Although most
of my teachings here deal with the mind, it is
important to realize that the mind needs the body
as a support system. Your body and mind work
together to produce power, and if you train one,
and exclude the other, your practices will suffer
for it.
It is not necessary to knock
yourself out by trying to be Superman. The body's
basic requirements are not that great. I'll just
point out a few basics. How far you take any
exercise program is up to you.
1. You need a minimum of twenty
minutes of cardiovascular exercise three times a
week.
2. Try to avoid sugar in the
diet.
3. Limit your intake of red
meat. Large quantities are known to cause
problems.
4. Avoid excess fat. The high
fat, low fiber diet common today is also a common
cause of various types of cancer, as well as
contributing to heart troubles.
5. Some good cardiovascular
excercises are running, swimming, skipping rope,
and bicycling.
These ideas are just basics. If
you find time for any of these things at least
three times a week, and watch what you eat, your
body and mind will be the better for it.
I have more in mind for this
section, and will add it as I can.
