NEWSTART Lifestyle Program

09/02/2009
NEWSTART is a lifestyle program which incorporates the following principles to restore your health:

Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunshine, Temperance, Air, Rest, Trust in Divine Power.
Nutrition
Proper nutrition is the foundation of good health and recovery. We were designed to get peak performance from the best foods which God planted a garden full of.
Exercise
Action is a law of life. Muscle tone and strength are lost without exertion, but exercise improves the health of body, mind, and spirit multiplying vitality and health. Active people are more alert, energetic, fun, caring, and alive! Activity strengthens the body to fight disease.
Water
 Because the body is 70% water, keeping well hydrated is essential. Water gives shape and form to cells, lubricates joints and other areas, regulates the body temperature, and cushions certain body organs.  It's essential in weight management and also in therapy.
Sunshine
The sun is the established energy source ordained by God to sustain the cycle of life for plants and animals. Sunlight is supremely important for the body's metabolism and hormonal balance.
Temperance
Using good things moderately and avoiding the bad is obviously wise, yet often hard to practice. Temperance can be neither bought nor earned, but is rather an important gift of God, a "fruit of the Spirit" (Galatians 5:22, 23). Moderation in all things is a thread woven throughout the fabric of NEWSTART® Lifestyle programs.
Air
The body's most essential resource is air. More important than food or water, proper breathing and pure air are fundamental to good health. Opening the windows in your environment on a daily basis is good for getting rid of "bad air" that causes harm to your health. Plants in your environment enrich the air with oxygen and  absorbs carbon dioxide, and some even remove toxic pollutants from the air we brethe.
Rest
Restoration requires rest because sleep allows the body to renew itself.  Many types of rest are important for health, but the sweetest rest follows labor. Rest also aids in the healing process.  Infants will sleep from 16-20 hours, children should from 10-12 hours, and adults should  7-8 hours.
Trust In Divine Power
Directly linked to physical health (Proverbs 3:5-6), trust in God is a gift leading to right choices. Get acquainted with your Bible. Spend some one on one time with God.
