The Role an' Importance o# 6ater
Fater plays a 'ery important role in maintaining good health 7ontinued from 9ealthy 5i'ing:
S!T"A #$ The "ole and Importance of %ater Start your 'ay ith it : Drink water first thing in the morning. +t is to be had warm at body temp and should be sipped like hot tea so that ma; possible sali'a goes into the stomach. nly if you are drinking water kept in a copper pot it need not be warmed up as it already has same Juality as warm water. Mud pot water is also to be warmed up. +n case you are regularly drinking water from a copper pot then you should stop for a couple of weeks after e'ery ) months of continuous usage#.
Those below $E and abo'e *% should drink only $.( to 2 glasses while others should drink upto $.2(ltrs. i.e. min ) glasses. This is the only water one should drink without feeling thirsty. Take the smallest sips. Try this for * mths and see the changes in health. -ou will feel fresher lighter sleep digestion and heart will impro'e pains will subside. Sip; 'onHt gulp: 0lways drink water sip by sip like one drinks hot tea. Drink ater arm: 3e'er drink cold water. Fater should always be drunk warm or at body temperature. Drinking cold water leads to decrease in blood supply to 'arious organs. 'er a period of time this leads to the weakening and hence failure of 'arious organs and causes probs like heart attack kidney failure brain hemorrhage etc. Drinking chilled water also leads to se'ere constipation as the large intestine shrinks causing 'arious other complications. This is applicable to other cold foods as well. "voi' 'rinking ater $ust be#oreG a#ter #oo'9Bhojanante Visham Vaari & Drinking water at the end of a meal is akin to drinking poison. +t kills the athaaragni that aspect of prana or energy which enables the body to digest food# thereby making the food rot inside the system instead of getting digested. This in turn leads to e;cess acid and gas being produced in the system and a 'ery 'icious cycle starts. Maharishi Faghbhat has identified $%) ailments that occur as a result of drinking water after ha'ing eaten food.
The minimum gap between food and water should be between $.( to 2.( hrs. This also 'aries based on geographic and other conditions and the durat ion is higher in the mountains and lower in plains and hot areas. This is because the bodyHs ability to digest food 'aries with the ambient conditions. Fater drunk before food should be drunk at least 4% minutes before eating food. To clean the mouth and throat after food only one or two sips of warm body temperature water can be had. +f really thirsty one can ha'e fresh !uice of seasonal fruits after morning meal and buttermilkchhaas after lunch. Milk can be had after dinner. Though these also contain mostly water the properties are completely different and they actually help digestion and the body instead of hurting it. Euantity: Take your weight di'ide by $% and then subtract 2 from the result. These many liters of water can be had per day.
Tumbler is an import it is ekrekhiye which is not good. 5ota is much better. Fater takes the properties of its holding ob!ect and solutes. 5ota is a sphere hence its surface tension is less. This is better for body. Fell water is much better.

&ooking !tensils "voi' 2ressure .ookers: Fhile cooking if the food doesnHt get contact of air and sunlight then this food will work like slow poison in the system. This means that using pressure cooker is 'ery bad for health. The pressure used to cook food softens the grains by breaking them. They are not cooked simply broken. e in that order. 1esearchers at the 7D1+ 5ab in 5ucknow a central go't. body# ha'e found that after cooking say 0rhar daal in 7lay pots $%%C of the micro nutrients srcinally present in the daal are still there I)C are left after cooking in kaansa utensils and E@C after cooking in peetal or bron>e utensils.
9owe'er if the same daal is cooked in a pressure cooker only $)C of these micro nutrients are left. ssentially what is left is worthless and unusable by the body. 1efrigerator is also 'ery harmful for health. The ashes that remain after a dead body is burned contain these same $E micro nutrients A the same as soil. 3o other natural thing contains all $E. Fe could ha'e produced aluminium thousands of yrs ago. ur shastras ha'e the techniJues. ut we used clay pots since it is the best from e'ery angle.The longer an item takes to ripen in the field the longer it will take to cook at home. Pressure cooking it will make the food useless for the body. 3ature has designed e'erything with enormous attention to detail. .g. the top of the plants are eaten by humans and birds middle part is for animals and roots are for the earth herself. 6hen chronic 'iabetics ho starte' 'oing all their cooking in clay pots > sugar levels came 'on #rom 4A o'' to A o'' in less than a year9The T6< group family cooks all its food in clay pots.
