Physical Well Being - Nutrition

"The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." --Baha'u'llah

As discussed in my previous post (part 3) - based on the medicine wheel, a human being is made up of four parts: the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. The whole is always greater than the sum of the parts. Each of the parts are fully integrated to make up the whole human being. If one part is not "working" properly, then the other parts will be adversely affected. To fully realize the benefits of prayer and meditation one must pay attention to the physical part of their being.

One thing that is of utmost importance to our physical well being is nutrition. The B vitamins are crucial to our mental well being. So we should make sure that we are not deficient in our B vitamin intake. It is always better to ingest nutrients from natural sources such as foods, however in this day and age it is not always possible to get all that our body needs from foods. Therefore we need to take supplements. Also, the B vitamins must be balanced according to the natural way (to much of one B vitamin can cause a deficiency in another B vitamin). If one is going to use supplements - look for the words "from natural sources" printed on the label. This will ensure that you are getting the proper balance. You can use soy lecithin and brewer's yeast to meet all your B vitamin needs on a daily basis. Latest HEALTH NEWS.
