The Way You Live Every Day!
Here are Eight Major Lifestyle Factors plays an important role in your Every day Life with respect to your health.
1. Nutrition – “Your food is your medicine”
1. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch
like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. Your food should contain
grains, fruits, vegetables and nuts. Eat a nourishing diet which
includes sufficient vitamins and minerals. Chew your food well and eat
slowly. Have a short walk after the meal. Eat at regular time
everyday. This helps your digestion.
2. Do not eat in between meals. It will
ferment the previous undigested food and will make the blood impure.
There should be 5 to 6 hrs gap between meals. Also it clogs the brain.
Your stomach needs rest after digestion. Avoid overeating too.
Overeating will cause indigestion, clogging of brain, and it will make
it difficult to absorb the nutrients in it. Continual taxing of stomach
will weaken your stomach and intestine. Avoid drinking water during
meals.
3. Avoid refined sugar and refined
products like white bread, white rice, and refined noodles and
margarine. Your body needs vitamins and minerals in the whole grains
form for good digestion. This prevents diabetes.
4. Avoid all fried foods. Frying in any
manner, no matter what oil you use, spoils the wholesomeness of the
food, because temperatures up to 600-700 o F. may be
obtained. At these temperatures the unsaturated fats behave as if they
were saturated. Thus fried foods, than unfried foods, increase the
likelihood of developing the hardening of the arteries. Please avoid
chilli and masala, for this could cause ulcers and even make your blood acidic.
5. Avoid processed salt. Use less salts
in your food. Our body cannot use the artificially prepared salt. Take
rock salt (black salt) or sea salt. It contains minerals and trace
elements. Search for it in the supermarkets or in health food stores.
6. It is not good to eat fruits and
vegetables during the same meal. The use of both will often cause
distress, and creates inability to put forth mental effort. It is better
to have the fruits at one meal, and the vegetables at another. Fruits
and vegetables taken at one meal produce acidity. It’s not good food
combination.
7. Acidic condition of the body tissues
is one of the basic causes of many diseases. It is therefore vitally
important that there is a proper ratio between acid and alkaline foods
in the diet. When you keep your body in an alkaline state, you will get
strong resistance against diseases. All meat and animal products are
high acid forming, and should be avoided completely. All nuts, except
for almonds and brazil nuts, are acid forming; and all grains are acid
forming, except buckwheat and millet. These acid forming foods should be
eaten in very limited amounts.
Breakfast
Take milks like soy milk, almond milk,
rice milk, or coconut milk.; Eat soaked almonds, sprouts etc.; For
carbohydrate and fibre eat varieties of recipes from oats, red or
brown rice, and wheat on a daily basis.; For protein eat legumes
(pulses or dhal ). Fruits or vegetables should be eaten. Some nuts and
dried fruits like dates, raisins are good. Your breakfast time should be
between 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. Cast all your cares and sorrows and make your
meal time the best time.
Lunch
Use unpolished rice (red or brown rice)
or wheat. Enjoy salads. Raw foods are good, for they are rich in
enzymes, vitamins and minerals and these qualities are destroyed during
cooking. Eat lot of steamed vegetables like: carrots, beetroot, garlic
(raw), parsley, broccoli, onions, cauliflower, cabbage, spinach,
cucumber, and green leafy vegetables, lettuce, potatoes, green beans,
parsley, radish, and many more.
Evening-Meal
1. Skipping supper is a good option.
Two meals per days are good for health. But, breakfast and lunch should
be healthy. We suggest fruits or vegetable salads or simple vegetable
soups. Also milks like soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, coconut milk,
etc.
2. Supper should be between 6 p.m. and 7
p.m. Have it at least two hours before you sleep. It should be very
light & easily digestible. Your Stomach should be empty before you
go to bed.
2. Exercise“If no Exercise, physical body will eventually lose its strength”
1. Exercise daily. Walking is the best
exercise. Go for walks at least 30 minutes in the morning between 6 to 7
a.m. You will get good fresh air, which is free from pollution during
this time.
2. Of all the exercises, walking is the
best. During walks all your organs works harmoniously. It helps you get
more energy and endurance. Your body will expel impurities through skin
during exercise.
3. Go for walks in a park or to a beach
in the morning and evening where you can get good fresh air. Oxygen is
good for your brain and helps you to get good sleep at night.
4. Exercise stimulates production of
adrenal hormones such as Norepinephrine, which is an antidepressant. HDL
(good cholesterol) is produced as well. Exercise relieves stress and
helps overcome depression.
3. Water - “The most precious of all liquids”
1. Our Water formula: 50ml per kg of body weight per day. For example: 60kg x 50ml = 3000ml = 3 liters of water.
Note: The amount of water need depends on your body weight.
Note: The amount of water need depends on your body weight.
2. Drink stomach full of water as soon
as you get up from the bed. This will help to expel impurities in your
body. Drink water half an hour before meal, and at least one hour after
your meal time. In between your meals you may drink plenty of water.
Chew the food well, this avoids drinking water during meal. Drinking
water during meals, hinders digestion. Its dilutes all the digestive
juices secreted in the stomach. It burdens the stomach.
4. Sunlight- “Deepens the sense of well-being”
1. Go in the sun for 15-20 minutes
daily (during exercise), when the air is cool. Before 10 a.m. and after
3 p.m. is the best time to get good sunlight.
2. Researchers have discovered that
vitamin D plays a crucial role in activating the immune system's ability
to recognize and fight pathogens. The body produces vitamin D upon
exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D from fish liver oil damages the heart.
