AFFIRMATIONS

Zakaria Mohamad October 31st, 2007

Perhaps the most powerful way of using affirmations is to state them whilst looking in the mirror. Some of the most important messages you have received have been from people looking you straight in the eye. By looking yourself in the eye as you state your affirmation you magnify the importance of the message to yourself.

Affirmations actually reprogram your thought patterns, they change the way you think and feel about things, and because you have replaced dysfunctional beliefs with your own new positive beliefs, positive change comes easily and naturally. This will start to reflect in your external life, you will start to experience seismic changes for the better in many aspects of your life.
Say your affirmations with passion, the higher your emotional state as you say them, the more effective they are.

2. Change Your Eating Habit
3. Have Good Rest
4. Enough Quality water
5. Enough Fresh Air.

To be continued….

BELIEVE IN GOD

Zakaria Mohamad October 31st, 2007

Believe in God what ever you do in life.
Stress is a large part in contributing to disease‚ but other factors must be there first – the disobedience of natural laws of health will cause stress to trigger the disease. When a person is under stress‚ physical‚ mental or emotional‚ the hypothalamus stimulates pituitary gland to release hormones ACTH. ACTH circulates through the body to the adrenals and causes them to secrete cortisol. Cortisol is responsible for increasing blood sugar for short term. Long term it weakens the muscles‚ thins the bones‚ and suppresses the immune system. continual release of internal chemicals from chronic stress destroys your immune system.

Believe in God. There would be no stress. Stress is caused by fear and worry. This is because we do not trust in our Creator. All that God requires is simple trust – to drop into His arms with all our weaknesses‚ and brokenness‚ and imperfection. Religious belief will help the helpless‚ and strengthen and build up those who feel that they are very weakness itself. Not a sigh is breathed‚ not a pain felt‚ not a grief pierces the soul‚ but the throb vibrates to the Father’s heart. The hour of man’s necessity is God’s opportunity.

God desires that you should feel your dependence upon Him and trust in that Hand that can save to the uttermost‚ that Heart that throbs in response to the appeals of suffering humanity. We must not trust in man or make flesh our arm. Our trust must be placed in a Hand that is warm with life and a Heart that throbs with love for the helpless.

Take time to pray & doa‚ and as you pray & dia‚ believe that God hears you. Mix your prayers & doa with faith. You may not at all times feel the immediate answer; but it is then that your faith is tried. You are proved to see whether you will believe in God‚ whether you do have a living and abiding faith. Always practice your Santabi.

CHANGE YOUR EATING HABITs

Zakaria Mohamad October 31st, 2007

Change your your eating habit:
“The three major killers in modern society – Coronary Heart Disease‚ Cancer and Strokes – can all be linked to what people eat and drink.” Dr B. Hetzel‚ Chief of the CSIRO Division of Human Nutrition and Foundation‚ Professor of Social and Preventive Medicine‚ Monash University.

According to National Academy of Science‚ 60% of all cancers in women‚ and 40% in men are due to dietary and nutritional factors.

No Meat:
God gave man no permission to eat animal food until after the flood. Everything had been destroyed upon which man could subsist. The Allah permitted Noah to eat of the clean animals which he had taken with him into the ark. But animal food was not the healthiest article of food. Notably‚ with the introduction of meat into the diet‚ the recorded life-span of man drastically decreased after the flood. The average length of life before the flood was 912 years‚ whilst after‚ only 350 years. Successive generations after the flood degenerated more rapidly.

Do Not Mix Fruit & Vegetables
It is not well to eat fruit and vegetables at the same meal. Fruit and vegetables taken at one meal produce acidity of the stomach; then impurity of the blood results and the mind is not clear because the digestion is imperfect. If the digestion is feeble‚ the use of both together will often cause distress and inability to put forth mental effort. It is better to have the fruit at one meal‚ and the vegetables at another.

Do Not Have Fruits After Meals:
Fruit is especially recommended as a health-giving agency‚ but it should not be eaten after a full meal of other foods. Fruit digests quickly‚ and when eaten after a full meal it causes fermentation in the stomach.

