Rules for Health Part 1

Rules for health are quite simple.

 

1. Sleep, get enough of it

 

2. Dinacharya (Daily Regimen):

 

2.1. have an oil bath at least once a week. Along with bath, do jalneti.

 

2.2 get fresh air and sunlight into your life. Avoid AC as far as possible. Step out without a mask and breathe deeply. Wear masks only where it is mandated.

 

2.3 . Corona is a flu, period. You will get it, develop the antibodies, and will be immune. Same as for all things out there. Ignore the fear and the panic around, a fearful mind and masks will make your body less immune. There is a small chance you will die of corona, welcome it, life is nothing without some uncertainty.

 

2.4 Walk. Preferably in the sun.

 

 

3. DIETARY RULES

 

3.1. Have food . Processed factory sludge is not good.

 

3.2 eat only those things that spoil but eat them before they spoil. Manufactured goods with long shelf life are not food.

3.4 cook, or buy from the local auntie-ji who cooks at home. Eat fresh food within hours of cooking.
