Our health is like a wheel, carrying us along the journey of life.And like a wheel needing its spokes, our health need six basic elements in order for it to flow smoothly, hence springing to life the concept of WAFERS...
Guided by our belief that the human body is created as a great natural healing machine and that the attainment and maintenance of optimal health through the WAFERS lifestyle is within everyone's reach.

Water - We drink water every day, to quench our thirst and to cool our body. Yet this same water carries most sickness and diseases. Water, being the most important life-sustaining element after oxygen, is vital in transporting nutrients, regulating our body temperature and eliminating wastes from the body. Since it is pure water that our body needs, the ideal drinking water is none other than distilled drinking water. After all, pure water is one of the greatest health gifts we can give ourselves.
Air - It is a fact that we need plenty of oxygen for survival, healing, and health. It is the most important life-sustaining element. Four to six minutes without it would spell death. While it is important for us to take measures to consciously cut down global pollution, we must also take pro-active measures to improve the quality of air that we breathe daily. To ensure a consistent supply of fresh air, we encourage the use of safe and reliable air purifiers. In addition to fresh air, we also emphasize the importance of developing proper techniques in breathing.
Food - We advocate proper nutrition, efficient assimilation and sufficient elimination. It is not how much you eat but how well you eat. Modern day over-processed and overly-refined food has rendered our daily meals far from what they should be: our medicine! Instead, our food has become a sure cause of diseases and ultimately death for many. Yes! Whether we are conscious or not, we are aging and killing ourselves before our time. The benefit of food is not in its abundance or taste but its nutritional quality. Ultimately, we are what we eat.
Exercise - Appropriate exercise is vital to our well-being. Since life itself is motion, the more we move, the more alive we become. Exercise effectively promotes elimination of wastes and increases out intake of fresh air and oxygen.
Rest - We spend one-third of our life sleeping. Sleep has tremendous recuperative power. In sleep, the body cleanses, repairs, re-energize and heals itself. Yet today, we are so busy that we are starved of sleep. Rest and sleep is every bit as essential to life as water, air, proper nutrition and exercise.
Sunshine - Being in the tropics, our primary concern is not lack of sunshine but excessive exposure to sunlight. More importantly, in our health philosophy, sunshine refers to the radiating joy and happiness from within. We are what we think and believe we are. In addition to positive mental self-affirmation, we encourage all to pursue greater spiritual and community life, based on our holistic health concept.