&onsumption of ood ,or best results food should always be consumed within 4E minutes of cooking. The body is best able to utili>e the nutrition from food when it is consumed in this time frame. This 4E minute calculation is also present in Kain Darshan.
culture we ha'e a festi'al called Lasoda on this same day when we were supposed to eat stale food. The concept of warmhot food does not e;ist in western countries. They donHt know how to make rotis. The a'erage age of bread is around I%days in urope and /<0.
ollow it up with Paan Paan is traditionally eaten at the end of meals to aid digestion. 9owe'er it is to be had without kattha brown paste smeared on pan leaf# so that you donHt spit out the !uicelaar. Paan leaf should be kasaila i.e. kad'a. The bitter it is the better. Desi paan is darker and more bitter. 0s a general rule the darker the colour of a natural thing the more effecti'e it is as medicine. Kamun tomato etc should be eaten a lot as they are dark in colour and hence helpful. 7hoona in paan reduces 6ata while Paan leaf reduces Pitta. The ma;imum amount of choona that can be used is $gm. Saunf aniseed# clo'es rose mi; gulkand# should be added to paan. Su!ari betelnut# and kattha should not be added. 0nything with fat will help the !atharagni and digestion will speed up.
Grinding of lours Fheat flour should be eaten in a ma; of $( days of being ground. Makki chana !owar etc should be consumed in @ days. 0 sur'ey done in a few 'illages studied I% ladies who were using 7hakki hand&mill# and not a single one had a caesarian deli'ery no pains in body diabetes P etc were absent. Fomen who buy atta from market are affected with all these ailments and so are their family members. The main Juality of the /terus is its elasticity. 7hakki ensures this elasticity and hence no tumors and caesarians will happen. 7hakki can be used till @th month of pregnancy. The 'ery Juality of health of caesarian children is much poorer compared to children born naturally. Physical health mental health and intelligence imaginati'e ability are of a different le'el for children born naturally. Fomen start facing many complications depression tension sadness pains hot flashes# due to menopause around the age of 4(. The best way to keep these under control is 7hakki usage. 1egular usage of 7hakki and
Mi;er grinders also destroy most nutrients due to high speed and friction. The main reason for our health problems are the changes in our kitchens. 0n e;periement conducted in hilwar showed a reduction in acidity pains sleep P etc on incorporating chakki atta in their li'es. There were no gas problems e'en on o'ereating.
Avoid Pairing 'pposites 3e'er eat opposite products together as they create ama diseased energies# in the body. Milk and curds and any item made of these two should not be taken together. Milk and curds and milk and !aggery donHt go together. nion and milk are poison together. A most skin problems are created through regular consumption of this combination. 0ll sour fruits are a bad combination with milk e;cept amla gooseberry.

