Tips For A Long  Healthy And Happy Life

Modern medical technology can never save you from the problems caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Instead of getting a modern medical fix for every problem, it is far better to live in such a way that you will hardly ever fall ill. Here are seven tips on how to live a long and healthy life.

1. Get Enough Exercise

In the past people had to use their physical bodies in the course of their normal work. But today someone may get up, go to work in a car, then sit down, get up to go home in the car and when arriving at home, sit down again for the rest of the day

2. Go to sleep when you feel sleepy

This may sound simple, but many people stay up late even when their body is telling them that it is time to sleep. Yoga and Ayurvedic doctors also say that it is better to sleep in the night and be active during the day. Others develop the habit of remaining active at night and sleeping during the day.
While we can do this, it eventually takes a toll on health. Alternative health doctors say that this kind of unnatural living is one of the contributing factors in the causation of cancer and other disease

 3.  Fast on a Regular, Systematic Basis 

If you would ask any person to work 365 days per year without any rest, they would complain and say that they must have some rest or else they will break down. But we have never bothered to ask or to think about our digestive organs which we compel to work day after day without a rest. That is why periodic fasting is necessary. Refrain from eating for one complete day. This gives a rest to your digestive organs and also helps in the elimination of wastes from your body. Your body is linked to your mind.

 4. Eat when you feel hungry

This is also a simple idea, but once again we often go against the messages of the body.

Having an appetite is actually a sign of good health, but if you have no appetite you should wait a bit and then eat. That is why periodic fasting is necessary.

5. Get up early every day 

Once again the old proverb, "Early to bed, early to rise makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise. "I don't know if it will make you wealthy, but it will certainly make you healthy Your body needs just enough sleep, not too much and not too little. 

6. Perform meditation on a regular basis

Your body is linked to your mind. Many of the diseases of this era are psychosomatic. Meditation is a mental exercise which, among other things, allows you to detach yourself from the worries of life. Learn a simple technique and do it regularly.

7. Wash with cool water before going to bed. 

As mentioned above, proper sleep is essential for the maintenance of health. If you wash your important motor and sensory organs (hands, arms, eyes, legs, mouth, genitals) before sleep using cool water, this will relax you and prepare you for deep sleep. Follow these tips and you can't go wrong.
