HEALTHY NOTES - ONLY ON EMPTY STOMACH - EAT FRUITS


HEALTHY NOTES

only on empty stomach - eat fruits 

Dr Stephen Mak treats terminal ill cancer patients by an "un-orthodox" way and many patients recovered. Before he used solar energy to clear the illnesses of his patients. He believes on natural healing in the body
against illnesses. 
As of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%.
Cancer patients shouldn't die. The cure for cancer is already found. It is whether you believe it or not. I am sorry for the hundreds of cancer
patients who die under the conventional treatments.
Thanks and God bless.
- Dr Stephen Mak

EATING FRUIT...
We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just
popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to
know how and *when* to eat.
What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS!
FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH


If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your
system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other
life activities. *

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD
Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice
of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines,
but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The
minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and
digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.....

So please eat your fruits on an *empty* *stomach* or before your meals! You
have heard people complaining - every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I
eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to
the toilet, etc - actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on
an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and
produces gas and hence you will bloat!

Greying hair, balding, nervous outburst and dark circles under the eyes all
these will *NOT* happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic,
because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert
Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct
way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health,
energy, happiness and normal weight. When you need to drink fruit juice -
drink only* fresh* fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice
that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the
nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.
But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should
drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let
it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit
fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout
the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant
you look! *

KIWI:
 Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium,
vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.
APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low
vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the
activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer,
heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY:
 Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total
antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing,
blood vessel-clogging free radicals. *

ORANGE :
 Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds
away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens
the risk of colon cancer. *

WATERMELON:
 Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also
packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune
system. They are also a key source of lycopene - the cancer fighting
oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium. *

GUAVA & PAPAYA:
 Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for
their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps
prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your
eyes. *

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer!
* Can you believe this?? For
those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is
nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will
solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the
digestion.

Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed
by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink
hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks.....
HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!)
Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the
left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never
have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea( and
intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have
a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can
wake you from a sound sleep.

Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could
survive.

HEALTHY NOTES - WALKING WISDOM

HEALTHY NOTES

WALKING WISDOM & DRINKING WATER



MOTTO – HEALTH IS WEALTH & WALK YOUR WAY TO HEALTH

The sold objective to encourage and foster the idea of “Arogyameva Mahabhagyam” (HEALTH IS WEALTH) is to lead A HAPPY LIFE by Human Being.

Ultimate  Aim is to achieve Heaven on Earth. Healthy people would not quarrel with others.  Similarly, healthy Nations (Nations with healthy people) will be at peace with one another, ushering in world peace, amity.  Universal Brotherhood and prosperity, for which the person has been yearning for ages. (League of Nations, UNO, etc.)

Healthy People & Healthy Nation

In human life, health is the prima facie important aspect without which, the mankind cannot lead a healthy and happy life.  Material richness and money will not help to keep the body physically and mentally fit.  In every service organization, whose objectives are to serve the people, for the upliftment of the poor the down trodden in the fields of education, health, decent living and several other programmes laid down to fulfill these objectives.

MAINTAIN HEALATH THROUGH WALKING

Quotations on WALKING

The art of walking is at once suggestive of the dinity of man. Progressive motion is alone implies power, but in almost  every other instance it seems a power gained at the expense of self-possession. – Tuckerman.

If you are for a merry jaunt I will try for once who can foot it farthese. – Dryden.

The sum of the whole is this: walk and be happy; walk and be healthy; The best way to lengthen out our  days  is to walk steadily and with a purpose. The wandering man knows of certain ancients, far gone in years, who have staved off infirmities and dissolution by earnest walking  - hale fellows, close upon ninety, but brisk as boys. – Dickens.

The motto of Walking is ‘Health is Wealth; Walk your Way to Health’.  We should bring the overall awareness among the community on health consciousness and bring  awareness on the development of physical, mental and spiritual aspects of life.  Unless a person is physically and mentally fit, he/she cannot be active and successful in life and produce the required thoughts and actions to achieve the set goals.

Your body is built for Walking – it is the ultimate experience machine.  Walking helps you restore rhythm and balance to your life, it makes you fit healthy and happy.

Walking is easy, safe and inexpensive

Walking really can’t be easier to do – after all you have been doing it since you were a year old.  And it is safe and almost injury – free.  All you need is a pair of comfortable Walking shoes.

