When one has been ill one knows this is in the deepest part of the self.  Everything else loses importance when we feel sick.  It doesn’t matter how beautiful our home is, our car, or any other 

posession

 if we can’t enjoy it because we are riddled with pain.  The most important thing we have, then, is our health and everything else comes in 

on

 second place.  Taking care of our body is a life project.  We have to be always attentive to our bodies, 

it’s needs

, it’s symptoms.  It’s our basic instrument for enjoyment and action in the world, so we have to keep it well and healthy.  There are many ways to do this, but the most important ones to do every day are: eating healthy food at least 5 times a day; 

excersising

 at least half an hour a day; good sleep, at least 8 hours a night; drinking clean water, at least a liter and a half a day.  With these well known simple 

habits

 we are well on our way to good health.
