Adopt Healthy Habits - Stay Far From Medicines

Adopt Healthy Habits - Stay Far from Medicines

Geeta Jayanti - A Day of Introspection

Every year Geeta Jayanti is celebrated with recalling a lot of messages. In whole world, the Geeta is considered a holy scripture containing essence of the life. Everyone thinks that he/she is doing the right things always. I meet an old person, he was asking God that he has not done a single sin then why he is facing troubles in the old age? Noone admits that he did something wrong sometime in the past. On the day of Geeta Jayanti, Lord Shri Krishna explained with preaching Arjuna, the difference between Karma and Dharma. 

Each of us, on this earth had sufficient knowledge and experience to identify and perform right actions following the Dharma. The Shrimad Bhagvat Geeta contains 18 Chapters and 700 verses. If a person follow the same while taking decisions in life, he/she can never be affected from the difficulties and sorrows because even in comfort zone and moments of happiness, he/she will remain neutral, indifferent. All the doubts are removed when we believe firmly upon God Almighty and in case, all decisions are taken keeping in view His decision, no decision will prove wrong. The management lessons in big corporates and moral education in childhood, everything is explained in the Gita. 

After realising real knowledge of Gita, the reactions in life are removed and replaced with the responses automatically.  

It is well-known fact that if someone wakes up early in the morning, then his life becomes smooth and progressive. Some assume that it happens due to positive useful rays of the atmosphere and some assume it is due to a healthy lifestyle. As per the guidance of elders, one should take walk and do yoga, pranayam, etc; followed by meditation on daily basis. If a person wakes up earlier then the whole day is spent with proper planning and things move in perfect order. The confidence automatically rose with proper planning. The concentration is also increased and accurate decisions will be made. Right decisions will lead to acute progress and progress will make the prosperity and wealth.

In the early morning, with an empty stomach, one should take honey with lukewarm water and if honey is not available then Misri can also be taken. It reduces gastric problems and other stomach disorders. Obesity is also cured with this method.

Physical Exercise:

The diseases like diabetes, ulcers, heart diseases, and cancers are becoming common in this era of machines. One of the major causes of the increase in such diseases is dependent upon mechanical things and lack of physical activities. The poor and medium-income level persons are still preferring to perform their tasks with physical activities like the use of bicycles in transportation, but high-income level persons are preferring to live luxurious life i.e. full of laziness. It is required to adopt healthy habits by sparing valuable time before and after office hours. According
to a recent study on insufficient physical activity among the nations around the world, it is found that Uganda and Mozambique are the most physically active countries with only 6% population with insufficient physical activities while Kuwait is the least physically active with 67% population with insufficient physical activities. The study found that in India, 44% of women and 25% of men are doing insufficient physical activities. The physical exercises can be done even inside the office like yoga postures, pranayama (i.e. inhale, out hale, and holding the breathing as per exercises), and walking instead of using the lift.

Healthy Habits:

A healthy life doesn't require medication indeed it requires meditation. Are you Healthy? Some people reply I am healthy because I have no disease. Some say I am healthy because I am physically fit. Some say I am not healthy because I am not happy. Some say I am not healthy because I become irritated usually without any major reason. 

What is health, how you will define it?

Health is not only being physically fit or being happy. It is a balance among the physical, mental, social, spiritual, and emotional parameters of an individual. It is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. There are various types of factors affecting health like biological, socio-cultural, environmental, economic, and physiological. There are various indicators in cities to measure the overall health status of the population like mortality indicators, disability rates, nutritional status, healthcare services, etc.

One of the major causes of not being healthy in life is remaining idle means doing no activity during the days and night. If someone is doing nothing then there will be the first disease come in life i.e. obesity, followed by cholesterol, stress, blood pressure, heart attack, and so on. If someone remains busy in life and does not make himself idle, then also it is required to have precautions from intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting health. Avoiding smoking and drinking, taking a healthy diet, remaining positive in attitude, and keeping the body far from pollution (air pollution, noise pollution, and water pollution) can work best to keep someone healthy forever.

If we analyze the data relating to diseases and deaths; it will be found that most of the deaths are happening due to heart disease, cancer, strokes, diabetes, accidents, and also from being affected with stress syndrome. If someone keeps checking on the health and early diagnosis it's health-problems, then definitely it can help him to stay away from the diseases. In such cases, preventive measures are also possible to take. 

