Most people think that if the morning starts with tea or coffee, the day becomes better. The reality is that this day is made only for the tongue and mind and not for our digestive system. As soon as tea is consumed on an empty stomach in the morning, the stomach starts becoming acidic. Many people start having acid reflux (belching, hiccups, cough due to gas etc. in the stomach) because of tea. Then the day does not go well.
What to do?
Try to detox your body first thing in the morning. Detoxification is a very easy way to remove harmful things. Often this is forgotten. In the morning on an empty stomach, squeeze half a lemon in a glass of normal water or a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. Water is a great drink to purify the body.
Do this work for more benefits
If you want more benefits, then put 2 lemons cut with their peel in 2 liters of water in a glass jar at night. You can also add cucumber along with it. Filter in the morning. Then keep drinking it throughout the day. With this the body will continue to detoxify throughout the day. By the way, eating salad on an empty stomach in the morning also detoxifies the body. They contain more than 90 percent water and fiber.
Avoid green tea-lemon tea also
Also understand that one should avoid taking green tea or lemon tea etc. on an empty stomach in the morning. Detoxing in the morning benefits all the organs like liver, kidney, lungs, heart. After eating between 7 to 8 pm, one should eat anything only after 8 am on the next day.
It is important to keep a gap of at least 12 hours. During this time the body repairs itself. Creates new cells. If it is not possible for someone to fast continuously for 12 hours, then start with 8 hours. Then move forward slowly. If fasting causes problems, consult a doctor.
Do walk, exercise, yoga every day
A brisk walk or any aerobic exercise for 45 minutes to 1 hour should be done daily. Make a habit of walking. As long as the legs move, all the body parts will continue to move properly.
Along with this, do Tadasana, Trikonasana, Surya Namaskar, Pawanmuktasana, Bhujangasana, Dhanurasana, Shashkasana etc. Yoga asanas are great for stretching. If you do not want to do different asanas or are short of time then just do Surya Namaskar. Apart from these, do Anulom-Vilom Pranayam for 5 minutes.
5 Dinks To Detox Body: Detox your body in 5 ways, the dirt accumulated in the body will be removed.
dancing is important
If you don’t feel like doing all this, then play songs of your choice for 15 minutes 3 to 4 days a week and then dance in your own style. Be it children or adults, definitely play any outdoor game. It is necessary to release sweat from the body through physical exertion. If you are elderly then it will not help to say that now you are old and it will not go away. Walk as much as you can.
If possible, walk for 30 to 35 minutes and exercise for 15 to 20 minutes. This is important not only for keeping the body active but also for strengthening the muscles of the body. If a person is able to exercise with dumbbells and do pushups as per his capacity even after 60 years, then assume that that person is unlikely to have problems with sugar or cholesterol.
Miracle of deep breathing
However, before doing weight lifting exercises, definitely consult a doctor. Do deep breathing for 5 minutes every day. It is very good for the lungs. All these keep weight under control. Being overweight has a negative impact on all the systems of the body which weakens the immune system. Take a walk, but the more important thing is exercise. This strengthens the muscles. Strong muscles increase the capacity of the body.
Salad is the best for breakfast
When it comes to taking your first bite in the morning, salad is a great option. While it does not cause vitamin-mineral deficiency, it is also the best source of fiber.
Rich fiber in salads and vegetables
As important as the vitamins and minerals are for us, or in some cases even more beneficial, are the fibers that are alkaline. Not only do they help in digesting food, they also play an important role in removing problems like gas, bloating, indigestion.
Good sources of fiber include raw edible items, such as: salad (cucumber, beetroot, carrot, coriander leaves), cooked vegetables: lady’s finger, spinach, bottle gourd, parwal, drumstick, bitter gourd, jackfruit etc. Apart from these, fruits include: guava, papaya, banana, apple, orange, mango etc. But take fruits, salads and vegetables according to the season.
Consumption of fiber also keeps the heart healthy. It helps in reducing the level of bad cholesterol. It is also useful in maintaining correct sugar level.
How much salad to take every day
Use seasonally available raw vegetables in salad. Like nowadays: Cucumber, Cucumber, Beetroot, Tomato, Coriander leaves etc. These can be eaten comfortably up to 500 grams. If someone has the problem of acid reflux, gas and takes tea or coffee every day, then he should stop them for 10 days and eat salad in the morning after detoxifying the body. You will definitely notice the difference in a few days.
If someone likes to drink petha juice then he can also drink a glass of petha juice. This can be a great way to keep the stomach alkaline and provide fibers. If you do not get salad in the morning, then after detox you can also eat guava, papaya, apple etc. One should avoid eating citrus fruits (orange, seasonal etc.) on an empty stomach. Acidity is possible due to this. Some people eat dry fruits after waking up in the morning. These should also not be eaten on an empty stomach. It would be better to have salad before this.
There should be every color in food: Our effort should be to have vegetables of every color in the salad (red: beetroot, carrot, green: cucumber, broccoli, coriander). If salads are not available in different colors then they can be supplemented with fruits.
Lunch-dinner plate should be like this for vitamins, minerals and fiber.
Bottle gourd, ladyfinger, cabbage, spinach, fenugreek, bitter gourd, brinjal, custard apple, parwal etc. Cook them in less oil. Mustard oil is the best oil. Avoid deep frying. If there is mint or coriander chutney in the food, it makes the food tasty as well as nutritious.
