My 14 day diet once in every quarter:

Green, Red and Orange Juices

Its great experience in reducing extra fat & cleansing the toxins. Let me brief on my health diet in the morning, I take full solid meal.. meaning gluten-free Oats with organic fruits: berries, pomegranate, apple, banana, dates, and seeds like chia, hemp, flax, and soaked nuts: walnut and almonds. plus add 1 tsp coconut oil (optional). this way there is no chance of losing any nutrients & protein in the diet! All this tasty mixture i take in the AM for breakfast. Before this morning meal couple hour ago i take one full glass of wheatgrass juice with raw honey mixed and organic whey protein powder. Even today i regularly take in the morning wheatgrass juice, and its been more than a year now, till today no cold, no cough, no fever. no health issues. isn't it amazing ?? along with this i do very simple Yoga.  In between the two meals, i drink good amount of water. Whereas in the afternoon my diet will have two glasses of carrot juice with beets and oranges or apples. this gives me again full of vitamins and minerals. so there is no chance of anemia! Let me explain more.. our body never asks for oily, junk, or bad fatty foods. it only craves for pure nutrition food where you find them in veggies, seeds, fruits, gluten-free grains, pulses, etc... Again remember never drink juices only fruits alone as the fructose goes directly into the bloodstream which will raise your sugar levels which is not good for the body. Take juices made with veggies + fruit.  In the dinner, i take one full glass of green veggie juice with one or two fruits like green apples or oranges added to it. For dessert, i take homemade healthy peanut chikki made with sesame seeds and jaggery. Before going to bed drink lemon juice in the small glass without adding any sugar. By following this 14-day saltless diet, I have lost 7 pounds of weight and felt more energetic and active than before.

Four principle ways of drinking the water for Good Health:
1. DO NOT drink water during or after the meal. Give a gap of 1 to 2 hours. Otherwise, it develops obesity. During the meal to clear the throat, take milk/buttermilk or carrot juice in small sips.
2. DO NOT drink cold water at all.
3. ALWAYS drink water slowly sip by sip.
4. FIRST thing in the morning drink one big glass of water.

Recognize fruits and vegetable label numbers (PLU# Price Look-Up) in the market:
•If it is a 4-digit number, the food is conventionally produced. PLU code consists of 4 numbers (e.g. 4012).
•If it is a 5-digit number beginning with an 8, it is GM (Genetically Modified). However, do not trust that GE foods will have a PLU identifying it as such because PLU labeling is optional. PLU code consists of 5 numbers and begins with 8 (e.g. 84012).
•If it is a 5-digit number beginning with a 9, it is organic. PLU code consists of 5 numbers and begins with 9 (e.g. 94012)

Magical Wheatgrass drink: is one of the most healthy substances, energy drink on earth. Wheatgrass has the highest beta carotene, chlorophyll and many other nutrients like protein, vitamin E, potassium, calcium, magnesium. Drinking daily (30 ml) of wheatgrass juice helps you in building blood, protects you from illness, helps in removal of acne (pimples), removal of scars, helps in healing any skin problems such as eczema or psoriasis. Wheatgrass keeps the hair from graying, helps a sore throat, eliminates toothaches, improves digestion, clears the bad breath. Wheatgrass improves blood sugar problems, helps purify the liver, helps the tissues in refining, also cleans the drugs deposits from the body. It is a powerful detoxifier, and liver and blood protector. The enzymes and amino acids found in wheatgrass can protect us from carcinogens like no other food or medicine. It strengthens our cells, detoxifies the liver and bloodstream, and chemically neutralizes environmental pollutants.

(*You can find the Wheatgrass powder on sale at Fruitful Yield & Wholefoods store. I take this every morning on empty stomach 1tsp of Wheatgrass with a glass of water & raw honey.).

For Light Dinners---> Try foods which are in light contains Vitamin B (Bananas, Spinach, Brown Mushrooms), Calcium(Cereals, Oranges, grass-fed cow's or Almond Milk),  Zinc(Soaked Nuts), Copper (Beans, Nuts, Dark leafy Greens), Bitter Melon... All these have the calming properties gives you GOOD NIGHT SLEEP.  