Walking reduces risk of cancer

Study after study has shown that walking and exercise reduces your risk of breast cancer and colon cancer.  Walking is also good for those undergoing cancer treatments, improving their chances of recovery and survival.

Walking reduces rish of heart disease and stroke

The  heart becomes stronger and it pumps more blood with each beat.  It needs to be less work, so it lasts longer; walking lowers blood pressure and raises HDL (good cholesterol). The Honolulu heart study of 8000 men found that walking just 2 miles a day cut the risk of death almost to half.  Heart disease and stroke are among the top killers of both men and women. Get your blood moving!

Walking reduces diabetes risk

Get out and walk for 30 minutes a day as your minimum daily requirement for health and to prevent type 2 diabetes.  A study by the Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, discovered that walking for 30 minutes a day cut diabetes risk for overweight as well as non-overweight men and women.  Walking also helps maintain blood sugar balance for those with diabetes.

Walking boosts your brain power

Walking 45 minutes a day at 16 minute mile pace increased the thinking skills of those over 60 the participants started at 15 minutes of walking and built up their time and speed.  The result was that the same people were mentally sharper after taking up this walking programme.

You can walk to maintain your weight

Exercise such as walking is an important part of any weight loss programme.  You must still watch how much you eat in order to lose weight.  But walking helps you build healthy lean muscle, lose inches of fat and pump up yo for  metabolism.

HEALTHY NOTES - Shri A.Satyamoorthy


HEALTHY NOTES

HOW TO KEEP FIT – CONTROL FAT – REMAIN SLIM
(NOTE PREPARED BY SHRI A. SATYAMOORTHY)

