Holistic Health: Universal Health Principles & Wellness | Module 2

[00:00:00]hello so Namaste to all and uh uh we will be starting our session sharply at 3:15 it's it's related to health and physical activity and we know that since morning we are having various sessions um and this is our sip module two which is based on physical health and related activities yesterday we heard from Dr Raj perumal G and today again we are going to continue our session on holistic health in fact sushila G will give an overview of this so and then we'll follow with uh Dr sundar's discussion on how to ensure this health within each one of us what what are the basic principles which each one of us look for that but before going further with the session maybe if some of our students they have some something uh related to what we discussed yesterday maybe they can put up their questions and uh we can take up their query also in fact looking at the YouTube also we can just see so many of our participants in the previous session also there was so much of interaction and they were so happy with the kind of interaction we were having this uh so sushila G would you like to take up one or two queries from our participants I pass on the mic yeah definitely people people were asking about yesterday also they were asking about holistic health and so many questions were there of course we we will have direct questions from Sundar Raji very soon yes maybe Mr Hein I know I know but we have just 2 three minutes yes yes this is just the break time maybe we will start sharp at 3:15 yes Ma so okay uh good afternoon students hope you're all enjoying this enriching experience since yesterday yesterday morning uh the yoga sessions are so uh refreshing uh for all of you uh and for us also for me also so uh yesterday we have started this holistic health Workshop um from 3:15 to 415 so we have known uh that more than the congenital or communicable diseases the lifestyle disorders and diseases are uh uh are there in the society more than anything else so we have find out the problem and uh we are here to know the solution uh though the problem is complex the solution is very simple and Dr sundaraj uh for the next eight days he is going to um tell the solution uh in a very detailed manner yesterday so many people were asking about obesity and uh overweight how to control weight um this is the maximum people uh ask this as this question on both zoom and on YouTube and most of the participants are students so everyone is asking about getting rid of fear confusion and stress so I would like uh Dr sundaraj to address uh this problem also hopefully uh uh this need not be addressed in particular uh as the workshop goes on I think all these doubts will get cleared automatically so uh yesterday sir has given two homeworks uh one is on our goals with respect to our our family our society and the nature and the second homework is about eating uh your favorite food and uh finding the uh what are you feeling in different stages uh of filling the filling your favorite food inside you so um how many of you have done the homework and uh if anyone wants to ask any question please uh raise hand or type in the message box so there is one more minute uh we can take some questions and uh in one minute we'll we are going to to start the session some of our students like Shrea Bala she's writing that I have done my homework and deat Krishna shasan is also saying that I've have done my homework in fact in our YouTube channel also since we have already uh started this live streaming for this health session uh SN manjunath from YouTube is saying that yes I have also done the homework which was given yesterday very nice manjun you are writing on YouTube and we are able to see your comments and we are able to communicate with you so very nice audible yes are you getting my voice sush yes yes yes okay okay so maybe since it's 3:15 yes maybe we can welcome sir now and we can start with the session our participants are also

today nice sir we are doing great fine sir wonderful wonderful so you did your homework yes sir great great so I'm so happy you people are all ready for this health session and um let us just have a little you know sum up what whatever we did yesterday we will see and then we will discuss about the homework also okay this is a small brief recap so yesterday we have discussed what is exactly Health just not having disease is not health so being in a wonderful State both physically mentally and socially that is health and we have also discussed that human being is a coexistence of self and body we are not just our body there is body and also self which decides what the body will do and with the help of natural acceptance we will be able to gain right understanding right knowledge and we with the with by using this right understanding and right knowledge we will be able to decide what to do with this body we use this body as a tool to do whatever the purpose of our life is there we will decide what to do with the body so that we will always stay healthy and as we have discussed some basic principles um simple principles which are Universal Universal means they are true for everyone in this world everyone of the uh in this world every time it is true okay every area it is true every human being it is true and they are rational they are verifiable and if we follow them ultimately they will lead to Harmony in our health Harmony in our life so this is what yesterday we have discussed and we have also uh identified the difference between body and self we told that body is a material unit and self is a unit of Consciousness body is gross unit self is a very very subtle unit okay and body is being used by the self as a tool whatever self wants to do it will do through the body and body follows all the instructions of the self self is Central to human existence and it gives instructions to the body and body is self-organized in itself self is also self-organized in itself self is always in harmony body is always in harmony unless and until we disturb this harmony either in body or in self and self has the capacity to choose the response what to do what not to do it can be based on right understanding and right knowledge or it can be based on assumptions and conditioning but when the self uses the response body has no choice body has to obey whatever self has to say and body's response is always definite whatever self says it will do and whatever you put it in the body it will process whether it is a good thing or bad thing it will process it its response is always definite okay this is what we have discussed yesterday so yesterday I asked you to list three health goals at each level at the level of individual at the level of family at the level of society at the level of nature just um