5 Subtle foods

1. Ether

What is Ether? Its the space the emptiness allowing the body to feast on space. When we are feasting on ether we do not consume anything. Even water is consumed according to the thirst.

Upvas:- Bodily and Mind

Akash Tatva :- Aushdham the best medicine

2. Air

Prana means air, yama means to control. We exercise our lungs by controlling the air we breathe. Without prana we cannot live. Air is vital but we are born with a certain credit balance of vitality. We need to take care of it. Practice pranayama with Antara Kumbhaka and Bahya Kumbhaka. eg:- Hanuman is the son of Vayu, breathe in lift heavy weights, like the way he lifts the hill.

3. Sunlight

Sunlight is a food for our body. Sunbathing everyday for 5 to 10 min helps us assimilate vitamin D, which helps us to absorb vitamin D and other need nutrients.Sunbathing should be done for 5 to 10mins to get the sunlight not heat the body. The face and head should be covered with a wet towel or kept in shade. The entire body parts should be exposed to the sun.

4. Water 

Water's property is to cool and cleanse.Water helps digestion. Water is another food available in plenty in fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables purify the water and we get to have pure form of water. eg:- Lotus grows in dirty water but its so beautiful, the seeds and stem are also consumed.Plants use the best kind of filters.Water is also used for healing,

5. Earth

Earth gives vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, roots.

Our body is made up of 80% alkaline.

Vegetables are alkaline foods.

Fruits are mild acidic.

grains( pulses, rice,wheat, millets )  are acidic and dry ( to be taken in moderation ).

To understand how to eat and what to eat we need to understand the following :-

• Change your habits 
• Follow the 5 principles of nature cure.
• Do not check your body.

What can one eat to improve health?

1. Water rich food. 
2. Like mono fruits for one meal.
3. Raw vegetable salads without salt for another meal.
4. Cooked meals with only 20% grain ( pulses, rice, wheat, millets) 80% vegetables. 

How does one do that?

Eg:- one can use a kitchen weighing scale measure 20gm rice plus pulses and 80gm vegetables ... 

Vegetables are alkaline when you eat more vegetables you stay satiated for long... 

Acidic food causes hunger quickly.

Why no salt in salads ? because salt is a preservative, plus it attracts water as it has sodium... When one has salad with out salt, it keeps one's body hydrated. You don't need to drink water often and tax your kidneys.

Vegetables and fruits have their own filters and can give us the purest form of minerals and water content.

Question arises:- How much fruit should one eat at a time? One can eat up to a minimum of 800gm of mono fruit ... It should be a meal by itself. Do not mix with any cooked food. If you eat only one vareity of fruit at one time, there is no spike in sugar levels etc..  Very important do not eat anything else for 2 to 3 hrs after it.

Salad one should have a minimum of 350gm to 500gm as a single meal. Chew well.

Adding salt after cooking your food is ideal as the food requires lesser salt and one does not get thirsty while eating or even after eating. Eat water rich meals.

Turmeric and Ghee are a kind of preservatives, when one wants to move towards health and loose weight avoid it completely. Both try to preserve the food in the body and slow down digestion.

Many have acidity and gas after eating a cooked meal, when one uses sprouts instead of polished dals and 80% vegetables this problem is gone over time. Instead of toordal substitute for green gram or toordal sprouts( sprouts need not be very big, the minute the seeds start to sprout one can use )

Protein is present in greens, sprouts, Cocount, nuts ... Which is sufficient for one's body.
