Seems like a simple method. Grow your own crops and gardens. Trade with or sell products to like minded persons.
Have a strong work ethic. Work outside, teach that to the younger generation, spend activities getting dirty, be around germs. Go to church.
Most of the older Amish ladies are overweight. Once the men retire, they are, as well. They have many of the very same health problems everyone else does, including heart disease. They also shop in Walmart and eat loads of sugar and white flour. At a summer lunch table, we were served plain iceberg lettuce as a salad.
We live amongst them and they are also some of my husband’s
massage clients.

If you have ever been behind an Amish mom at the grocery, as I have, you would know how much junk food they enjoy. And sweets of all sorts.
But, it’s true, they are a little more active than some of us.
