Proper nutrition, exercise and relaxation are recognized as vital ingredients for a long and healthy life. But there is a fourth ingredient that largely has been overlooked. This fourth factor is love, which can add as much to one's energy level and to one's longevity as any of the other factors. In fact, biblical accounts indicate that love energy potentially can add hundreds of years to one's life - yet this comparatively important factor has not been studied scientifically to the same extent as the other three factors.

Even though most of us do not see this love energy readily, this does not mean it does not exist or does not have great impact. Take for example a person who eats nothing but junk food, smokes, doesn't exercise, drinks beer and sports a pot-belly. Let him fall in love, and suddenly he has as much energy as a person who lives on energy food and exercises daily. Suddenly he can work day and night. What is the mechanism for this enormous flow of energy and where does it come from? How can we harness it and use it at will? These questions are especially important in the health fields, because this energy might also be the healing energy, or the life force itself.
