Dr. Ofer Zur, on health:


We are constantly bombarded with information on how to eat healthily, exercise correctly, avoid stress, and most importantly defy aging.

We see health and happiness marketed on billboards and buses, on the covers of magazines, in pop-up ads on our computer, in endless TV ads from pharmaceutical companies, and with the preponderance of "longevity" clinics, products, and health resorts.

We are militantly challenged to "defy aging", conditioned to "want" health, to seek it, to perfect it. But what, exactly, is health and what is the nature of wellness?

Our view of healthy living:
Health is cultivating that which is best in us in order to live life joyfully, intentionally, morally, and well. Healthy life often involves connections to other people, personal meaning, and thoughtful attention to one's body, mind, and spirit, as well as to one's community and the world. It requires making choices that support our optimal well being throughout each phase of life and through our attitude towards death and dying.

Healthy living relates to finding balance in our lives between:

    *     high speed and low speed
    *     acceleration and stillness
    *     acceptance of what "is" and desire to change, transform, and transcend
    *     watching online trading and watching sunsets
    *     reading blogs and e-mails and reading novels, poetry, or sacred texts
    *     attending to everyday, mundane 'stuff' and attending to spiritual matters
    *     attending to our own individual needs and to community or world needs
    *     spending time with people and embracing solitude
    *     engaging in virtual and face to face communication
    *     surfing the Internet and surfing the Inner-net
