Second (2nd) pillar of Healthy Body & Life

WHY IT’S NORMAL TO BE HEALTHY, VITAL AND STRONG, ABNORMAL TO BE SICK

The average child born into the world is perfectly healthy, with all its organs functioning perfectly. This is the normal state, and we should remain healthy, vital, and strong. The need is to remain same in future and we also want it that way, but as worldly awareness increases we forget our health.

IT IS ABNORMAL TO BE TO E SICK

The condition of sickness simply means you are going against the stream of life and thinking negatively. The law of life is the law of growth; all nature testifies to the operation of this law by silently, constantly expressing itself in growth. Where there is growth and expression, there must be life; where there is life there must be harmony; and where there is harmony, there is perfect health.

So today lets take the 2nd pillar of healthy body & life .ie NUTRITION

One has to follow the gold principle of healthy eating .ie global nutritional philosophy which is combination of cellular science based & personal Nutritional needs

So lets take one by one:

   • Supports weight management
2. Fats ( about 30% from food & supplements)
   • Healthy Fats
     • Omega-3 Fats are healthy & support the immune system
     • Omega-3 fatty acid can be got from food supplements
     • High level of fat in diet can be cause for weakening immune system.

4. Carbohydrates ( about 40% from Food & supplements)
   • Fiber
     • Combination of Soluble & insoluble
     • Diet rich in soluble fiber is best for gut immune system
     • We need 35-40 gas of fiber every day
     • Leafy vegetables, Bajra, Soybean, Lentils, whole wheat & ground nuts
   • Phytonutrients
     • They can provide significant benefits for people who eat plant based foods.
     • Foods like colorful fruits & vegetables, legumes, nuts, teas, whole grains & many spices contain Phytonutrients

Apart from above (from my experience) there are some healthy lifestyle habits which can bring big difference

1. Our body is made to eat nature made food ie vegetarian.
2. Reduce refined oil, Fried food
3. Eat warm food
4. Have breakfast by 9 am as our stomachs morning time is between 7-9 Am
5. Have early lunch by 1.00 PM
6. Dinner by sunset
7. Don’t eat last nights left over food. Like heating & reheating.
8. Avoid Smoking & alcohol
9. Once in a while have fermented food
10. No TV watching while having meals
11. Eat food slowly with focus and grind well so the saliva gets mixed properly before it goes in the stomach
12. Fill the stomach with 1/2 food & 1/4 water so remaining space is left for various gases developed
13. We will see about water/hydration, sleep & fitness in the up coming blogs
