HOW TO BE A DUMMY - DON'T EXERCISE - Health Instead of Disease Series #4

Science often makes strides in catching up to the counsel and advice of the Creator. Exercise is one of God's 8 laws of health and the benefits obtained in obedience to these laws is being discovered all the time. At the same time, Hollywood is making fortunes in profits from movies which poke fun at those who may have a little more weight than they might need and who are generally but sincerely ignorant of the laws of health. The Bible commends and encourages the person who recognizes the need to exercise. A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. (Proverbs 24:5) The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. (Habakkuk 3:19)

A Christian author who saw the connection between health and religious experience shared the following valuable insight regarding exercise more than 100 years ago.

In order for the brain to have clearness and strength of thought, retentive memory, and mental power, the muscles of the body should have exercise a portion of each day in order to preserve and improve health. {HR/M11873 par. 5}

The whole body is designed for action; and unless the physical powers are kept in health by active exercise, the mental powers cannot long be used to their highest capacity. {Ed 207.2}

AND WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE WOULD BE THE BEST EXERCISE FOR THE MIND ?

There is no exercise that can take the place of walking . By it the circulation of the blood is greatly improved. . . . Walking , in all cases where it is possible, is the best remedy for diseased bodies, because in this exercise all of the organs of the body are brought into use.-- T., V. III, p. 78. {HL 129. 5}

Without proper exercise, the mind cannot be sharp and will eventually grow weaker in power. This information is not new but now studies are confirming these words of wisdom concerning exercise, walking and the mind.

While it is true that there are many wonderful exercise programs and facilities which offer more than a walking experience, none are as simple or more natural than the one which our Creator included with the package of human anatomy we each own. Some people are more inclined to feel the need for additional equipment in order to complete their exercise regimen. Others may utilize tools to help with an aggressive strength building or weight loss routine. We are free to choose; but if all you want to do is make sure your mind stays sharp, walking will do just fine.

Try the 8 laws of health that God has revealed in His word. It may save you some time if you're waiting for science to discover what's best for your health.

Here are the 3 steps to be taken for the restoration of health.

1. In case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained.

2. Unhealthful conditions should be changed, wrong habits corrected.

3. Then nature is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities and to re-establish right conditions in the system.

The use of herbs should complement obedience to the 8 laws of health. More information about this at www.issues-of-life.com under health issues.
