Top seven tips for a long and healthy life

As good as modern medical technology is, it can never save you from the problem caused by a lifestyle that is unhealthy. Instead of get 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 certain better than a pound of cure. Here are just seven tips on how to live a long and healthy life. In addition, the same lifestyle that helps you to avoid illness also help you to lose weight. I- 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, get up to go home in the car and when arriving at home, sit down again for the rest of the day. To such a life there is no physical labor. This physical inactivity is one of the main reason for a host of diseases. Walking and other thing must be added to our life if our normal work does not require us to exert ourselves physically. II- 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's better to sleep in the night and be active during the day. People such as students will take coffee and stimulant to study late into the night. Others develop the habit of remain 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 III- 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, then you will not digest your food properly. Acidity and indigestion begin, and this contributes to the likelihood of other  complex diseases taking root. Having an appetite is actually a sign of better health, but if you have no appetite, you should wait a bit and then eat. IV-Fast on a Regular, System 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 shall break down. But we have never bothered to asking or to think about our digestive organs, which we compel to work day after day without any rest. They cannot protest the way a person would to his boss, but they do give us the signal that they can't work non-stop. When we ignore those signal and still compel them to work, those organ break down. That is why periodic fast is necessary. Refrain from eat for one complete day. This give a rest to your digestive organ and also helps in the elimination of waste from your body. Regular fasting allow a person to gain extra time for intellectual or spiritual pursuit. Fasting isn't for hermits in a cave, but is a sensible practice that anyone can practice. V- 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 before sleep using cool water, this will relax you and prepare you for sleep. VI-Perform meditation on a regular basis, Your body is linked to your mind. Many of the diseases of this area are psychosomatic. Stress and anxiety take their tolls on our physical health. Meditation is a mental exercise which, allows you to detach yourself from the worries of life. Learn simple techniques. VII- 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 wealth, but it will certainly make you healthy. Your body need just enough sleep, not too much and not too little
