A Balanced Approach to Wellness!

Natural death has its percentages. In the distant past, the percentages were the same as they are in today’s world. We think that modernity has changed that fact, but it hasn’t. In general people in modern societies live longer, but the causes of decline remain the same. Here are the percentages:

  • Genetics: 40%
  • Nutritional intake (food, water, and empty calories): 20%
  • Mental flexibility: 5%
  • Traumas: 6%
  • Physical fitness: 6%
  • Isolation: 8%
  • Spiritual assistance: 15%

Genetics

Our parents transmit the bulk of our ability to weather aging, or not. They are equally responsible for our genetic percentage. This percentage is large because of our natural design.

Nutritional intake

People have been ingesting empty calories for millennia, but the industries of modern processed foods and non-foods have taken empty calories to a summit. The more empty calories ingested, the sooner death approaches. Modern medicines have managed to wrangle extra years for many people, but the approach towards death has become a painful struggle. (Non-foods include cigarettes and other tobacco products, overconsumption of alcoholic beverages, and overuse of addictive drugs [legal or not]).

Mental flexibility

The ability to take in events that happen throughout one’s life and interpret them in a harmful or neutral way affect longevity and suffering.

Traumas

People cannot control all the traumas that happen to them throughout their lives. They control their interpretation of the traumas.

Physical fitness

In general, being physically fit contributes to longevity. It also contributes to life quality.

Isolation

People are meant to interact with people, with other creatures, and with the natural environment. Isolation shortens longevity by inducing suicide, illness, and mental rigidity.

Spiritual assistance

Connection to spiritually uplifts and buoys people.
