Diabetes Mellitus
Diabtes Mellitus Diabetes mellitus is a disease, which has plagued man for centuries though its incidence at present, especially in the more developed areas of the world, is higher than it has ever been in the past. The reason for this is that through technological achievement, both stress and affluence have become increasingly widespread and people have developed the tendency to avoid strenuous physical exercise and to overeat. Thus, the recent flourishing of diabetes (and diseases which stem from the same fundamental cause) can be considered to be a side effect of the twentieth century technological age, pollution on the personal level reflecting global pollution. At the present time, modern medical science holds that there is no positive system of cure for diabetes mellitus. The most it can offer is control of the symptoms through dietary controls and daily use of insulin and other drugs. The disease itself, however, is commonly not affected by this and may even increase in severity. The ancient science of yoga has more successful method of management, which is thousands of years old. It is based upon the internal readjustment of the physical organism through stimulation of the body’s own regenerative processes. After many years of successfully dealing with sufferers of diabetes through implementing the integral yogic system, we wish to make the knowledge of these efficacious techniques available to all interested sufferers and therapists of diabetes in the world. “The flourishing of diabetes can be considered to be a side effect of the twentieth century” Sugar Metabolism Any person undergoing yoga therapy for diabetes should know the principlesinvolved. Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of the body’s metabolism characterized by a high blood sugar level and the subsequent excretion of sugar in the urine. The human body requires sugar for energy to maintain the organs and tissues of the body. The sugar, which is taken into the body in the form of carbohydrates, enters the blood in the form of glucose (mainly), fructose and galactose. These sugars are either immediately used by the body or else are stored for later use in the liver and muscles in the form of glycogen. When we eat a meal containing protein, carbohydrate and fat, the following things happen in the normal situation. Glucose enters the bloodstream from the intestines. Insulin is then released from the pancreas in order to help the glucose (from carbohydrates) and amino acids (from proteins) to be assimilated by the body. Insulin pushes the glucose into skeletal muscle, fat cells and liver. Fat from the meal, in the form of triglyceride, is also pushed into fat cells by insulin. Because we do not eat continuously, periods of relative abundance alternate with food-free periods. During fasting the insulin levels reach their nadis and fat is released as a source of fuel. It is from this fat that ketones can build up to toxic levels in some people with diabetes. The blood sugar regulates its own level. When the blood sugar level is high, the Islets of Langerhans (a group of endocrine gland cells in the pancreas with the specific function of secreting hormones) secrete insulin to lower the sugar level. The opposite effect occurs when glucagon, another Islet cell hormone, is secreted. Thus balance is achieved. The regulation of sugar by the body is a very complex thing as glucose is the basic energy supplier of all body tissues. It plays an important role in all body functions and therefore requires sensitive and precise interaction of the pancreas, pituitary gland, skin, kidneys and nervous system. So glucose monitoring and control is a very complex thing. It is easy to understand, therefore, why diabetes is beyond the reach of medical therapy alone. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic imbalance in the mechanism regulating blood sugar level. When it occurs, the glucose absorbed into the blood from the digestive system is prevented from being effectively used in the muscles and tissues, or from being stored in the liver in the form of glycogen or as fat. It is caused either by a relative or absolute lack of the hormone insulin. Absolute (juvenile-onset) Diabetes In this condition for various reasons, the pancreas stops producing insulin. It can completely stop its production or it can dribble out insufficient quantities. This prevents glucose from entering the body cells, with the result that they starve, even though there is a high level of food in the form of glucose in the blood stream. This starvation affects the beta cells of the pancreas, compounding the problem and turning it into a vicious circle. This form of diabetes most commonly occurs in young people, and is a case of “Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink!” This form of diabetes can be best tackled only by the knowledge of yoga. Relative (mature-onset) Diabetes Due to malfunction or imbalance in the nervous, hormonal and digestive systems, there is thought to be an inappropriate secretion of insulin at the wrong time, and/or