" I have never seen a person who died of old age. In fact, I do not think anyone has ever died of old age yet." To die of old age would mean that all the organs of the body had worn out proportionally, merely by having been used too long. This is never the case. We invariably die because one vital part has worn out too early in proportiion to the rest of the body.
"There is always one part that wears out first and wrecks the whole human machinery, merely because the other parts cannot function without it."
" The lesson seems to be that as far as man can regulate his life by voluntary actions, he should seek to equalize stress throughout his being."
"The human body- like the tires on a car or the rug on floor-wears longest when it wears evenly."
Balance in here means self-control. We cannot live our lives in balance without self-control.

TEMPERANCE- The Balanced Life
" And the Lord God commanded the man, 'You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.'" Gen. 2:16,17
Temperance is something you need to do in yourself in whatever aspects to have it balanced. It must be in your physical, mental, spiritual and social aspect in life. When one of these aspect is neglected, your life is out of balance and it might be crippled like a table which is lacked one of its legs. So we need to see to it that we have exercised the whole aspects of life.
Here is the explanation: In physical aspect we need to do the right thing like following the good habit of exercise, eat the right kinds of foods, drink enough water regularly and many others.
Aside from these we also need to socialize ourselves like singing with friends or attending some concerts or else our lives would be boring and to some people it will give a bad effects in their emotions.
In mental aspect, we need do planning ahead before doing it so that there will be no regrets in the future for the possible failures. Like when you buy a car or a house, these things are expensive and you need to plan what color, brand, design, and most of all know how much would it cost before purchasing it or you may use a credit which is just affordable to your pocket. In this manner your mental aspect is exercise. Not only that, another thing is make a savings plan or to the Lord like giving goods for the needy, or giving the tithes (ten percent of your net income) or church offering.
Then the spiritual aspect, like going to church or doing God's will. Always do what pleases God. Be in the right path so that you may have a good future. Always ask God's help in doing your daily task and don't forget to talk to Him each day, thank Him to whatever blessings you've got.
In life there is always some rules to follow in order for you to be in success. And there is also some restrictions, like during the time of Adam and Eve, they were restricted from eating the tree of knowledge of good and evil. So do we, we need to restrict ourselves in doing things that will lead us to destruction. Do not eat the foods that you know it's not good for you. Do not go to the evil place just to enjoy yourself or else you might be shot or killed.
Following God's footsteps is the safest way to do.Your life would be easy and happy. Then someday soon you will receive your reward in heaven. For it says, " Happy is the people whose God is the Lord".

"Water" The No Calorie Wonder
Forcing the body to work with limited amounts of fluid is like trying to wash the dinner dishes in a cupful of water. When you don't drink enough water, the body must excrete wastes in a much more concentrated form, causing body odor, bad breath, and unpleasantsmelling urine.
Does It matter what beverages I drink? They all contain water, Don't they?
Our bodies are about 70 percent water and our kidneys process more than 47 gallons of it in a day. Without it we'd look more wrinkled than california raisins!
Water to the body is like oil to a car engine. it's the magic lubricant that makes everything else work. A drink of water is exactly what the body needs to carry out all its life processes.
Do the "no sugar" diet drinks solve these problem?
Diet beverages don't contain sugar, but they present other concerns. Nearly all beverages, sugared or not, contain chemicals that are added to color, flavor, preservation, and other reasons. Some of these may irritate elicate stomach linings, and some may also require the liver and kidneys to detoxify and dispose of them.
Drinking eliminates all of these problems. It has no extra calories to slow down digestion or to add unwanted fat. It has no irritants to stress the sensitive linings of the digestive tract, fewer chemicals to threaten dlicate body machinery, and no caffeine. It' readily available, and it's cheap!
How much water should I drink?
Drink enough to keep the urine pale. The body loses about 10 to 12 cups of water a day through the skin, lungs, urine, and feces. Food provides 2 to 4 cups of water, leaving us about 8 glasses of water to drink.
Get into the habit of drinking water liberally. Drink on arising, in mid morning, and midafternoon. A drink of water is like an internalshower.
Water is the perfect beverage, and one of life's greatest blessings.
