Cultural habits and dietary choices are deeply rooted in these societies. Studies have suggested that a diet low in protein and high in carbohydrates can promote longevity. Research from the Salk Institute found that eating within a shorter timeframe daily can result in health benefits, making a lower-carb, higher-protein diet potentially less advantageous compared to a balanced, moderate carbohydrate diet akin to the Okinawan style. Centenarian studies in regions with high numbers of those living past 100, like Okinawa and parts of Italy, emphasize plant-based diets low in protein and sugars, focusing instead on complex carbohydrates from beans and other plants. Many centenarians consume fewer meals daily, often finishing their evening meals before nightfall. Comparative analyses show that older Okinawans typically consume less meat and more vegetables than their American counterparts, contributing to lower instances of cancer and heart disease among them.

Red light therapy isn’t a cure for all diseases, but by optimizing cellular function, supporting the immune system and accelerating the healing process, There are probably no diseases or conditions that it cannot benefit.  Near-infrared light is another form of electromagnetic radiation that is similar to red light in both frequency and its beneficial biological effects. Near-infrared and red light optimize cellular function, supporting the immune system and accelerating the healing process.

To have life on the Earth it is necessary to be exposed continuously to the life-giving rays of the Sun.  If we aren’t exposed to Sun, soon the Earth would be transformed into solid block of ice, where life will cease to exist. It is a Sun or better to say the solar energy which enables life to exist; grass to grow, stimulates herbs and vegetables to flourish, the fruits to ripen, so that man as well as animals may have food to live on. Chromotherapy is a method of treatment that uses the visible spectrum (colors) of electromagnetic radiation to cure diseases. It is a centuries-old concept used successfully over the years to cure various diseases.                Solar ray’s spectrum consists at one end of deep infra-red radiations, and on the other ends of deep ultra-violet radiation. Rainbow is a great example of solar spectrum. It is caused by the passing of white sunlight through mist or raindrops and broken up into the seven visible colors of the solar spectrum, which are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.  The same solar spectrum can be obtained by passing a ray of white sunlight through the refracting surfaces of a glass prism, where it is split up into its components and can be seen as a beautiful band of seven colors if allowed to fall upon a white screen. White sunlight is a combination of seven visible colors as well as other kind of rays which are invisible to the human eye. Each color of the spectrum has a wavelength of its own named the "Angstrom Unit". Sunlight is the total sum of the visible spectrum, and every color vibration is only a part of solar energy...

Chinese call it San Jiao (Chin. 三焦) and consider it an organ. In English is translated as “Triple Burner”. In TCM, Triple Burner is responsible for various functions including dividing the body cavity into different compartments, and properly distributing fluid throughout the body.  The Triple Burner is responsible for the maintenance of the ditches; and it controls all water in the body.  Triple Burner is the sum of systemic connective tissues, which wraps around and supports the various body tissues. TCM classifies triple heater into upper, middle and lower parts according to their functions. The upper part completes the function of the chest viscera, including the heart and lungs; the middle part completes the visceral function of the abdomen above the umbilicus, including the stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and small intestine; and the lower part completes the visceral function of the abdomen and pelvic cavity under the umbilicus, including kidney and bladder.  Triple Burner is membranous shaped. It is one of the six Fu viscera of the human body and is one of twelve meridians. Triple Burner meridian is both a meridian and a triple burner membrane system...

It is considered that the Tao surrounds the universe and transmits different patterns of energy into the universe. The macrocosm communicates with the microcosm, and different patterns might affect and reorder seemingly unrelated events in the outer world. Imagine that destiny has a variety of patterns (chin. 理 li) which can create the  shapes and behaviours, alike genetic repository, or universe's DNA. When expressed in living matter, the universe’s DNA manifests as an organic DNA. Therefore implementation of the Book of Changes about a thing can be like searching individual DNA in order to discover the segment of genetics currently running.  Taoism believes that the visible universe (Chin. 太極 or taiji) is a manifestation of the cosmic mother (Chin. 無極 wuji) and is destined to return to nothingness  (Chin. 無 wu). The universe’s DNA do not absolutely determine the future, because the patterns from the cosmic mother can change the current order and introduce overwhelming forces that usurp destinies.  Each thing in the universe is in a state of inaction (Chin. 无为 wu wei) – which means harmony with the patterns, or do nothing and let things take their own course.
