It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.

This makes sense.... The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal.  However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food.. It will line the intestine.

Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

Correct timing take water …. Very important

Correct timing to take water will maximize its effectiveness to Human body.

 Two (02) glass of water - After waking up -  Helps activate internal organs

 One (01) glasses of water  - 30 minutes before meal - Help digestion

 One (01) glass of water - Before taking a bath - Helps lower blood pressure

 One (01) glass of water - Before sleep  - To avoid stroke or heart attacks

How to Reduce Weight

Everybody tries to reduce their weight by reducing food, but they will become weak instead of reducing weight. To reduce weight and to lead healthy life they have to avoid junk food.

Follow the steps:

1. Overweight people will have less blood. Drink raw vegetables juice one glass daily then blood will increase instead of weight.

2. Take lots of sprouts as breakfast instead of Idle, Dosa. But avoid coconut and peanuts.

3. Eat 3 or 4 Rotis instead of white rice in lunch with more vegetable curry (without salt and oil). If you eat more vegetables more fat will reduce because of vegetables are rich in Fibre. After rotis you can take some curd, but don’t take rice.

4. Drink one glass of fruit juice at evening 5’o clock; It will increase your blood but not weight.

5. Finish your dinner before 7’o clock, if you eat after 7’o clock then it will increase fat content. Because of early dinner your stored fat will burn.

6. Eat 2 or 3 rotis in dinner with more vegetable curry, don’t take curd and rice.

7. Perform some Yogasanas daily.

Once you follow the above food habits and som``e yoga asanas daily, definitely you will see a good result.

How to Gain Weight

Eat often

• Eat small, nutritious meals often; try five small meal-snacks a day.
• Set an alarm to remind yourself to eat.
• Have a full meal at the time of day when your appetite is best.
• Have a snack before you go to bed at night.
• Keep nutritious, high calorie snacks where you can see them and reach them easily.

Slowly increase your food

• It will take your body some time to get used to the extra food. Slowly increase how often and how much you eat. There are a lot of ideas in this handout, try a couple every few days. On different days you will want different foods. After some time, you may be able to eat a high calorie meal as shown on the last page.

Eat what you like

Have lots of your favourite foods around and eat these whenever you want. If meat and potatoes does not appeal to you at supper, try a bowl of hot cereal topped with fruit, nuts and cream.

Don’t fill up on low-calorie foods

• Limit plain coffee, tea, clear soup, diet drinks or raw, bulky vegetables. These fill you up but don’t

give you the calories that you need.

If you get tired easily, use quick and easy foods

• Buy ready-to-eat meals and foods such as TV dinners (not the light brands). Try pre-cooked

foods from the deli or salad bars at the grocery store.

• Buy “instant” cereals, soups, hot cocoa package mixes, noodle and rice mixes to which you just

add hot water.

• Order food by phone and have it delivered.

• Cook meals in advance and freeze them in single portions.

Choose high-calorie foods Fats are high in calories

• Add butter, margarine, mayonnaise, salad dressing, cream cheese, oil, gravy, sour cream, cool whip, whipping cream and cream sauces to recipes and foods.

• Fry or deep-fry foods in fat for extra calories.

 

Eat high-fat foods

• Buy regular, not “light” products.

• Meats that are high in fat include bacon, sausages, luncheon meats and spareribs.

• Drink whole milk with meals or as a snack. Try condensed milk and evaporated whole milk. Chocolate or strawberry milk, hot cocoa and instant breakfast mixes are good too. In cooking and in soup, use whole milk or cream (or try canned coconut milk). Use cream on cereal and in coffee and tea, and on desserts. Top pancakes with whipped cream.
 

Have protein at every meal

• Protein includes cheese, eggs, poultry, fish, meat, peanut butter, nuts, brown beans and lentils.

• If your appetite for meat is poor, serve it cold and sliced.

• Try cold sliced turkey on buttered bread or crackers, cheese chunks in salads, or peanut butter on apple slices.

• Add canned white beans or kidney beans to soup or casseroles.

• Chopped boiled egg can be added to casseroles or salads. Add an extra 1 or 2 eggs when making pancakes, cakes or muffins.

• Swirl a beaten egg into soup or into macaroni and cheese while it is cooking.

• Add grated cheese to soups, tacos, lasagna and ravioli.

• Add milk powder to soups, stews, casseroles, mashed potatoes, cereals and scrambled eggs. Or add a package of unflavoured gelatin into your soup, juice or milk.

Sugar

• Add sugar, honey or jam to your drinks and

foods.

• Try adding non-alcoholic drink mixes such as pina colada to ice-cream or milk shakes.

Snacks

• Try cheese and crackers, raisin toast with margarine or peanut butter, raisins and dried fruit, peanuts, sunflower seeds, almonds, “trail mix”, granola, olives, avocado pear, coconut, hard-cooked eggs, sandwiches, milk shakes or sweetened juice.

• Dip fruits in a mixture of sour cream and honey.

 

Desserts

• Choose ice cream, frozen yogourt, regular fruit yogourt, cheese with fruit, custards and puddings. To these desserts add chocolate chips, coconut, nuts, granola or cream.

• Foods as shown in Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating should always be the main part of your meals, but you can also have some high calorie desserts and sweets such as cakes, cookies, pies, donuts, chocolates, candies and soft drinks.

 

Buy high calorie drinks

• For example: Ensure, Boost, Resource or Sustacal are canned drinks that can be bought at drugstores and some grocery stores. Special products such as Resource Diabetic or Glucerna (for diabetes) or Pulmocare (for emphysema) may need to be ordered in by your pharmacist. These drinks are high in calories and have added vitamins and minerals.

• Add Instant Breakfast mix to your milk.

• As well as canned drinks, you can buy sugar and protein powders that you add to your foods for extra calories. Try other high-calorie foods that have vitamins added such as puddings, soups and bars.

• These bought drinks and foods are handy, but they do cost more than homemade kinds.

Eat out

• “Eat out” at a senior centre or restaurant.

Vitamin and mineral pills

• A“one-a-day” vitamin and mineral pill for a period of time may be good for you if you have lost a lot of weight or if you are not eating enough food. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use any vitamin pills, mineral

pills or herbal products.