*Avoid any caffeine products or nicotine before going to bed.

*(Optional) for constipation, drink milk in a small glass with ghee in the night before going to bed, this helps in constipation relaxation.

*Ayurveda suggests sitting on the floor with folded legs while having the meal, this way it helps to reduce the tummy. (Note: Never sleep right away after the dinner). For better health, some western countries are also planning to approve to sleep for 30 minutes in the office right after the lunch meal is done.

*Drinking water will boost your metabolism and keep your kidneys function effectively.

*Drink more pure warm water when wanting to lose weight. Sometimes dehydration may make you feel like hunger, and the water will help you feel full for longer, and your appetite will decrease. (Note: Never drink water with your meal, drink only after 2 hours of the gap, otherwise the acids which released in the stomach for digestion will be diluted and it takes longer time to digest the food.).

*Tip: Eating with bare hands makes you eat more, instead try eating by fork or spoon. Another good tip is to eat slower. Take smaller bites or try replacing your fork on your plate after each bite. This allows time for your stomach to feel full, and you will likely eat less calories as a result.

*After the meal, take a walk for 10 to 15 minutes for better digestion.

*Another tip.. after dinner, Turn off the TV and keep a list of some fun things to do, this way it helps for better digestion. After 2 hours later of having the meal, drink lime juice (vitamin c) helps the digestion and its good for cleaning the liver. One of the main health benefits associated with drinking lemon water is it paves method for shedding pounds quicker, therefore serving as a great weight-loss remedy. If someone requires lemon liquid when combined lukewarm water and honey, it may decrease the bodyweight too.

"Khaane ke baad, Kuch meeta ho jaye": Every meal need not always be followed by a dessert. A lot of us want something sweet after meals. This is absolutely unnecessary and if cut down on a daily basis, it will help us manage our weight issues better. Let the dessert sweets be a treat reserved for special festive occasions or the weekends. If still craving for sweets, wanting to satisfy your taste buds, i usually take fiber fruits either Guava or Papaya or Prunes or Dates or Jaggery after the meal. Ayurveda suggests to sugar cravers can have carrot halwa which is made with ghee + jaggery + cardamom (*remember do not mix honey with ghee is bad to health) or Have desi paan (betel leaves) for digestion but without chuna/ pickling lime on it. *Sesame seeds are very good to chew for reducing weight, have a Peanut Chikki made with jaggery + sesame seeds.

SLEEP In Relaxed Position:
*Sleep at least 8 hours a day.
*Read an inspiring book before going to bed, it carries good thoughts to avoid bad dreams.
*Sleep on the left side of body.. like a child sleeps slightly cross in a relaxed position.
*Keep Head on the East or South (this relaxes mind, stretches the body in the south due to the law of attraction forces).
*Do not sleep keeping head on North, this disturbs the mind due to law of repulsion forces.

PREVENT WRINKLES:
*Keep your face and skin always moisture. Apply Aveeno moisture cream, Olay anti-aging cream, or any other good moisturizing organic products. Cetaphil cream is only for skin. Apply Aloe Vera gel to face & neck for anti-aging.
*My favorite organic soaps for face and body wash are Aveeno Moisturising, Dr. Bronner, Toms, KissMyFace, Yardley, Mysore Sandal and Chandrika. After the shower, moisture the body slightly with Almond or Coconut oil.. feels great! or Apply the oil overall the body an hour before taking the shower.

Control Cholesterol:
High Levels of Cholesterol can put your heart at risk. If you don't know your cholesterol numbers, now is the time to find out. High levels of LDL ('Bad') cholesterol increase your risk of heart disease. High levels of HDL ('good') cholesterol protect against heart diseases. Cholesterol levels can be improved with exercise and a healthy diet low in saturated fats and alcohol. Consume whole grains every day to keep your cholesterol low and protect your heart. The best whole grains to eat are steel cut oats or brown rice. Oatmeal and other high fiber foods help to fight high cholesterol by reducing bad 'LDL' cholesterol. Take Okra (lady's finger) is rich in fiber that can reduce cholesterol and blood sugar. Cinnamon is believed to lower blood sugar and cholesterol. Simmer a stick of cinnamon in water or milk for about 10 minutes, and drink.

