Relook at your salt intake (especially iodised, chemical salt). Salt entered our food systems, more for taste and offers no nutrition. In fact in terms of natural health, it is considered a foodless food. The manufacturing process and iodisation of salt has further complicated the various elements that enter our system along with salt. In today’s world, after sugar, this is a leading additive in every processed food item (as it works as a preservative & stabilizer) so much that even after reading the labels, it difficult to eliminate this. Salt is caustic to the sensitive inner tissues of the body & the cell structure hence water is retained within the body to neutralize its acidic effect. The body works furiously to eliminate the salt, but when is unable to do so deposits across body fluids. This actually artificially creates the signal of thirst too (Not sure if you getting that yet). Water retention thus can be construed as the presence of salt in the body which it is unable to flush out. Here is what you can do: What to eliminate: Processed packaged foods, outside meals, bottled sauces, pickles just about everything has a very high dose of salt – reduce them drastically (if not completely) Replace white salt at home with Sendha namak, and Himalayan pink salt. Reduce dairy, non-veg and grains intake – these heavy digesting foods hinder significantly with the process of elimination and make our body overwork.

Can someone tell me if there's a problem in eating papaya during pregnancy? I love papaya, but have been told not to eat it.

There are many fruits which are recommended ‘not to be eaten’ during pregnancy like Pineapple, Tamarind, Papaya, Grapes etc. Common link is presence of high concentration of enzymes or chemicals in these fruits which can either lead to variations in important hormones or lead to uterine contractions which are not desirable during pregnancy. Papaya was strictly mentioned NO even by my Gynecologist. Some research at my end indicates that ripe Papaya is ok but raw or semi ripe Papaya has high concentrations of latex which can lead to uterine contractions. Remain safe and best thing is to avoid as it is matter of only few months!

If you have broccoli soup for seven days the trouble will vanish, it's toxin elimination which started due to broccoli which is causing these symptoms. We often attribute such beneficial changes to change of lifestyle and give up pre-maturely. Give all changes minimum 21 days for the body to make the natural change before making any conclusion.

When I am on a diet of fruits and vegetables, I feel headache. Can you explain me?
Pramod Pathak
05:35 PM | 17-12-2018
Headache, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea and fever are few symptoms that occur when we switch to only fruits and raw vegetables. Firstly this is a good sign and happens due to presence of toxins in the body. The symptoms occur due to less vitality. These symptoms may continue maximum for first three days only and after that once elimination of toxin begins, they gradually disappear. Ideally one must go on only fruits for first three days to enhance vitality and add raw vegetables from day four to start the cleansing of the body. This will help in reducing these symptoms. Remember all illness are loss of vitality due to toxin accumulation in the body, hence all lifestyle changes constitute three major steps - 1. Increase vitality. 2. Toxin elimination. 3. Disease reversal.
