Tips for Healthy Living


Comprehensive Therapies for Headache:
* Breakfast should consist of fruits, both fresh and dried.
* Lunch should consist largely of protein foods.
* Starchy foods such as whole wheat bread, cereals, rice or potatoes

should be taken at dinner along with raw salads.
* Spices, tomatoes, sour buttermilk and oily foodstuffs should be avoided.
* Drinking a glass of water (warm water in winter and

cool water in summer) mixed with a teaspoonful of honey

the first thing in the morning, is also a good remedy.

Diabetics can eat healthy sugars:
* Upon arising: A glass of lukewarm water with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
* Breakfast: Any fresh fruit with the exception of bananas, soaked prunes,

a small quantity of whole meal bread with butter and fresh milk.
* Lunch: Steamed or lightly cooked green vegetables such as

cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes,spinach, turnip, asparagus and

mushrooms, two or three whole wheat chapattis according to
appetite and a glass of butter-milk or curd.
* Mid-afternoon: A glass of fresh fruit or vegetable juice.
* Dinner: A large bowl of salad made up of all the raw vegetables

in season. The salad may be followed by a hot course, if desired

and fresh home-made cottage cheese.
* Bedtime Snack: A glass of fresh milk.

Methods of weight control:
* Chew your food to a pulp or milky liquid until it practically swallows itself.
* Never eat until hungry.
* Enjoy every bite or morsel, savouring the flavour until it is swallowed.
* Do not eat when tired, angry, worried, and at meal-time refuse

to think or talk about unpleasant subjects.

Sunshine Therapy for Psoriasis:
* Avoid overdoses (more than 4000 IU per day) of vitamin D.
* Do not eat celeriac, celery, or psoralea seeds on days you bathe in the sun.
* Be aware that many prescription medications, especially those

for high blood pressure, increase sensitivity to the sun.

Correct Nearsightedness without Glasses :
* Rub both palms together quickly for 8-10 seconds. This friction creates

a mild heat.
* Close the eyes and gently place the left palm over the left eye and the

right palm over the right eye for one minute. Do not press the

eyeballs with the palms, just let them gently rest there.

Breathe in and out slowly to release stress.
* Repeat 2-3 times.
* Other poses that strengthen the eyes include the Bhujangasana

(snake pose), Surya Namaskara (sun salutes), and Shavasana (rest pose).
