नमस्ते

कोई भी बीमारी का मूल कारण है अवरोध हाज़मा और निष्कासन में होना है।

आहार शुद्धि सबसे जल्दी फ़ायदा देगा,

सुबह ख़ाली पेट पेठे का जूस २०ग्राम पेठा(ashguard) पीस कर पीना है, नाश्ते में फल लें,

१२ बजे दोपहर १०पत्ते पलक के और ५पत्ते पुदीने के पीस कर पीएँ, सलाद खाएँ नारियल के गिरी मिला कर। खाने को अच्छे से चबा कर खायें ।

पेट पर और गले पर सादे पानी में सूती कपड़ा भीगो कर पट्टी रखें।

अनुलोम विलोम प्राणायाम करें।सूर्य उदय के एक घंटे बाद या सूर्य अस्त के एक घंटे पहले का धूप शरीर को ज़रूर लगाएँ सर और आँख को किसी सुती कपड़े से ढक कर। हफ़्ते में एक दिन आधे दिन का उपवास करें।

Namaste,

Atherosclerosis is a condition in which cholesterol, calcium, and other substances, collectively referred to as plaque, clog in arteries. 
This blocks blood flow to our vital organs, in particular the heart.

People who smoke, drink excessive amounts of alcohol, and don’t exercise enough are more likely to develop it.

To avoid this, people has to adapt to natural life style and diet.

Intake garlic and ginger in their regular diet.

Eat fruits and veggies, millets and intake whole grain in their diet.

Any regular excercise is must. Breathe fresh air.