a few examples anyone can type what goals you have chosen to stay healthy at all the four levels to re know attain Harmony in health at all the four levels there is someone asking is self and mind the same huh like uh in this context in the student induction program whether it is in Universal human values or the health part we are using the term self okay mind is also a part of self self is much bigger than mind okay and that will be very clearly explained in Universal human values okay yeah so happiness health nature smile okay individually healthy minded body Parvati says and and individually peace yes yeah these can be goals at an individual level kindness eat healthy food at individual level feed proper food to all at Family level great exercise eat at correct intervals individually yeah Health being skillful yes yeah wonderful at the society level and at the level of nature entire existence family level yeah in fact from the YouTube also SN manjun G is putting up good diet adikari G is putting healthy meals wonderful and as manjun G from YouTube is saying rights understanding yeah right yoga laki is saying a very nice diet yes are some of the goals health goals and uh there's so many who are putting up yeah at the society level uh Miss nidi chag is saying making people around me aware about importance of good healthy food that's great actually at the society level yeah protect family by serving fresh food regular yoga and saying at Family level content and happiness Society level peaceful nature level Pleasant yes yeah and from YouTube is saying individual level exercise family level happy environment Society level good understanding amongst people yes Professor Rema is saying protecting family by serving fresh food yes yes so these these can be goals at all four different levels and as we go on we will discuss more goals which which we can add and we will also devise a healthy routine in which we can perform a lot of tasks which will help us achieve all these goals that is what we are going to do in this next 11 uh next 10 days okay so there is another there was another homework I hope it was a funny and interesting homework so we asked you to choose some um tasty food the food favorite food and take it a lot of quantity and anyone did this this homework Parvati na says at a society level peace and Harmony Unity Workshop spreading right knowledge great yeah some people did this great okay so those people who did this homework so they have to answer these questions so how is the Taste when you are really hungry how is the Taste when you are really hungry those very yummy yeah very good nice yummy amazing super delicious okay so did you get pleasure while eating you get you you felt happy while eating very tasty yummy yes yes okay great then how is the Taste once you are full yeah when when I am full less tasty says Kumar yeah feels like we are in heaven no once you are full okay enough food still happen some people still are happy some people say it is irritating less tasty when for not so yummy it's just okay okay uncomfortable yeah so did you get any pleasure while you are eating once you're full was there any pleasure you're full and still you are eating no no pleasure great so how is the Taste when you are forced to eat when off even after you're full up to your neck you're full then you are forced to eat eat eat eat you felt bad you felt suffocated okay vomiting uncomfortable not at all tasty yeah so any physical facility it will give momentary pleasure any physical facility will give momentary pleasure only but we think that we get happiness from this food food is actually supposed to nourish our body give us strength enhance all the functions of our body help in tissue building energy production but if we want to desire pleasure and happiness from food and you know there was a king who always wanted happiness from food so when his stomach was full he used to vomit and again he started eat he used to eat again so like he wanted to derive happiness and pleasure from food so people invent different different ways to get happiness out of it and of course it will damage the health okay people keep on eating they become obese they get so many diseases eat wrong food which will also cause so many disturbances inside the body accumulate so many toxins because body has a limited capacity to digest the food and if the food is nutritious then it will get strength and the food is harmful and it will definitely become weak and obviously diseases will come so so when you are hungry taste and pleasure but when we was there when you are full when you are forced it was different so taste and pleasure so what do you think this taste and pleasure do you think this these are the needs of the body or needs of the self taste is a need of body or self who needs taste needs of self self self some people are saying body some people are saying self see the thing is body only sends signals to the self when you eat a rasgula what he says that this rasula is sweet it tastes sweet so self will determine whether this taste is good or bad because some people like sweet those people who like sweet they'll feel happy they will derive some pleasure but some people might not like sweet they will they might not feel happy when they eat a rasula so body just gives a signal to the self that this rasula is tasty and what self does self says if the self likes that sweet nature it will say take another rasgula then body what what it'll do it'll just take another Rula whatever self says it'll do then again it'll say it is sweet and self says oh it is tasty then you take one more so it goes on so if if this has to happen for example if you want to derive taste uh you know derive happiness and pleasure from rasgula or whatever your favorite food is there so there three things should happen there should be enough rasgullas or whatever favorite food you have there should be enough space in your stomach and there should be the urge to eat if all these three continue then you can get continuous happiness you can derive pleasure continuously from eating your favorite food so out of these three which will be gone first you can buy as many as Ras gulas you can fast the whole day and keep complete your stomach completely empty and you can continue eating but rulas or whatever favorite food it will be over first or the stomach will be filled first or your uh urge to eat will go first what will happen which will disappear first P someone is saying urge to eat stomach will fill first yeah take say take for example you are eating rasgula you're eating three Ras gulas you can you know whole day from morning till evening you wanted to eat rasula you just did some fasting and the stomach is complete completely empty and you are ready eating rulas 3 four five 6 10 