Seven Tips For A Long And Healthy Life
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 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 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 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.
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.
Follow these tips and you can't go wrong.
