Answers:
All natural foods will add to health. I mean fresh vegetables, fresh fruits. You can take honey which is a best tonic. One tablespoon of honey in the morning in hot/warm water. Take balanced nutritious food. You can take milk, curd, butter, ghee (limited). No gravy, no fried food, no spicy food, no pickles, etc.
Take food in equal intervals. Do not take in between meals anything.
Fill half the stomach with solid foods, quarter stomach with liquid and leave quarter stomach empty. This gives room for easy digestion and circulation.
Have some physical exercise, or do some Yoga or simply walk about one kilometer each way in fresh air or in a garden. Have positive thinking. Positive thinking leads to good health.Health Question & Answer