 Yoga and Ayurveda:

Adopting Yoga and preferring Ayurveda also work best if someone has been affected with any disease or disorder. However, due to metabolic syndrome coming in as the result of changes in lifestyles, diets, the stress in life; most people are being unhealthy in the age group of 30 to 40. A balanced diet containing 60% Carbohydrates, 25% fats, 10% Proteins, and also enriched in vitamins, minerals, and iron definitely helps to keep a check on overall health. Such diet should be taken 40% in breakfast time, 30% in the lunch break, 15% in evening tea time, and only 15% in dinner followed by a gap of 3 hours before going to bed. In metro cities, people are preferring processed food and go outside to eat fast food; these habits also invite diseases. Eating more at night followed by sleeping is the major cause of liver infections. One should eat less at least two hours before going to bed. 

Control your senses and be spiritual:

It's not easy to control the senses, the tastes of senses are the source of most of the diseases. It's just to identify the cause of disease and in most cases, it is a lack of control over the sense. The most difficult thing is to control the desires whenever feelings come to mind, the mind distracts from the work, and frustrations that come in life. When the desires are not controlled then the inside energy takes its own direction and most of the time, the energy is wasted. 

There are many incidents happening around us for which we do not care, but all the incidents take place in our mind and even be affected directly and indirectly. In youth, especially at a young age, the 'Kama Bhavna' or 'the emotions of sex' most of the time uncontrolled and their life be distracted even their character also be affected. Yes, such energy if controlled then the same person can score marks by putting that energy into making deep studies.

The decision either to utilize energy or waste energy by putting it in the wrong direction depends upon the power of the mind to control the senses. The rule of nature states that every person is capable to control various types of energy. However, it is fact that the energy cannot flow in more than one direction at one time. For example, a person cannot sing while eating and one cannot eat while singing. In the same way, at the time of work burden, most of the time, all work be disturbed if the work is not done with proper planning and priorities. 

Even if a person puts his whole energy into work at job place or business place, then most of the time the feelings of anger and arrogance come in the life even family life be disturbed. It's fact that due to the spirit of work and rules made in society, most of us start getting frustrated. 

The uncontrollable emotions are really harmful and meditation is the only way to control the senses and emotions. The way we breathe, the way we sleep, the way we work, everything is under the control of emotions and senses. The meditation enhances the capacity to control the emotions like anger, deeds, greed, etc. When such feelings have controlled the mind and body to be calm and real happiness comes in life; it is well explained by true Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan in His spiritual congregations, I participated most of the time. He inspired the youth to meditate and feel the emotions of love, kindness, charity, and peace in life. These feelings of kindness, charity, etc. start developing humanity and spirituality and most of the followers handled mega cleanliness campaigns, blood donations, tree plantations, and get recognition for winning world level awards to Dera Sacha Sauda Sirsa. 

Meditate and Be strong from inside

Now it's our decision either to realize success by doing meditation and controlling the senses or waste energy in unplanned and uncontrolled works denting social image and character. It's fact that the feelings and emotions cannot be stopped suddenly and if suppressed they lead to anger, wrong deeds, greed, etc. It is a must to modify the whole routine of life. For example, it is not possible to cure a cold by taking medicine and also ice cream at the same time. Both medicine and precautions are required to cure a disease, similarly, the lifestyle is required to improve to control the senses, emotions, and be calm.

Quit smoking immediately

Recent research which is available on the following link - https://www.tnonline.com/20211127/healthy-geezer-cigarettes-cause-90-percent-of-lung-cancer/ states that Cigarette smoking is the number 1 cause of lung cancer and the cancer is the main cause of death worldwide as it is an incurable disease as per medical science. The research also highlighted that in 1965, about 42% of adults smoked means at that time the smoking became popular, but in 2019, about 14% of adults smoked cigarettes. 

The symptoms of lungs Cancer include a persistent cough, constant chest pain, shortness of breath, repeated problems with pneumonia or bronchitis, swelling of neck and face, loss of appetite or weight loss, and fatigue. 

Tips and Tricks

2. Pay attention to the quantity and type of food you eat. For example, non-vegetarians will always keep you away from the feeling of pity, therefore, be pure vegetarian as per the sermons of the true Saint.

3. The kind of literature or cinema you read and watch; can also be the source of wrong emotions. Start listening and watching spiritual congregations and reading holy books, the emotions will be under your control.
