Second (2nd) pillar of Healthy Body & Life


Here is the link to the blog on 1st pillar, if you have not read the blog. 

WHY IT’S NORMAL TO BE HEALTHY, VITAL AND STRONG, ABNORMAL TO BE SICK 
The average child born into the world is perfectly healthy, with all its organs functioning perfectly. This is the normal state, and we should remain healthy, vital, and strong. The need is to remain same in future and we also want it that way, but as worldly awareness increases we forget our health.

IT IS ABNORMAL TO BE TO E SICK
The condition of sickness simply means you are going against the stream of life and thinking negatively. The law of life is the law of growth; all nature testifies to the operation of this law by silently, constantly expressing itself in growth. Where there is growth and expression, there must be life; where there is life there must be harmony; and where there is harmony, there is perfect health.

So today lets take the 2nd pillar of healthy body & life .ie NUTRITION

One has to follow the gold principle of healthy eating .ie global nutritional philosophy which is combination of cellular science based & personal Nutritional needs

So lets take one by one:

1. Protein (about 30% from food & supplements)

  • Its the first solid component in our body
  • Its Part of body composition
  • It helps muscle growth
  • Supports weight management

2. Fats ( about 30% from food & supplements)

      Healthy Fats
  • Omega-3 Fats are healthy & support the immune system
  • Omega-3 fatty acid  can be got from food supplements
  • High level of fat in diet can be cause for weakening immune system.
Avoid foods loaded with
  • Saturated fats
  • Trans fatty acids
  • Red meats
  • Simple sugars
Add/Increase foods rich in
  • Omega 3
  • Fish Oil
  • Flaxseeds
  • Polyphonies in fruits
  • Green tea
(These are anti inflammatory items)

 3.  Minerals & Vitamins

  • Minerals & Vitamins are micro-nutrients
  • Micro-nutrients are essential & must be obtains through our diet
  • An adequate micronutriets supply is key for sustainable health 
  • Diet rich in fruits & vegetables supports the immune system
  • .ie vitamins like C,A,E & D are recommended to maintain immune system
  • Food rich in Various minerals like Zinc, Selenium, iron & copper are recommended to support Immune system 

4. Carbohydrates ( about 40% from Food & supplements)

       Fiber 
  • Combination of Soluble & insoluble
  • Diet rich in soluble fiber is best for gut immune system
  • We need 35-40 gas of fiber every day
  • Leafy vegetables, Bajra, Soybean, Lentils, whole wheat & ground nuts 
       Phytonutrients
  • They can provide significant benefits for people who eat plant based foods.
  • Foods like colorful fruits & vegetables, legumes, nuts, teas, whole grains & many spices contain Phytonutrients

Apart from above (from my experience) there are some healthy lifestyle habits which can bring big difference
  1. Our body is made to eat nature made food ie vegetarian.
  2. Reduce refined oil, Fried food
  3. Eat warm food
  4. Have breakfast by 9 am as our stomachs morning time is between 7-9 Am
  5. Have early lunch by 1.00 PM
  6. Dinner by sunset
  7. Don't eat last nights left over food. Like heating & reheating.
  8. Avoid Smoking & alcohol 
  9. Once in a while have fermented food
  10. No TV watching while having meals
  11. Eat food slowly with focus and grind well so the saliva gets mixed properly before it goes in the stomach
  12. Fill the stomach with 1/2 food & 1/4 water so remaining space is left for various gases developed
  13. We will see about water/hydration, sleep & fitness in the up coming blogs


Stay tuned for the next 3 pillars which I will be sharing from my experience.

  CONSTIPATION Study shows that more than 20% of people in India are suffering from #constipation. The stomach is not cleaned properly because of lifestyle issues. Due to constipation, there are many problems during defecation. People suffering from this have to go for defecation several times.   On the other hand, the person suffering from not getting the stomach cleaned properly feels tired throughout the day. A person suffering from constipation has to eat and drink very carefully. Ayurveda says imbalance between any of the three doshas, ie Vata, Pitta, Kapha can cause constipation. Thus our body gets surrounded by many lifestyle issues. This is often due to carelessness in food and lifestyle, leading to many times the food we eat is not digested & the stool becoming dry and hard, and bowel movements are not possible at the right time. Apart from carelessness constipation can also be caused by   -The lack of fibre in the diet.   -Spicy food   -White flour   -Fried food -Drinking

Is mental health equally important?

A few months ago, I attended a party at my friend's place. I met many known and unknown people at the party. Everyone was enjoying themselves. People were dancing, drinking, talking, singing, playing etc. Few of them were colleagues, so they were, as usual, discussing their agendas. So, the party was organized by my friend in honour of his son who won an award. Some of his colleagues were wishing him, some were upset, and some were jealous. But everyone was there to wish him despite how they felt about it.  I realized people are not happy from the inside or hide their emotions. They are discussing office work at the party. We are all trying hard to balance our personal and professional life. Personal life depends on how we handle our relationships with family and friends.

Today the competition is very high and everyone is struggling to win but end
