Ideal Daily Schedule
Following is an ideal schedule to maintain good health, to prevent and cure any ailments. One can make it suitable to their convenience depending on their job or work schedule. On the whole it is the consumption of five liters of water and food at regular times systematically, that will help us live long disease free.
- Get up from bed early in the morning, between 4 and 6 am. Drink 1.25 – 1.50 liters water. Keep your mind on intestines concentrated. Move around. You will be rushed for first round of ablution.
- After 30 minutes of taking first round of water exert body by walk or exercise or yoga or some work for an hour until it perspires. This helps muscles, veins and blood circulation.
- Drink another 1 – 1.50 liters of water after physical exercise. Concentrate and try for second ablution. If it happens freely it is all right otherwise giveup the effort.
- If one does not have free ablution after the above routine or has only a little or unsatisfactory ablution or those with a history of chronic constipation - better go for enema after the second dose of water intake. Enema may be continued till digestive system comes back to normalcy.
- Stop taking coffee and tea. Fresh juice better in the morning. Juice of raw vegetables is a waking up call for intestines. Drink juice of snake gourd, ribbed gourd, bottle gourd, cucumber, carrot, tomato, beetroot etc. Add four spoons of honey (one or two for diabetics) and limejuice to it. It can also be taken without filtering it if it is ground softy. Otherwise, any fresh fruit juice or limejuice with honey is also good.
- After one hour of drinking juice eat any food for breakfast take sprouted cereals or beans as breakfast. But they are not helpful for those who have constipation. And those who are required to go for enema in the morning should eat papaya, pomegranate, clustered apple, mango, dates etc. for breakfast. They generate hunger. They are easily digestible, and move freely down the intestines. Diabetics should not eat fruits. Those who have no gas problem and are not hungry should immediately start eating sprouted beans, raw coconut, and dates e in the morning. Sprouted cereals and beans should be soaked in water in the morning, drained in the night and tied in a cloth to drain water. After two days they sprout. If you are a diabetic don’t eat dates. After one week of stopping enema one can eat sprouts. 10–15 dates can be eaten a day.
- Take one liter of water in installments after two hours from breakfast and half an hour before lunch.
- Take lunch between 1 and 2 P.M. Do not eat white rice. Eat cooked brown rice or Wheat bread (rotis/pulkas) without oil. The vegetables to be eaten in lunch should weigh at least one pound/half a kilogram. Salt, oil, ghee, sweats, dry chili and spices – should be avoided completely. If you cannot avoid them, reduce their consumption to 1/3. You can take fresh curd.
- Don’t drink while eating. Take a liter of water after two hours of lunch.
- In the afternoon between 4 and 5 pm take a glass of juice of orange, citrus fruit, pomegranate or any other fruit. A spoon of honey can be added to it. In place of juice, fruits can also be eaten. If both are not available mix honey in lemon juice. If you are not too hungry fill the stomach with water.
- Between 6 and 7 in the evening drink a liter of water again and concentrate your mind on ablution.
- After 30 minutes of taking water complete the dinner. If you take dinner early digestion process is completed before you go to bed and the faces are ready in the intestines. The secret of health is early dinner.
Those who are not hungry, or suffer from indigestion and heaviness in stomach or have lost appetite should take available fruits instead of cooked food. Dates can be added to the list to avoid weakness. Fruits are easily digestible. Give rest to intestines and create hunger. If your appetite is normal and all other health aspects are in order then you can take 2–3 wheat breads (rotis) and avoid rice. If after 20–30 days constipation dissipates a small quantity of rice can be resumed. Don’t eat anything after the main meals. After two hours of having dinner drink one or two glasses of water or buttermilk. If awake until 10 or 11 in the night, drink lemon juice with honey, if necessary.
At first glance this schedule may look long and complicated, as we are used to fast and instant foods. If you look at it closely you will appreciate it as simple and natural. You may wonder if five liters of water can be consumed at all. Its consequential frequent urination may scare you. But they are all initial apprehensions only. As you move ahead with the schedule you will find it easy and its resultant benefits plenty.
