Seven Pillars of Health

I’m a book junkie. I collect them like a fashionista buys clothes. My house has built in shelves and cubby holes, and all of them contain their own pile of books – color coded, I might add. I’ve run out of shelf and cubby space and have resorted to creating piles on the floor of my office.

The book I turn to most often for health guidance is Dr. Don Colbert’s Seven Pillars of Health. If you’re able, I highly recommend adding it to your collection. It’s split into seven weeks of daily readings, each week focusing on a different pillar of health. It’s set up so that you slowly add these habits into your life in a sustainable way. You can find it on Amazon.com here. 

The seven pillars are water, sleep, living food, exercise, managing stress, detox, and supplements. Recently, I spent my morning sipping hot coffee and praying, and I realized that each of the seven pillars of physical health lined up with a spiritual truth that correlates with our health spiritually and emotionally.

I thought it was so insightful, and I’d love to share them with you over the next few weeks.
