Timeless Secrets for living well

Good health is a matter of choice.
Only plain, wholesome food should be eaten.
Overeating, intoxicants, and stimulants avoid.
Drink plenty of water...nature's remedy.

Have plenty of fresh air in the bedroom.
Eight to nine hours of sleep every night.
Always breathe deeply in the open air.
Look to the cleanliness of body and mind.
Take regular outdoor exercise.
Heed sanitation, sobriety and safety first.

Look upon life with faith, hope and good cheer, and keep the mind and heart free from hatred, jealousy and revenge.

I think this should still apply for today. Although, I may have a problem finding the "fresh" air.

I got fresh air...the 8-9 hour of sleep that's a toughy :)

It's amazing how such knowledge from 1918 can still be applicable today.

Ok, let's just leave it in pure air, is that easier?
