Natural Health Weight Control
  • By Vidya Sagar Garg

2
Introduction
  • Weight loss
  • Disease Control
  • Cleansing of body, mind, and soul
  • Good health

3
Introduction (cont.)
  • An average person carries about 5 pounds of
    waste at all times. Going once definitely does
    not cleans the body, especially when one eats
    two or more meals a day. Hence, special attention
    is required for proper cleansing.

4
Life Sources
  • Water
  • Food
  • Air
  • Exercise

5
Water
  • Water is the nectar of life, and an essential
    factor for natural health and weight control.
  • Fresh or room temperature water cleanses better
    than cold water.
  • One needs to drink about 80 or more ounces of
    water a day. Each time drinking from a 16 ounce
    glass of water helps achieve this goal.

6
Food
  • Light, vegetarian food is suggested. Morning
    till lunch every effort should be made for
    cleansing
  • Drink a warm cup of water with fresh lime juice
    and a spoonful of honey.
  • Eat citrus fruit when hungry.
  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Eat only when hungry.
  • Do not hold even the slightest pressure, go as
    often as needed and sit as long as needed.

7
Air
  • Air is the breath of life. The Sanskrit word
    for air is Pran, meaning life. Deep into chest
    and lungs breathing is vital for a healthy body
  • Deep breathing should not be done with a full
    stomach.
  • Sit down in a clean and calm place.
  • Straighten out neck, shoulder, and the spine.
  • Always breath through the nose.
  • Breath out all the way while tucking your tummy
    in and hold as long as you can, without excessive
    force or discomfort.
  • Breath in as much as you can and hold as long as
    possible without excessive force or discomfort.
  • Release the air and breath normally.
  • Do the above 5-7 steps 3-21 times a day, based
    upon your stamina and time.

8
Exercise
  • Exercise is very important for the body, but
    excessive exercise harms the body.
  • Exercise only up to ½ of your body limit. More
    than that could be harmful.
  • During exercise you should breathe through your
    nose when you find it necessary to breathe
    through your mouth you have reached your half of
    the limit.
  • Another way to know if you have reached ½ of your
    limit is when underarms, head top, nose, hand
    joints, and feet begin to perspire.
  • After reaching ½ of your body limit, just slow
    down so you dont go over.

9
Exercise (cont.)
  • When it comes to exercise always remember S²
  • S Stretch
  • S Sweat

Combination of walking, jogging, yoga,
pranayama, or other forms of exercise can help
achieve the above.
10
The Bodys Digestive System
  • After eating, food is churned and digested.
  • Then the food passes through the small intestine
    where all the juices are extracted for the body.
  • Then the remaining food passes through the large
    intestine, to be discharged.
  • The whole process takes about twenty hours to
    complete for each meal. If the waste does not
    discharge in twenty hours, it harms the body by
    producing gases and other intoxicants.

Reasons for Constipation
  • Holding the pressure
  • Irregularity in meals
  • Sleep disturbance
  • Rushing while on the toilet
  • Postponing the pressure
  • Not consuming enough water
  • Mental stress
  • Intoxication
  • Overeating
  • Eating when not hungry
  • Not eating enough
  • Eating food without fiber
  • Not chewing enough while eating
  • Eating unhealthy food
  • Taking medicine for constipation
  • Shallow breathing
  • Lack of exercise

13
Bowel Movement
  • One needs to go at least 3 times a day. After
    every 20 hours of each meal, one needs to go.
    Anything less than that is considered
    constipation. Constipation is the root cause of
    weight gain or loss, and many diseases and
    sicknesses. For proper bowel movement, one needs
    to do the following
  • Do not hold even the slightest amount of
    pressure.
  • Do not use excessive force.
  • Relax and sit on the seat for 10-15 minutes.
  • Normally it comes in 2 installments.
  • Sometimes pushing on the left side of the stomach
    with a hand helps to release the flow.

14
Things To Remember
  • Until your body is clean from one meal (i.e.
    breakfast, lunch, or dinner) try not to eat the
    same meal again.
  • It takes about 20 hours for a meal to digest and
    release.
  • Keeping more than one meal of the same kind in
    the body spells constipation.
  • Every bite of food should be thoroughly chewed
    before swallowing.
  • Drinking water from a 16 ounce glass helps
    achieve the daily recommended water intake.
  • Drink juices and mixture of warm water with honey
    and lime in 10 ounce servings.
  • Eat fruit as a snack between meals.
  • Keep a set meal time for each meal.
  • Plan ahead and eat accordingly to be hungry at
    your meal time.
  • Eat sensibly. Avoid chemicals, highly processed
    food and harmful drinks.
  • It is very important to eat, since bowel movement
    occurs only when the next meal is eaten and
    digested.

15
Food To Cure Constipation
  • People over the age of 40 should minimize the
    consumption of beans and lentils.
  • Prefer whole wheat products over rice.
  • Eat rice with bran.
  • Drink twice a day 1 ounce of cracked wheat soak
    an ounce of cracked wheat in 5 ounces of milk for
    2 hours prior to drinking.
  • Always consume the water from boiled vegetables.
  • Consume 125 grams of raw vegetables (salad), and
    500 grams of cooked vegetables.
  • Consume seasonal fruits. Almost all fruits have
    a lot of fiber which is a good source to cure
    constipation.

