How can I improve my health?

The best way to improve your health is to eat a healthy diet, achieve a healthy level of fitness and a normal weight and never smoke or quit smoking if you do. For many years we have known that the majority of premature deaths in the US are related to lifestyle choices.  

The major culprits are tobacco, poor diet and lack of physical activity in that order. The remainder of deaths related to lifestyle can be attributed to alcohol, infection, toxins, guns, sexually transmitted diseases, motor vehicle accidents and drugs.  

Despite all the gains that we have made in medicine, health ultimately comes down to each and every one of us and the choices that we make.

You can sense, increase, and direct the body’s supply of prana to improve your health - if you have the proper training. Prana is a living force; it has consciousness. It can be built up and consciously controlled. There is a saying in chi kung practice: “The chi follows the yi.” Chi is, as explained earlier, a synonym for universal life force. We don’t have a perfectly equivalent word for yi in English, but it refers to the mind or intent. Thus, the rough translation is: “energy follows thought”; prana goes where you intend it to go.
