As good as modern medical technology is, it can never save you from
the problems caused by a life style that is unhealthy. Instead of
getting a modern medical fix for every problem, it is far better to live
in such a way that you will hardly ever fall ill.
An ounce of prevention is certainly better than a pound of cure. Here
are seven tips on how to live a long and healthy life. In addition, the
same life style that helps you to avoid illness also helps you to lose
weight.
1. Get Enough Exercise
In the past people had to use their physical bodies in the course of
their normal work. But today someone may get up, go to work in a car,
then sit down, get up to go home in the car and when arriving at home,
sit down again for the rest of the day. In such a life there is no
physical labor. This physical inactivity is one of the main reasons for a
host of diseases. Sport, running. walking and other things must be
added to our life if our normal work does not require us to exert
ourselves physically. I

2. Go to sleep when you feel sleepy
This may sound simple, but many people stay up late even when their body
is telling them that it is time to sleep. Yoga and Ayurvedic doctors
also say that it is better to sleep in the night and be active during
the day. However, people such as students will take coffee and
stimulants to study late into the night. Others develop the habit of
remaining active at night and sleeping during the day. While we can do
this, it eventually takes a toll on health. Alternative health doctors
say that this kind of unnatural living is one of the contributing
factors in the causation of cancer and other diseases
3. Eat when you feel hungry
This is also a simple idea, but once again we often go against the
messages of the body. If you eat out of habit or due to social pressure
at certain time of the day, even when you have no real appetite, then
you will not digest your food properly. Acidity and indigestion begin,
and this contributes to the likelihood of other more complex diseases
taking root. Having an appetite is actually a sign of good health, but
if you have no appetite you should wait a bit and then eat. (If you have
no appetite even after awaiting a reasonable amount of time, then you
should consult a doctor because something is wrong.)

4.Fast on a Regular, Systematic Basis
If you would ask any person to work 365 days per year without any rest,
they would complain and say that they must have some rest or else they
will break down. But we have never bothered to ask or to think about our
digestive organs which we compel to work day after day without a rest.
They cannot protest the way a person would to his boss, but they do give
us signals that they cannot work non-stop. When we ignore those signals
and still compel them to work, those organs break down. That is why
periodic fasting is necessary. Refrain from eating for one complete day.
This gives a rest to your digestive organs and also helps in the
elimination of wastes from your body. Regular fasting allows a person to
gain extra time for intellectual or spiritual pursuits. Fasting is not
for hermits in a cave, but is a sensible practice that anyone can
practice.
5. Wash with cool water before going to bed
As mentioned above, proper sleep is essential for the maintenance of
health. If you wash your important motor and sensory organs (hands,
arms, eyes, legs, mouth, genitals) before sleep using cool water, this
will relax you and prepare you for deep sleep.

6. Perform meditation on a regular basis
Your body is linked to your mind. Many of the diseases of this era are
psychosomatic. Stress and anxiety take their toll on our physical
health. Meditation is a mental exercise which, among other things,
allows you to detach yourself from the worries of life. Learn a simple
technique and do it regularly.
7. Get up early every day
Once again the old proverb, “Early to bed, early to rise makes a person
healthy, wealthy and wise.” I don’t know if it will make you wealthy,
but it will certainly make you healthy. Your body needs just enough
sleep, not too much and not too little.
