Welcome, Arthur, to the program. SPEAKER A Thank you. SPEAKER B Now, Arthur, you're here at Centre for Health and I believe you're in the training school here, is that correct? SPEAKER A Yeah, is that correct? I am here in the school. I got here to receive some healthy training and also some Bible studies. SPEAKER B You're doing some Bible training as well as health training together in the same place. Interesting. Where are you from originally? SPEAKER A I'm from Brazil. SPEAKER B All the way from Brazil? SPEAKER A Yes. SPEAKER B So how did you find out about the school here? SPEAKER A Because I'm living in Tunisia. I'm taking part of a project that's connected with one of the leaders here, and they do some training. So whatever you're doing in these countries around the world, we can serve people better. We can help people to find a better way of living, like a better health way of living. And also, for myself, I'm enjoying too much here. I'm getting healthier here, actually. SPEAKER B Okay. SPEAKER A Yes. I have a little problem in my knees and I need to lose weight because of that. And since I got here, I think I lost some pounds. SPEAKER B Okay, so you've noticed a difference. What kind of things are you learning about here that's helping you? SPEAKER A We are learning about the benefits of living, the nature, like close to trees and fresh air, like having a balanced diet, not overeating, like eating what is sufficient for your body, exercising the eight natural remedies of life. We're learning also the benefits of charcoal. Yeah. How we can use charcoal for medicine. So preventive medicine, all good stuff. Garlic, all these herbs that we have in nature. So how can we use them? And to prevent a lot of disease, actually, with charcoal, we can do many, many things you can use externally and internally, and it helps even your kidneys. I didn't know about that. If you put externally, it can extract the charcoal is so strong that it can extract some toxins, even from outside. When we use your skin to take the toxins of our kidney, like wonderful stuff like that, we are learning. And we have healthy food here also. It's all vegan and they know how to cook really delicious food. SPEAKER B Oh, you're finding it tasty? SPEAKER A Yes, it's really delicious. And you don't find any lack of any supplements, like any protein, anything? Like all vitamins, all balanced. And of course, because the food is so good, sometimes I'm tempted to eat too much. But I'm getting better here. I'm losing weight, as I told you. Yeah. I think if you want to get a good health, I think this place is a good place. SPEAKER B Yeah. Okay. So tell me, is it different how you're eating here? Is that different to how you were eating back in Brazil? SPEAKER A Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, normally in my house, like, for example, we use a lot of oil, we fried a lot of things, and it's not healthy. Maybe we use a little bit too much spices. The bread. The bread here is amazing. I don't know how do they do it, but they don't use biological liver. SPEAKER B Yeast? SPEAKER A Yeah, yeast. SPEAKER B Sorry, what you mean leaven? SPEAKER A Yes, they don't use yeast. I don't know how they do, but it's whole wheat bread and they use this natural is it like a culture that they use? I don't know, but it's not biological. It's like from the fruits. I don't know how they do. SPEAKER B Okay, but obviously you're enjoying it. SPEAKER A Yeah, it's so good. We have to learn actually going to learn this and how to cook the bread and everything. So we can do at home also, but at home we don't do that. It's really helpful when you learn to bake a good bread. SPEAKER B Wow. So you're learning such a larger variety of practical things that are helpful in your health. So can you share maybe? Is there a health principle that you've adopted that's one of your favorites that you really enjoy? SPEAKER A Well, the health principle I like is like the principle that everything's together connected. Your brain is connected with your organs. So everything that you eat affects your brain. So it will affect eventually your studies, your religion, like the way you connect. I believe in God, I pray, and when I take care of my healthiness better, my brain works faster, so I feel more connection with God and I can study and learn better. When you sleep well, also, sometimes you don't sleep well, you eat too much, your brain gets a bit tired, so you get headache a bit. So you cannot concentrate for many things. And especially when you pray, you get distracted so much. Yes, that's another principle. So it's Holistic way of living. So you connect everything. You connect your food with your study, spiritual and physical, all those different elements are all connected. SPEAKER B Yeah. And that's interesting. You're mentioning that you're finding it's having benefits for your spiritual life. SPEAKER A Yes, for sure. SPEAKER B You've noticed that while you've been here? SPEAKER A Yes, for sure. I woke up more with more energy. So I can wake up and pray and talk with God. Not that sleepy. SPEAKER B Yes. SPEAKER A And I'm not reading my Bible. I can concentrate more. And when I walk also through the trees here, that this beautiful environment you can also feel, can hear the voice of God more clearly. That's not so much noisy. So you can see the beauty of the creation of God and how the law of God is in everything and how he gave us such a blessing with herbs and trees that things that heal us is good for our health. Yes, it's amazing. SPEAKER B Yeah. Wow. So you've gotten so many good benefits from all of this experience. Now tell me if you are going to say you meet someone who is talking about their lifestyle and they're thinking that they want to improve it in some ways, what would you say to them? How would you recommend they go about starting to improve their lifestyle? SPEAKER A Well, I think it depends. I would try to know the person better and know what their needs. But if you need to summarize in short sentence, I would say that maybe preventing stuff like take care of the things you eat for sure, because you are what you eat and try to live closer to the nature, I would say, okay, the environment is really important. So the things we have in big cities today, it's not so good for your health in many ways. SPEAKER B So go to a place where they can spend more time in a natural environment surroundings, and that will be a benefit to them. SPEAKER A Yes, of course. Take care with your food. SPEAKER B Yes. SPEAKER A Because we will affect in every other aspect of your life. SPEAKER B Yes. It has a powerful influence, doesn't it? Wow. Well, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us here. SPEAKER A Pleasure. SPEAKER B It's always inspiring to hear how people have benefited from the wonderful healthy living principles, which, as you explained so well, god has given us out of his love for us.
