How to practice, what to eat, how to live for your health?
A dietary regimen for regulating blood pressure and health over ten months.
Adhere to a fruit and vegetable diet, a phalāhāra. Fast weekly. Eat any fruits, limiting bananas. Consume abundant salad. Tofu is limited. Nuts and seeds are permitted in moderation. Avoid potatoes, grains, bread, and most milk products; only milk and yogurt are allowed. Eat boiled vegetables without spices. Potatoes are allowed only once weekly; avoid rice. Eat a handful of dāl daily. This practice, a kind of kāyaka chalana, will lower blood pressure, balance cholesterol, and make you feel lighter. Drink plenty of water and juice. Exercise regularly. Follow this diet for three weeks yearly for major disease prevention. An Ayurvedic principle states to eat all six tastes daily, consuming sweet first. Eating sweet ten minutes before a meal allows insulin to utilize it effectively, preventing sickness.
"Following this, you will see blood pressure decrease significantly and cholesterol balance."
"Eating sweet last can gradually lead to type 2 diabetes."