actually your stomach has a capacity of at least eating 20 Ras gulas will you be able to eat yeah urge to eat will go first right so we wanted to derive continuous happiness from food and ultimately it results in disturbance in the balance inside our body and it it results in diseases so that is the problem right now people tend to ovat and that is a biggest problem right now in the the biggest Health concern so do we have other sources of Happiness apart from uh food do you think like if you want to have continuous happiness is it only through body you can get continuous happiness do we have other sources of Happiness from for yeah family entertainment being with family friends [Music] money most of the time it depends on put music playing comedy shows music Sports okay working on our passion spending time with loved ones yes so these all things also give us so much happiness okay so this with will be discussed in detail in Universal human values but here we are more concerned about health okay so let us dive into our topic yesterday we have discussed about some basic principles today we will discuss about guidelines like principles will tell us what is the fact but guidelines will help us in understanding what to do to stay healthy and these principles are Universal for everyone as I told you yesterday they are same for everyone but guidelines may vary guidelines may not be same for everyone it might you know be different for according to your age according to your body's Constitution and according to the time of the day so according to the season we will be giving different different guidelines according to all these differences okay so today we will discuss about all these guidelines what to do and from Tomorrow onwards we will discuss how to do okay so this is the entire scope of the workshop yesterday we have shown it this yellow part is the one which gives us the understanding of these principles this blue part is the application part and the the brick red part is the additional topics okay so here this yellow part we will complete it today so what first guideline you know we are discussing about food so appropriate food intake will always lead to health we are what we eat if we eat healthy food we stay healthy if we eat unhealthy food we stay unhealthy and we encounter diseases as per the stage of the or growth of the body the food intake know whatever we eat it might differ for example in child childhood or in teenage white you are growing a lot you might need a lot of nurturing foods high protein so many food items you might need to build your muscles increase your strength of your bones and to completely um know form the whole body structure you might need lots and lots of nurturing food but when you grow and go into the middle age or into the old age you don't need a lot of growth in your body so you don't need highly protein food or highly nutritious food but you need to cleanse your body regularly so you need cleansing frood like food which is having high fiber and it it need not be having lots and lots of nutritious rich food but it should have Optimum amount of all the nutrients all gra grains all fruits all vegetables and also there is a debate whether we should eat non-vegetarian food or we should eat only vegetarian food there's a huge debate which will which we will discuss in the topic of food and of course there is this thing called Constitution we all are inherently different according to our body's Constitution for example if I drink a glass of orange juice I may feel nourished other person might feel you know some heartb burn so same food item can be nourishing for me and it can be you know disturbing for other person so we need to understand our own Constitution and according to our constitution the food we have to take might differ so you just can't take any prescription from internet or YouTube or Whatsapp that this food is very good and I have to take or something like no no we need to understand ourselves first we need to understand the food first we need to understand the principles behind intake of food this is very important and there are some really important things which we need to understand because food or activity with certain qualities will directly enhance similar qualities or properties in our body and mind for example um uh a simple example I'll tell you if you eat food uh which is highly dry dry food immediately body also becomes dry food which is unctuous more of more of oil and fat body also becomes oily so directly it is proportional and indirectly the same food or activity will also decrease qualities in our body and cell which are dissimilar to their own properties as I told you if suppose you have um this uh cold lot of flum is there and if you eat this uh Ginger black pepper and turmeric which have the opposite quality of this excess cold excess flum immediately they will reduce this excess flum or if you are sitting in hot sunlight immediately this this excess accumulated flum will get reduced this opposite quality of food or activity will reduce this um Quality in the body which might be good sometimes bad sometimes we need to understand this food and activities which are identical in nature with that of our bodily tissues when used judiciously they will ultimately cause nourishment of these tissues bring about the health and long life without diseases and contrary to this food substances and activities which are dissimilar to the nature of bodily tissues will ultimately cause reduction in their quality so by avoiding contradictory factors and adopting food and activities responsible for the maintenance of equilibrium of body tissues this will prevent damage to the body and normal state of equilibrium will always be maintained so we need to understand which food and which activity is nourishing to our body strengthening to our body protecting our body and which food and which activity will deplete the health of our body this a this is a very important topic and we will discuss in detail in the topic of food but we need to choose the right food cook it in a right way consume it in a right quantity and consume it in the right time and all these things will enhance health and prevent most of the diseases giving importance only to The Taste and neglecting healthy food habits will make us completely unhealthy see nowadays we are getting lots and lots of junk Foods filled with artificial taste enhancers these are some chemicals which will stimulate our taste Birds And We crave for such food again and again and again it even though our stomach is full even our s will crave because they will stimulate our you know taste birds and they are very harmful chemicals banned in so many countries okay and these foods with artificial taste enhancers can cause long-term damage to our health