Vitamin B:

Want to be a smarter, Take Vitamin B. Vitamin B Complex plays a major role in keeping your nervous system healthy. Have foods which are rich in it or take vitamin supplements if needed.  Vitamin B veggies are like Red Cabbage, Avocados, Brussels sprouts, Spinach and Brown Mushrooms. It is excellent nutrition for memory to drink the mix of grass-fed Yogurt + Basil/Tulasi leaves + Jaggery in the AM or PM.

Zinc: When the foods in our diet do not provide us with enough zinc, insulin response decreases, and our blood sugar becomes more difficult to stabilize. Metabolic rate - the rate at which we create and use up energy - also depends on zinc for its regulation. Zinc can be found in garbanzo beans (chickpea), cashews, spinach, asparagus, broccoli, sesame seeds, watermelon seeds, pumpkin seeds, oats, green peas rajma, quinoa, lentils, peanuts, yogurt, etc. Zinc helps your immune system function better, also brings significant change in skin health.

Vitamin C:
Consume vitamin C to avoid Diabetes. Vitamin C is found in Chia/ Flax seeds, Tofu, Tomatoes, Broccoli, Spinach, Yogurt, Guava, Grapefruit, and Oranges.



Grass-fed Cow's Milk, Butter,
Ghee=Healthy Bones!
*Remember too much ghee leads to
Obese!

Vitamin D:
The hormonal functions of vitamin D include regulation of bone and muscle health (including both skeletal and heart muscle), regulation of immune response, regulation of insulin and blood sugar, and regulation of calcium and phosphorus metabolism.
Sources of Vitamin D: Hemp milk has highest vitamin D, Cow's milk (grass-fed), Sunlight is very useful to get vitamin D naturally before 11am and after 4pm, (but over being under sun between 11am to 4pm will affect the skin), Soya and Almond Milk, Brown Eggs, Brown Mushrooms, Salmon.

*List of foods having angiogenesis substances which prevent and fights cancer: Eat vitamin E foods (Sunflower seeds, Almonds, Spinach, Kale, Avocado, Peanuts), Pumpkin Seeds, Turmeric, Tomato's, Parsley, Apples, Berries, Red Grapes, Lemons, and Drink Green Tea Daily.

FAST (Skipping breakfast and midday meals are NOT GOOD):
As per researchers, keeping FAST can throw off your body's normal night sleep pattern. Large Late dinners exacerbate the problem: "A big meal increases the blood flow to your digestive tract, causing your stomach to secrete more GASTRIC acid and making your pancreas and intestinal muscles work harder", and this stimulates your system instead of calming it.

*Breakfast is the most important meal of the day as your body receives nourishment after a long break of 7-8 hours of rest. Eating a good breakfast leads to an active day as you get the required energy to increase your productivity.
*Some times its good to be on fast skipping lunches and dinner for only non-physically hard-working people but never skip the Breakfast.

JULAB DAY (Clean the BOWELs thoroughly every day):
If you do not have bowel movements for a long enough period you will get seriously constipated. Then you won't be able to move your bowels and you will be in extreme pain. If the pain is not enough to motivate you to clean out your bowels, then eventually all of the toxins that your body was trying to get rid of in those bowel movements will return to your bloodstream via your intestines and you will get very ill. Given enough time and stubbornness, it would be a miserable death. That would take quite a while. If you don't like bowel movements your best bet is to eat high fiber foods like PRUNEs, Pears, Apples etc. and make the experience happen as fast as you can.

Colonics: Your body will release a lot of toxins from your blood, organs, and cells into your colon pipes, and if you are like the average person you may have many pounds of toxic fecal waste, mucoid plaque, worms and parasites infesting your body.  You must cleanse your colon to restore health.  A large number of worms and parasites could be living inside your body and hardly anyone is immune to this.  These creatures can literally eat you from the inside out.
