Your diet,the secret of your health.

  • For the modern youth of today it is a great challenge to maintain a good health and sharp mind amidst prolonged working hours, less sleep and social imbalances. To meet this challenge today's youth need additional doses of vitamins and minerals in their diet. The food need to be nutritious, simple and attractive. At the same time care need to be taken ti see that chemicals are not used to make the foods to look attractive.
  • It is recommended that the youth need to consume variety of 5 half cups of fruits and vegetables a day for a healthy body. Please see to it that your salad is a mis of different fruits and vegetables instead of the same carrots or apples daily.
  • The diet must contain small quantity of variety of fruits and vegetables instead of large quantity of a few fruits and vegetables. This will help the youth to absorb the required quantum of vitamins and minerals in proper proportion.
  • See to it that your daily diet consist of fibre content, potassium and vitamins A and C.
  • Do not use chemical colours to make the food look attractive as they will cause serious health disorders. Instead use various fruits and vegetables of different  colours.
  • Further eat for living a healthy life and do not live for eating. The logic is eat less food which contains all the required carbohydrates, proetins, vitamins and minerals in the required proportion.

Women are the worst hit in dry and flooded village

  • The women of Kamlawati's Campierganj village, Gorakhpur, Eastern U.P. are the worst hit due to the climatic changes. What is it that affects the womenfolk of the village so much and why?
  • Limited access to resources and livelyhood has a harmful effect on their health.
  • Even in these modern times they have to walk longer distances in search of drinking water, fire wood etc. What a pity?
  • With the men migrating to cities for work, the women are even ploughing the fields out of compulsion.
  • The women literally starve giving up their portion of food to feed other family members.
  • Severe stress on women leading to premature deliveries.
  • Dalits and adivasi women are the worst hit.
  • What they need from the government?
  • Recognition as farmers so that they can avail credits and other benefits.

  • Don't you wish to know how does diet help to fight ageing?
  • According to research there are anti ageing molecules in our body that get activated by a low calorie diet. So the message is eat low calorie food to look younger and to avoid ageing.

Tips on how to meditate blissfully.

  • We have succumbed or surendered life to hurry and haste. Is it not so? Our day begins with hurrying up to the workplace or college, hasty eating of food, hurrying up to catch the bus or trainn Have you ever thought what would be the ultimate of surrendering ourself to haste. The result is that we loose all our life pleasures, get ourselves strained and over stressed resulting in blood pressure and other undesired ailments at a very early age. I kept thinking to myself where does the solution fie for this problem/ The solution that came to my mind is meditation.
  • I have also observed many people complaining that meditation did not give them possitive results. On analysing I realised that peoople become over enthusiastic and succumb to haste as usual even while meditating. Here are a few tips as to how to meditate blissfully.
  • Practice meditation as a potent spiritual activity irrespective of any religion that benefits and enhancees your life dramatically.
  • Keep thinking and saying in your mind that you are practising meditation as a tool to transcend you to eternity and that you continue to enjoy it without becoming addicted to it.
  • Be like a child during meditation. Remove all notions and ideas that you heard from others as otherwise expectations and hopes will make you overenthusiastic making you hurry or haste durinf meditation. 
  • Avoid comparing the benefits that you gained in the previous days with the meditation that you are performing today as this will you slow yor down in the process.
  • While meditating keep saying to yourself that "I have the whole tine of the world  available to me for meditation. I am born in this world just to meditate and realise myselt. Request to the God to reveal himself before you".
  • Breathe as slowly as you can. Take 5 to 7 seconds to inhale, 5 seconds to hold and 5 to 7 seconds to exhale. If you are doing this in 2 to 4 seconds it is an indication of haste overtaking.you in meditation.
  • Consider meditation as a karma yoga that every one needs to perform to promote one's health.
