Sammuel johnson writes, who does not mind his belly will hardly mind any thing else. It is one of the prime requirements of life. Today in world, only 40% people are fortunate, those who are having ability to have food all the require time rest are struggling for the food. Being such opportunist, we are not having time to eat. We are taking food in hurry, in running and in very odd mental state. We solve our all the problem at dining table. Long before, Hypocrites understood, “We are what we eat”.
To day, people are becoming mad about there fatness and other health issue. I am an natural health practicener and experienced ,most of them are suffering due to their improper way of taking food. They are not taking food in time. They are not chewing food properly. That is reason today sickness is increasing badly.
We know, all the eatables having same constituents (Carbohydrates, Protin, minerals, water, Vitamis and fat) only proportion varies. There fore, most important thing is how we are eating. As per Yog Kundalini Upnishad, “The act of eating is dedicated to GOD.”
Our diet is an essential factor for the formation of our body. It is clearly mentioned in an Ayurvedic classic 'Charak Samhita' that consuming improper diet in improper way is the main cause of 'Disease'.According to 'Charak Samhita -"An appropriate and suitable diet in a disease is equivalent to hundred drugs and any quantity of drug hardly compares to good results in disease without following proper dietetic regimen" Diet should be regulated taking into account the place time and season. On should be in a habit of taking all six tastes in order to prevent nutritional deficiency disorders. A person should take meal only when he feels hungry. Break fast should be taken morning before 0830. Lunch should be taken early between 12 and 1P.M. this coincides with biological clock of the body. Breakfast should be the largest meal of the day. The supper should be lesser and lighter than lunch and that should be two hrs before of sleep. A healthy breakfast also helps to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Research suggests that breakfast eaters are leaner than those who skip the morning meal, with one study reporting that missing breakfast was associated with a fourfold increase in the risk of obesity.
As per Hata Yoga Pradipika Verse 1:60 , In moderate feeding half of the capacity of stomach should be filled with solids, ¼ th with liquids and rest kept empty for the free movements of body humors to add digestion.
Sequence of food is also playing the vital role in digestion. Sweet food like fruits are advisable to take in the beginning of meal, food with sour and salty in the middle and bitter, astringent and pungent foods should be taken at the end of meal.
Method of consuming food plays vital role to maintain optimum level of health. Wash the face hands and feet before meal. Dine in an isolated neat and clean place in pleasant environment with the affectionate persons in sitting position with concentration. Never chit chat and watch television while eating. Food should be taken after complete digestion of previous one.
Hard items should be consumed in the beginning followed by soft and liquids subsequently. Consumption of excessive hot food leads to weakness. Cold and dry food leads to delayed digestion. Intake of food prepared by giving extra heat leads to weakness. Hence consumption of such food should be avoided. After food, up to 30 minutes avoid sex, running, water intake, singing, reading and exercise. Lastly we can say, “If we eat wrongly, no doctor can cur us and if we eat rightly then no doctor is needed

Water, the elixir of life
Water is the second most important requirement of living being after air. All life on Earth originated through water. Two thirds of Earth’s surface is covered by water. Our body contains 70% of water. To maintain harmony inside body we need maintenance of this percentage of water. On an average, a human being loses 3.6 Liters of water per day through urination and perspiration. So we should take 5.6 Liters of water to maintain this output.
Since the human body is approximately 70% water, when we cleanse this internal water, revitalization of good body chemistry is possible. Provide our body with the highest quality water that is unpolluted, energized and life giving and it is absorbed immediately: every cell becomes properly hydrated.
Many people complain that, after taking water, frequency of urination increases. It is not like that. Urine production is a process and it takes time. Exactly what happens? As soon as we take water, it goes to large intestine, there it should be absorbed. Due to impurity and some other reason water stays in intestine and produces pressure at the urinary bladder that causes frequent urination. This situation will become normal, automatically within three four days. The extent of our ability to absorb water depends upon the purity and structure of the water. Living cells drink up pure water in preference to other liquids,
enhancing their vitality whether, they are human, animal or plant. Proper hydration will greatly increase our health by supporting proper nutrient absorption and toxin elimination. This leads to a healthy immune system, increased vitality, and the potential end of discomforts and disease
Taking lots of water improves absorption, cleans up the arteries, re-stimulates dead cells, improves blood circulation and keeps body fit and toxin free. Never take water just before and after food, after urination, after passing motion, in between food and after sleep.
If we are unable to take required amount of water our body system will use from its storage and aging impact will come before the time and our system will lead to various kinds of diseases because every cell in our body depends upon water for its survival.
If we will not take sufficient water then these are the common symptom will disturb our health and harmony...
After each symptom we will see how lack of fluid affects the issue.
Fatigue, weakness: Dehydration of the tissues causes enzymatic activity to slow down.
Constipation: When chewed food enters the colon, it contains too much liquid to allow stools to form properly, and the wall of the colon reduces it. In chronic dehydration, the colon takes too much water to give to other parts of the body.
Digestive Disorders: In chronic dehydration, the secretions of digestive juices are less may causes diabetes, ulcer, gastritis
High and Low Blood Pressure: The body's blood volume is not enough to completely fill the entire set of arteries, veins, and capillaries.
Gastritis, Stomach Ulcers: To protect its mucous membranes from being destroyed by the acidic digestive fluid it produces, the stomach secretes a layer of mucus.
Respiratory Troubles: The mucous membranes of the respiratory region are slightly moist to protect the respiratory tract from substances that might be present in inhaled air.
Acid-Alkaline Imbalance: Dehydration activates an enzymatic slowdown producing acidification. Having high levels of acidity in our body can be a contributing factor for many illnesses - everything from obesity and high blood pressure to diabetes and even cancer.
Excess Weight and Obesity: We may overeat because we crave foods rich in water. Thirst is often confused with hunger.
Eczema: Our body needs enough moisture to sweat 20 to 24 ounces of water, the amount necessary to dilute toxins so they do not irritate the skin.
Cholesterol: When dehydration causes too much liquid to be drained from inside the cells, the body tries to stop this loss by producing more cholesterol.
Cystitis, Urinary Infections: If toxins contained in urine are insufficiently diluted, they attack the urinary mucous membranes.
Rheumatism: Dehydration abnormally increases the concentration of toxins in the blood and cellular fluids, and the pains increase in proportion to the concentration of the toxins.
Premature Aging: The body of a newborn child is composed of 80 percent liquid, but this percentage declines to no more than 70 percent in an adult and continues to decline with age.
Today we try to retain and maintain health by consuming multi-vitamin and multi-mineral tablets along with a number of products available in the market. We use these products because scientific researches have shown that our basic food isn't able to provide all the nutrition in optimum quantity that are required by our body to stay healthy.Marketing firms with the help of Medical science and scientific discoveries sell these products and we use them because there is a lot of media hype about them.In the season of consumerism, modern health and modern discoveries, we have forgotten to use what is already available to us. Actually we are not only unable to use nature's free gift, we are misusing it. This is simply an insult to nature and we are paying the price
