All dam good points, and totally true, the hard part is for some or most is to do it. Fact !
Kudos, especially here on this forum on your thoughts, even your link is japan, selling which is worth as much as tits on a bore hog, here..
The list u have posted it absolutely true that all should follow for good health, but for most will not, sadly... ! There is a very proven link, between mind and body.
11. to add to ur list.. The serenity prayer despite the religion of the individual.
" God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference." !
Many here have not a clue, reminds me of a spanish/knight /noble? fighting tilting windmills. ;D
Be well,

Exactly! As United States declared war on Japan, Hitler and Germany came forward and stood up for their good friends in Japan...Germany and the Nazi’s ultimately lost the war and this decision under the principle ‘Do what is right not what is convenient.’, was a main contributor to their loss... What does that tell you of the Nazi party and Hitler Kindachi? Morally good or bad?

THE single MOST important one is missing? why is this? More (subtle) brainwashing I suspect
Drink NOTHING but pure WATER, (PROPERLY DISTILLED) for your water intake!
NEVER EVER drink that poisonous "mineral water" pushed in EVERY STORE on EVERY store shelf
nothing BUT nothing IS BETTER THAN PURE distilled water, NOTHING!

I'm sure they busted out the distilling equipment in biblical times to get rid of all those poisonous naturally-occurring minerals, the presence of which due to the water running over poisonous rocks.
Distilled water is bad for life forms, just ask a yeast cell.