These are the options for protein
Pulses, cheese, soybean etc. are good sources. The best dal is moong. It is easy to digest. Compared to other pulses, the amount of protein in it is slightly less, hence easy to digest. This is often given to patients. Apart from this, the quantity of protein is high in lentils, pigeon pea, gram and kidney beans. Also eat horse gram pulses in winter. Sprouts (sprouted moong, gram etc.) are also a healthy source of protein.
protein in non veg
Along with protein, it is also a good source of Vitamin B12. Egg, fish, chicken and mutton: Most commonly consumed non-veg food items are included. People who eat non-veg, but the method of cooking them is very important. Cook in less oil. Roasted food is better.
for carbohydrates
Rice, maize, millets (sorghum, millet and ragi) are good sources. Generally, we keep the maximum portion of carbohydrates in our food. This should not be done. If the entire food is divided into 4 parts then its portion should be only one fourth. The remaining half should consist of salad, pulses and vegetables. Keep one portion empty i.e. eat less.
Overall, eating raw vegetables or fruits increases metabolism and immunity. However, the food plate cannot be the same for everyone. Dietician also tells calories according to age and profession.
Eat only this much oil and ghee
Oil and ghee should be used in limited quantity. These are also important for the body. A person should not take more than 500ml i.e. 2 to 3 teaspoons of oil every day in a month. Whereas cow’s desi ghee is considered the best, avoid vegetable ghee.
Snacks should be health enhancing
After lunch and before dinner is the time for snacking. Healthy options are less available in this. In such a situation, it is more important to take care of snacking. People suffering from stress, depression or overthinking are more in need of snacking. Such people often do not sleep properly at night. They often stay awake till late at night. As a result, they keep feeling hungry and keep eating anything. This is called binge or emotional eating. Such people keep taking sweets, chocolates, biscuits, tea etc. These are unhealthy.
There are disadvantages to emotional eating. People do not overeat only when happy. Many times we eat more food even under stress. During depression, the body increases such hormones which force us to eat. At such times, eat chocolate and junk food or drink cold drinks. Under stress the body is unable to digest food properly. In such a situation, if there is lack of sleep, the weight does not decrease but keeps increasing.
If we start feeling hungry a few hours after eating food, it may actually be thirst. Then one should drink a glass of water. The body gets used to carbohydrates i.e. sweets, so we start looking for something sweet.
These are healthy, you can take them
Keep healthy snacks nearby. Do not eat snacks or biscuits with tea and take dry fruits. Eat any fruit or you can eat roasted gram. Makhana (a bowl of roasted) and chana sattu can also be a better option to eat during binge or emotional eating. Both of these are excellent sources of calcium, protein, fiber etc. Apart from these, roasted poha is also a good option. Many people also like puffed rice.
What not to take while snacking or munching
Junk food (noodles, burgers, pizza etc.), processed food (refined oil, white sugar, sea salt, flour etc.) can be consumed once or maximum twice a month. It is not right to do more than this. On the day of consuming them, increase the quantity of salad, fruits etc. the next day and reduce the quantity of carbohydrates, fat etc. You should say no to cigarettes, alcohol, tobacco etc. Even a small quantity of these is harmful for the body.
Servicing body and mind through sleep
If a person is sleeping well. He is able to get 7 to 8 hours of deep sleep every day without any medicine. It should be assumed that stress is not bothering that person. The truth is that sleep in itself is an indicator of excellent mental health. Due to good sleep, the positive hormones (serotonin, dopamine etc.) produced in his body are working properly and the person often does any work with enthusiasm.
Distance from screens is very important for good sleep. This is the root of many of our problems these days. Keep the right mattress and pillow for deep sleep. The bed should not be so soft that it puts even slight pressure on the muscles and should not be too hard. The height of the pillow should be only 3 to 5 inches. If the room temperature is between 22 to 24 degrees Celsius then it is pleasant to the body. Set the temperature of AC in the room to the same amount.
What to do before sleeping?
Immersing the part below the knees in lukewarm water before sleeping also helps in falling asleep. Actually, tiredness of the body leads to good sleep. If your feet are massaged, you feel sleepy. For this, massage with lukewarm mustard oil for 2 to 3 minutes. One should not sleep with legs crossed over each other, bent till the knees or with hands pressed under the head. Sleep is disturbed.
Note: Give utmost importance to sleep. If you do exercise, yoga or proper diet for one day in a month, it may work, but do not deprive yourself of sleep.
strengthen your mind
If there is stress or problem of overthinking. After going to bed at night, the process of thinking started and did not stop. If you are regretting the past and feeling insecure about the future, then understand that we cannot change what is not in our hands or control. Yes, you can try your best. There should be no shortage in this.
Only those who live in today, learn from yesterday and improve the future, sleep well and live life in the right way. The truth is that it is not at all right to be stressed by unnecessary show-offs. Let us accept that what has passed will never come again. That phase can be good for some person and bad for someone. We often spoil our present day by remembering that period again and again. That’s why a wise person never lets his past life influence him too much.
Be it travelling, going to a movie, changing bedrooms, keep doing such things. If you feel like eating ice cream at night, go out to eat it. Do whatever you want. It is not necessary to do everything by planning. Sometimes doing some work suddenly increases the enthusiasm to live life. When we increase our expenses more than our earnings, we always remain under financial pressure.
