Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Simple Rules to Good Health If we follow nature and our natural instincts sans the defects of a regimented modern life-style, it is very easy to look after, manage, reduce and even cure completely various health problems like fatigue, mental and physical depressions, body aches and pains. The spinal column which joins the ‘Sahasrar Chakra” at the top of the brain to the ‘Mooladhar Chakra’ at the lower end of the spine, is the master-key to good health. Simple relaxation techniques which are ingrained in almost all the 84 lakh species including human beings naturally reflex back the body to its natural, God-given state. Hence, to enjoy optimum health sans various common ailments, try the following simple rules of simple living and high thinking. 1. Eliminate or try to reduce to the minimum the five well-known white poisons like sugar, salt, oils or fats, refined flours such as maida, besan or similar other food stuffs (which do not have the outer covering like bran), eggs, too much of milk or milk products as also non-vegetarian food which has lots of cholesterol, fats and proteins. 2. Drink plenty of water to produce nearly two liters of urine in 24 hours to keep the body clean and supple without kidney problems. 3. Eat plenty of seasonal vegetables and fruits, preferably by reducing other food to that extent. You can eat plenty of salads as they do not contain spices, and fruits instead of sugary desserts. 4. Avoid constipation at all costs; preceding paras 1,2 and 3 would help you in doing so. Constipation creates and aggravates many ailments. 5. Try the following exercises before you come out of the bed each time you sleep as they have a rejuvenating effect: a) Lie straight on your back on a hard bed with palms under your head in place of the pillow. Join the big toes and pull both the feet towards your head suddenly without moving your heels which should remain where they were i.e. at the same place on the bed. Wait for a second and then drop down the feet back to their earlie position and relax to enjoy the nice feeling. Repeat it again 10 times or more, if you have more time to enjoy. b) Repeat by joining the toes and lifting the feet as above. The circulate both the feet in a semi-circle, right foot to the right and left to the left, joining the toes back at the same point from where you had started, to complete the circle and relax to enjoy. c) Do the same exercise but in the reverse direction and enjoy it for 10 times or more d) Then keep your legs eight or ten inches apart, pull both feet quickly towards you as you had done in a) above. In all such cases, when you pull the feet towards you keeping the heels where they were on the bed, the knees too automatically and simultaneously rise to that extent. Then jerk the knees together to the extent convenient quickly but without force. Wait for a second and drop both the legs to their original position. It is very enjoyable. Repeat ten times or more, time permitting, to enjoy as long as you want. e) Pull both your legs and feet half way on the bed with knees raised. Then jerk the feet up keeping the heels on the bed only. Then while keeping the feet, not the heels, in the raised position, jerk the knees quickly but softly, wait for second and drop down the feet with a slight thud on the bed to enjoy the relaxation before you repeat it again to enjoy as many times as you want to enjoy. After completing the five simple exercises to be done only with a view to enjoy, slowly slip back both the legs slowly towards the end of the bed. After straightening the body fully, stretch a little more to induce what is called angdai in Hindi or alas-ghene in Marathi. If done in that position, it will rejuvenate you each time you do the exercises, feeling fresh-like-a-flower each and every time. If each exercise is done for about ten times, the whole procedure would take two to three minutes. Hence our good health slogan should be: “Three minutes a day; keep the doctor away!” And whenever too tired, do it again for a few minutes to come out, “fresh-like-a-flower”. Author: S. M.

NB: The author himself has been following these simple rules for the last two decades or so although he had a severe heart attack (MI) in 1982 and although many cardiologists have had advised him to undergo by-pass surgery. The author has since been doing much more work after the heart attack but never felt any need to go for a by-pass although he was 51 years of age when he had the attack and now he is 76. After the attack, he started holding free cure camps for back pain etc. During the last 16 years or so, he has held more than 600 such kepts with 30,000 or more beneficiaries, most of whom had come to attend his camps in the last resort after trying various therapies. They come just to take one more chance if something could help them to recover. Those who follow these simple rules properly do recover to enjoy better health than ever before. He has tried to put most of the details on the Internet at the abve-mentioned website and also the exercises are given on YouTube to make it easy for all to learn from there.
