There are other important factor elements necessary to human life which contribute to our well-being. They are essential to the functional integrity and systemic harmony of the human organism. They are: Pure air, pure water, cleanliness, rest and sleep, body temperature, exercise, sunshine, relaxation, mental and emotional poise, pleasant sur- roundings, creative freedom, self-discipline, and other important factors.

The growth and development of the body takes place by “spurts.” Periods of rapid growth alternate with periods of slow growth. The body seems to take a rest and accu- mulate power for the period of rapid growth. In periods of rapid growth there are new developments to be made, or incomplete ones to be finished and these things cannot be accomplished without an outlay of energy above the ordinary expenditure. In prepara- tion for such work there always precedes a period of comparative rest, as just prior to the onset of and in preparation for puberty at which time the forces of development go forward with a rush.

We may make use of this same principle when the actions of the body falter due to lack of power. If the action of a mill falters from a decrease of water power, the gates are closed for the purpose of accumulating power. Activities are ceased and no power is expended. In cases of impaired health, the closing of all the waste gates, through which vital power is needlessly expended, permits the accumulation of power.