okay so we need to choose the right food to strengthen our body this is very important topic and as I told you we also have to see the compatibility there are so many food items which are compatible with each other and when you mix them together and eat they will nourish you and there are so many food items which are very very good but when you mix them together they are incompatible with each other I'll tell you I'll tell you an example which most common mistake many people do if you mix honey and hot water both of them are incompatible with each other not compatible with each other honey is very good hot water is very good many people drink it along with some lemon juice and it is very very harmful to the health if you mix honey with some hot um you know hot things this is a separate topic called compatibility which we will discuss the scientific basis of compatible foods and incompatible Foods there are so many cooked food and uncooked food if taken together they might have uh uh some drastic effect on the health in the similar way alkaline food and acidic food together hot food and cold food together there are so many wrong combinations people usually do and that leads to ill health we don't know we think that we are following good health principles so these are some some lots and lots of scientific research went into this and I would like to share all these things with you in the coming um know sessions and another important guideline is to Aid our natural body processes as I told you body is always a self-organized unit and there are so many natural processes happening inside the body like cleansing our body repairing our tissues and they always happen but we have to help our body for the smooth functioning and smooth happening of this cleansing and repair and other things like cleansing means we need to cleanse all of our body not just brushing our teeth and just washing our body we need to cleanse our internal organs we need to cleanse all our sense organs nose mouth Eyes Ears skin each and every sense organ has to be cleansed nourished strengthened protected so that are we doing we have to see and this repair process happens in the nighttime mostly so are we going to sleep in time so that we will not disturb the repair process which happens every day and this there are some things which happen in our body just to restore the balance sometimes fever happens whenever there is some kind of infection inside the body there will be a huge battle between our immune system and these bacteria viruses so then immediately we get fever or some kind of curve and if there is excess load inside the body vomiting might happen or lose motions might happen this is a body's response to restore this balance are we aiding this are we helping the body to do happen know make this happen smoothly or are we suppressing if the body is trying to let out these toxins through loose motions or vomiting are we stopping them forcefully with some pills are we stopping the suppressing the fever and we are not removing the cause we need to understand each and everything I will take questions uh because so many questions are coming um I will take definitely I'll complete the topic fast and I I'll take the questions as I told you all the five sense organs and internal organs they need regular cleansing nourishment and production so that they will work with their full efficiency okay so we need to cleanse our oral cavity skin Eyes Nose ear internal organs on a regular basis along with adequate nourishment and protection okay so as I told you there is already a Harmony inside the body wherever there is a disturbance body tries to correct this disturbance and a beautiful process called homeostasis happens inside our body okay so homeostasis is a condition of body's internal equilibrium so it is like maintaining internal environment within the physiological limits it is very very important extremely important okay uh homeostatis stasis this it normally it gets continuously disrupted by different stimula like intense heat excess cold lack of oxygen because of the altitude or when you are in a closed place and there are some internal stimuli like um psychological stress or you know anger fear or physical activity so many things disturb the internal um balance inside the body okay generally what happens is this disturbance is mild and temporary and body immediately corrects this that is homeostasis but if this disturbance is continuous slowly body will become you know um there will be a lot of disturbance and diseases will happen sometimes death also might happen I'll tell you give you a simple example s suddenly if you are if you are in a place where there is uh um very very less temperature and your body will have a drastic effect if the temperature gets transferred to internal organs so immediately what happens blood vessels inside the body they get constricted so the heat inside the body will be conserved sweat glands will not secrete any fluid and body will shiver involuntary contraction of muscles happen it generates the heat inside the body and slowly body becomes warm and body will get protected of course if you go to a place where it is very very hot temperature raises so that raised temperature will damage the body's organs if the same temperature gets transferred inside the body so what to stop that body's vessels blood vessels will dilate and this dilation causes sweat glands to secrete excess sweat and the fluid gets evaporated heat is lost from the body and the excess heat is lost to the environment and body becomes cool so body always tries to protect it's just one example where I told you about the temperature there are so many other things you know certain homeostatic imbalances such as High Core body temperature high concentration of salt in the blood low concentration of oxygen these can always trigger these homeostatic reactions like warmth or thirst or breathlessness so it will immediately tell us body will tell us you know take some water go to a cold place you know try try to to take a deep breath body will tell us and self will take a decision okay blood glucose concentration electrolyte concentration oxygen levels pH osmolarity water levels core body temperature all are under this control of endocrine and atomic nervous system and this happens continuously without our knowledge okay and so many enzymes in our body they will function only under a small range of conditions some preferred B preferred temperature if this small r range uh gets Disturbed body tries to restore the balance but sometimes if this range you know this things these temperature or pH goes out of this range then it might lead to disease and death so we need to understand continuously if you are exposing your body to physical insults like you know intense heat