Balanced and Healthy daily routine

or DI!"H!#$!

In all o% creation there are no better and more power%ul

medicines& tools& techni'ues& methods etc. than to tune in with the

rhythm and laws o% Di(ine and !lmi)hty ature. That was boldly

admitted by all holistic health Doctors and Practitioners.

To the extent that we tune our bodies, mind and spirit to natures

master cycle, to that extent we can have optimally Wealthy, Healthy,

Happy and Successful life. The Balanced and Healthy li%estyledaily

routine recommends ood hyiene, moderate exercise, healthy diet, efficient elimination of wastes and a

positive mental outloo!. This is the best and most sustainable and success%ul method %or *tress

mana)ementand +*uccess%ul Balanced and Healthy li%estyle pro)ram+. The word for Daily routine in

the Sans!rit is Dinacharya, "Din means day and "charya means to follow or close to.

#n every sinle day in nature there are two cycles of chane$ from %am to %pm and from %pm to %am.

Within each cycle there are & hour periods that are dominated by air 'Sans!rit$ vata,(, fire 'Sans!rit$ pitta( or

earth 'Sans!rit$ !apha( eneries. We also have vata, pitta and !apha eneries within our bodies in various

strenths and combinations, so it is ood and a ranted success if we can tune in to the Divine nature cycle

with our own life activities and prevent activities that aravate the cycle of vata, pitta, !apha.

Second *ycle$ %pm to +pm - apha, +pm to /am - Pitta, /am to %am - 0ata

Therefore Dinacharya is basically an ideal daily schedule for us to follow, which analy1es the master cycles

of nature and suests optimal times for carryin out our daily routine. 2t is very helpful to follow 3yurveda

daily routine or Dincharya in order to attain a healthy, happy and pleasant lifestyle. 3yurvedic Dincharya is

one of the best thins with which we can maintain our health at its best and stay balanced, prevent disease

and remove almost any disease. 3ccordin to 3yurvedic Doctors and Saes, Dinacharya is a stroner

curative force than any other curative medicine.

Ta!in the above into account, to the extent that our daily routine comes closer to below written

recommendations, to that extent we can expect healthy and successful life, better outloo!, power, wealth and

economic development, fame, beauty and sense en4oyment, !nowlede, renunciation and noble duties.
