NEVER too much about WATER

Water and You
Photo from:http://katchphoto.blogspot.com/
There are three requisites for our body for its smooth functioning - air, water, food, in that order. Air is the first requisite for us to live since we cannot survive for more than few moments without breathing oxygen. Water is not in first place because we can survive for a few days without drinking water, whereas we can survive for a few months even without food. It shows that food is the last requisite for the body. If we fulfill the requirements accordingly, our body will not be affected.

If our health is affected, it goes without saying that we are committing some mistake somewhere. It may not appear as a mistake and so we are unmindful of it. But it affects the body. There is no chance for us to commit any mistake in regard to the first requisite. But the problem comes with the second and third. There is 67 % of water in our body. The rest 33% is solid which consists of bones, muscles, nerves, etc.

Nature around us consists of two third water and one third of land. The same way our body has two third of water and one third of solid. Based on this truth, we should give importance to food and water in the same proportion. It means we should take two-third of water and eat one third of food. But we reverse the ratio in practice.
What we do everyday? We eat 70% food and drink 30% water. Analyze for yourself whether more quantity of water is going into your stomach or more solid food. Why are we reversing the importance of our fundamental needs? I can think of only one reason. The food is tasty whereas water is insipid and it releases more of urine. So we turned our second need to third need and food as our second need and we made our lives accordingly.
When we reverse the basic needs of our body, how do we expect good health? We ignore the fact that how water is helpful and assume that eating food is a healthy sign. So we tend to eat more. Observe any mother or wife in any family. She gives more importance to food than to water and coaxes her husband or child thus – “Oh, dear, why don’t you eat a little more?” “Please baby, eat one more apple. It will give you energy.”

When a child is drinking water, his mother will snatch away that glass and will fondly give him a glass of milk. Even before the husband can digest the food he has consumed today, the wife asks him affectionately what to cook for the next day. She thinks that “the best way to win a man’s heart is through his stomach,” and so prepares many mouth-watering dishes.

Strictly speaking if we give second place to water, do you know how the words of concern should be “Dear, you drink this glass of water, too!” “Shall I serve you some more water?” “How many liters of water did you drink today?”

Of course food is important to lead our life smoothly, but not as much as water.

Water and health

What is Nasal Cleaning?

Jala Neti, or nasal cleansing using warm salty water, is a very ancient technique which has been passed on for thousands of years by the Yogis for both physical as well as deeper spiritual benefits. Now is possibly a time of the greatest need for such a practice by modern people. With the ever increasing incidence of respiratory illnesses such as asthma, allergies, hayfever, sinusitis, colds, influenzas, etc, as well as the rapid degeneration of spiritual consciousness in some sections of society, the practice of Jala Neti could serve as a panacea for helping to improve the lives of many people. Neti is a practice which is very beneficial to the cleanliness of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, as well as the thinking processes.

Benefits of Neti
· Neti removes all the dirt and bacteria filled mucus from within the nose.
· It also helps to drain the sinus cavities. This, in turn, will help to reprogram the body's natural mechanisms against nasal infections such as hayfever, allergies, sinusitis and other upper respiratory complaints like sore throats and coughs, post nasal drip, inflammation of tonsils and adenoids.
· It is beneficial for illnesses such as asthma and bronchitis as it reduces the tendency for mouth breathing by freeing the nostrils of mucus.
· It has a cooling and soothing effect on the brain by drawing out excessive heat, and is therefore beneficial for headaches, migraine, epilepsy, temper tantrums, hysteria, depression and general mental tension.
· Neti is of great benefit for problems associated with the eyes. It helps flush the tear ducts, encouraging better vision and gives a sparkle to the eyes.
· It can be beneficial for certain types of ear disorders such as middle ear infections, glue ear and tinitis.
· Neti improves sensitivity of the olfactory nerves, helping to restore lost sense of smell, and thereby benefits the relationship with taste and digestive processes.
· It has subtle effects on the pineal and pituitary glands which control the hormonal system. This has a harmonizing effect on emotional behaviours.
· Neti affects the psychic centre known as Ajna Chakra which helps in awakening higher states of meditation.
· It helps to stimulate better powers of visualisation and concentration and gives a feeling of lightness and clarity to the mind.
· Neti is excellent for those trying to give up smoking. Since it reduces the tendency for mouth breathing, Neti re-sensitises the nose to the actual pollution of ingesting smoke, thereby de-programming the brain of the physical and psychological addiction.

Jala Neti - Ancient Secrets - Nasal Cleaning Pot

It is well known that drinking milk and consuming other dairy products can cause nasal blockages. Also it is known that this trapped mucus is an excellent breeding ground for viruses and other infectious disease.

This Nasal Pot I bought at the Pharmacy.
I payed $18. It is very good.

But I found many good and nice pots at
Amazon.com
I like to buy through Amazon.

There we can buy them cheaper:

What is good health?

Are you healthy?

Generally, we feel we are healthy if our blood tests, X-rays and scans are normal. On the other hand, if there is a trace of sugar in your blood test, you fear you’ve become diabetic. But neither of these is true. You don’t develop diabetes on the day you had your test done or three/ four days prior to that! It is a result of the decay of your cells for ages. Can we foresee cancer in the blood tests? No! We get ourselves tested two or three times a year and boast of ourselves that we are healthy. In a way we are cheating our selves.
If your body cells are pure and clean you are a healthy person. Now you test yourself if you are really healthy. You need no checkups and no reports.

To judge if you are healthy -

- You shouldn’t have bad breath even if you don’t brush your teeth for a few days. Your saliva also does not smell bad. Then you are healthy.

- You should be able to bathe without body soap. Your body should not give off a smell even if you have not bathed for two or three days. It shows you have good health.

- Your sweat should not stink. The clothes you wear, even if you wear them continuously for a few days, should not have a bad odor. That’s a healthy sign.

- Your urine shouldn’t have a foul smell or a bad odor. Then you are totally healthy.

- Your motion should not give off a bad odor. It should instead smell like the food you ate. If that is the case, you have wonderful health.

Those who win on the above five tests don’t need any further testing. There is no doubt about it.
The waste matter produced in the cells travels from the cells to the excretory organs and from there back to cells. In result they pollute the body and the cells. The water in the cells receives the stinking smell from the cells and flows all over the body. This is the smell we experience when waste materials leave the body.

Flowers don’t give a stinking smell. Garbage doesn’t smell better even if you pour perfume over it. Same way the stink inside our body cannot be concealed by any number of toothpastes, soaps, powders, perfumes, scents, or sprays over the body or in the toilets.

We are not cleaning enough inside our bodies. If we don’t do that, however much we clean the body externally it is not helpful. What’s the use of washing our hands if our feet are dirty? But that is what we are doing!

We should allow our inner body to clean itself. Natural food keeps the cells healthy producing lesser waste. Fasting once in a while gives rest to the intestines. If we fast on honey, it gives instant energy and the waste material will be sent out of the cells, keeping them clean. That's why fasting is compared to penance. Fasting makes the body holy. In those who fast regularly, stinking disappears and new cells form fast making the body energetic.

Don't you want to live life long without any disease? Then, eat only natural food. Enjoy the tastes of nature as they are! In return, you will have perfect health as long as you live. Realize that Health is Happiness and Wealth too! You can prove that good health is not beyond the reach of man! source:
