Tips for Health Living
As the common adage goes, health is wealth. And the best way to be healthy is to be happy practise good habits, maintain a regular healthy routine and a healthy way of thought.
The following tips will help you make every meal a healthy one for your body
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise is a nursery rhyme worth acting upon. One can maintain proper healthy routine only if one wakes up early and performs the right activity at the right time. This ensures good health at all times.
Avoid anxiety and stressful conditions.
Do not surpass the urge to pass stool and urine at any point of time.
To maintain oral hygiene regular cleaning of the tongue removes the extra coatings that cause oral infections.
Brush your teeth after every meal. A toothbrush with soft, rounded bristles is the best. Brush tour teeth for at least two minutes.
Do not use your nails, toothpicks or other pointed things to clean your teeth because it can wear away the gums resulting in complete exposure of the teeth.
To remove food particles from your teeth use a proper up-and-down motion with the brush and then rinse your mouth thoroughly. If brushing is inconvenient at some places, rinse with warm or plain water for at least 30 seconds.
To prevent erosion and cavities avoid chewing betel nut.
Floss regularly in between your teeth.
Use a fluoride toothpaste or baking soda.
Replace your toothbrush every month.
Breathe from the nostrils and not from the mouth. Your nose is lined with small hair that helps in filtering air. The air is warmed and moistened in the nose. Breathing from the mouth dries the pharynx, resulting in dry cough and formation of mucous.
Eat a well-balanced nutritious diet that includes all minerals, vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates, fats and water in requisite proportions.
Never eat food while under stress, strain or worry as it hinders the digestive process. Avoid any other simultaneous activity as this forces the heart to pump more blood, slowing down digestion and leading to various ailments including indigestion. Thus, one should avoid reading or studying while eating.
One is sometimes tempted to overeat. Avoid this as it distends the abdomen and leaves no space for water and air.
Drinking lots of water relieves many ailments. Ensure that the water is pure to avoid water-borne diseases. Drink water in the morning just after getting up and before brushing your teeth. Drink at least a litre of water at one go and do not eat anything for an hour. After drinking water, wash your face and brush your teeth. Those unable to drink so much water can initially start with one glass and gradually increase to four glasses. The first one or two glasses have no effect on the body except for excessive urination. After a few days, everything becomes normal. People suffering from arthritis and vata diseases should do this treatment thrice a day. Drinking a copious quantity of water at one time cleans the intestine and improves its functioning. Even the Indian Health Association considers this a scientific method. Poisonous substances in of body are excreted within 24 hours. Constipation is relieved and it prevents many diseases.
Regular use of any item reduces its appreciation. Hence, even seasoned food should be taken alternatively at intervals.
Sweets should only be consumed after meals, as they tend to be tempting and filling. Particularly in the case of children, sweets satiate one’s hunger without actually meeting the body’s nutritional requirements necessary for growth.
Condiments such as chillies, pepper, mustard, garlic, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom should be used in limited amount. Excessive use irritates the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, diminishing the desire for ordinary but nutritious food.
Avoid tea or coffee, especially before meals. In minimal amount, though, they act as a stimulant, making the body active and also increase proficiency. While preparing tea, spice it with tulsi, boosts immunity and is commonly available.
There should be an interval of four to five hours between meals, which gives time for the stomach to clear itself of the previous meal. The evening meal should be the lightest so that it is easily digested. Indians normally follow the contrary practise, especially businessmen, who are late-night heavy-dinner eaters.
Daily bathing is very essential both in winters and summers, otherwise the wastes (along with sweat in the form of oils) coming out of the skin are not washed and can lead to itching and other skin problems. Bathing helps in re-energizing oneself. Do not wash your hair with warm wate