6ata is the air element in the body: 0ir B ther 7ontinued from 9abits 1elated to ating 6ata represents the air and ether element. +t has the Jualities of cold dry light airy mo'ing Juick and changeable. +t is responsible for mo'ement in the body. This means it takes care of the circulation in the body mo'ement of food through the digesti'e tract mo'ement of impulses through our ner'ous system and e'en mo'ement of thoughts
through the mind. +t is also responsible for speech communication respiration breathing# absorption and sensory perception. >iness or lightheadedness indicate a problem in circulation. +f there are problems with numbness or tingling itHs a sign that 'ata is causing an imbalance in the ner'e tissue. 2ain; #atigue; eak $oints; arthritis 0s the ner'ous system weakens it brings about pain. People with a 'ery out&of&balance 'ata e;perience pain all o'er the body and are Juick to get e;hausted. W3ote: Depending on the type of pain another dosha may be in'ol'ed as well. ecause the primary seat of 'ata is in the colon low back pain lumbago# or sciatica which are close to it are especially indicati'e of a 'ata imbalanceX. Tiredness results from poor circulation. 0s 'ata is the air element and e;cess leads to important bolidy fluids drying up which result in !oint problems and arthritis in the long term. Malabsorption 0n easy way to detect malabsorption is obser'ing if there are teeth indentations along the sides of the tongue. This is a ma!or indicator of malabsorption meaning that while the diet may be healthy the body isnHt effecti'ely absorbing the nutrients. 6ertical ridges on the fingernails are also a clear indicator. Malabsorption doesnSt ha'e to be only physical. 0 lack of concentration and a poor memory are also signs of a 'ata imbalance. Insomnia; restlessness ;cess 'ata can cause e;cessi'e mo'ement of the mind and a restless mind greatly hinders sleep. .auses of 'ata imbalance are: • • • •
irregular sleepingdry schedules freJuentlyeating eatingandor old lefto'er or raw food not eating enough food eating too rapidly eating standing or drinking water immediately before after meals
• • •
• •
suppression of bodily urges such as snee>ing passing gas or elimination staying up late o'erstimulation of the senses esp through electronic de'ices tele'ision 'ideo games internet# o'ere;ertion e;cessi'e worry fear or loneliness
Vata $rakriti 6aata naturally increases after *% yrs of age. The main remedy is oil massage for old people. 0 little bit of e;ercise is ok. Too much mo'ement is not good for them. 9uman urine A can be used as medicine but the condition is that one must be a $%%C 'egetarian. Gau mootra cowSs urine# is much better but only the $ st urine in the morning is to be used. The initial and last parts must be discarded and only the middle part must be consumed. This helps in around a hundred 'ata and kapha related illnesses.
'ealing Vata $roblems 6ata out of balance is the leading cause of diseases in the human body. il is the best thing to control 6ata both through ingestion and e;ternal application. 9owe'er the oil should be pure. 1efined oil is a poison: *&@ chemicals are used to refine oil and upto $) for double refined oil. il can only be refined using inorganic chemicals and these are almost always poisonous in nature. The stickiness of oil is its most important property. The moment this is remo'ed oil is no longer oil. The strong smell of oil is due to its protein content. Fhen this is remo'ed 'ia refining the oil becomes useless for the body. 0++M< doctors who researched oil ha'e concluded that any oil without stickiness and odour is useless to put it mildly. 9ence refined oil is actually causing heart problems rather than curing them. 1efined oils are being recommended by doctors !ust because of the commission that the oil companies dole out to them. 9D5 9igh Density 5ipo Protein# or the good cholesterol is produced by the li'er if you are eating unrefined oil. This helps the heart stay healthy without any fear of heart attacks. Many e;periments ha'e been conducted with heart patients: they were asked to stop all medication and start consuming pure and unrefined oil. Patients who had blockages and were on the 'erge of getting heart attacks showed tremendous impro 'ement in all parameters. Doctors could not belie'e the reports and called them a miracle. +n our culture festi'al s were created 'ery scientifically. The special foods and 'yan!ans that were prepared for different festi'als were designed to keep us healthy.
i. Finters: food during these festi'als were hea'y or garishtha or gurut'a. i.e. difficult or slow to digest. During the winter season it is better for the body if the food digests slowly rather than Juickly. +t matches with the body cycle as Pitta is less in winters while 'ata and 8apha are high which reduce the digesti'e fire.
Pitta is the fire element in the body: ,ire B Fater 7ontinued from /nderstanding 6ata Pitta represents the fire and water element in the body. +t has the Jualities of being hot light intense penetrating pungent sharp and acidic. 5ike molten la'a this is responsible fotr the hot fluids in the body.