or lack of oxygen see uh we sleep in a bedroom where all the doors or all the windows are closed and only AC is working and we are not getting proper ventilation either in our bedroom or in our classroom or in our workplace you are not getting proper oxygen excess heat or excess cold everything will have an impact and if it is if this is happening continuously this is leading to imbalance changes in the environment and psychological stress if there is excess stress continuously you are feeling this anger fear irritation stress immediately their effect will be on the bodily organs and they might cause disease so we need to to understand how to maintain this homeo how to not how not to disturb the homeostasis which we will um do from Tomorrow onwards we will understand this thing and as I told you human body is always in sync with nature so body always interacts interacts with uh nature it responds to other entities in a definite manner okay so we have this beautiful mechanism called circadian Rhythm yesterday I have touched this topic so we our human body is always in sync with external environment okay so I will in detail explain how beautifully this circadian rhythm tells us what to do when to do how to do and what not to do when not to do so I'll just tell you right now and we also know our Earth is there now it always revolves it is in tune with sun cycle moon cycle and oh this seasonal Rhythm lunar Rhythm monthly Rhythm these things have a profound impact on our health let us see what happens so we often notice that sometimes during the day they are usually smooth sailing and other times they create resistance um like have you ever observed that sometimes whatever we want to do it will happen very smoothly and sometimes with even with our best efforts things will not run so smoothly have you ever observed like that H yes okay so have you ever have you ever thought that we can um syn our schedule to the natural cycles of the day then maybe everything will be smooth because sometimes if we are harnessing the energy of nature we will be like going along with the flow but if we are going against the nature maybe we are swimming Upstream Against The rhythms of nature have you ever thought about it okay okay so let us understand this beautiful topic called Circ rythm see human being is influenced by various external environmental factors as I told you Earth revolves around itself various changes happen in 24 hours like sunrise sunset increase in external temperature Etc it in stimulates various changes in internal environment of the human body these changes range from natural movement of bowel Before Sunrise free motion maximum secretion of digested juices at noon time production of energy tissue building at night time these all happen according to in know syn with nature you know as internal environment of human bodies syn sychronized with external environment a routine planned on basis of Universal Health principles it will help us maintain the harmony between the internal and external environments and thus it keeps the human body healthy and disease free so daily and seasonal routine should be planned meticulously on the basis of Universal Health principles you know San rium is also called a body clock it is a term evolved from scientific field of chronobiology okay the Cadian rthm are internally driven Cycles they regulate various physical physiological biochemical process in our body you know these Cycles they get reset daily and move according to the Earth's 24-hour rotation human circuit and rhythms are like built in but they are stimulated and trained from cues in the nature and these cues are called zed gibbers zed gber means any external queue which will entrain or shift our internal body function functions and it will try to synchronize Earth's 24hour light day cycle with our own cycle generally all the Zed givers will you know help us but there are some Zed givers which are also harmful which we will tell which I which I'll tell and the strongest Z gber is light and there are other things like eating sleeping social interaction temperature you know Seasons phys physical activities which we do and these can train the body to get adjusted to to new time zone suddenly we go to us new day and night cycles will happen there and suddenly season changes seasonal influences so these Circ and rhythms inside our body they do not dep depend on Zed gabber to function generally the Circ and Rhythm it gets reset every 23.5 hours 5 to 24.4 5 hours every 24 hours they get reset even if there are no Zed gers but in our modern environment there are some negative Zed gers like artificial light they will wrongly train our body and they will disturb the internal circuit in Rhythm and they will disturb the health if if these Z gas are from nature if we follow the cues observed in nature and synchronize them with our Behavior our daily schedule our circuit in Rhythm will always be in line with Earth's rotation we can Max ma imize our health and our mental alertness our immunity our awareness our physical strength everything will increase but if we are not in sync with external environment then disease and imbalance will develop okay so there are some ccan Rhythm diseases which we get like mood disorders depression bipolar disorder heart disease obesity Alzheimer epilepsy Parkinson's disease Cancer all because our daily schedule jewel is wrong just because we are not eating in time not sleeping in time all these diseases might appear okay so I'll just give you a simple scientific explanation of how this thing happens you know we have a body's Master Clock and it will always keep the Circadian rhythm you know uh it always checks the time of the Circadian rhythm and this Master Clock is called Supra cosmetic nuclear it is in the brain it is found in the hypothalamus of the brain when light enters our eye it will activate all the neurons in our uh eyes there are so many neurons inside our eyes and these neurons what they will do the light particles will be trans transformed into electrical signals and these electrical signals will be sent to our Supra kosmetic nucleus scn okay when when this these signals come and reach the Supra kosmetic nucleus immediately from there all the uh information will go to all the parts of the body to adjust see this person H is woke up okay now you have to be ready he will eat by this time he will sleep by this time he will do exercise by this time you have to be ready for all these activities the Supra cosmetic nucleus will send signals it communicates its circadian signals through several mediums like pedot hormones Vagas nerves so many things like that to all organs liver kidney gastrointestinal tract everything gets this information see this go guy is awake now be ready be ready so they maintain numinous