All yoga exercises are beneficial as they regulate the breath and circulation. For managing high blood pressure, adhere to the following regimen for ten months: Fast once or twice a week. Follow a diet consisting only of vegetables and fruits—this is a phalāhāra. "Phala" means fruits and "āhāra" is diet. Eat any fruits except bananas; limit bananas to one per day. Consume abundant salad. If eating tofu, limit it to 10 grams daily. Nuts are permitted, 25-50 grams per day. Add seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds to your salad, in moderation. Avoid potatoes, grains, bread, and milk products, with the exception of milk and yogurt (no cheese). You may consume up to a quarter liter of milk daily, in drinks or plain. Eat boiled or cooked vegetables without spices and with minimal oil. Potatoes are allowed only once per week (two potatoes); avoid rice. Eat dāl—such as green soybean dāl or mung dāl—limited to one handful daily. Following this, you will see blood pressure decrease significantly and cholesterol balance. You will enjoy life; this is a kind of kāyaka chalana (physical activity). You will feel lighter and healthier. Drink plenty of water and fruit juice. If diabetic, take appropriate care. Exercise regularly. It is advised to follow this diet for at least three weeks per year as a major prevention against cancer and other diseases. Most people need to lose weight, which is achieved through fasting, exercise, and good food. An Ayurvedic principle states you should eat all six tastes in a day, consuming sweet first, not last. Eating sweet last can gradually lead to type 2 diabetes. If you eat a sweet dish or candy ten minutes before a meal, the insulin can utilize it effectively and you will not get sick. --- Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Mahasamadhi weekend
