HEALTH CARE TIPS FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE:

The following Health Care Plan can help you to manage your health in a systematic way. The wiser persons will consult their medical practitioners also before starting implementing on the advise in the following pages. As any clinical patient or any specific person may not be advised to follow the system exactly.

1. Time : Start your day at least 3,600 seconds early. At whatever the time you leave your bed, advance it by 60 minutes ( don’t try to locate your calculator, it is 1 hour ). So you need not cut your working time to

take care of your health. Take this time partially out of your sleep, TV viewing, gossiping etc. You may manage the things simultaneously with your routine work.

Immediately after you leave your bed, take a lot of water, from 1 litre to 1.5 litres approximately.

2. Exercise : If we talk of average people and not sportsmen etc., around 30 minutes of exercise is sufficient to keep your body fit. You may jog, cycle, do aerobics or simply run fast. The idea is to keep the

body parts moving and to keep the heartbeat up at least twenty minutes on each day.

When we jog or exercise, our pituitary gland get activated. The pituitary gland floods the system with endorphins which are over two hundred times more powerful than morphine. Resulting in putting us on a NATURAL CHEMICAL HIGH from two to five hours. Time invested in exercise is more productive than its

investment in getting dressed or likewise.

3. Diet : An average adult needs around 2000 calories per day even if he does not do any physical activity. Every excess of 9 calories gets converted into 1 gram of body fat and vice versa. Example: If my requirement is 2000 calories and I am taking 2900 calories then 900 excess calories will be converted into 100 grams of

body fat and alternatively if I take 1100 calories then the short fall of 900 calories will be done right by burning of 100 grams of body fat, automatically.

Any human body needs 7 nutrients in his diet viz. Proteins, Fats, Carbohydrates, Minerals, Vitamins, Micro nutrients and Fiber. Proteins build our body. Fats and carbohydrates give us energy to make the body and body parts move. The requirement of each nutrient varies from age to age and occupation to occupation. The children are to grow so they require more proteins as compared to adults. The obese does not need

much fats and like wise diabetic patients are to avoid carbohydrates. Do we exactly follow this system. The diabetics, to avoid carbohydrates stop eating all those things which are rich in carbohydrates. But don’t they

require other nutrients like proteins, vitamins and minerals? His means they are also not taking other required nutrients. Now what is the conclusion: they should take a diet having all the nutrients but

carbohydrates. Similarly obese should have all the diets not containing fats. Skipping food may give them other deficiencies.

Concentrate on fresh vegetables, fish, chicken and whole grain cereals and have as much Roughage as possible.

4. Sleep : An average of 5 to 6 hours sleep should be had each night. It is proved that a 30 minutes sleep after lunch also keeps you healthy and makes you more productive in evening hours.

Go to bed at the same time each night. Getting enough sleep helps boost your brain power. When you sleep your brain keeps working and your body recharges. Your body has a special kind of “Clock” inside that helps

you rise with the sun and go to sleep at night. Drinking soda with caffeine before bed can keep you from sleeping. A warm bath before bed helps you relax. Make sure you are in a quite place at bedtime because noises can keep you awake. Getting enough sleep helps you do your best in whatever you do. Keeping a

sleep diary helps you see how well you are sleeping and if you need more sleep. If you don’t get enough rest at night you will be sleepy during the day, and you might miss something really important. During sleep,

your brain sorts and stores memories. Eating big meals too close to bedtime can ruin your sleep. You may become too jumpy to sleep if you exercise too close to bedtime.

5. Precautions : We are very much cautious of all our belongings. We don’t let our books wet under rains. We don’t let our clothes get spoiled. We don’t let our jewelry touch acid. We also don’t let our house catch

fire. And if we talk of our pets, we do spend a lot of money to keep them healthy. Then why we forget of our health when we smoke. Smoking is injurious to health. The passive smoking is more damaging compared to active smoking. To reduce the ill effects of smoking or to get rid of this bad habit take ginger and squeeze

some lemon on it. Let it dry. Take the dried ginger. Sprinkle some rock salt on it and chew it dipped in honey.

The other thing you should avoid is excessive intake of alcohol. Alcohol if taken in small quantities may help keeping us fit, subject to our age. Alcohol is considered as very good servant but very bad master.

While consuming Alcohol, the following 4 Ds should be kept in mind:

D – Dose: The quantity should be small.D - Dilution: It should be properly diluted with water or soda.

D - Duration: It should be consumed in longer time.D – Diet: It should be had with a good eatables.

Narcotics: Should we explain its ill effects? It kills you, your mind and your body. Can you give narcotics to your expensive horse or dog. If you are giving yourself any kind of drugs or narcotics, this means you are

giving yourself a less value compared to your pets.
