A robust and healthy mind is essential. Just as the body should be tenderly taken care of, given the correct, healthy foods, and exercised daily… so the mind, too, must be operated with care and order. The mind and the body have a close relationship with each other. When one is distorted and broken… it often influences the other. A languid and indifferent mind easily allows for a body that indolently sits around. Additionally, a body deficient in good nutrients and decent exercise… can easily influence the mind to be less alert, joyous, and caring. It’s a close partnership… and not enough people deeply realize that. Interestingly, just having a healthy body does not ensure that the mind (involved with that body) will be concomitantly healthy and orderly. There are many unbalanced, uncaring, mentally disturbed people with excellent bodies.