the body tissues have become less responsive to insulin. In this form of diabetes, insulin release appears to occur too late in the cycle, so the blood sugar level rises to a high level before insulin is secreted. When insulin is finally liberated, there is not enough to cope with the high blood sugar level. The pancreas tries to secret more insulin, but it is too late, for by then the liver has started to release glucose in response to the call from the starving body cells. Thus the level of sugar in the blood rises even higher. In addition to this, the insulin that is released may be ineffective in letting the glucose into the cells because the cells themselves cannot take it in or because insulin is poorly manufactured. There are various degrees of this type of diabetes, from mild to severe. Some cases are even unnoticeable (latent). Factors involved in mature-onset diabetes seem to be heredity, increasing age, obesity, infections and stress. Symptoms of Diabetes The high blood
Simply Sinus By Sanjeev Krishnan
Simply Sinus By Sanjeev Krishnan Inflammation of sinuses or sinusitis is one of the most common chronic medical conditions and yet it’s also often mistaken for the other conditions and hence inappropriately treated. Around thirty-eight million people endure with sinus problems, and suffer it’s the debilitating effects like pounding headaches, runny nose, and chronic fatigue to asthma, halitosis, even serious lung disease and meningitis. A little understanding of the differences between symptoms of sinusitis, allergies, and the common cold, can help you obtain relief and get the infection treated appropriately. PMK. Sanjeev Krishnan, Yoga Trainer / Yoga Acharyagives insight on sinus problems and it’s yogic cure. Sinusitis and Hay fever are troublesome conditions, which tend to recur each spring or monsoon season in susceptible individuals. Medical scientists view these upper respiratory tract disorders as being caused by viruses or defects in our immune system. The underlying cause is recognized by yogic science as an excess of the mucous element in the body. Evolution of sinus infection Sinusitis is a state of inflammation of the sinus cavities in the cheeks and frontal bones. These cavities, which are lined by mucous membrane, open into the nasal passages. During a bout of cold, the narrow entrances into the sinuses become blocked, and one may experience headaches and stuffiness of the head along with swelling and tenderness over the cheek bones and forehead; sometimes severe pain accompanied by aching in the eyes. However, these symptoms should clear up together with the cold within a week, given rest and proper care. Chronic troubled sinuses When sinusitis lasts for two weeks or more, it becomes a chronic condition. This occurs when acute cold is neglected, wrong eating habits continue and autointoxication develops due constipation. As a result bacterial infection, production of mucopurulent sputum and decent of symptoms into the lower respiratory tract (bronchitis) occurs. In chronic sinusitis, a seat of infection has become established which proves extremely difficult and troublesome to overcome by conventional medical measures. Apart from the problems of re-infection, chronic sinusitis serves as a constant source for other respiratory diseases. Nervous stress and emotional upset also have prominent role in persistent sinusitis, chronic cold and recurring headaches. Sinus troubles of this kind respond rapidly to yogic therapy. Hay fever closely related to sinusitis Hay fever usually comes on suddenly, and at about the same time every year with many people. There is a tickling in the nose, sneezing and irritation down into the bronchial tubes. Symptoms are like those of a cold but more severe. The eyes are filled with tears, acute swelling and irritation of the nasal mucous membrane and sinuses, profuse mucus discharge and headache. Hay fever occurs due to hypersensitivity of the individual’s immune surveillance system, perhaps due to sensitization to the offending allergen in the past. Yogic science explains hypersensitive reactions as the arousal of a previously developed mental samskara or impression, which has left a deep-set memory and imprint in both our psyche and cellular memory (surveillance system). The person who suddenly starts sneezing either in a tense psychological situation or when exposed to house dust is manifesting essentially the same reaction. It is a physiological immune response to a subconscious mental impression surfacing. Take action with the yogic approach The cure of sinusitis and hay fever can be achieved in two ways: by balancing the body’s energy systems or nadis, and by throwing light upon the deeper mental impressions and blockages, which arise simultaneously with the symptoms. Meditation, yoga Nidra and objective self analysis frequently enable the unconscious mechanism of these conditions to be understood and transcended. In general, yogasana are contraindicated in febrile conditions but can be adopted after fever and other debilitating symptoms have diminished.

