EIGHT LAWS OF SOUND HEALTH
According to a sage and his saga , sunshine , pure air , exercise , rest , use of potable water and balanced diet , abstemiousness ( abstinence ) and Trust in Divine Power , constitute the eight Natural Laws which govern the human body . People who fall sick have violated in one or more of these eight Natural Laws .
Lack of proper air ( oxygen ) and physical exercise are the causes of overweight ( obesity ) , hypertension ( high blood pressure ) , stroke , heart attacks ( cardiac arrest , heart failure ) , cancers , skin diseases and nervous breakdown ( disorders ) .
One may eat balanced diet , drink good , potable water , and breathe good , pure air , but if the person does not carry out physical exercise from time to time , the blood cannot circulate well in his or her cells , tissues , organs or systems . The results of poor blood circulation are obesity ( overweight ) , hypertension , heart attacks , constipation , headaches , stroke , etc. The human blood is the life of man ( Leviticus 17:14 ) , and the heart pumps the blood round the body . Therefore , if the heart fails to function , death follows instantly . Hence , proper care should be taken to keep the heart in proper working condition .
