As good as modern medical technology is, it can never protect you from the problems caused by an unfit lifestyle. Alternatively of a modern medical solution to every problem, it is much better to live in such a way that you almost never get sick.
An ounce of prevention is certainly better than a pound of cure. These are seven tips to have a long and healthy life. Moreover, the same lifestyle helps you avoid disease and helps you lose weight.
Number one: Enough movement
In the past, people had to use their physical bodies to do their normal work. But today, someone can get up, go to work in the car, then sit down, get up to go home in the car, and when they get home, sit again for the rest of the day. This physical inactivity is one of the prime causes of many diseases. Jogging , skipping, walking and other things must be added to our life if our normal work does not require physical exertion. I
Number two: Go to bed when you feel sleepy
It may sound simple, but many people stay awake even when their bodies tell them it's time to sleep. Yoga and Ayurvedic doctors also mention that it is finer to sleep at night and be active during the day. However, people like students take coffee and stimulants to study late into the night. Many develop a habit of staying active at night and sleeping during the day. Even if we can, it eventually takes a toll on our health. Alternative health practitioners say that this kind of unnatural life is one of the contributing factors to cancer and other diseases.
Number three: Eat when you're hungry
This is also a simple idea, but again, we often go against the body's messages. If you eat out of habit or because of social pressure at a certain time of the day, even when you have no real appetite, then you will not digest your food properly. Acidity and heart burn begin, and this contributes to the likelihood of more complex diseases taking root. Appetite is actually a sign of good health, but if you don't have an appetite, you should wait a while before eating. (If you have no appetite after a reasonable amount of time, you should consult a doctor because something is wrong.)
Number four: Fasting on a regular, systematic basis
If you asked someone to work 365 days a year without rest, they would complain and say they have to rest or they will collapse. But we never bothered to ask or think about our digestive organs, which we force to work day after day without rest. They can't protest like a person to their boss, but they give us signals that they can't work around the clock. When we ignore these signals and constantly force them to work, these organs break down. Therefore, regular fasting is necessary. Don't eat one all day. This gives rest to your digestive organs and also helps in removing waste from your body. Regular fasting makes it possible to gain extra time for intellectual or spiritual pursuits. Fasting is not for hermits in a cave, but it is a sensible practice that anyone can practice.
Number five: Wash with cold water before going to bed
As mentioned above, proper sleep is essential for maintaining health. If you wash your important motor and sensory organs (hands, arms, eyes, feet, mouth, genitals) with cold water before going to bed, you will relax and prepare for deep sleep.
Number six: meditate regularly
Your body is connected to your mind. Many diseases of this time are psychosomatic. Stress and anxiety take control on our physical health. Meditation is a mental exercise that, among other things, allows you to detach from the worries of life. Learn a easy technique and do it regularly.
Number seven: Get up early every day
Again the old saying applies: "Time to bed, early to rise is healthy, rich and wise." I don't know if it will make you wealthy, but it will definitely make you healthy. Your body needs the right amount of sleep, neither too much nor too little.
Act in accordance with these tips and you can't go wrong.
