Just like a machine, our body will be active, fit and healthy as long as it is moving. Thus exercises play a crucial role in keeping our body active and inspire it to work. Physical activity, walking and exercises maintain the mobility of the joints and relieve pain. The heart beats faster during exercise and every part of the body gets an extra supply of blood.
For a good memory and healthy body, we should exercise daily. If this is not possible, we should exercise at least thrice a week. Have a full body massage at least twice a week. Sit in the sun after a massage. This facilitates vitamin D absorption, help in rejuvenating your body, increasing your lifespan and preventing general malaise and insomnia.
Pour one or two drops of mustard oil in the ears daily. This will prevent ear infection and earache. Daily massage of the feet and soles keeps our vision perfect as some nerves are directly linked with these body parts. A good body posture is also important. You should sit or stand erect so that there is sufficient space for the air to end the lungs ensuring an optimum supply of air when the breath is drawn in.
Daily bathing is essential both in winters and summers, otherwise the toxins coming out of the skin are not washed and can lead to itching and other skin problems. Bathing helps in re-energizing us. Do not wash eyes and hair with warm water. It damages the hair roots.
Exercise should be done gradually and within limits, according to the age and health of a person. Exercising beyond one's endurance is counterproductive as the body is unable to rest, leading to injury and ill health.
There are special postures devised for yoga, which should become steady and pleasant with continuous practice. A steady and pleasant posture produces mental equilibrium and prevents fickleness and bad ideas from entering the mind. Asanas are not merely exercises; they are postures to soothe the nerves.
To perform asanas we need a clean, airy place and loads of determination. The limbs of the body provide the necessary weights and counter weights; thus we develop agility, balance, endurance and great vitality by practicing these asanas. They secure a fine physique, which is strong and elastic without being muscle-bound and they keep the body free disease. They reduce tiredness. But their real importance lies in the way they train and discipline the mind.
