1. FOOD :
Maintain a balanced diet(which should contain all
six tastes)at the correct time and in a moderate
quantity. The concept of quantity of food to be
taken is only half of the stomach can be filled
with solid food, quarter with fluids and the rest
to be kept free for a proper assimilation.

2. WATER :
Drink 2 ½- 3 litres of water everyday. Take it
in moderate quantities at regular intervals. Too much
water intake delays digestion as it dilutes the digestive
juices and too little also delays the digestion as it
affects the assimilation of food.
3. SLEEP :
Sleep at least 6 hours a day. Early to bed and early to
rise is the best method. Ayurveda insists on getting up
in the morning before sunrise as an important routine
to keep up the health. Avoid sleep during the day as it
makes the person lethargic and regular daytime sleep leads
to put on weight.
4. EXERCISE :
Regular and moderate exercise is important to keep up
the health. Moderate means, any physical movement like
stretches/walking/jogging/any other physical exertion
till you sweat. Exercise beyond a limit deteriorates the
health and causes emaciation.
5. SEX :
The overall vital glow is the optimum presence of all
seven body tissues including the reproductive fluids (semen
for male and ovum and associated secretions in female).
Over indulgence in sex causes excessive drainage of these
fluids, which leads to deterioration of health and emaciation.
6. PERSONALHYGIENE :
Keeping the body and the surrounding clean is very important
to prevent possible diseases and to keep up the health.
7. BADHABITS :
Avoid smoking, alcohol, tobacco, gudkas, etc. as they
not only affects that individuals health but are also
injurious to his family and society.
9. ATTITUDE :
Be positive always. It enhances the mental and physical
well being. Note that mind and body are not two units.
Any mild problem affecting the mind affects the physical
health and vice versa.
8. NATURALURGES :
Never hold back natural urges such as flatus, urine, sneeze,
thirst, hunger, sleep, cough, yawning, vomiting and semen.
Hold back mental urges of greed, envy, hatred, jealousy,
love (desire), etc.
