Healthy lifestyle, good eating habits and regular exercises/yoga are the most important factors of life for maintaining mental peace, stress free life and good health without medicines and outside support. For maintaining good health and peaceful life, old saying depicts “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise” But we have either forgotten or ignored all the principles and mantras set by our ancestral for leading a happy and peaceful life.

Now days, in this materialistic world, most of the people are leading very hectic lives. They do not follow a disciplined lifestyle. They have a myopic outlook towards life i.e., to earn money and to accumulate all the luxurious things in whatever way possible, no matter even if the peace of mind, health, good sleep, family life etc is sacrificed. The unorganized and haphazard life schedule, bad eating habits are the primary cause of developing various diseases such as anxiety, hypertension, sleeping disorder, blood sugar and even heart problem. Not devoting the quality time with family or even being present at home but due to preoccupation of mind somewhere else, ignoring /postponing the day to day needs of family members, are the main reasons of dissatisfaction amongst the family members and sometimes may lead to disintegration of the family.

To remain physically and mentally fit, and also to avoid overlapping of work at a time, one has to allocate the time according to necessity and importance of work. Everybody must have to follow a time schedule for getting up in the morning, doing regular exercises/yoga, taking food, sleeping etc. Allocation of the time for day-to-day activities will release pressure from the mind and prevent unwarranted anxiety and the person will be able to concentrate on his work and accomplish the same more efficiently in lesser time.

To maintain the strength, flexibility, endurance and balance everyone must has to do regular exercises and yoga. Brisk walking in the morning for   twenty minutes or jogging, along with doing stretching exercises, asana and yoga’s(PRANAYAM) is the best way to prevent the diseases. Anulom bilom pranayam i.e. inhaling the air from one nostril and releasing from the other for ten minutes in the morning keeps the mind cool and Control anger, anxiety and blood pressure.

People with positive mind set have a solution oriented approach towards life and thus, are more likely to succeed .PMS makes us assertive, confident and proactive. A positive attitude definitely strengthens our mind and body and improves the quality of our life. Every positive statement-’ we are healthy and strong’ and repeating the same in the morning will make ourselves to take action to be strong and healthy. Repeating the positive statement leads to a healthier life style. Similarly we must also be focused towards our goal, as being not focused on the present whether we are eating, exercising or doing any work and thinking the next thing that we have to do, may lead to anxiety. If we do enjoy our food, work whatever we do, we will be more productive, less worried and mentally and physically healthier.

We should avoid junk and spicy food. Intake of fats in the meals should be reduced to keep cholesterol and triglycerides in control. We should also fix our meals times and there must be gap of at least two hours between dinner and sleeping time.
