TIPS FOR A HEALTHY LIFE





Today I wish to write about certain natural things about food which we eat for a healthy body and powerful mind. To have a disease free healthy body it is always better to go for home cooked foods. The food that we prepare from our home by oneself or our parents, contributes a lot about our good health and taste. Why it is giving good taste is because when we cook, our full mind with undivided attention is given. This increases the taste also. Today’s mechanical life, people do not have any time to cook food for themselves. They always rush out looking for good restaurants, hotels and Dabas. The magic of home cooked food is, it helps to have a pure mind which enables the person to have a strong body and clear thinking.  When we prepare, the vegetables are washed properly, grains are cleansed and rice is cleaned well taking away the dirt. Vessels are clean.  Mostly vegetarian foods are preferred by many. The reason is that we use less oil, spices are put less which allows our stomach to be light. Mind gets fresh and cheerful. To have a healthy body and mind we should practice taking our food which contributes to have disease free life. What we should adhere is take pure food,  e.g  morning the usual milk and light breakfast, lunch homemade rice, sambar, curry, curd, rasam etc. After noon around 4.00 pm take a cup of coffee or tea with light snacks. In the night take light food that too very early around 7.00 p.m.  – giving at least two hours gap before going to bed. Sleep around 9.00 p.m. and get up early morning. Start the day by doing Yoga or go for a brisk walk. Come back, have a bath, do your routine morning work with light breakfast. 



The stomach should never be too much filled. If the stomach is too full, one feels sleepy and lethargic. With good fresh light food, the mind is calm, healthy and cheerful. By adopting this way of life, obesity will never be near you. One is always happy, as fresh as a blossom of flower, active ready to do anything in an enthusiastic way. That mood makes people around you happy and cheerful like you. Select good friends and their company. Always be pious and God fearing. Speak and discuss happy things. Have kind heartedness.