Drinking Between Meals:
Stop drinking about thirty minutes before a meal and wait about one hour after a meal. Food should not be washed down. The more liquid there is taken into the stomach with the meals‚ the more difficult it is for the food to digest for the liquid must first be absorbed. The less we drink with our meals the better. The dryness of our food furnishes the necessary stimulus to the secretion of saliva and of

gastric and intestinal juices. An abundance of liquid in the digestive tract interferes with the action of the secreting glands. It dilutes the secretions and thereby weakens their digestive qualities. To improve digestion by thickening the lining of the stomach‚ it is recommended to drink 1-2 glasses of tepid water half an hour before each meal.

Not Too Hot; Not Too Cold:
Food should not be eaten very hot or very cold. If food is cold‚ the vital force of the stomach is drawn upon in order to warm it before digestion can take place. Cold paralyzes the stomach. The vitality must be drawn from the system to warm the food until it becomes of the same temperature as the stomach before the work of digestion can be carried on. The colder the water‚ the greater the injury caused to the stomach. Ice-water or ice-lemonade‚ taken with meals‚ will arrest digestion until the system has imparted sufficient warmth to the stomach to enable it to take up its work again.

Heat debilitates the stomach and creates acidity. Hot drinks are not required‚ except as a medicine. The stomach is greatly injured by a large quantity of hot food and hot drink. Thus the throat and digestive organs‚ and through them the other organs of the body‚ are enfeebled. Heat relaxes and paralyzes. Hot food and drinks weaken the digestive tract muscles. The practice of eating food as hot as it can be swallowed‚ and especially of taking hot drinks with or after meals is an active cause of constipation.

Eat with a Grateful Heart:
Neurophysiologists have found that people who eat with a grateful heart experience more efficient and complete digestion than those who are distracted when they eat. Being thankful for the food increases gastro-intestinal mobility‚ digestive enzyme and acid production. Eating with a grateful heart does not only entail saying grace before the meal and then eating while watching TV‚ reading a magazine‚ or having an intense discussion with a companion. It means being grateful for our food one mouthful at a time.

HAVE ENOUGH REST

Zakaria Mohamad October 31st, 2007

Rest is one of the most basic healers known to mankind. When we become sick‚ what is the thing we want most to do? To lie down. Nature will restore vigor and strength during sleep hours‚ if her laws are not violated.

Institute of Medicine issued a report that confirmed definite links between sleep deprivation and increased risks of hypertension‚ diabetes‚ obesity‚ depression‚ heart attack‚ and stroke. A groundbreaking 1999 study showed that after six days on only four hours of sleep‚ healthy volunteers would fall into a pre-diabetic state. Sleep also gives the heart a chance to slow down‚ and those who sleep less than six hours a night have as much as a 66% greater prevalence of hypertension.

How well we sleep can seriously alter the balance of hormones in our body. This can then disrupt our sleep/wake cycle‚ also called the circadian rhythm. A disrupted circadian rhythm may influence cancer progression through shifts in hormones like melatonin‚ which the brain makes during sleep.

The largest study of sleep duration and mortality was followed over one million participants for six years. Those who slept about seven hours had the highest survival rate‚ and those who slept less than 4.5 hours had the worst. Nine hours of sleep or more each night was also associated with a higher mortality risk.

In general‚ a good night’s sleep seems to be as important to good health as a nutritious diet and regular exercise. Experts tend to agree that the majority of people require about eight hours of sleep each night.

Since the work of building up the body takes place during the hours of rest‚ it is essential‚ especially in youth‚ that sleep should be regular and abundant. For students‚ remember that brain actually continues to learn when asleep. That is why no sleep means‚ no learning. A good night’s sleep can improve the memory by 30%. When sleeping‚ the brain deconstructs memory and connects it to related things‚ so performance is faster and more accurate after having a good night’s sleep.

Abstain from all stimulants (caffeine‚ alcohol‚ smoking‚ spicy foods).

A relaxing soak in warm water will help you unwind enough after a stressful day. Have a cup or two of your preferred choice of a calming herbal tea. Avoid before-bed snacks‚ particularly grains and sugars. This will raise blood sugar and inhibit sleep. Later‚ when blood sugar drops too low (hypoglycemia)‚ you might wake up and not be able to fall back to sleep.