Circ in RMS like respiration temperature maintenance hunger tiredness wakefulness all these things will be maintained so Dusk and Dawn are the most important Zed gers to almost every living organism including human being all organisms when it is you know morning time certain things start happening when it is night time certain things happening bacteria animals plants humans everyone if the initial light exposure is delayed consistently over a period of time every day we are getting up late and the light entering our eyes is very late slowly these Circ and rhythms will shift okay so researchers speculate that dramatic and unnatural schedule changes they pose greater risks to Circuit into them now I want to ask you something what is the time you get up every day what is the time you wake up every day four wonderful 8 9 6 7:30 6:40 6 okay okay so what is the time you sleep generally not while uh having this induction program what is the time you sleep 12 11 11 11 okay 1 okay 9 10 930 10 good 12 11 okay okay okay let us see how this sleep and wake up pattern affects our body let us just see if you see this Circ and Rhythm um diagram okay there are certain um you know things which happen inside our body like 12:00 p.m you will have the strongest jarag or digestive capacity will be at its speak when it is 12: in the afternoon okay and after two absorption and simulation happens inside the body okay and you know generally if you sleep by 10 p.m. between 12 and two you can see this liver gets activated it detoxifies the body it repairs the body and it regenerates the body rejuvenates the body and morning time is the best time for removal of the waste there are certain things this is normal Rhythm let us understand it in a Deep Ve you know there is a special hormone called melatonin melatonin is secreted by a gland called pineal gland pineal gland you can see the pineal gland there okay so this pineal gland is the primary component in the sleep wake cycle pineal gland is associated with the third eye in many Eastern Traditions they say it is a third eye okay so wonderful beautiful beautiful and it's almost like a Divine amam this meltin this meltin it gets secreted inside the body it gets circulated throughout the body of many animals and it trains and Alters the Circ and rhythms of several biological functions in healthy human beings melatonin is secreted at low levels in dim light and gradually over the next several hours during the between 10 to two it weeks in the mid sleep cycle and this melatonin is very very very important for our um Health I'll tell you how you know melanin has been studied and used in the treatment of several diseases including cancer immune disorders Sleep Disorders cardiovascular diseases you get melatonin pills actually this melatonin what we body secretes it for free but if you have some problem you are not sleeping in time not getting a time then if you get some problems like immune disorders Sleep Disorders or heart problems then you have to purchase this melatonin it was you know it is being recommended by wh to take this melatonin pills but it is available free of cost the problem is you know generally traditionally people work during daytime in natural light and slept when it is dark and it stimulates proper production of melaan in the right time and proper augumentation of Circ rhythms but nowadays people are spending maximum time in artificial light throughout the night artificial light from computers mobiles TVs they suppress the production of this beautiful hormone called melatonin you know in the body this melonium production gets reduced and it disturbs the Circadian rhythm and it deprives body of a precious natural antioxidant that is meltin you know chronic light exposure inhibits Mela in secretion and causes insomnia in so many people you know even a single bulb if you get exposed to this a single bulb for 30 minutes it can reduce the production of melatonin by half and this drastically affects the Circ and rythm and induces many health problems so um after you get that health problem then doctors recommend this melatonin therapy light therapy okay so for correcting the Circ and disorders people give melatonin supplementation even it was advised by wh as I told you but there is a natural way to prevent the health problems which arise out of these disturbances in the circuit andm you might say I feel very good by while I am reading late night and I don't feel so good when I get up Ear day in the morning because you know your body got used to it and because you're youngsters those disturbances are not so affecting right now but over a period of time within 5 years 10 years they will have very drastic effects Circ and rhythms never have an opportunity to regulate themselves okay generally our traditional Health practices like sleep sleep hygiene meditation exercise daily cleansing they all help in maintaining and restoring our circuit in rhythms paying attention to how your energy levels shift throughout the day can give you a better idea of what what you know when you might be at your best you can just observe what time I'm feeling very happy strong energetic and what time I am feeling dull a body is demanding rest or something like that with regular practice you will start experiencing more mental alertness in the mornings so if you keep on doing it you might feel that if you get you know wake up early you're not feeling so good but if you do it regularly if you go to gym and you do some exercise you might feel first two days you'll get lots and lots of pains but if you continue doing it then you'll feel good in the same way if you continue getting up early in the morning also balance it with sleeping early in the morning along with other health uh you know practices then you will become much much you know will become fit enough to perform cognitively demanding activities during that time and changing your schedule to better match your daily rhythms with the Earth's cycle it can take some time but it can ultimately lead to Greater productivity and improved motivation so for this we need to inculcate a daily routine which is based on Universal Health princi principles and we will discuss about this routine very very clearly what to do what not to do like uh how to do we will give you a wonderful um idea about the principles then you can decide what is best for your own thisis thing um so someone is saying that online study is affecting more on melatonin hormone yes that is true so but we are forced to do it right now because we went against the nature and nature has forced us to sit in our room and uh get exposed to computer continuously which is again not so good you know it is having a drastic effect on the body so someone says I'm going to bed in 10:00 but no sleep even 2:00 and