 When it comes to food, there is one of the most important things is that you must be conscious of is that on a certain day.

If you eat a certain type of food, whatever you eat, you must be consciously noticed how quickly does it digest and becomes a part of yourself.

Any food that you eat, if it lasts over 3 hours, that means you’ve eaten bad food, and it is something either should be avoided or reduced in quantity.

If the food is moved out of your stomach bag within 3 hours, that means you have eaten something that your system can handle efficiently.

It may not be the best food, but your system is capable of handling it.

And between one meal and the next meal, if you create a clear gap of 5-6 hours, and in between, there is no other ingestion, you will see the cleansing process in the system cellular level, cleansing will happen. This cleansing on the cellular level is most important and significant for a healthy life.

If you are over 30 of age, two meals a day, two good meals will suffice; one in the morning and one in the evening.

After the evening meal, before you go to bed, there must be at least a minimum of 3 hours and there is a certain amount of physical activity, not necessarily very heavy, or strenuous activity, but just simple walking or maybe a dance, or something like this.

Create something for yourself where for at least 20 to 30 minutes, there is some physical activity after the evening meal.

If you can do this, largely be healthy.

2. 喝溫蜂蜜水 .

In (貧血) Anemia, at one level, the body has lost its iron, which means you lost your steel. You lose the strength in your body, and you will feel exhausted, simply exhausted for nothing. Because once the necessary is not there, your ability to carry oxygen through the body is less. That means your heart, your brain, and everything will be on a lower level of function because you don’t have enough oxygen.

Therefore, building oxygen into the blood is one of the important things because how healthy the body is depends on how easily it rejuvenates itself and how high the level of oxygen is in the blood. And that capability may go down.

Particularly women have to be careful about this, because of the biological process that their hemoglobin (紅血球蛋白) may go down and their capability of carrying oxygen in the blood will come down which will make them feel unnecessarily exhausted. Consequently, it will make them look unintelligent.

If the RBC (血紅素) is low, you look dumb because there is not enough oxygen in the brain. And the brain and the body then do not function the way they need to function.

So in order to take care of this matter, one simple thing to do is you can consume a little bit of honey in warm water on a daily basis.

If there is more oxygen in your blood suddenly, you can feel a burst of energy.

Suddenly you feel active.

The rejuvenation system (修復系統) in the body is going up, and the dead cells are being replaced quickly. Consequently, the level of the inertial you feel in your body is much lower.

The inertial level you feel in your mind is much lower.

Honey has different types of impacts on the system.

If it is consumed raw, it has one kind of impact.

If it is consumed in cold water, it has another kind of impact.

If it is consumed in warm water, it has another kind of impact.

We want to consume it in warm water because we want the system to open up.

If you put it in the boiling water, some part of the honey will turn poisonous, so you won’t want to do this nor will you cook the honey.

I know in western societies, people are making honey cakes and stuff.

They are often cooking honey.

If it crosses a certain temperature, honey will turn poisonous.

Honey should be maintained at a drinkable temperature.

3. Sleep is a requirement in one’s life.

What the body requires is rest, not sleep.

Sleep is just one form of rest.

A lot of people are beginning to think that

In Nadu (泰米爾邦), if somebody says "pannikkaraanga", rest panic Ranga, it means that they are sleeping. It may not be so. You can sit and rest, isn’t it?

You can also stand and rest.

If you are running, and you stand. Doesn’t it feel like rest?

And if you are standing, and if you sit down, doesn’t it feel like rest.

There are many ways of resting.

The most important thing is that rest means you’re changing the energy equation, (能量方程式) where the consumption is lowered while the production keeps going on at the same pace. (消耗降低,但產出不變)

So after a period of time, you feel rejuvenated because consumption has been lowered.

Essentially, you are managing the energy equation.

If you are inaccurate activity, the consumption is more.

Whatever you’re producing, it’s not enough after some time.

You feel exhausted because the consumption has been heavy.

If you lower the consumption and increase the production, after some time, you will feel energized.

The ideal way to live is that there is no sleep in my life.

But that’s not possible, right?

Right now, the body has some inertial so the body sleeps the minimum.

The rest of the time, it is kept at ease.

If the body is kept at ease, then sleep does not occur to the body unless it comes to a certain point of exhaustion.

So your body is never ever asking for sleep but it is definitely asking for rest.

If you don’t know how to sit here in a restful manner, it will try to rest by falling asleep.

If you can sit here totally at ease, you will sit here for hours without falling asleep.

Otherwise, falling asleep is the only way it knows how to rest.

If you sit here now, one simple thing you can do is to move your attention from the top of your head down to your toes to see whether everything is loose, breezy, and relaxed at ease.

Or are you sitting very tensely?

Just bring the body at ease as much as you can.

Not everything is on your conscious level.

As much as you can consciously, bring it to ease, you will see suddenly you are the kind of people falling asleep at 22 o’clock before, if you just sit here at ease, simply for 1 hour, your sleep will get postponed by half an hour. You won’t feel sleepy at 22:00.

Naturally, you are awake.
