Too Much or Not Enough

Health problems like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hardening of the arteries, heart attack and stroke are frequently caused or aggravated by:

Too much salt, not enough potassium

Too much phosphorous, not enough calcium and magnesium

Too much sugar and refined starches, not enough fruits, vegetables, and nuts

Too much sedentary activity, too little exercise

Too much coffee, tea, soda and alcohol, not enough pure water

Too much animal fat in the diet, not enough essential vegetable and dish oils

Too much nicotine and carbon monoxide, not enough fresh air

Too much stress, hustle-bustle and hassle, not enough deep relaxation

Too much anger, bitterness and resentment, not enough forgiveness and tolerance

Too much loneliness, isolation, not enough affection and appreciation

Too much selfishness, not enough sharing and giving

Too much emphasis on pleasure, not enough emphasis on happiness

Too much anxiety, fear and worry, not enough trust and faith
