What is 8-Treasures?
 
  NUTRITION: The food we eat makes up who we are. It helps build healthy, vibrant people. A balanced diet provides all essential nutrients for growth and maintenance of the body and a deficiency of these important nutrients will result to disease and at times, premature death.
 
  EXERCISE: It is the elixir of our energy. Regular exercise is not only a preventive measure; it also works to maintain health at its best. It helps lowers blood pressure, strengthens bones, gives you more energy and a sense of well-being. Most of all, it helps prevent many chronic diseases.
 
  WATER: Is the most precious of all liquids; it is an indispensable component to optimal health, for example: 70% of total body weight is water! The gray matter of the brain is 85% water! Blood is 83% water! Water is something which we should not live without.
 
  SUNSHINE: Without sunshine the human race cannot survive. All life on earth depends on the sun and life would cease without it. It supports both plant and animal existence and is a vital ingredient of our environment alongside atmosphere, climate, water, soil, and vegetation.
 
  TEMPERANCE: According to Webster dictionary, temperance is a “moderation in action, thought or feeling.” It teaches us to get rid of everything that is harmful and to use in moderation that which is healthful. Alcohol-drinking, cigarette smokings, the use of caffeine are some habits that a person needs to get rid of in order to live a healthy life.
 
  AIR: The activator of our vitality. According to the American Lung Association’s motto, “Air is a matter of life and breath”. We need high quality, fresh & pure, clean air for health. The life-giving oxygen molecules in fresh air should be unpolluted.
 
  REST: Is the restorer of life. Sleep is a type of rest which is much needed in this modern society; it is important in restoring our energy and in maintaining health. A good 8 hours of sleep is needed to restore our body into its optimum health everyday. A 15 minute “power naps” in the afternoons are a great restorer of brain cells.
 
  TRUST: Belief or faith in a religious setting has been shown to have a significant benefit in order to be healthy. Individuals with strong religious faith report higher levels of life satisfaction, greater personal happiness, and fewer negative psychosocial consequences of traumatic life events. It is then important to place our belief and trust in that which is reliable!