Attractions Leading to Self-Destructions
Attractions Leading to Self-Destructions Today vices sometimes are not seemingly vices when the subject or the individual is ignorant about the lethal consequences due to wrong concepts and understanding. The below detailed descriptions will give a deeper insights. CIGARETTE SMOKING Nicotine prematurely ages the brain. Nicotine found in cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco and nicotine patches, tablets and gums, causes blood vessels to constrict, lessening blood flow to vital organs. Smokers experience more problems with impotence because of low blood flow to sexual organs nicotine constricts blood flow the skin, making smokers look older than they are. Nicotine also constricts blood flow to the brain, depriving the brain of the nutrients it needs, and eventually causing overall lowered activity. If this substance is so bad, then why do people use it? In the short run, nicotine like alcohol and other drugs of abuse makes many people feel better. It stimulates the release of several brain neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine, which improves your reaction time and your ability to pay attention. It also stimulates dopamine, which acts on the pleasure centers of the brain, and glutamate, which is involved in learning and memory (although high glutamate levels cause programmed cell death and is associated with causing Alzheimer’s disease). No wonder people use nicotine and have trouble quitting. But if you want a healthy brain, do what you can to stay away from it. Secondhand smoke is harmful to everyone, especially developing minds. Mothers who smoke during pregnancy are more likely to have children who have behavioral and learning problems. Additionally, secondhand smoke increases asthma, infections, and cancer, smoking is a very bad brain habit. EXCESSIVE CAFFEINE Found in coffee, tea, darks sodas, chocolates and pep pills, caffeine constricts blood flow to the brain and many other organs. A little caffeine a day is not a problem, but more than a cup or two of coffee a day can be trouble. Caffeine does four bad things to the brain. First, it dehydrates it, and anything that dehydrates the brain causes use to have problems thinking. Second, it interferes with sleep. Caffeine blacks adenosine, a chemical that tells us to go to sleep. By blocking adenosine, we can get by with less sleep. But as we have seen, sleep is essential for healthy brain function. No wonder so many people need a cup of coffee in the morning to get going. They are treating their sleep deprivation symptoms. Third caffeine also constricts blood flow to the brain, causing premature aging. Lastly, caffeine is addictive. Many people have significant withdrawal symptoms, such as headaches and tiredness, when they try to stop. Less caffeine is better. EXPOSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL Most people do not wish to think they are being poisoned or poisoning themselves on a daily basis, but the frightening fact is that they may be painting without appropriate ventilation, visiting nail or hair salons too often, breathing in gas fumes as you fill up your car, using pesticides and even remodeling your home have been implicated in brain damage. Understanding the sources of brain toxins can help you avoid them. Breathing paint fumes and other solvents, such as hair and nail products are brain toxins to approach with care. As a group, indoor painters have some of the highest levels of brain damage, when once evaluated a famous movie director whose scan showed a toxic appearance. On questioning, it was clear he had been exposed to high levels of paint fumes on many of the sets he had worked on getting proper ventilation was one of the keys to helping him heal. He expressed, the painters were the nuttiest people he ever worked with. He said they often got into fights on the sets for little or no reason and were the most unreliable. “Even the women act crazy “, he said. No wonder, if they are exposed to chemicals that hurt the viability of brain tissue. A recent stvdy reported that hair dressers had a higher than normal risk for Alzheimer’s disease. When you go into a hair or nail salon, they often reek with fumes. Ensure they are properly ventilated. EXCESSIVE TV No matter what your age, watching too much TV, playing too many video games, or spending to much time on the computer is bad for your brain. Our brains were not developed or evolved for the rapid change in technology that is affecting us today. Parents hoping to give their child an edge by using infant educational videos, such as brainy baby Einstein’s are actually holding them back. According to report in the journal of pediatrics for every hour a day that babies eight to sixteen months old were shown the videos they knew six to eight fewer words than other children. Parents are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on these videos. “Unfortunately, it‘s all money down the tubes, according to one of the study authors, Dr. Dimitri Christakis , a professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington in Seattle. Christakis and his colleagues surveyed a thousand parents in Washington and Minnesota and determined their babies’ vocabularies using a set of ninety common baby words, including mommy, nose, and choo – choo. The researchers found that 32 percent of the babies were shown the videos and 17 percent of those were shown them for more than an hour a day. The American academy of pediatrics recommends no television at all for children younger than twenty four months. Another study published in the journal of pediatrics that for every hour day children watch TV there is a 10 percent increased chance of them being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This means that if the child watches five hours a day she has a 50 percent chance of being diagnosed with ADHD. According to the American academy of child and adolescent psychiatry, children spend an average of three to four hours a day watching TV. In other studies, increased television watching in childhood put people
