Life wins during Cyclone Phailin

As the nation braced for Cyclone Phailin and thousands were evacuated ahead of the cyclone’s destructive intensity, ZHL staff in Odisha put their Durga Puja celebrations on hold to respond to the increased need for emergency services.

On Sunday, October 13^th, 2013, ZHL crew carried 36 pregnant women from flood relief camps to hospital for further medical attention. Amidst the chaos that day, a baby born at 4:30 a.m. in the devastated Ganjam district was a silver lining for the families and crew. We named him Phailin.

ZHL is proud and grateful for our Odisha team. They are real-life heroes.

Food - The key to a Healthy & Successful Life

The world is divided into 2 sets of people: one who eat to Live and the other who Live to eat. Both these categories though cannot deny the fact of how a balanced diet is quintessential in our well-being. Over-eating is as harmful as lack of food.

The need for regular & proper food intake has never been more important than today where stressful deadlines, hectic schedules & jet-setting lifestyle is more a norm than an exception.

In such a scenario, A few simple tips while having food go a long way in keeping healthy body & mind:

1.    EAT ONLY WHEN TRULY HUNGRY-  Overeating is indulging in
  sensual mind appetite— causing body illness & spiritual        
  insensitivity.

2.    CHEW FOOD WELL- Stomach’s have no teeth, chewing well  
  brings out the sweet taste in foods. Chewing develops    
  spirituality & sensitivity. Mental clarity & good judgment  
  improves with mastication & leads to satisfaction after eating,
  and minimizes overeating.

3.    AVOID HOT & COLD FOOD- This suspends digestion & wastes  body energy. Eat food warm, but not too hot.  Avoid iced drinks   before, during and after meals. It creates mucous & 

       digestive problems.

4.    EAT ONLY TO 80% CAPACITY- Stop before full, clarity is diminished with full stomach. An 

       alert clear mind equals success, inner security, good health and longevity.

5.    ENJOY YOUR FOOD- Eat with the spirit of thankfulness, gratitude & enjoyment

6.    GO OUTDOORS AFTER MEALS & NO CLOSE WORK- This practice can improve your health 

      & longevity dramatically. Why? Oxygen helps to digest food. Indoor, close work, reading, tv, 

      or computer work after meals causes poor digestion and blood stagnation in the head & not 

      enough blood in the stomach to facilitate proper food digestion.

7.   DRINK PURE LIQUIDS WHEN THIRSTY ONLY- No animal in nature drinks when they are not 

     thirsty. Water causes water-logging of entire body if taken to excess. The man who wrote

     the book on drinking more water, died of a water disease—water on            the lungs—pneumonia.

8.  MODERATION IN ALL THINGS- Taoist, Buddhist & Yoga teachings all   say to avoid extremes. “Extremes” cause extreme disease conditions   

     in the body organs, muscles & cause body/mind/spirit imbalances,   

     leading to suffering & illness.

So, Eat well, Rest Well & Lead a Happy Life!