Regular times for going to bed and rising are very helpful. Get to bed as early as possible. The best time to go to bed is between 8.00 PM and 9.00 PM. The deepest sleep is between 9.00 PM to 12.00 AM. Our systems‚ particularly the adrenals‚ do a majority of their recharging or recovering during the hours of 11.00 PM and 1.00 AM.

Sleep in complete darkness or as close as possible. If there is even the tiniest bit of light in the room it can disrupt your circadian rhythm and your pineal gland’s production of melatonin and serotonin.

Rest Includes More Than a Good Night’s Sleep

ENOUGH WATER

Zakaria Mohamad October 31st, 2007

Humans have lived 81 days without food‚ but they will die in 5 days without water. If a person loses just 5% of his total water‚ he will start to hallucinate‚ become disoriented‚ and experience twitching muscles. If he loses 15% of his total water‚ his life is endangered. A loss greater than 15% of body fluids may result in death. Yet‚ the body has no water storage system to depend on in times of need.

The parts of the body that suffer most from dehydration are those without direct vascular circulation‚ such as the joint cartilages in fingers‚ knees‚ and vertebrae. Chronic pains are

often indicators of chronic dehydration. When any of your joints begin to signal aching pains that come and go‚ the first thought that should occur to you is “My body is severely short of water.” Often‚ though‚ when the signs of water deficiency in joint cartilages are not recognized for what they indicate‚ painkillers are prescribed‚ frequently resulting in a dependence on addictive medication‚ and possible permanent results could be permanent damage to cartilage separation of the joint bones.

According to Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj dehydration can cause disease. “Dry mouth is not the only sign of dehydration and waiting to get thirsty is wrong. Pain in the body is a crisis call of the body for water. Thirst should be prevented. When [the] body does not receive enough water and you have pain that‚ is a sign of dehydration.”

Dr. Batmanghelidj also explained‚ “Chronic pain of the body which cannot easily be explained as injuries or infection‚ should first and foremost be interpreted as signal of chronic water shortage in the area where the pain is registered. These pain signals should first be considered and excluded as primary indicators for dehydration of the body before any other complicated procedures are forced on the patient.”

Contrary to popular belief‚ thirst is not a good indicator. By the time you are thirsty‚ it means your body has already lost more than 3% of its water. If your urine is bright yellow‚ you are drinking too little water. Ideally‚ your urine should be as light as possible‚ almost colorless. Regular intake of water throughout the day is important because when a huge amount of water is ingested‚ it is practically completely eliminated by the kidneys in the succeeding few hours. That is why‚ to meet your daily ration of water intake‚ a lot of water all at once is not the solution. Drink one to two glasses of water every waking hour or so throughout the day.

Drink more if you sweat much or the weather is hot. This will help your endurance. Carry a supply with you. Upon rising‚ drink two glasses at room temperature with a freshly squeezed lemon in it.

How about daily showers?

A burned victim who has had over 50% of the skin function destroyed‚ has a lower chance for survival‚ and his kidneys are placed under a terrific load because of the loss of eliminative assistance by the skin. The skin is considered to play the role of a third kidney. The average healthy person eliminates about 1 kg of waste material daily through the pores of the skin! People who engage in rigorous physical activity eliminate an even greater amount. It is important to keep the pores open and clean by daily bathing.

Persons in health should on no account neglect daily bathing. More so‚ those who are not in good health have impurities in the blood. The multitude of pores‚ or little mouths‚ through which the body breathes‚ become clogged and filled with waste matter‚ and the skin is not in a healthy condition. The skin needs to be carefully and thoroughly cleansed‚ that the pores may do their work in freeing the body from impurities. Feeble persons who are diseased surely need the advantages and blessings of bathing daily.

Whether a person is sick or well‚ respiration is more free and easy if bathing is practiced. By it‚ the muscles become more flexible‚ the mind and body are alike invigorated‚ the intellect is made brighter‚ and every faculty becomes livelier. The bath is a soother of the nerves. It promotes general perspiration‚ quickens the circulation‚ overcomes obstructions in the system‚ and acts beneficially on the kidneys and urinary organs. Bathing helps the bowels‚ stomach‚ and liver‚ giving energy and new life to each. It also promotes digestion‚ and instead of the system being weakened‚ it is strengthened.

