At the risk of preaching, I will give some advice. For optimum health, employ proper nutrition (closer to raw and unprocessed), get regular exercise, get the proper amount of sleep, pursue appropriate stress relief methods including spirituality even if that is simply quiet contemplation or a walk in the woods, do not watch TV news or listen to talk radio, watch no more than one hour of TV per day (except for the occasional movie about nothing too upsetting), and spend no more than one hour per day ON THE INTERNET, limit substances like alcohol, tobacco, firearms, caffeine, etc.
Boring? Maybe. Obvious? Possibly. Preachy? Definitely. I don't do all these things all the time and few people do, but having them as a goal all the time is a good way to get closer to optimum health. It takes some discipline and commitment, and when you aren't feeling well it gets harder to do the right things. We need more authority figures (health specialists) reminding us.
If you aren't living this way and aren't attempting to do basic things to take care of your body and your mind, then you ARE taking shortcuts and looking for quick fixes and a lot of it is just talk to avoid the real work. If you aren't teaching kids all this and more they will not really be educated and the vicious circle will be unbroken, and those who profit from our misery will increase their wealth and power.
You must have a healthy foundation before your body's own wisdom within can flower.
