The NEWSTART Lifestyle Secret: 8 Ancient Laws for a Longer, Happier Life
In a world that is constantly agitated, where people are running “to and fro” and often being busy about nothing, it is easy to lose sight of what truly matters. We live in crowded cities where automobiles, diesel generators, and industrial activities constantly contaminate our atmosphere. We face a global crisis of obesity and its associated health demise, such as heart attacks and arthritis. But what if the secret to a healthy, happy, and productive life wasn’t found in a pill or an expensive medical procedure, but in eight simple, free laws given by the Creator Himself?
At NEWSTART Lifestyle, we promote a health and lifestyle reform based on these ancient gems. Scientifically backed by research—such as Dr. Breslow’s nine-year study of over 7,000 people—these principles have been shown to prolong life expectancy by an average of 11 years.
“NEWSTART” is more than just a name; it is an acronym that encapsulates the essentials of living life to its fullest. Let’s explore these eight health laws that offer everyone a chance at a “new start”.
N – Nutrition: The Manufacturer’s Specification
Just as a manufacturer gives detailed specifications for their products to ensure maximum usage and enjoyment, the Creator provided specifications for the maintenance of the human body. Nutrition is the primary building block of health.
The Creator told the first humans what to eat to optimize their performance and later provided comprehensive listings of what best replenishes the body. Many modern sicknesses and diseases could be avoided if we simply listened to this infinite voice of wisdom in our choice of nutrition. Scientific research confirms that simple habits, such as eating a good breakfast and avoiding snacking, significantly contribute to longevity.
E – Exercise: Vitality for Mind and Body
Lack of exercise is a major player in the quick deterioration of our physical and mental health. The Creator knew that humans must exercise both mind and body to keep them in an excellent state. Even in the perfection of Eden, our first parents were given the task of caring for the garden to keep their faculties exercised.
Today, intemperate use of technology and sedentary habits have led many to a life of idleness. To lead a prosperous life, we must engage in wholesome indoor and outdoor activities. This includes not just physical movement, but mental exercise like meditating on the Savior’s word and participating in community outreach.
W – Water: The Essence of Life
Water is so fundamental that our bodies are composed of approximately 70% of it. It is required by every internal and external organ to function adequately; without it, our bodies fail.
Because we lose water constantly—even while sleeping, breathing, and sweating—we must replenish it daily. To avoid putting unnecessary stress on your kidneys, follow these “W” guidelines:
- Drink at least eight glasses (two liters) of water daily.
- Start and end your day right: Drink a glass when you wake up and before you go to bed.
- Watch the temperature: Avoid ice-cold water, as your body wastes energy warming it up for absorption.
- Be consistent: Carry a water can with you at all times.
S – Sunlight: Nature’s Energy Source
Sunlight is one of the Creator’s most cherished and free blessings, available to rich and poor alike. Just as plants use sunlight for photosynthesis to create food, humans require daily sunlight for maximum vitality.
The early morning sun is a vital source of Vitamin D, which is essential for:
- Bone and tooth health.
- Supporting the immune system.
- Protecting against brain aging and dementia.
- Aiding in weight loss and fighting cancer.
T – Temperance: The Key to Character
Temperance is the complete avoidance of all harmful substances (like tobacco and alcohol) and the moderate, judicious use of things that are good for us. Even a good thing, when overdone, can become a force of evil.
Living temperately is a lifestyle choice that builds an excellent character. It helps us move away from gluttonous habits and the “rat race” for wealth, fame, and power. By practicing moderation in our careers, relationships, and finances, we can live to our greatest potential under the guidance of our Creator.
A – Air: The Breath of Life
The human body requires an average of 3,000 cubic feet of fresh air every hour. In our urbanized world, we are often short-changed of clean, crisp air. Deep inspirations of pure air fill the lungs with oxygen and purify the blood, imparting a life-giving current to every part of the body.
When we fail to maximize our breathing, waste and poisonous contents are retained in the blood, leading to a clouded brain, confused thoughts, and a whole system susceptible to disease. Good respiration soothes the nerves, stimulates the appetite, and induces refreshing sleep.
R – Rest: The Regenerative Force
Many people overlook the simple necessity of rest. However, regularity in sleep is essential because our body rebuilds and recuperates during these periods. We must avoid the danger of laboring to the point of exhaustion.
To enhance your rest:
- Avoid multi-tasking, which leads to weariness and poor output.
- Keep evenings light: Avoid heavy meals immediately before bed, as they cause snoring and nightmares.
- Create a sanctuary: Ensure your room is well-ventilated, dark, and quiet.
- Avoid stimulants: Say no to caffeine (energy drinks or coffee) and nicotine before bed.
Spiritual rest is equally important. The Sabbath is an institution for man’s benefit, allowing heaven to touch and bless the souls of men while we rest from our labors.
T – Trust: The Seal of the Lifestyle
The final “T” stands for Trust in the Creator. Every other factor in the NEWSTART lifestyle depends on this, as it is the seal that ensures the blessings of the other seven laws. Submission of our will and appetite to the One who knows the future is our only hope for a truly fulfilled life.
Nature itself is an intelligent design crafted by a loving Creator who is waiting to bless humanity. When we seek the things of the Creator first, good health and prosperity will surely follow.
