The 9 Visual Rules Of Wellness
Deepak Chopra
On Tuesday, Oct 19, on a beautiful autumn NYC evening at the Steelcase showroom overlooking Central Park, Nurture and Steelcase hosted a fascinating event that may come to redefine how human beings approach their health and wellness in the future.
  
Deepak Chopra and Alexander Tsiaras recently launched their global wellness initiative, "The 9 Visual Rules of Wellness", and they used the event as publicity for their campaign. They have created 9 exceedingly simple rules, designed to help humans live healthier and more fulfilling lives.

What are the  9 Visual Rules of Wellness?  In a nutshell:
1. Baseline your health
2. Define your wellness mission
3. Develop and maintain nutritional balance
4. Get aerobic and anerobic exercise
5. Never smoke.  Quit now if you do.
6. Take a moderate approach
7. Make sleep a priority
8. Manage your stress
9. Embrace Joy

The best part is that through Deepak and Alexander's research, we can take control and change the path of potential destruction, and, within just a few months, add years back to our lives.

The event was well attended by a veritable who's who in today's media. ABC News, CBS, Fox, Parade, they all had
representatives there to learn about this tremendous effort. In attendance along with these media outlets were high profile companies such as Quest Diagnostics, GE, Frito Lay (yes... Frito Lay wanting to support wellness - and they actually have a legitimate plan on how) who believe in Deepak and Alexander's mission.
 
These rules seem pretty obvious, but they can be difficult to follow. Check out www.thevisualmd.com or the Nurture Blog to learn more.