Addictions
Addictions No child is a born addict; Addiction is the result of a mental disease .Many may seem to be healthy physically. But physical health alone does not contribute to the fullness of a personality. This is where we need to access the mental state of any person. If a person is at peace and enjoying himself any moment from morning till he goes to bed and is normal within himself, happy and react to things in a normal way in his life, he is said to be mentally healthy as well. Some when it comes to certain situations react very severally wherein they loose all their control over themselves and realize their folly at a later stage after having calmed down. How does these characteristics make a person get stuck to certain type of addictions and why? It is noticed that some express their feelings and release their emotions instantaneously, some do not express at all, some show it after a very long time thinking and rethinking on the matter. These feelings also have a deep impact on the characteristics of the individual. Concerned. Some in their life face a bad situation either by the loss of their dear one wherein they cannot bear nor accept it. This in turn makes them get into some addictions, mostly it is drinking where they feel that they can temporarily forget by becoming unconscious of themselves, then later on they get into this habits and they lose their entire life stuck to such addictions that later on destroys not the person alone who was lost but the whole family suffers lingering on to the person concerned and the living person creates more a problem . Later on we may find ,sorrow is not the cause, the addiction to it destroys life itself. Everyday, every moment we experience happiness, sorrow, hurt feelings, fear, jealousy, according to our understanding of situations, circumstances, person whom we like dislike etc. with some I am comfortable, some I am not comfortable, Many of these data’s filled in each persons mind is the result of the persons attitude and reactions at any point of time by their understandings only at that moment. After some time if open to changes in life by broadened outlook a person may evlove,if not he is stuck with an attitudinal defect, and reactions and accumulation and neuroses only increases. This in turn takes the person to negativities in all matters. Added to it if not able to release. The individual finds a via media to release it in certain types of additions ,it can be smoking ,drinking, eating contiously,always murmuring within themselves, biting nails, drinking too much of any stimulants like tea ,coffee etc.All these can be eliminated by the individual when given the right knowledge to understand himself, and support to learn and accept things in life.. When light illumines within by the right touch. Ignorance or darkness has no place. Like wise is the knowledge of yoga, It is knowledge that when given with the right approach and scientific base, any person will realize his weakness and immediately understand and shift the attitude to his life within and without. Hence relieving him of all weakness or its manifestations in the form of addictions. Every person in this world has only one common objective. And it is for the ultimate peace and happiness. Some may think that money will alone give peace and happiness, for some enjoyment of all pleasures of the senses may be giving peace and happiness, for some eating and relishing good food may give the peace and happiness.etc etc. but all these gives him/her a feeling of this peace and happiness. These peace and happiness but being material in nature will not last long as anything in nature has to change from time to time . But if man can understand and experience himself in all fullness the external situations, circumstances will never again disturb him in attaining his inner peace and happiness which is the only reliable source to rely on in life. Treating addictions on the surface level is never a lasting solution. It would be the best method to give the right knowledge of things and strengthening the individual concerned and understanding the root cause and eliminating rather then treating on the surface level. Yoga and its scientific approach is the only lasting solution to make a person know himself better, love himself and know everyone and everything around him to be in peace and harmony within him and to give and pervade the love and peace around him .This in turn make a mind strong and hence weakness will never overpower him to land into any addictions. Life is divine,Ignorance is darkness,Darkness leads to weakness.Weakness misunderstood transforms into addictions,The earlier the knowledge, the less the damage,Or else life itself is in darkness all the way, Yoga is knowledge, yoga is light.Yoga is the knowledge light, that can show the path to wisdom,The dispeller of all ignorance and weaknesses,To everlasting peace and happiness.

