Chapter 6/5

The DIALECTIC of Good Health

When it comes to our health, the DIALECTIC dictates that we consider more than going on a diet. Nutrition is a necessary, but not sufficient element of good health. Other considerations are essential, among them are: exercise, sleep and rest, sanitation, work, regular checkups, and attitude. We also must avoid certain abusive habits: drugs, including alcohol and tobacco; overeating and eating junk foods; becoming a couch potato; promiscuous sex; unsafe driving practices–we all know most of the rest of the unhealthy habits to be avoided. The maintenance and restoration of good health is many-handed; each item listed above has other hands of its own, and some of those hands have still other hands. Think Like an octopus.
