2. As good as modern medical technology is, it can
never save you from the problems caused by a life
style that is unhealthy. Instead of getting a modern
medical fix for every problem, it is far better to live in
such a way that you will hardly ever fall ill.
An ounce of prevention is certainly better than a
pound of cure. Here are seven tips on how to live a
long and healthy life. In addition, the same life style
that helps you to avoid illness also helps you to lose
weight.
1. Get Enough Exercise
In the past people had to use their physical bodies in
the course of their normal work. But today someone
may get up, go to work in a car, then sit down, get
up to go home in the car and when arriving at home,
sit down again for the rest of the day. In such a life
there is no physical labor. This physical inactivity is
one of the main reasons for a host of diseases.
Sport, running. walking and other things must be
3. added to our life if our normal work does not require
us to exert ourselves physically. I
2. Go to sleep when you feel sleepy
This may sound simple, but many people stay up
late even when their body is telling them that it is
time to sleep. Yoga and Ayurvedic doctors also say
that it is better to sleep in the night and be active
during the day. However, people such as students
will take coffee and stimulants to study late into the
night. Others develop the habit of remaining active at
night and sleeping during the day. While we can do
this, it eventually takes a toll on health. Alternative
health doctors say that this kind of unnatural living is
one of the contributing factors in the causation of
cancer and other diseases
3. Eat when you feel hungry
This is also a simple idea, but once again we often
go against the messages of the body. If you eat out
of habit or due to social pressure at certain time of
the day, even when you have no real appetite, then
4. you will not digest your food properly. Acidity and
indigestion begin, and this contributes to the
likelihood of other more complex diseases taking
root. Having an appetite is actually a sign of good
health, but if you have no appetite you should wait a
bit and then eat. (If you have no appetite even after
awaiting a reasonable amount of time, then you
should consult a doctor because something is
wrong.)
4.Fast on a Regular, Systematic Basis
If you would ask any person to work 365 days per
year without any rest, they would complain and say
that they must have some rest or else they will break
down. But we have never bothered to ask or to think
about our digestive organs which we compel to work
day after day without a rest. They cannot protest the
way a person would to his boss, but they do give us
signals that they cannot work non-stop. When we
ignore those signals and still compel them to work,
those organs break down. That is why periodic
fasting is necessary. Refrain from eating for one
complete day. This gives a rest to your digestive
5. organs and also helps in the elimination of wastes
from your body. Regular fasting allows a person to
gain extra time for intellectual or spiritual pursuits.
Fasting is not for hermits in a cave, but is a sensible
practice that anyone can practice.
5. Wash with cool water before going to bed
As mentioned above, proper sleep is essential for
the maintenance of health. If you wash your
important motor and sensory organs (hands, arms,
eyes, legs, mouth, genitals) before sleep using cool
water, this will relax you and prepare you for deep
sleep.
6. Perform meditation on a regular basis
Your body is linked to your mind. Many of the
diseases of this era are psychosomatic. Stress and
anxiety take their toll on our physical health.
Meditation is a mental exercise which, among other
things, allows you to detach yourself from the
worries of life. Learn a simple technique and do it
regularly.
6. 7. Get up early every day
Once again the old proverb, “Early to bed, early to
rise makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise.” I
don’t know if it will make you wealthy, but it will
certainly make you healthy. Your body needs just
enough sleep, not too much and not too little.
