The concepts of Natural Human Design are discussed in this collection of articles by H. Robert Silverstein, M.D.
Prevention
Our current deadly behaviors have lead to knee and hip replacement surgery from crushing overweight, which overweight is also relevant to the development of diabetes/high cholesterol/high blood pressure/heart attack/stroke/bypass surgery/dialysis/gall stones/diverticulitis/cancer of the breast-colon-uterus-prostate and so on. These are, in large part, due to the abuses of diet, smoking, exercise lack, and use of mind altering drinks and drugs and of all which excesses are reasonably preventable.

Psychological/Spiritual Health
It has been wisely said, “In life there is only room for good thoughts, and everything else is strictly business. In business you make up your mind what you’re going to do, do it, and accept the consequences.” Hard work and perseverance is what it is all about, with the willful near total avoidance of anger-fear-hostility-depression-stress.
The mind/body connection to quality of health is explained in this collection of articles written by H. Robert Silverstein, M.D.
Nutritional Instruction
Our dietary goals should be very high fiber and whole foods/low fat with minimally refined or processed foods consisting mostly of whole grains/cooked fresh vegetables/beans and a little bit of anything else. Maintain a “Liv-it,” not a die-t. A little fun always!
