The five pillars of wellness are:
- Spirituality
- Mindset
- Nutrition
- Lifestyle
- Environment
Spirituality
God’s perfection- Acknowledge that God created a perfect model in man. Branded in His image and likeness. The body is a perfect system, fully tested before release. It knows what to do, when to do it, and how to do it—until our earthly behaviour interferes, leading to illness.
- Forgiveness
Forgiveness allows the body to function optimally. The immune system is weakened by unforgiveness.
Forgiveness = Wellness
Unforgiveness = Illness
- Mindset
Optimism- Positive Self-Image – You are God’s chosen.
Maintain Your Body Like a car: Just as you service your car regularly, do the same for your spiritual vehicle—your body.
Get a comprehensive medical check-up twice a year
Just as you use high-quality fuel (high-octane petrol) for your car, nourish your body with high-quality food.
- Meditation
Calms the mind and spirit. Relieves stress. Neutralises harmful chemicals in the body. Aligns your day positively.
- Nutrition
Stay Close to God’s Creation in Nature. The further you stray from nature, the sicker you become—until nature says, “Return to Sender.”
Fresh fruit, herbs, and vegetables—especially seasonal ones—are God’s gift for nutrition and healing. These are high-quality fuel and lubricants for the body.
Drink spring water stored in natural clay pots. Avoid plastic.
Minimise animal protein.
Increase plant protein.
“If God (Nature) did not make it, do not take it.”
Avoid chemicals in agriculture and food:
Say NO to chemical seasoning cubes (MSG, GMOs).
MSG (Maggi, Knorr, etc.) = “Widow Maker”.
Choose natural, whole foods—abundant in the Garden of Eden.
- Lifestyle
Sleep: Sleep is non-negotiable. The body’s maintenance, repair, restoration, rejuvenation, and renewal all occur during sleep. Sleep resets memory and brain function, rebalances hormones, and aids muscle recovery. Sleep is your most powerful anti-ageing tool. Align your sleep with nature’s rhythm.
- Fitness
Daily: 30 minutes of movement. Aerobic exercise, Tai Chi, and yoga are beneficial. Strength training is essential for men. The body is designed for movement and activity. Avoid “Sitting Disease” – prolonged sitting negates the benefits of exercise. Car tyres vs. legs – Just as tyre strength is crucial for your car, your legs are even more precious. Strengthen them. Movement, sports, and fitness are high-quality lubricants for the joints.
- Sexual Health
Intimacy, intercourse, and ejaculation are vital for men’s overall well-being. Frequent intercourse and ejaculation support prostate health, as well as physical and psychological well-being.
- Environment
The Earth is a perfect system, fully tested and branded before being given to man as a habitat.Everything needed for our brief earthly journey has been provided.
Air – Fresh outdoor air is essential.
Water – Natural spring water is key to wellness.
Sunlight – The source of life for plants and humans.
Regulates sleep, immunity, circadian rhythm, and memory longevity.
Being in Nature – Brings peace, relaxation, wellness, and healing.
Grounding – Walking barefoot on natural surfaces: Reduces pain and inflammation. Improves sleep. Enhances overall well-being.
