Drinking a glass of warm water cleanses the digestive canals and wipes out oily substances and thus stimulating the bowels. This boosts and refreshes your entire digestive system making it perfect and all set for the digestion process. Bowel motions twice [at least once] a day [morning and evening] is a good sign of a healthy digestive system. Drink a cup of bottle gourd juice twice a week on an empty stomach which definitely controls body fat.

2. EXERCISE REGULARLY

Adopt a method of exercise to follow up daily. Exercise at-least 20 - 30 minutes daily in the morning. Yoga for health is much recommended as it not only makes your body healthy but also relaxes your mind too. Follow up a routine for the daily exercise. Learning yoga from a guru is recommended. Surya Namaskar, a simple yoga workout is a good choice.

3. EAT A VERY HEALTHY 3 MEALS A DAY

Eating 3 satisfying meals a day without consuming any in-between junk foods is very important. Although much more important is, only eat when you feel hungry otherwise take some fresh juice, pure water, tender coconut or any other natural liquid food. Feeling hungry is the strong signal given by the digestive system of our human body for intake of food. Prefer organic foods as much as possible. Avoid oily foods with high-fat content. Add spices like Ginger, garlic and cumin seed to your food preparation which helps with the easy digestion. Add more fresh vegetables and green leaves to your daily food menu. Avoid overeating. Take a moderate breakfast, strong lunch and a very light dinner. Never drink water while eating unless very necessary, as it may affect the digestion process. Always drink luke warm water.



4. PRACTICE MEDITATION REGULARLY

Meditation is one of the best methods to calm your inner-self and get focused on whatever work you do. As a healthy mind is a base to a healthy body and vice versa. If you already know a method of meditation, follow it regularly.

5. GET A SOUND SLEEP DAILY

Ayurveda points out that one of the most important reasons for the base of all diseases is, staying awake late into the night, thus not providing enough rest and relaxation to our mind and body. A sound sleep is like a layman's meditation which re-installs and refreshes all the positive energy back to our mind and body. So it is very important that you go to bed at-least by 9 to 9.30 p.m and wake up before sunrise that is before 6.00a.m. Never sleep in the day time or more than 6 hours a day.

These 5 easy steps if followed properly and regularly can produce amazing results. The process would be gentle and steady without doing any harm to your body, unlike other instant methods which claim quick results.
