Created by the Weimar Institute of Health and Education, the acronym NEWSTART^® describes eight principles for maintaining health for body and mind.

	Nutrition - Proper nutrition is the foundation of good health and recovery. The nutrients in good quality food enter the blood and are carried round to feed the organs of the body. This gives us clear minds and energy to do things; the toxins in bad foods however, have the opposite effect!
	Exercise - Action is a law of life. Muscle tone and strength are lost without exertion, but exercise improves the health of body, mind, and spirit multiplying vitality and health.
	Water - Because the body is 70% water, keeping well hydrated and knowing what and when to drink are essential to health.
	Sunlight - The sun is the established energy source ordained by God to sustain the cycle of life for plants and animals; without it, virtually all life would cease to exist. Sunlight is supremely important for the body's metabolism and hormonal balance.
	Temperance - Using good things moderately and avoiding the bad is obviously wise, yet often hard to practice. Temperance can be neither bought nor earned, but is rather an important gift of God, a “fruit of the Spirit” (Galatians 5:22, 23).
	Air - The body's most essential resource is air. More important than food or water, proper breathing and pure air are fundamental to good health.
	Rest - Restoration requires rest because sleep allows the body to renew itself. Many types of rest are important for health, but the sweetest rest follows labour. “Early to bed and early to rise” is a vital NEWSTART® principle, and a healthy lifestyle makes this principle easier to maintain.
	Trust In Divine Power - Directly linked to physical health (Proverbs 3:5-6), trust in God is a gift leading to right choices.
