Cleaning the Body 2
Fasting: the Space Element
Every day one should have a fasting period. Usually it's good to fast at night. According to traditional medicine, one’s digestive power is strong in the morning and then weakens through the day and is minimal in the night. So having a light dinner is the best way of being healthy. A milk shake with fruits can be dinner. Or soy milk with fruits or fruit salad. If you eat a heavy lunch you will not be hungry in the evening. Then the next morning break the fast by having a heavy breakfast (hence the name breakfast).
Just like a daily fast, a weekly fast is also good to give the body some time off to be able to carry out its maintenance work . This is like cleaning one's home in the week end. A weekly Juice fast is very good.
Juice Fasting
Juice Fasting
Choose a day like Saturday or Sunday or even a working day if you are at home. Make freshly squeezed juices. No bottled or stored juices are to be used. Fresh juices are the best. You can use any fruits and/or vegetables of your choice. Given below is a menu for general health. You can write to us for information about specific juices that can help heal your particular physical ailment. The best order in which to drink juices is to alternate between fruit and vegetable juices. That is, after a fruit juice, drink a vegetable juice followed by a fruit juice and then a vegetable juice and so on.
Hunger During Fasting
If you feel you are too hungry, end the fast with a grain juice or a gruel (boiled watery form of a grain like rice, wheat, corn, barley etc.) or with soy milk or almond milk.
Detoxifying Symptoms
If you get body pain due to juice fasting, drink a cup of coffee (without milk) with or without sugar in the evening or next day. When toxins in the body are flushed to the blood stream, some people experience body pain; here, coffee can help. Drink coffee only for a day or two.

Microwave Cooking
Cooking with microwaves is not good for health. The reason is that it causes a loss of nutrients. A recent scientific study shows the amount of nutrient loss compared to other types of cooking. Steam based cooking followed by pressure cooking is the best (New Scientist-Microwave cooking zaps nutrients,25 October 2003). One might be eating using vegetables and grains, but the nutrients in them might be destroyed when you warm the food using microwaves or by cooking them in microwaves.
There is a lot of information about the harmful effects of micro waving food. Following is one such report from another website. Hertel worked as a food scientist (Wattenwil, near Basel in Switzerland) for several years with a major Swiss food company that does business on a global scale. A few years ago, he was fired from his job for questioning procedures in the processing of food.
Blood samples were analyzed from volunteers who ate microwave foods. Changes included a decrease in hemoglobin values and cholesterol values, especially the HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol) values and ratio. Lymphocytes (white blood cells) showed a more distinct short-term decrease following the intake of microwave food than after the intake of all the other variants. Each of these indicators point in a direction away from robust health and toward degeneration. Hertel also found that microwave derived energies may, indeed, be passed along to man inductively via consumption of microwave food.
"There is extensive scientific literature concerning the hazardous effects of direct microwave radiation on living systems," Hertel reported. "It is astonishing, therefore, to realize how little effort has been made to replace this detrimental technique of microwaves with technology more in accordance with nature."
This research publication shows that boiling milk by microwave significantly reduces CLA content and also the milk powder reconstitution also reduces CLA content. Several studies now show that Conjugated Linolenic acids (CLA) has many health benefits, most important being an anti-cancer agent.

Mixture of Foods
Every human body is unique in its own subtler composition and so is every type of food. Every food has its own set of chemicals, and the concentration of these chemicals would be different from other food sources. One particular nutrient that is abundant in one food would be less in another type of food.
For example, oranges are rich in Vitamin C but are poor in beta-carotene which is abundant in apricots. Therefore, eating a combination of both the fruits supplies both nutrients. Similarly, eating a variety or mixture of foods supplies all the different types of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, and phyto-chemicals) needed for all the activities of the body.
This is also the case with one particular phyto-chemical in one food, which has a set of effects in the human body. The food might have other chemicals with another set of effects, which might be undesirable. These effects could be overcome by eating a mixture of foods in which additive effects or neutralizing effects could be brought forth. This is a significant aspect of the pharmaceutical effect.
For example, green lentils have a cooling and diuretic effect but unsprouted lentils will cause gas formation. Cooking green lentils with garlic and ginger prevents gas formation. The pharmacological actions of the phyto-chemicals in the food are usually mild but effective. This is an added advantage of using food as medicine; it is safe, effective and economical.
The Natural Pharmacy Store
Plants are replete with thousands of phyto-chemicals like flavonoids, terpenes, sterols, phytates, etc. Most of these complex nutrients are now known to serve as anti-oxidants. Scientists are slowly discovering many other medical uses of these chemicals. These chemicals are harmless in their natural form and our bodies have become familiar with them. The man-made drugs available today are unnatural to the body and since they are alien in appearance, they give rise to confusion in the body. The confusion is expressed in the form of unpleasant side effects. Phyto-chemicals in foods in their natural form would not have these problems. They enter the system, do their job and quietly leave the body. Consuming a variety of natural foods regularly would ensure constant supply of the natural drugs the body needs.

Lack of Love
Do we Love our Body?
Once we start to love the body as one loves the self we will have no illness. We deceive ourselves. We get divided. The I as the mind and the I as the body. This split is the cause of disease. This split hinders healing. Healing is the process to bridge the gap in this split - to unite the body and the mind. We eat unhealthy food. That is due to the split in our spirit. The mind feels happy but not the body. The body growls in pain but the mind enjoys the taste. Here is the split.
How does this split happen?. What is good is that which is good for both. SPIRIT IS THAT SENSE IN WHICH THE BODY AND THE MIND ARE THE SAME. THERE IS NO SPLIT. THIS SENSE OF ONENESS IS SPIRITUALITY. When the dual nature of the mind and body are present, separately, there is disease. Both the mind and the body are not at ease. The sense of oneness is absent. If this gap is not taken care of then either the mind or the body divorces the other. Both then start to function as if they are independent of each other.
Healing is the reunion of the mind and body and the restoration of spirit. When one lacks the union of the mind and the body one lacks spirit. This leads to depression and all the problems and physical symptoms of the illness of the psyche. This split between mind and body leads to the loss of homeostasis which is involved in maintaining the balance of the body. Imagine a family where the mother and father are fighting; imagine the state of the children! We are not talking here about split personality. Here, we mean to talk about the interconnectedness between our body and mind.
Loving a Car
If one loves a car, it is not just the love of the exterior alone. One takes care of the interior of the car as well. One will not adulterate or put any impurity in the oil because one knows that would cause serious trouble in the functioning of the car. We take care that there should be no dust in the gasoline, otherwise the carburetor will be blocked and the car will not start. We should have the same attitude in the case of the food we intake. We should take care not to put any junk into our system. All the harmful things we eat block various processes in the body. And give rise to Disease.
We should maintain our body as we maintain our car. Therefore, regular cleaning of the body should be done like we take our car to the garage for regular servicing.