Getting into “Rhythm Of Life”
Getting into “Rhythm Of Life” The course has the essentials of right food, right habits and meditation to strengthen one’s mind and achieve their goals and rid themselves of diseases Lakshmi Ramesh had been suffering from sinusitis since her school days. She tried every kind of therapy – from Allopathy to Homoeopathy to Naturopathy to rid herself of the problem, but to no avail. Today well into her thirties, she is glad to be free of the problem, all thanks to Rhythm of Life (ROL) Lakshmi recommends Rhythm of Yoga to anybody and everybody, no matter whether they are ill or well saying. It took me just ten classes at the Rhythm Yoga and fitness Center in Karama, under the expert guidance of ROL instructor, Sanjeev Krishnan, to get rid of a problem I had been suffering for years and had tried every possible system of medication, meditation and yoga without any affect, In fact, to my knowledge, ROL has helped a number of people who have had diabetes, blood pressure and spondylitis. This is not any magic or wonder that is happening; its all a natural process where our system is getting in tune with nature. Sanjeev Krishnan ROL instructor, who has mastered various aspects of several forms of Yoga has been involved in conducting ROL in Dubai for the last two years. With a professional license to do so, Sanjeev also comes under the Ministry of health with a medical license and in that capacity his institution participated in the DSF last year under the Ministry of Health. His Rhythm Yoga and fitness Center conducted a Programme in Al Seef Street on the occasion where they highlighted the essence of Yoga to World Health and also won an award for their presentation. Sanjeev answers question on ROL, which itself is based on certain Yogic principles. What exactly is ROL all about? ROL is a well designed and structured Programme that guides one to the depth of life, empowering you with knowledge that keeps you healthy – physically, mentally, emotionally and rids you of stress. It is based on the principles of Ashtanga Yoga and it paves the way to dynamic health and well-being of an individual. It is based on the premise that each and every individual already has a rhythm which is unique to him, developed through his circumstances, experiences and perceptions and it is rhythm in harmony which ensures his well-being. However, ill health, discomfort and stress-related problems ensure, when an individual ‘s rhythm is not in perfect mode. How Exactly is this state of harmony brought about in this ten day course? As infants and children, we do not perceive life as a burden. However, as we grow up, we are ridden with fears, phobias and complexes so much that we begin to look at life as a burden. We begin to look this ten day session by putting you back into a state wherein you start enjoying your state from the rock bottom then you go up again. You understand what has really disturbed you through your growing years such that you are not in the perfect rhythm and why you are facing various problems or ailments. For instance, any pain or disease manifestation in the physical body, any feeling of tension or depression, shows there is something wrong in your habits or in the way you look at life. ROL helps you fine tune yourself back to harmony, stage by stage, wherein you become more aware of yourself and understand yourself better. Does this mean the course is actually some kind of meditation? It is a combination of various factors and science of meditation is one aspect that we teach in this course. We give you the essentials of right food, right habits, make you aware on how you can strengthen your mind so that you may achieve your goals and objectives and we also teach the techniques of Pranayama or breathing right. We are all breathing, but how well do we breathe, we do not know. Which is why many of us may be heir asthma and other breathing ailments. How is this Programme different in its meditation and yoga aspect from other meditation and yoga programmes which have mushroomed all over the world? There are one hundred and eight types of meditation. In those meditational approaches, the individual is focusing on something – a form a mantra, light, or whatever. In ROL meditation, we do not do anything; we are in the state of physical and mental quietness. Scientifically, whenever you are in a state of physical quietness, the body has a tendency to release the impurities and toxins from the system which has been accumulated over a period of time due to stress, just fifteen minutes of ROL meditation gives you relaxation of mind and body that is equivalent of three hours of deep sleep relaxation. You also have Thursday session for children, what is it about? Yes, this is a special two hours session that we have for children between the age of seven and eighteen years, split into two sessions one for, 7 – 12 years old and the other is 13 – 18 years old. In theses sessions we basically teach children the intellectual aspects of education wherein they learn how to study the various subjects, without pressurising themselves. We teach them the behavioral approach of how to balance the mind and the body. There is no end to our desires. But we do not strike a balance between the mind and the body which is why we become ‘sick’ and often destroy our physical body. Children are taught the approach to studying and strike a balance between the creative and logical hemispheres of the brain, so that they view it as an enjoyable experience.