Instead of increasing the liability of cold‚ a bath‚ properly taken‚ fortifies against cold‚ because the circulation is improved‚ and the uterine organs‚ which are more or less congested are relieved‚ for the blood is brought to the surface‚ and an easier and regular flow of the blood through all the blood vessels is obtained. Remember to always end your bath or shower with cold water‚ as this strengthens the body whereas ending with warm or hot water weakens the body.

Should I use hydrotherapy (water treatments) when I am sick? How effective is it?

The things of nature are God’s blessings‚ provided to give health to the body‚ mind‚ and soul. They are given to the healthy to keep them healthy and to the sick to make them healthy. Natural remedies with water treatment are more effective in restoring health than all the drug medication in the world.

ENOUGH FRESH AIR

Zakaria Mohamad October 31st, 2007

Fresh air will prove far more beneficial to sick persons than medicine‚ and is far more essential to them than their food. They will do better‚ and will recover sooner‚ when deprived of food‚ than when deprived of fresh air. An outdoor life amid natural surroundings would work wonders for many a helpless and almost hopeless invalid. Some diseases can be cured most of all through proper air. The most successful cure for tuberculosis of the lungs requires an unusually large amount of fresh air for the patient day and night. Sleeping porches should be provided and such patients should be allowed indoors for only meals and other duties. Thousands have died for want of pure water and air who might have lived.

The lungs can expand properly only when a person sits and stands straight because otherwise the sacs in the lungs that take in the air will be compressed. If lungs do not get enough air‚ the blood does not get enough oxygen; in turn‚ everything does not function as efficiently as it should. Practice how to sit and stand straight – head high‚ back straight.

On the surface‚ it would appear that when you take a breath‚ the air goes in and immediately bounces back. Actually‚ only about 1/7 of the air in the air cells of the lungs is replaced with each breath. It is important to do deep breathing exercise daily (three times a day is best). Be sure to do this in the morning before breakfast. Take a deep breath to full expansion‚ hold‚ then exhale slowly and completely‚ and hold that. Repeat this‚ say‚ 20 times. This helps the circulation and gets toxins out of the system.

One of the best ways to learn deep breathing (normal breathing) is to lie flat on one’s back and place your hand on your stomach. As you breathe in deeply your hand should rise. This exercise should be practiced until your abdominal muscles automatically rise each time you breathe‚ all the time. This indicates that the entire lung is expanding‚ with emphasis on the lower portion of the lung and abdominal area.

Be outdoors as much as possible. Always exercise outdoors. In the home it is important to secure thorough ventilation and plenty of sunlight. Keep proper ventilation in mind wherever you are (home‚ work‚ school‚ etc.). Air must be in constant circulation to be kept free from poisons.

Do you remember the first thing you did when you were born? Breathe for air. Man may live 5-6 weeks without food‚ a few days without water‚ but only a few minutes without air. Our body’s most important nutritional requirement is not protein‚ carbohydrates‚ fats – it is oxygen! Just as fire in a furnace cannot be kept up without enough air which would supply the necessary amount of oxygen to the flames‚ so the fires of life in the body cannot be maintained without an abundance of oxygen in the body. The way we breathe can substantially affect how we look‚ feel‚ resist disease‚ and even how long we live.

In order to have good blood‚ we must breathe well. Full‚ deep inspirations of pure air fill the lungs with oxygen; purify the blood‚ sending it – a life-giving current – to every part of the body. Good respiration soothes the nerves; stimulates the appetite; renders digestion more perfect; and induces sound‚ refreshing sleep.

