This is for people looking to increase their weight without using medicines:

1. Have a glass of banana milkshake daily in the night before going to bed

2. Take a glass of warm milk with a spoon of honey mixed in it

3. Soak sprouts in water and leave them overnight. Consume them first thing in the morning.

4. Eat lots of raw vegetables, broccoli and green vegetables.

5. Take at least 8-10 glasses of water

6. Eat lots of natural food (not stored ones)

You can certainly expect an increase in weight, without any side effects. Quite a few of us have followed this and the results have been good.

Our parents have guided us in brushing our teeth within a year of our growing our teeth. However, as we grow older we ignore the importance of oral hygiene.

Breath (good or bad) is as much an indicator of our standing. If we have bad breath, people hesitate to come closer to us and in extreme cases, avoid us.

A normal healthy human being needs to have food every 3-4 hours (except after our supper). If we skip or delay taking food during this period, acid activity in our stomach increases, causing foul breath. If the skipping of meals/ food duration increases, we are prone to ulcer and our breath will definitely indicate this. Once we get this indication, it is time we stick to our meals and not skip it.

We all know that after we take foods which have garlic, onion or fish, our breath will still have traces of it. So we need to gargle a few times to overcome or reduce the effect of such foods.

When I feel that the duration between my food / meals will be uneven, I generally chew gum which have less sugar content in it. Chewing gum reduces the acid activity and the food delay can be extended for at least 30 minutes. Also the effect of pungent foods namely, onion, garlic and fish will not be reflective in my breath.

Make it a practice to floss at least once a day. Also do not ignore to gargle after eating food, drinking coffee or tea or any sweets / chocolates to reduce the strain on teeth. Also brush the teeth twice a day, early in the morning and definitely before going to bed in the night.

Use a soft or medium toothbrush and change it once in 2-3 months. Follow a calendar month schedule to change the brush. In such a scenario, you will be able to keep track of when you changed the brush last time.

Good oral care gives you the confidence in social life, helps in making friends. So do not ignore your teeth.

We all want to start the new day energized and rested. However, if we have not slept properly, we feel tired upon awakening and tired throughout the day. It's difficult to focus and we commit mistakes in our work. Also the lack of sleep makes us irritable and feeling down.

If you have been a victim of insomnia, you will know how bad it is. Insomnia is the inability to sleep through the night (for shift workers, this is the inability to sleep through your sleep time).

Insomnia creates an energy imbalance. When we rectify the energy imbalance, then sleep naturally ensues.

There are a number of natural and holistic energy healing options for insomnia. It all boils down to the role we plan to take in healing it - active or passive.

Also the expertise of the practitioner helps - we can have a combination of active, semi-active, and passive roles. One advantage of these systems is that they can isolate the causes of our insomnia and release their energy at source.

Certain illnesses, necessary medicine that you may be reacting to, pain, discomfort, or anxiety, foods, something in your environment, or a variety of negative emotions can cause insomnia.

A good practitioner can advise you as to what treatment or combination is best for you.

If we choose a passive role, then attending Reiki, Shiatsu, or Acupuncture sessions on a regular basis are good.

So make a choice, start early to correct insomnia and have a pleasant day ahead.