Some frequently asked questions
Some frequently asked questions There are many forms of Pranayama breathing techniques for beginners, which techniques do you recommend that we start with and why? What is Pranayama? Prana means the vital life energy not only in you; anything that moves is prana. Prana is the life energy sustaining, maintaining life in the world. You can start with energizing paranayamas and purification pranayamas. These two are the fundamentals that can help you to keep up because all the imbalance: physical, mental, emotional affect your breath. If you are weak and tired the energy is low. How can yoga really help with weight loss and diabetes? Of course, It can help. I have an example of a person who lost 9 kgs in 12 days while doing the Rhythm of Yoga program. It works on the principle of Pancha Kosha Shuddhi which helps eliminate all the imbalances in the mind and body giving you the desired result. Anamaya Kosha is purification of the physical body, Manomaya kosha is a technique to improve the mind, body and intellect. What exactly is a mudra? And how can they benefit in our daily life? Mudra is a gesture, if you see your body has electromagnetic waves and current. Your five fingers represent the five elements; Earth elements (Bones and Muscles), Water elements (Blood), Air elements (Breath), Fire elements (Heat), and space elements (Emptiness within). Mainly the heat and breath sustain, so if you keep your finger and thumb touching, you’re rejuvenating the energy back into the system and this is a mudra. So, you’re diverting your own electromagnetic current of waves into your own system adapting certain gesture and posture in the hands. For example, chin mudra, Gyana mudra etc. We even have mudras in the body positioning are maha mudra, yoga mudra etc. How does one move from simply practicing hatha yoga to leading a more spiritually connected life? Does one have to be religious? Of course, reading patanjali sutras is important, especially following Niyamas and Yamas. What is Ha and thafirst of all? Ha means moon, tha means Sun; moon means cold and sun means heat, cold is death. Balance on a physical level brings in balance in breath. When a disciple accepts this on the level of mana, prana and sharira, the productive knowledge grows. If you are having pain and someone talks to you what you will say? I’ll talk to you later. If your mind is disturbed with some emotions running in your head will you listen with clarity? NO. A balanced state helps you to attain your physical strength, culminating into right breathing keeps you open to accept new apps finally culminating into a state of compatibility by default, So Hatha yoga leads to the highest development of personality. Bhakti yoga, karma yoga gyana mantra japa, hatha etc. all theses are traditional ways of yogic science to develop the harmony. Ashtanga Yoga for every person is like a ‘May I help you counter’ to make you understand and is guidance rendered by the Great Saint Maharishi Patanjali who has compiled ‘Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras’, the aphorisms of yoga, in which he provides an eight-limbed approach, is not to be mistaken as a step-step approach but a multidimensional approach in which all eight limbs are practiced simultaneously. Yamas and its complement, Niyamas, are the self-management part and represent a series of ‘right living’ or ethical rules. Asanas – Yoga postures or postures, Pranayamas – Proper regulation of life force (Prana) through certain breathing techniques, Pratayahara – Taking the senses inwards, Dharana – A single focus, Dhyana – Meditation and Samadhi – the highest state of consciousness.

