I’ll get into details with links to studies in another post or perhaps in a free ebook that I’ll post a link to. Each one of these affects all of the others. If one is mismanaged, the others will compensate. The body is resilient and there’s is no need to obsess over these. However, if either is mismanaged too much for too long, the others will eventually fail to compensate which will result in “diseases” such as COVIDs/flus, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, literally every chronic illness. In such cases, it is absolutely important to (with minimal stress) obsess over all of these.
These are The Five Things:
-
Stage IV REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, the deep and restorative phase of sleep.
-
Inputs. This includes what you eat and don’t eat including chemical residues. It also includes regular and proper fasting and everything you inhale and absorb through your skin—almost all “skincare” and bathing products are poisonous—and mucous membranes like your eyes and in your mouth. Of course, this includes all drugs including pills and injections. Almost all of the food in the grocery store is poisonous. The only healthy food comes from organically managed farms, pasture-raised/grass-fed livestock, the wilderness, and the ocean. The healthy food you eat should be as raw as possible. Most seed oils, even organically produced ones, are poisonous when ingested especially after high temp cooking (like deep frying) but some are beneficial internally and topically. Fruit oils such as olive oil and avocado oil are best for cooking, if you must cook. If you must eat grains, they should be whole, organically grown, and sprouted.
-
Radiation. Direct sunlight exposure is critical for proper immune function. This is technically an input but so very important on its own. Microwaves, X-rays, and gamma rays are harmful. Some radio waves can be harmful, too. So is some nuclear radiation.
-
Stress. While long-term stress causes immunodeficiency and thus “diseases”, short-term stress can be protective as it prepares us to deal with challenges, mitigating long term stress.
-
High intensity interval training and/or strength training. It should hurt (but not injure) and you should push through it. No pain, no gain.
That’s it. As mentioned, I’ll go into detail with citations and links (or perhaps a free ebook) on a future date.
There is a sort of “prerequisite” that greatly enhances healing and disease prevention primarily via stress mitigation but also by providing a sense of purpose or meaning which causes one to thrive maximally:
Be your spirit conscience and not your flesh.

Now go and do the things.
Edit: Thanks for sticky, mods! Thou art gods. :)
Also, minor edit for clarity on seed oils (much more detail to follow) and added emphasis regarding the body’s resilience.
Edit 2: Wow the shillbots (with alts?) with random/obvious bot names are out in full force! Notice they offer nothing in their pseudo-rebuttals? Still, all feedback is greatly appreciated! As mentioned, I’ll provide much greater detail including links to rigorous scientific studies in a future post.
I think diet is on a spectrum. At one end you have closer to what OP is describing, organic whole foods, grass fed beef, etc. On the other end you have highly processed, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, chemical stabilizers and preservatives.
Our bodies can deal with these "poisons", but it all comes down to the dosage. The closer you can get to the ideal the better, but then our bodies can handle and clean up some of the less ideal foods.
It think if you're able to clean up your diet enough to get to that tipping point of no longer overloading your body with the junk, then you'll notice a big difference. But it doesn't have to be all or nothing.
Fun little observation; for both myself and other people that I know that are "awake", it almost always started with diet. Learning about how BS the food pyramid is, and how much health is linked to diet, red pilled a lot of people. It's something you can easily test out yourself and see how you were lied to.
But I hear you, I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford good, or at least better, foods. It is a real shame that the cheapest most affordable foods are also the worst for you. I do wish I could afford a house with some land, it's a dream of mine to have my own garden where I can grow my own food, and maybe some chickens too, but right now that's out of my price range. Good luck to you.
I really wish I could afford a house with land too. At this point, I just want a tiny house or cabin in the woods with some room for a garden