3. Sunlight helps to overcome depression
and corrects Hormone Imbalance. Let sunshine enter into your house.
Sunlight kills germs and mould and promotes a clean environment.
5. Temperance
“A Successful Person will practices strict self-control”
“A Successful Person will practices strict self-control”
1. Avoid chocolates, high sugar sweets
and ice creams. This will aggravate digestion problem. They contains
harmful chemicals and flavours. The ingredients used therein—dairy milk,
refined sugar, trans-fat, cocoa, and other chemicals— are unhealthy.
They are very hard to digest and addictive in nature. Alternatives:
carob and home made healthy sweets. (Make healthy sweets and desserts,
fruit smoothies, cakes at home, without dairy milk and refined sugar).
Avoid taking refined sugar in any form. It suppresses your immune
system. Alternatives: jaggery, palm jaggery, honey, fruits like dates,
raisins, etc.
2. Do not drink sodas, coffee, tea or
any caffeine containing drinks. Alternatives: herbal teas, cereal
coffees, plain lemon water, etc. Avoid consuming mass-manufactured food
products. It contains harmful chemicals in the form of preservatives
and artificial flavours. Coffee and tea contains caffeine. It increases
stress hormone, and hardens the arteries.
3. Avoid dairy milk and all milk products. During pasteurization all valuable enzymes are destroyed, likeLactase for the assimilation of lactose; Galactase for the assimilation of galactose; Phosphatase
for the assimilation of calcium. There is risk of allergies, diabetes I
& II, kidney stones, acne, heart disease, osteoporosis, multiple
sclerosis, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis, breast cancer, etc. Dairy
products have more contamination than of any other food. Alternatives
for dairy milk are: soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, coconut milk, etc.
4. Smoking: Tobacco contains over 4,000
harmful chemicals, 37 of which are known to cause cancer. There are at
least 300 known poisons in tobacco smoke including : Nicotine, Arsenic,
Radon, Cyanide, Phenol, DDT, Asbestos, Benzene, Carbon monoxide and
Formaldehyde.
5. Alcohol: Liquor in any form affects
the frontal lobe of the brain, which is the seat of Reasoning power,
Memory and Judgment. Most highway deaths occur due to the use of
alcohol. It affects the lungs, oesophagus, stomach, liver, Kidney,
breast and rectum. Brain cells die at an increased rate. Get help to overcome smoking and alcohol addiction. Habituate personnel hygiene.
6. Avoid meat and all animal products.
Animal products contains trans-fat. Trans-fats are like grease that
clogs the arteries, and your body cannot use it. Digestion time for
flesh food is 17-72 hrs. During this process it decays inside your body
and produces toxins in the body which later on lead to diseases. It does
not give strength, as commonly believed. Instead it makes us weak.
6. Air – “Without air you will die in few minutes”
Inhaling good air improves the brain’s
ability to function. It also gives clarity to mind. Avoid inhaling
polluted and poisonous air. Develop the habit of deep breathing. Many
people only breathe at the top of their lungs. Do not just fill the top
of your chest. For good blood, you need to breathe properly.
7. Rest – “Rejuvenates the body”
1. Sleep, nature's sweet restorer,
invigorates the weary body and prepares it for the next day's duties.
Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
2. Go to bed between 9 and 9:30 pm. This is good because Melatonin and Serotonin are produced more before midnight. Both hormones rejuvenate the whole body. Benefits of good sleep:
Rebuilds the cells of your body; Refreshes the brain; Chases away
fatigue; Enhances the cleansing process, and promotes healing; Growth
hormones are released; Reinforces your character structure; Emotional
and physiological adjustments takes place.
3. We need weekly rest for mental
rejuvenation. The relatively new science of chronobiology has uncovered
some totally unexpected facts about living things, as Susan Perry and
Jim Dawson report in their book “The Secrets Our Body Clock Reveal”. Weekly rhythms - known in chronobiology as "Circaseptan rhythms"
-- are one of the most puzzling and fascinating findings of
chronobiology. It concludes that plants, insects, and animals,
including humans, also have weekly cycles. Regarding the human
heartbeat, a finding says, “Our heart beats slowly on Saturdays,
irrespective of religious belief” (Gunther B. Paulien, Ph.D., The Divine Prescripton, p. 107).
8. Trust in Divine Power – “Antidote to stress”
If the mind is not set on trusting and
obeying God, then that will cause the body to follow un-healthful
practices which will sooner or later will bring disease and death.
Health is not just mere absence of illness. True Health involves
Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Dimensions.
Prayer
"Prayer is the answer to every problem in Life.
It puts us in tune with divine wisdom which knows how to adjust everything perfectly.
so often we don't pray in certain situations because from our standpoint, the outlook is hopless.
But nothing is impossible with God.
Nothing is so entangled that it cannot be remedied;
no human relationship is too strained for God to bring about reconciliation and understanding;
no habit so deep rooted that it cannot be overcome;
not one so weak that he cannot be strong.
No one so ill that he cannot be healed.
no mind is so dull that it cannot be made brilliant.
Whatever we need, if we trust God he will supply it.
If anything is causing worry or anxiety,
let us stop rehearsing the difficulty and trust God for healing love and power".

Many believe that God is a Being whose chief attribute is stern
justice,--one who is a severe Judge, a harsh, exacting Creditor. They
think the Creator is watching with jealous eye to discern the errors and
mistakes of men, that He may visit judgments upon them. It’s a wrong
belief. God is Love. God is our Creator. He loves you with a love that
surpasses human comprehension. More than a mother loves her child, so
God loves everyone and provides their daily needs. Man's own inclination
causes suffering and death.
