For a Healthy and Happy Life
Secret for longevity is adopting a
right and positive attitude . it is about giving oneself a moment rest from
living life on the fast track it is about listening to what our body is trying
to tell us. We do not even realise when the sun rises and when it sets! Days, months and often
years, pass by without our having given enough thought to our emotional, mental
or physical well-being.
Scientist believe that human beings have survival capacity of 100 years. Do we realise that because of the misuse, we subject ourselves to irregular and stressful lives we lead? We hardly live half our lfie spans. The stress, anxieties , fears an the physical ills that we surround ourselves with, lead to such shallow breathing that the human body degreases much faster. Given below are some very important facts that could change our lives.
Deadly Four; weight Blood Pressure, cholesterol and controlled, and blood sugar. If these are well controlled , chances are that you are on the road to good health. In fact, it is not one of the said factors , but their combined effect that causes greater harm.
Stress , a phenomenon that seems closely associated with our present day life style, affects everybody from the young to the old and is the key factor that develops this life threatening combination of the “deadly” four. We often react to prolonged stress by smoking tobacco chewing, over-eating , drinking too much and exercising too little , all of which only add fuel to fire.
Watch your Tempera: if you are the irritable and angry type, you are more prone to having a heart attack. In such cases, mediation and yoga helps.
Cheer Up: Strive to be happy and cheerful. Depression increases the risk of heart attacks, four fold! Make sure you walk regularly or exercise.
Watch your Belly : obesity , especially of the upper half of the body is an open invitation to heart dieses, diabetes and other diseases. In take of diets that are rich in whole grains. fruits and vegetable are advisable . avoid saturated fats, salt and sugar.
Go easy on your Bad Habits; Heavy drinking (alcoholism) and cigarette smoking promote abdominal fat storage. Excessive coffee intake too increase the risk of hypertension . turn a teetotaller or drink occasionally.
Tone up your metabolism ;
Metabolic fitness that is measured by how well the body uses up the insulin,
work towards talking heart diseases; stroke and diabetes.
Health Tip; Chew or boil and drink 20 curry leaves on an empty stomach, every morning.
Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
Let us humbly seek our ideal and serve Him in every thought, word and action,. We cannot form and absolute ideal with the finite mind. But our ideal will grow and gradually become vast and all embracing, as the unbounded Deity within us is able to manifest more and more His greatness. When he fills our whole heart, all pettiness and ignorance and self-seeking will vanish; and instead of thinking ourselves great through self importance, we shall feel ourselves great only in Him. Let us never forget that without His strength we are weak, with out His support we are sure to stumble ; but that if we will turn to Him whenever we have need of help. He will never fail to lead us out of the darkness and fill our groping mind with the light of understanding.