If an insufficient supply of oxygen is received through shallow breathing‚ the blood moves sluggishly. The waste‚ poisonous matter‚ which should be thrown off in exhalations from the lungs‚ is retained and the blood becomes impure. Not only the lungs‚ but the stomach‚ liver and brain are affected. The skin becomes sallow and digestion is retarded. Oxygen deficiency in the cells is known to cause cancer. Experiments have proven that cancer cells cannot live in blood that is well oxygenated

SUPPLEMENTARY MEDICINE

Zakaria Mohamad October 31st, 2007

Medicine suggests that we are victims of sickness‚ attacked by a bad organism‚ having a bad organ‚ cursed by bad genes‚ etc. In reality‚ illness is most often a result of our own choices not dependent on uncontrollable factors. Disease-causing organisms are scavengers; they cannot find a home in a healthy body with a strong immune system. Bacteria‚ virus‚ or parasitic infection is not the primary cause of disease but rather its result. Even the father of the germ theory‚ Pasteur‚ began to understand the true relationship of germs to disease late in his life‚ when he stated: “The germ is nothing‚ the soil [the condition of the body] is everything‚” meaning that a germ can only thrive in a suitable environment.

God’s law is written by His own finger upon every nerve‚ every muscle‚ and every faculty which has been entrusted to man. God in His wisdom has established natural laws for the proper control of dress‚ appetites‚ and passions‚ and He requires of us obedience in every particular; this determines the condition of our health. All our enjoyment or suffering may be traced to obedience or to transgression of natural law.

God loves His creatures with a love that is both tender and strong. He has established the laws of nature; but His laws are not arbitrary exactions. Every “Thou shalt not‚” whether in physical or moral law‚ contains or implies a promise. If it is obeyed‚ blessings will attend our steps; if it is disobeyed‚ the result is danger and unhappiness. The transgression of the physical law is transgression of God’s law. As sin is the transgression of the moral law‚ disease is the transgression of the physical law.

Florence Nightingale once said‚ “There are no specific diseases only specific disease conditions.” Disease is merely a departure from normal health. A careful conformity to the laws which God has implanted in our being will insure health‚ and there will not be a breaking down of the constitution. God has pledged Himself to keep this machinery in healthful action if the human agent will obey His laws‚ and co-operate with him.

When we realize that disease is the result of transgression of God’s physical laws‚ the cure for it is found in identifying the cause. Remove the cause and we have found the cure.

ANTI AGING NUTRITION

Zakaria Mohamad October 31st, 2007

Many of us seek more healthy energy in our lives, especially when we feel stressed, fatigued, and overloaded. How can you tap into more dynamic energy on a daily basis? Eating for energy includes consuming the right balance of complex carbohydrates and proteins to keep blood sugar levels steady, avoiding energy-sappers in the diet, and optimizing your intake of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids.

Practicing anti-aging nutrition does not mean you deny the natural aging process. However, it does mean working to minimize your risk of premature aging and largely preventable health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer through the diet and lifestyle choices you make every day. The good news is there are many simple but highly effective strategies you can apply now that will not only add years to your life, but also life to your years.

Antioxidants are our bodies’ frontline defense against the free radicals that constantly and adversely affect our cells. During the past 20 years, more than 30,000 scientific papers have been written about antioxidants and their fight to protect the body from free radical damage which can lead to cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s, among other health perils. Testing for antioxidant levels in the body is now regarded as a significant health biomarker—as important as blood pressure and cholesterol testing.

Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight and feeling fit are high priorities for many of us. There are a lucky few who are naturally slender with a rapid metabolism, but the rest of us may need to work a little harder, especially after we hit our 30’s. How can you reach your ideal weight and maintain it throughout your life? An efficient metabolism is key. Fortunately, eating and exercising to boost your metabolism not only helps you reach and maintain a healthy weight, you’ll also experience greater energy and wellness on a daily basis.

Do you often feel stressed, fatigued, and overloaded? Although you can’t avoid stress entirely, you can more effectively manage how you experience daily stressors. Additionally, the diet and lifestyle choices you make on a regular basis play a significant role in your overall well being and resistance to whatever you perceive as stressful. By incorporating some key changes, you can measurably improve your vitality and wellness.

Osteoporosis is a major health issue right now, currently affecting more than 25 million Americans, 80 percent of which are female. The good news is that this disease, which may start as early as our 30s and 40s, is preventable if caught in time. Every change you make for healthier bones will also boost overall wellness, energy, and well-being, and it’s never too soon to start.

You may know that a healthy lifestyle contributes to a stronger immune system, greater energy and vitality, reduction in your risk of illness, and improved self confidence on a daily basis. But how can you apply that information to your life in a way that works for you, starting now?
