7 Golden principles of the Healthy Life Style

01. Knowledge is power

It is believed that “MONEY IS POWER”. But in health field this principle is not applicable. If it would have been true, then the one with lots of money should never fell ill. But the truth about health is something different. In these days, the diseases like CAD, Depression, and Diabetes are very common. The more we get information about health; we will be more inspired to live healthy.

If someone is able to identify the cause of the disease, then that person can prevent himself from suffering. Proper education about the health can change someone’s life. It is very useful to read the books related to health and also to attend medical seminars. We should always get the right information and if we practice all these things with our own interest then it makes easy for us to implement it.

02. Most easiest and simple way for healthy life is- Regular Exercise

To make our self complete healthy, the easiest way is a regular exercise. We feel that it is difficult to bring changes in the food. It is quite tough and it requires some sort of determination to do so. Exercise would be the best way. If we practice the habit of walking, we can easily improve our health up to 50%.

Actually exercises are like Magic stick. If we practice regular exercises, we can control Blood pressure, Diabetes, Heart problems.

While practicing exercises spiritual energy gets enhanced, this in turn increases the power and enthusiasm.

03. Proper food is the best medicine

The Father of modern Medicine Hippocrates told that we should take the food as if we are taking the medicine that is we should take only limited food. In Ayurveda it is said that “No more medicines are required for the one who keeps attention in his/her food habits and Medicines are not useful for the one who does not keep attention”. So we should not take food more than our requirement.

Since decades ago we are searching for the nectar of good health, but we should realize that our food habits are the nectar for healthy life. The following are equal to nectar for health

Handfuls of sprouts contain more vitamins than one Becosule capsule. The sprout also contains more of life forces.

06. Vegetables:

To keep, ulcer, cancer, piles, fissure, fistula etc out of our system we should start taking minimum of 300 Gms of salad every day.

07. Whole Grains:

In these days, more people, especially poor people are prone to anemia. This is due to the deficiency of iron content in the body. Ragi, jawar, bajra, soyabeans, maize contains a higher percentage of iron. By the usage of these grains, we can prevent 60% of anemia, cataract, skin diseases, and obesity.

04. De-addiction Programmes

In India 20% of the cancer is due to addiction. If we educate the people about the adverse effects of the addiction they can be saved from cancer. There by we can also save lacs of rupees which people spend for the treatment. In selected villages intense efforts should be made so that everyone must be made free from these addictions. As a practical example, we already have success of the service done by Brahmakumaris Vikroli, Centre Mumbai. Homeopathic remedies are there to help addicted people.