morning I wake up at 9:00 so even so you are having Sleep Disorders which need to get corrected uh and we can correct them just by altering the daily schedule altering the food altering the healthy practices altering the uh things which you do early in the morning and just by correcting your lifestyle you can correct all these disturbances and you need not use any medicine for all these things okay [Music] so and huh there is one more thing very important as I told you body is affect know the human body continuously gets affected by external environment you know as external environment in the Earth changes in different seasons internal environment in our body also changes accordingly so we need to understand what to do in which season also what to what to eat in which season how much exercise in which season how much rest in which season which we will explain to you in detail in the coming these things and you know self continuously gives right instructions to the body that depends upon your right understanding body and self are in coexistence and self is in charge self makes decisions gives instructions to the body and body always follows self is Central so what to eat when to eat how much to eat when to stop everything everything depends upon the self's response and self that depends upon your right understanding that is what this Workshop is and body it continuously communicate communicates with our self by sending signals in different forms so we easily recognize some signals like hunger thirst pain but we fail to understand the subtle signals like body is telling us that it can't take more food it conveys that we need more rest it conveys that the breath pattern is changing so many subtle signals it gives but we fail to understand we totally ignore when body tries to tell us about some Prem monetary symptoms of upcoming diseases very initial stage body tells us that some disturbance is happening but we ignore we don't uh just observe what body is telling and suddenly one day we find ourselves engulfed with the disease but if we learn the art of communicating with our own body we will perform day-to-day activities in a perfect way based on the feedback of your body you know we can also prevent major diseases in the initial stages with simple Corrections in diet and lifestyle and home remedies okay so for that we need to understand the language we need to master this art of communicating with our own body so this Workshop I think that should this Workshop ultimate goal is to create this um syn synchrony between your body and yourself so if that happens you will be the best judge and you will understand if you have the right understanding you will always do what is right for your body and the next principle is taking responsibility nurturing and protecting your body so we we as we have seen happiness we can't get continuous happiness through food so as you know self is self-organized it is Happy fulfilled if it is having right understanding and right feeling within okay so if the self is having this right feeling inside so like you know if you have responsibility towards our body for nurturing protecting and rightly utilizing of the body you know so this happens if you have this right knowledge and right feeling and right understanding if that is not there self is not taking responsibility of your body and self is also not having happiness and it tries to seek happiness through the body through the sensations and this happiness we need continuously so the source of Happiness we are trying to seek happiness from is temporary so we we do overeating binge eating binge watching sometimes people get addicted to alcohol smoking drugs tobacco and all these things will cause so many disturbances inside of our body so self has to be responsible if you can see if you are just expecting happiness from temporary excitement you know you are consuming foods which are know initially you know I told you when we are eating the favorite rasgula or the Samosa or whatever food you like to eat initially it feels like it is very very tasty and it is necessary for my body then after some time if it is Fe full still you feel it it is tasty but it is not necessary for your body then it is is so much full that you feel that it is tasteless and it is unnecessary for my body and after that also if someone forces you to take it it becomes intolerable okay so if you can just observe this happens continuously whether it is the sensation of sound or touch or form or taste or smell or whatever it is if you try to derive happiness from it initially it become it it feels tasty pleasurable and necessary then maybe pleasurable but not necessary then not not at all tasteless and not necessary and sometimes intolerable okay so these favorable feelings from others like attention appreciation these things if they are the source of happiness for you if other person is saying that you are great then you feel happy if other person person is paying attention to you then you are happy then you are dependent upon the other person to stay happy so depending upon other person or other items physical facilities to stay happy this will always result in disturbance and we will always stay in inhuman Consciousness okay sometimes what we do is we escape from some problems we are unhappy we are we want to escape from these problems so we binge watch some programs or we ovat over sleep or we consume alcohol drugs tobacco and other things and slowly we will be in a vicious circle from which it will it will be very difficult to come out okay so this is all inhuman conscious and from inhuman Consciousness we want to go to the human consciousness where we have the right understanding within we have the understanding of Harmony at all the levels of individual level family Level Society level natural level what is right for me what is right for my family what is right for the society and what is right for this entire nature and based on that our self responds to the body and our self respond to the external environment and we have the right feelings within ourselves we feel the we have the feelings like trust respect love which will be discussed in Universal human values course and if that is happening in yourself and with the right understanding it is taking right decisions to nourish the body to protect the body to rightly utilize the body then your body will stay healthy so okay someone says my side have musquito but I am seeing the class my external environment is very bad still so the self is taking a decision if it thinks that this is important even if the mosquitoes are biting the self will say Okay body stay here and listen that's all and if self is taking decision body will obey and self is in harmony with our body self is in harmony always with our body so principle here