfying answers.

It means learning to work with your body as if it was your best friend, alert to it's needs and capable of telling the difference between what your brain wants and what your body needs.

This is easier if you consider that what your brain wants is definitely different from what your body needs and it is your body that you want to thrive if you want your brain to keep functioning well into your old age...
