Avoid taking milk products but fresh and sweet buttermilk is recommended. Take good amount of vegetables, salad, fresh sweet fruits, dry fruits and sweet fruit juices to energize your body and mind. Eat pulses and dry beans moderately to keep your body weight under control. Avoid eating sugar and soybean products. To replace sugar, jaggery or honey should be used. In place of wheat products, eat multigrain flour consisting of Jowar, Bajra and Nachni for good health. Gluten in wheat is the main cause of host of stomach disorders. Your food intake should be 80 percent alkaline and 20 percent acidic. Exercise regularly, or you can adopt a habit of going for brisk walk daily. Drink sufficient water daily to flush out toxins from the body. Take proper eight hour sleep daily. Urinate before and after meal. Drink a glass of water after urination. Brush your teeth before going to bed at night to keep them healthy, strong and disease free. Avoid stress and face the discomfort with utmost patience. Treat your constipation in the first place to bring regular bowel movements. Listen and enjoy soft music to sooth your body and mind as music is always good for health. You should avoid anger, hatred, and adopt a habit to forgive all. Praying God will bring peace and courage to fight the illness since prayers have more powers than medicines. Make a habit of donating money, food, and clothes to poor and needy people. Accept everything calmly and make a promise to do well, and to be of some help to others after recovering from your present sufferings. Take care and stay healthy! Best regards, Kunwar Singh