16
Food To Cure Constipation (cont.)
  • Milk/yogurt may be consumed depending upon its
    favorable effect on ones body.
  • Small portions of oils (i.e. butter, oily nuts)
    are also beneficial.
  • Less fiber vegetables (i.e. potatoes, sweet
    potatoes, and zucchini, etc.) should be consumed
    along with other vegetables.

17
Curing Severe Constipation
  • In extreme cases an enema, juice, and milk diet
    becomes very important
  • Drink only juices (orange, tomato, spinach) for
    4-5 days.
  • Juice extracted from 1 pound of spinach is an
    excellent cleanser during juice days.
  • After juice start drinking 1 milk for several
    days as follows
  • Take enema twice a day during this time.

18
Portions/Fasting
  • Portions
  • The recommendation is to fill up stomach ½ with
    food, ¼ with water, and ¼ leaving empty for air
    to pass through.
  • Fasting
  • One day a week fasting is good for intestine
    and colon. During fasting you must drink plenty
    of water. During this time, taking enema is
    highly recommended.

Enema
  • Enema is very important to cure constipation.
    If it does not cleans by taking it one time, it
    can be taken a second or third time as well. The
    best time to take enema is in the morning after
    the bowel movement. If you need enema for
    several days, take it at night before bed time.
    It will help in a good nights sleep along with
    other benefits.

24
Process of Enema
  • An enema pouch can be purchased from the drug
    store.
  • Drink 16 ounces of warm or fresh water before
    taking enema.
  • Do not eat or drink anything within 3-4 hours
    except water.

25
Water Preparation
  • Water intake should be as much as one feels
    comfortable.
  • Water temperature should be as hot as the hands
    can bear. Hot water cleanses better.
  • Take 3 quarts of water, add 1 ounce of strained
    lime juice, 1 ounce of honey, and ½ ounce of salt
    to the water.
  • Before taking enema, release some water from the
    bag in order to take out the air from the tubing.

26
Taking Enema
  • Hang the water pouch at no more than 4 feet high.
    Higher than that makes the water go in faster
    which causes pressure sooner.
  • Put some Vaseline or oil on the tube before
    inserting it into the rectum. After enema wash
    the tube with soap and water.
  • You can lay down on your back or bend over on
    your knees and elbows.

27
Enema-Miscellaneous
  • If you feel bowel movement pressure in the middle
    of taking enema, one should take it again if you
    do not feel enough clean.
  • After taking enema it is good to wait for 3-4
    minutes and turn from left to right before using
    the toilet.
  • It should take you 8-10 minutes to take 3 quarts
    of water.
  • You may need to go a second time for total
    cleansing.
  • Normally taking enema once a day is enough, but
    in rare conditions you may need to take it twice.

28
Enema-Miscellaneous (cont.)
  • Make sure the toilet is very near to where you
    take enema.
  • Along with other exercises, enema is very helpful
    for a pregnant women before giving birth.
  • Taking a shower after taking enema is good for
    the body.
  • Wait 3-4 hours after eating to take enema.
  • It is very important to take enema during a fast.
    Fasting is harmful without enema. Fasting
    becomes easier by taking enema. During fasting
    there is no food pressure to cause bowel
    movement, therefore, the waste releases poisons
    in the body which cause discomfort.

29
Other Cleansing Options
  • Hot water pad on the stomach.
  • Mud pad on the stomach.
  • Ice pad on the stomach.
  • Hot/Cold hip bath.
  • Steam bath.
  • Daily walks.

30
Use of Mud for Constipation
  • To cure constipation from the root the right
    amount of food, sleep, and exercise are most
    important. But for external help, enema, mud and
    hip baths are also used.
  • When the waste stays in the colon for several
    days, it causes heat and begins to smell.
    Because of heat and its reaction, waste becomes
    hard and over dried making it hard to pass
    through. Mud cools the surrounding areas,
    stiffness caused by heat gets released, and the
    colon gets the movement.
  • A mud pad as well can be used on an injury,
    head heaviness, stomach ache, pimples, etc.

31
Hip Bath
  • A hip bath is very important in water cure for
    constipation. It affects the colon. Water cools
    the surroundings areas, the chill from the water
    helps the dead, stiff colon come to life and
    start its action to discreet waste.
  • Fill up a bathtub with coldest bearable water.
    When sitting in it the water should come up to
    your navel. It can either be a hip bath or a
    full body bath.
  • While sitting in the tub, rub your stomach with a
    wash towel from left to right, and right to left.
    Make sure to do it gently and not peel the skin.

32
Hip Bath (cont.)
  • Take a bath for 10-20 minutes. Thin people take
    a 10 minute bath and overweight people take a
    bath for a maximum of 20 minutes. In winter the
    time should be reduced to 75.
  • A hip bath should start with 1-2 minutes and
    increase by 1 minute daily up to the time
    allowed.
  • In cold weather, rub your body for 5 minutes
    prior to your bath. This will make bearing the
    cold water easier.
  • After your bath, wipe yourself with a dry towel,
    put on your clothes, and do some light exercise-
    walk, yoga, etc. If one cannot do any exercise,
    they should cover themselves with a blanket and
    lay down for half an hour. Light exercise is
    very important to benefit from the bath.

33

    foundation for constipation. Always go when
    needed.
