SUPER: Vital Health Tips During Covid-19
#1 Boost Your Immunity
Most people develop relationship
with the soil only after they die.
But it's very important to develop relationship
with the soil when you're alive.
I would say especially now with this virus around.
Believe me, those of you who are in 
some way in contact with the soil,
here we call this Prithvi Prema Seva,
that means getting involved with 
the soil in a very loving manner.
Well, your ability to live,
your ability to resist these kind of invasions 
upon your life will be greatly, greatly enhanced.
It's not just enough if you live.
It's important that you live strong.
Living strong does not mean you grow
big muscles and dominate somebody.
Living strong means here life happens big!
For this you need a body, which treats 
the entire planet as its extension,
which it is. So it's very 
important that you bring this.
All of you who are here at the Isha Yoga Center,
we will set up some processes for you
so that every one of you,
at least once in three days, your hands 
and feet are in the soil, very important.
And wherever else you are,
if you have a small patch of a garden
or you can volunteer that 
you'll work in somebody else's garden.
Believe me, yes, they will get free labor
but don't think they are getting more.
You're getting much more because you being connected with the soil will make a phenomenal difference
for the way your physical body functions.
Put your hands into the soil, very important.
Otherwise, those of you who are 
too well to do
but don't want to be 
seen doing any work,
because it may create a wrong 
image for your affluence,
you can have a mud bath.
Yes, that is also one way.
#2 Eat More Raw Food
Just bring forty to fifty percent
of the food in its raw form.
That is it’s alive, it must be a live cell.
It can be a vegetable, it can be a fruit,
it can be a nut, it can be sprouted gram.
At least forty to fifty percent, the food
that you eat must be alive.
You eat dead food and you want to live -
this is a little difficult thing to do
because you have to 
raise the dead now.
When you cook the food...
to digest the food -
all the ingredients 
necessary for digestion
are not in the body alone,
the food also brings these enzymes.
When you cook the food,
you are largely destroying these enzymes.
Minus the enzymes when you eat,
now the body has to struggle to reconstruct 
that part that’s been destroyed,
and then only it can digest.
Normally first one, one and a 
half hours after eating,
it tends to take the body down.
After that slowly it recovers. 
Have you noticed this?
So food is for energy, but we are
making the food in such a way
that it takes away energy in 
the first one and a half hours,
only after that, slowly it comes back.
Anyway, however good 
your digestive process is,
still you can never reconstitute all the enzymes
that we have destroyed by cooking.
Only partly we can do that.
#3 Take a Shower before You Sleep
One simple thing can be, just a shower.
Always to shower before go to bed,
it’ll make a lot of difference.
In this weather maybe cold showers are difficult
so you go for lukewarm showers.
Don’t go for hot showers in the night,
go for lukewarm showers. It makes you alert.
So you will think oh I cannot sleep. 
It doesn’t matter.
You’ll sleep fifteen, twenty minutes or
half-an-hour later but you will sleep better
because it will take away certain things.
When you shower it is not just the
dirt on the skin that you are taking away.
Have you noticed,
if you are very tensed and anxious, whatever, 
just a shower you came out it feels
like almost the burden has been taken 
away from you? Have you not noticed this?
So it’s not just about washing the skin.
A whole lot of things happen.
When water flows over your body.
This shower is a very 
rudimentary Bhuta Shuddhi
because over 70% of 
your body is actually water.
If you run water over it,
a certain purification happens
which is beyond cleaning the skin.
#4 Detoxify Your Body: Drink Water with Care
You must take enormous care about the water
because it's 72% and 
it has tremendous memory.
If I open this water, 
even without opening
if I say something to this water, 
it remembers.
There has been lots of 
experiments in this direction;
So if you take this water from wherever
the waterworks is and pump it to your house,
let’s say it went through fifty bends,
forced… pumped forcefully 
with a certain force which naturally is done
and you are living on twelfth 
floor of the apartment, so further forced up.
Now they are saying 
if it goes through fifty bends,
about sixty percent of 
the water has turned poisonous.
Immediately when it comes in the tap
if you take it and immediately drink it,
it will work as poison in your system.
If you take it and hold it for 
some time, it will undo itself again
because the poisoning is 
not chemical, it is molecular;
molecular changes are happening,
no chemical changes happening.
This is why traditionally your
grandmother always told you,
‘Always you must gather the water,
keep it overnight in your house in 
a properly cleaned vessel
with vibhuti and kumkum on 
it and one flower on it.’
Yes or no? 
Traditional homes?
Only tomorrow morning you drink it,
not as soon as it comes inside your house,
you don’t drink it because 
it carries all kinds of memories.
In very traditional homes people every day
do pooja to the water pot, yes?
And you never drink the water 
as soon as it comes,
you keep it, give it enough 
time to undo itself
from whatever nonsense 
it has gathered
so that it is suitable for you when you drink it.
Water you must take 
care because it’s 72%,
its more… its first class, 
you know, more than passing mark.
#5 Give Your Stomach a Break!
Empty stomach and hunger are two different things.
Hunger means your energy levels start dropping,
but empty stomach is a good thing.
In the yogic sciences - today modern science
also is coming in line with this...
But what we know by our experience,
you will spend a billion dollars to come there.
Because research is all about
how many million dollars, that's how it is.
Your body and your brain works at its best
only when your stomach is empty.
So we always make sure, we eat in 
such a way how much ever we eat,
Our stomach must be always empty within two
to two-and-a-half hours’ time maximum.
So we go to bed hungry always.
People think they cannot sleep, they can sleep.
So... Minimum eight hours gap
is what is recommended in yoga.
Between one meal and the next meal
there must be an eight-hour space.
If you do this, you will see half your problems
of health - whatever you have health problems,
minimum fifty percent will 
go away in six weeks' time.
