To survive in today’s world with a quality life we must have balanced nutrition to provide needed nutrients plus a properly functioning immune response to protect us from what seeks to harm and destroy our health. Add air to provide oxygen essential to breathing and the provision of oxygen plus nourishing clean water to hydrate and lubricate our bodies.

For nutrition we need a balanced diet providing in correct balance and composition the proteins, fats and carbohydrates demanded by our bodies, together with minerals and enzymes. Proper digestion to convert our food into energy is a must.  We also need adequate sleep and moderate exercise to keep our bodies in a condition necessary for carrying on the needed functions of everyday life.

As to quality water and clean air, these you must acquire on your own, but both are readily available at a minimum expense and effort.  Exercise and sleep are personal lifestyle items that can be programmed into almost all lives in adequate amounts, but we seldom respond with adequate amounts of either.

Then there is nutrition wherein most of us know what we should eat and how much, but the great majority fall far short. Nutrition is a basic component of an immune response as your health-shield defense, joined with moderate exercise, adequate sleep and stress management.
