How to keep your spirits strong for many years

Each of us sometimes lacks the strength, activity and vivacity to accomplish all the planned tasks. This is not surprising, it is dictated by our pace of life, nutrition and our useful and not very habits. All this affects our state and activity more than we can imagine.





Paul Bragg, the famous American propagandist of the right way of life, has long noticed this feature. He invented a whole system that helps to preserve vigor for many years of life. The book is titled “How to Live to 120 by Paul Bragg.” Editorial "Site" I've studied it carefully, and now I'm sharing with you the main tips we've learned from it.

If you have a free moment, be sure to read this book yourself. There are many interesting and informative things about nutrition, physical activity and other things that allow you to get the most out of life. Paul Bragg’s advice is simple and understandable, even if you don’t delve into his books. We have identified the 9 most important rules.

1. More sunshine
   Paul Bragg believed that all life on earth depends on the sun. We pay little attention to this fact, but no organism can exist without sunlight. He was convinced that all the troubles are due to the fact that we spend little time in the sun.
   
   
   
   
2. Fresh air.
   Another part of a happy life is fresh air. Without it, a person cannot feel really good. Paul Bragg advised to walk more often, sleep with the windows open and do not go out at night. He recommended breathing slowly and deeply.
   
   
   
   
3. Clean water
   And the closing link of this magnificent trinity, on which human longevity rests. Bragg advised to carefully monitor the quality of water and use it in sufficient quantities.
   
   
   
   
4. The right food
   Bragg paid special attention to the consumed products. He considered unnatural products with various additives, foreign to man. In his opinion, the diet should consist of 60% raw fruits and vegetables. Bragg also offered to give up salt, dairy products, tea, coffee, chocolate and hard drinks. In fact, the list of things he advises to give up is quite extensive. The main criteria for refusing products are unnaturalness, refinement, processing, the presence of preservatives, stimulants, dyes, flavorings and flavor enhancers, growth hormones and other unnatural additives. More natural food in the diet!
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Rejection of food
   According to Bragg, you need to give up not only junk food, but also from time to time to refuse food at all. He said that periodic fasting helps to be cleansed both physically and spiritually. Bragg once said, “Fasting under reasonable supervision or provided with deep knowledge is the safest way to achieve longevity.” Only without bigotry, Bragg recommended sticking to short fasts 24-36 hours a week, one week a quarter.
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. Physical activity
   What's without that, right? Bragg encouraged you to be physically active, exercise and be constantly on the move. The best activity he considered gardening and any other work in the fresh air. Also useful are running, cycling, skiing and swimming. In addition, he repeatedly emphasized the benefits of walking.
   
   
   
   
7. Rest.
   Without a good rest, longevity and activity are simply impossible. In today’s world, we face a lot of stress, so we need a lot of rest. He recommended resting in the fresh air, soaking in the rays of the sun.
   
   
   
   
8. Right posture.
   When you have the right posture, the whole body is normal. According to Bragg, the spine should always be straight, the press tightened, the shoulders diluted, and the head raised.
   
   
   
   
9. Clear mind
   It is necessary to develop not only the body, but also the mind. He repeatedly said that the flesh is stupid and must be controlled by reason. The point is that only the human mind can overcome the bad habits for which the body holds. You need to train willpower, develop yourself and strive for more.
