Health Guide – The Three Legs of Health


Eating right – Your Digestive Health 

Water Therapy

Before we were born and in the womb, nutrition plays a large part in our growth. If we do not digest well we will not grow an inch. Digestive health after all is one of the most important part of our health. Knowing how to drink and eat right can have a phenomenal impact on how to prevent and heal diseases. This assimilation department pertains to what we term as the ‘Earthly Leg’ as nutrition is from the earth.

We were taught what are good foods, how to take nutrients and supplements. However, we are seldom taught how and when to drink and eat harmoniously. When we eat, we should drink very little, when we drink, we should eat very little. This is the digestive harmony in relation to yin and yang. The way we eat and not just what we eat has everything to do with our health and weight.

Exercising Right – Your Physical Health

After we were born, we took our first gulp of air or ‘Qi’. Qi is related to air and without air it will be kind of hard to survive without it. This is the ‘Heavenly Leg’. To make full use of ‘Qi’ which means energy, we have to exercise right. However when we do exercise we should do exercises that pertains to building up Qi (energy) rather than depleting it. Exercising right creates a circulatory harmony within the human frame.

Living Right – Your Mental & Emotional Health 

After our first breath, we fortunately or unfortunately (to some people) have to live our lives through. This is where our past, present and future is all happening at the same time! So we have to be careful not to carry any unnecessary burden through our lives. This is where ignorance, anger and greed becomes a temptation and a test to see how we conduct our lives and by these emotional factors, determine our total health and well being. So live right and as in this ‘Humanly Leg’, we have no choice but to pass through the cycles of life and decay and make the most sunshine out of it. Whether we are happy or miserable depends on how we view the half-filled cup. Half full or half empty!