is human being is interconnected has a relationship with other human beings and rest of the nature so right feeling in the self and uh right feeling the rest of the nature if you have fulfillment and Harmony in yourself and there will be then there will be no disturbance in the Harmony in your body but if you have feeling of opposition anger fear all these things then there will be directly you know disturbance in disharmony in the body and some kind of disturbance in digestion or blood circulation or you know indigestion uler or high DP so if the self is Happy body also will be healthy okay and if there is a feeling of know right feeling in the with with right feeling of coexistence with the nature and you are doing your part to maintain this nature in a right way pure air pure water fertiles fertile soil obviously you will be healthy but if you think that I am a single entity and I want to get best from everything I I exploit this nature then polluted air polluted water and depleted resources in soil ultimately leads to ill health of the entire mankind okay so we need to make choices with right understanding and right awareness so self is free to choose its response when it chooses based on understanding the behavior is different when it chooses based on assumptions conditioning then behavior is indefinite body is not free to choose the response it is body's refence know response is always definite it just follows the instructions of the self okay so when unaware self is angry it can disturb the normal heartbeat and breathing pattern of the body in the same way a self that is aware it has the capacity to control the gross body so this entire Workshop is about holistic human health holistic human health is health of the self health of the body health of the environment and environment includes family Society nature and entire existence so we will understand how to maintain Health at all these levels at the level of body self family society and nature in the coming these things there are some more topics uh but I think the time is up these topics I will cover tomorrow yeah so we will come to this homework so my question is who should take responsibility of your health Doctors Hospitals parents or yourself yes your our myself yes so so this entire Workshop is designed in such a way that you will take responsibility of your own health so now as a homework you have to take responsibility for any one or few aspects of your health from today so you need to decide what you will do to nurture your body to protect your body to cleanse your body and to be in sync with the nature to not to disturb the nature and stay healthy so you can write things which you want to do daily so that you will be healthy how you will take responsibility of your body keeping your body healthy because you have agreed that it is your responsibility to keep to stay healthy so this is your homework you have to write what you are going to do as a responsible person towards your own body what what you going to do to protect your health so this is your homework okay now I think I can take questions yes uh many people from uh many students from computer science they're asking how to prevent eye disorders or how to strengthen eyes things that sit for a long time in front of monitors yes so it is a very very important topic they say of all the sense organs eyes are the very very important sense organ and we need to protect ourselves from so many things particularly this exposure to computer and exposure to the external environment excess heat anything can damage our eyes so we have this topic of how to cleanse strengthen nurture and protect our eyes we will DET in detail explain how to do this thing and you have to be aware like there are some simple uh simple things we can do every day every two hours every 3 hours just to keep our eyes healthy so that we will discuss in the coming sessions yes and sank from YouTube uh he's asking what is the right time to eat and sleep yeah so see um it depends again what what like afternoon time is the best time to take the heaviest meal and the night time it is advisable to take light food that to very early before 7 but what is the best time to eat and how we can divide our meals we will discuss in detail with you know when the topic of food arrives okay we will completely guide you properly and we will give you the scientific research to back up all the facts which we are telling you yeah Amika again from YouTube she's asking how to reduce tension or fear uh when meeting higher officials yes yes yes interviews yeah generally once you understand once you have the uh awareness in yourself that uh the whole world is friendly you know and you have to be just embrace it all you have to do is accept this world then automatically many of our fears they just vanish but still there are some kinds of weaknesses particularly in this nervous uh circuit which makes is you know some kind of uh chemical reactions happen inside our body which trigger this stress and nervousness so we need to train our brain so so that in important situations we will not feel nervous are stressed out so there are some simple and beautiful practices which we will also discuss during this uh Workshop to be strong in ourself in our mind yes uh someone is asking is drinking coffee effects uh melatonin production yeah during the night time because it's a stimulant coffee is a stimulant coffee or tea or other stimulants night time when you take then the brain tends to stay awake and if you are awake you are not allowing melatonin production inside your body okay many people are raising hands they want to speak so hello hello you can just uh take the name of the student so that they will unmute themselves and they will speak so miss Vidya Vidya n uh joti ranjan munti Anusha Jen Aditya someone is asking when to sleep and when to wake up so as we have seen today best time to sleep is before 10 when the melanin production start starts if you switch off your lights at 9:30 and sleep by 10:00 maximum production of melatonin happens maximum regeneration production of energy from the next day rebuilding of the tissues and organs everything will happen if you sleep before 10 that to if you switch off uh lights and allow the melatonin to get produced melatonin itself will induce sleep yeah someone's asking any question question Professor Gloria Joseph Elder Albert you have the mic with you Professor Gloria Joseph Albert how much sleep and wake up they're asking so this we will cover very nicely during the topic of sleep we will definitely discuss about sleep in detail in fact sir since we are someone is asking sleep in the morning at 4:00 a.m. and wake up in the morning 7 a.m. what should I do you have to correct your sleep cycle it is very very harmful sleeping at the
