Useful General Hints
A
balanced diet and adequate exercise are crucial factors for general
health and clear vision. However, in today's urban scenario people have
irregular eating habits, without enough exercise and usually live at an
hectic pace in the midst of considerable environmental pollution and
degradation. These factors are the grim, inevitable consequence of
modern life, far removed from a direct, earthy connection with nature.
The
pleasure of eating rich food saturated with fat and cholesterol, is
short-lived, as you eventually pay a heavy price for it with your
health. So, say no to heavy, spicy food whenever you can, since it
leads to a pain in the joints, cardiac problems, stomach ulcers,
migraine, backache besides skin and eye problems. Even medication and
treatment is ineffective if your diet is unsuitable.

meals at set hours can work wonders for your health. Have substantial
breakfast, a light lunch and dinner.Chew your food well. Milk and
certain milk products are recommended along with ayurvedic tonics
Chyavanaparsh or Drakshasava. Avoid high-calorie foods like ice-creams,
chocolates, milk-shakes, cakes, desserts, jams, jellies and aerated
drinks.