Food plays a major role in our daily life “A sentient diet produces a sentient body“. Healthy food for the mind and body is termed as Sentient food. Food that is good for the body but not for the mind is called Mutative food. and the Food that is not good for the body and mind is called Static food. During Ramadan junk type of food should be avoided especially because we are fasting and the food should be really healthy. The most important food is dry dates since it is the best form of fructose immediately that can be taken for the deficiency of sugar that can be made up to have after the fast. One can have Dates, Fruits, Fresh-salads along with the other proteins foods.

Heavy oily foods should be avoided to maintain good health during this month. 2. Would you recommend a proper exercise while fasting Yes, Early morning after the prayers but before the breakfast. Simple stretches like the standing stretches and spinal stretches would help to streamline the energy level and maintain the flexibility throughout the day followed by breathing exercises. Tadasana , Triyaka Tadasana, Katti Chakrasana, spinal stretches like Suptha udharakarshanasana and sitting in the prayer posture called Vajrasana will help for easy digestion. Also Marjariasana will help to overcome spinal strain at all levels, followed by Yogic breathing, Bastrika and Kapalabathi. 3. What is the importance of yoga to maintain a balanced healthy life. Yoga just means harmony in English, Harmony in anything whether in human relationship or in the functioning of your car, Harmony gives the optimum in any functioning. So yogic practices and simple disciplines maintain a balanced healthy life. Hence yoga helps to maintain that harmony and discipline in one’s life at any given time, place, situation and circumstances to maintain the balance and symphony or Union or coordination in all facets of life. Yoga is a knowledge for all to realize, understand and incorporate to make himself happy and peaceful. Also give to others like his near and dear ones, the society and the world around him to also be peaceful and happy. 4. What is the best way to keep the weight without increasing during this month? During this month care should be taken to avoid eating too heavy and oily food. After the fast, Water and dry dates can be taken initially, followed by a bowl of fruits. After one hour a good meal without much Oily stuff added. Ramadan is the time to introspect on spiritual growth and in that period when an individual looks for spiritual growth by fasting and adherence to the principles, “The attention should not be food, but food just enough to maintain and upkeep the health” Then weight management becomes a byproduct automatically. 5. What is the food behavior that can What are the benefits and risks of fasting? Food pattern as I mentioned above should be healthy in every way. Those who have health issues should take care specially not to overeat, else it can adversely affect their health.Those who are healthy also should realize that “The attention should not be food, but food just enough to maintain and upkeep the health”. Fasting benefits in many ways, First of all, it give good rest to all the biological systems and organs of the body. It also brings in physical, verbal, mental and sensory discipline. So energy is not lost but retained and diversified for good objective on all activities of life during this holy month. The risks are the tendency to overeat, because if the mind is not disciplined it will make us eat more, and unhealthy eating can destroy health. So the objective of the Holy Month should be borne in mind so materialistic objectives are reduced to the minimal and spiritual objectives are given maximum weightage during the holy month of Ramadan. 6. General negatively that affects our lives during fasting Here negativity should not be taken as negatives first of all. All these experiences is a learning process to develop a personality to higher challenges in life. So this period we are in `God’s own University learning, understanding, valuing, introspecting, and making us strong in mind and body”. In other words what we see as negative in fact is helping us to be more strong and capable of higher responsibilities which should be more appreciated. and thankfulness expressed for this value added learning by the advices rendered during this holy month of Ramadan. There is nothing negative or positive. It is the attitude towards it that makes it negative and positive. Everything is for us either to learn or to motivate for higher existence as a loving human being to understand that every human life is not apart from me, but a part of me in all respects. This period enhances us to realize the value of this great human life that God has set apart for us to know HIM the Almighty better during this holy month. A gift par excellence. 8.
