Quote: Welcome to The Seven Pillars of Health! This book will introduce you to the seven basic pillars of a healthy lifestyle. It is designed to become your road map for health for the rest of your life. This book is different from other health books for several key reasons. First, most other popular health writers are not medical doctors. I am. I have been a medical doctor since 1984 and have been board certified in family practice since 1987. I treat patients and operate a thriving medical practice in Orlando, Florida. If you come to my medical office during the week you will see me in blue surgical scrubs with a stethoscope draped around my neck. I will be reviewing patients’ files and meeting with patients. I dedicate my life to helping people become healthy. Living a healthy life is not just theory and research for me; it’s fact. Because I have made my career as a medical doctor, the advice I give in this book is not just something I picked up from the Internet or from other medical professionals. These are not the seven “fads” of health or the seven “theories” of health, but the seven pillars of health. Backed up by medical research and my actual experiences with real problems and real people that span over two decades of practice, these seven pillars have contributed health and freedom to thousands of people For the past ten years The Seven Pillars of Health has been the basis of my medical practice and my ministry. You see, Proverbs 9:1 tells us, “Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars.” When I read this verse over ten years ago, it became the inspiration for the message you now hold in your hands. Since that time, I have taught these seven pillars to some of the largest ministries in the United States as well as in dozens of churches. Many hundreds of people have told me of major improvements in their health just from attending the one- or twoday seminars. This book includes information from those seminars, plus much more, and presents a user-friendly, easy-to-read, positive handbook on health. Laying the Foundation In laying the groundwork to help you obtain a higher level of health, I have implemented a couple of teaching tools. At the end of each day is a section I call “Building Blocks to a Healthy Life.” In these sections are the following features: • Points to Ponder. This summary highlights the principles for that particular day’s material. It is something for you to reflect on throughout your day. • Action Step. What we read stays with us longer when we apply what we’ve learned. Each day you will be able to implement some small change to help you live in divine health. Making small changes every day will make applying the principles easier. Far from being a “don’t, can’t, shouldn’t” book, The Seven Pillars of Health is designed to liberate you and help you make choices that bring you freedom in every area of your life. To withstand the storms of life— diseases, attacks, and injuries—you must build on some fundamental precepts. Those precepts are found in The Seven Pillars of Health and are timeless biblical truths. Some authors write books that may leave you feeling hopeless and as if everything is gloom and doom for you. I will not cajole you, make you feel guilty, or tell you to bear heavy burdens. My purpose is simply to show you how you can become strong, healthy, energetic, diseaseresistant, younger-looking, wiser, smarter, and better looking. Studies now show that we can reduce our risk of deadly diseases such as heart disease by 80 percent or more and cancer by 60 percent or more—simply by leading a healthy life.1 I will give you knowledge about your body and how it operates so you won’t be “destroyed for lack of knowledge,” as an ancient prophet said. It won’t take more work on your part. You will simply exchange old habits for new ones. As just one example, many health books tell readers to avoid coffee as if it were some kind of plague. I don’t say that. Instead I will show you how to have healthy, caffeinated coffee every day, if you choose. I will also show you how to sleep through the night, how to better cope with stress, how to get rid of mental fogginess, and much more. God has given us life to enjoy it. I have written The Seven Pillars of Health to be a handbook for enjoyable living.
