- Drink water 1 hour before or after food so that when you eat, your gastric juices will be in the right concentration to facilitate digestion.
- Do not eat when you?re not hungry. This will lead to indigestion and promote formation of toxins in the body.
- Avoid pastries and cakes as they get fermented in the system and may lead to constipation.
- Observe fasting atleast once a month. Drink only fresh fruit and vegetable juices on that day as it helps to clean the system.
- Eat atleast one fruit like a banana, guava or two slices of papaya every night at bedtime to facilitate bowel movement in the morning.
- Exercise regularly (preferably yogasana) 8 to 20 minutes every morning to keep the mind and body fresh, throughout the day.
- If you have a mild headache or stomachache, try applying a wet towel for a few minutes on the affected part. This sometimes helps to get over certain types of pains.
- Soak a teaspoonful of methi in half a cup of thick curd (not sour) for 2 hours. This can be consumed to control diarrhoea.