Although I am not a Doctor, after reading books purchased by me from Readers Digest, Book House Entertainment (India) – a private ltd. company, I desired to keep all retired officers as to how to keep fit as we are aging. However our President was good enough to suggest to put down my ideas on this important subject- hence this note. I am sure all the members will be happy to read and follow my suggestion.
1.       Longevity: Scientists and Research Scholars have come to the conclusion that our longevity depends on our own heredity. It means and includes that our Parents, Grand Parents and Great Grand Parents lived for long period, we can also expect to live, and other things remaining constant, one can normally expect to live for a long life depending on our heredity.
2.       Habits: We have two kinds of habits – Innate and Acquired. Innate qualities are two kinds
(i)                Some are born with pride, jealously, hatred, proud about their families, dishonest etc.
(ii)                While the other remain simple, follow ‘live and let others also live’ policy, remain honest etc.
I am reminded about a Bible saying ‘Pride goeth before a fall and haughty spirit before destruction’ (pathananiki karanam garvam, vinasananiki karanam kopam, ahankaram. Manam idi gurthunchukovali, Entha thwaraga manam ‘live and let others also live’ policy follow aithe Stress and Strain will not enter our body and soul. We remain in peace and hence there will be no health problem. O.K. so far so good.
Acquired Qualities: These are listed below.
a)      Smoking: Tobacco in any form should be avoided by us. There is a saying that even the animals do not eat tobacco leaves. Smoking cigars, cigarettes, pipe etc. are likely to cause mouth cancer. The earlier we avoid smoking in any form the better will be your health. Doctors have also informed that those who inhale that smoke will also be great sufferers causing health problems. Therefore please avoid smoking.
b)      Drinking: This should also be avoided to remain healthy. Sometimes Doctors prescribe heart patients after bypass or Angeography to take brandy (2 pegs). Those who are accustomed for drinks should not forget that health is more important than anything. Hence moderate drinking only should be our goal, if you want to keep fit and live longer healthy life.
c)       Drinking Coffee is also not good for health. Coffee contains COFFINE which increases your cholesterol which is injurious to health. Coffee is 3 kinds – Ardica, Robusta and San Roman which we drink in a brand variety of Ardica and Robusta, San Roman is not sold as it has no quality but quantity is more. Tea, why we should drink either coffee or tea? Taste, Warmth and Aroma are the 3 qualities of these drinks. Why not be contended with a glass of juice. Please consider. If you feel that you want vigour and stimulant, take Tea but avoid Coffee as far as possible to remain healthy.
d)      Tea is six kinds (1) Orthodox – select two leaves and a bud avoiding course plucking, But this is very costly and hence let us avoid it. (2) the next variety is CTC, Curling, Twisting and curing hence CTC. It is good to purchase from good company products. Tata CTC is good that red or green label. (3) Green leaf Tea with warm water is good but where do we get – In Calcutta you can have Green Leaf Tea but not elsewhere. (4) Decimation of Tea is also good (called Tea liquor) or If you mix with lime juice it will be much better for health. (5) Package tea is convenient, but the packets mostly contain dust Tea, rejected stuff of sending etc. If you want to drink packed Tea please purchase Tata product. TETLEY Tea which is very good but packets costRs.140/-. Cost factor alone will have to be kept in view with our meager pension. In my opinion it is good to take Red and Green label packets. But never take Ootacamund Tea which is very poor quality. So if one wants readily to have a stimulant tea, purchase TETLEY TEA. It gives taste,warmth and aroma. But Tea liquor with lemon juice is much better.
3.       Physical Exercise: (i) People who are let us say 60 years should go for brisk walking for 45 minutes preferably in a park. Above 75 years old people should walk for 30 minutes (both ways). Make it a practice to go for walking at least 1.5 kms in the evening. It is good for health and it will keep you fit. On return take 1 or 2 cups of water, if possible juice, but let us not start the day with coffee. Forget it after 60 years. After coming back from walking, the first thing you should do is wash your hands in the flowing water with dettol liquid. This is a must. This should be made a practice when ever you go out and return home. This is the first precaution for your habit.
(iii)               What we have done as drill class in our childhood days is extremely good. You will not have knee pain, back pain etc.
4.       YOGA is four kinds – Physical exercise, Asanas, Breathing exercise and Meditation. Among asanas practice Padmasanam or half Padmasanam,  you can combine from any other with this exercise.  Apart from padmasana, sitting on knees like Muslims pray namaz is extremely good. Sit in this position and keep your hands behind your back. Try to reach both hands in locking position which is extremely good. All these Asanas one should practice atleast for 10 minutes. Last is Savasanam – lie down and remain in a flat position for at least 10 minutes. So far so good.
5.       Our enemies for good health are (i) salt (ii) sugar (iii) oil and (iv) mirchi. Better to take with less or with no salt. Oil must be avoided- one litre per month, no sugar, less karam. If you can afford olive oil it is better. Those who are meat eaters – avoid red meat – take chicken or fish – that too once a week – let us say Sunday. Avoid junk foods from stalls on each side of roads. They are prepared in palm oil which is very harmful for health. Eat leafy vegetables – avoid potato or other root crops – leafy vegetables, cauliflower are good. Avoid brinjal (vankaya). Take fruits – apples, guava, pine apple, boppaya fruits. They are good for health.
Last but not the least – I am practicing for the past 10-12 years. My breakfast consists of cornflakes, quakers oats with milk – no sugar please – chocolate varieties of cornflakes must be avoided. If you have problems of constipation eat guava jamakayas every day. In the old age our system also becomes old, Don’t go for laxations, you will be addicted to that. Plenty of fruits eating will keep you fit. Take 2 to 5 litres of mineral water depending on your age.
Keep your mind busy – reading good news papers as sensitive telugu papers should be avoided.
Solve puzzles – Hindu quick cross word puzzle with the help of dictionary, I have 6 of them:
(1)    Synonyms and Antonyms, thesaurus, (2) oxford (3) readers Digest dictionary with origin of words (4) Children dictionary with pictures (5) Word power of R D. They are very helpful. Editions of 10 books encyclopedia – Rs.500/- is a good asset for your mini library.
Laughter: It is one kind of exercise – I have practiced laughing at least 10 minutes per day after evening walk. Remember good old things of school/college/office experiences etc and laugh. Remember that laughter is the best medicine for good health. You may laugh at this suggestion. That itself is a good reason for laughter.      
Energy Power comes our precious heart. Whatever is eaten is converted into blood and our heart keeps on pumping energy to our body. Comfortable 7 to 8 hours sleep is necessary for our body. Rest is good but don’t sleep in day time. Avoid siesta after lunch.
Friends I have written these lines from my personal experiences. No exaggeration or unnecessary advice. Health is more important than Wealth. Let us hope that these small and simple suggestions which I have written above will be suitable for you. Sorry for taking long time. I am happy if you accept this with patience. Best of Luck. I thank for your patience. I hope it is not boring.
Remember one ounce of practice is better than one pound of theory      GOOD LUCK
