As right as modern technology is, it can never save you from the problems caused by an unfit lifestyle. Alternative 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 rehabilitation. Here are seven tips on how to live a long and fit life. In addition, the same lifestyle that helps you to circumvent illness also helps you to lose weight.
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 come up at home, sit down again for the rest of the day. In our life, there is no physical labor. This physical inactivity is one of the main reasons for a host of sicknesses. Sports, Walking, Running and other things must be added to our life if our normal work does not require us to apply ourselves physically. I
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. Ayurveda doctors also say that it is better to sleep at night and be active during the day. However, people such as students will take coffee and analeptic to study late into the night. Others progress the habit of remaining active at night and sleeping during the day. While we can do this, it at least 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
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 a certain time of the day, even when you have no real desire, then you will not digest your food properly. Acidity and indigestion begin, and this contributes to the prospect of other, more complex diseases taking root. Having a desire is actually a sign of right health, but if you have no gluttony, you should wait a bit and then eat. (If you have no desire even after awaiting a reasonable amount of time, then you should consult a doctor because something is wrong.)
Fast on a Regular, Systematic Basis
If you asked 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 never mind asking or thinking about our digestive organs, which we compel to work day after day without a rest. They cannot whoop, 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 pressure them to work, those organs break down. That is why recurring fasting is necessary. Abstain from eating once daily. This gives a rest to your innards organs and also helps in the elimination of wastes from your body. Regular fasting allows a person to gain extra time for intellectual or inner pursuits. Fasting is not for hermits in a hollow, but is a sensible practice that anyone can practice.
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 peripheral nervous system (hands, arms, eyes, legs, mouth, genitals) before sleep using cool water, this will relax you and prepare you for deep sleep.
Perform meditation regularly
Your body is linked to your mind. Many of the diseases of this epoch are psychosomatic. Stress and impatience take their toll on our physical health. Meditation is a mental exercise that, among other things, allows you to detach yourself from the agonized of life. Learn a simple technique and do it consistently.
Get up early every day
Once again the old proverb, “Early to bed, early to rise makes a person fit, wealthy, and wise.” I don’t know if it will make you wealthy, but it will certainly make you fit. Your body needs just sufficient sleep, not too much and not too little.
