1.0 INTRODUCTION
Do you want to know why High B.P. / Diabetes / Gas
trouble / Arthritis / T.B. etc. have increased of late?
Do you want to know why incidences like Cancer,
Heart ailments, Kidney problems, Liver problems etc.
have increased manifold after 2000?
Do you want to live a quality and disease free life?
To know answers to above, please listen to Arogya
Rahasya / DVD by Shri Rajiv Dixit based on Sutras
of Maharshi VAGBHATA, a disciple of CHARAK a great
ancient Indian Surgeon.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
4.0 Till 1980s WESTERNISATION is minimum in India.
With increased westernization, Indians started going
away from age old practices in cooking, living, eating
etc.
Indians started following the appliances & lifestyle
being followed in USA / Europe thinking that, those
appliances / lifestyle is correct and a sign of
civilization.
Indians unfortunately have lost sight of the
important fact that, the appliances suited to Cold
Climate countries like USA/Europe are not only
suited to India but cause various diseases. 5
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Similarly, the lifestyle adopted from USA/Europe like
light Breakfast in the morning is suited only for cold
climate and not to hot climate Country like India.
Due to blindly following appliances / lifestyle of
USA/Europe, diseases increased manifold especially
after 2000.
Diseases which are rare like Cancer, heart attack
have become common in India now.
85% present day of diseases can be treated by self
by following health principles suited to Indian
climate.
6
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Only 15% diseases need specialists. By following the
health principles, even the chronic diseases can be
prevented.
USA / Europe only Onion, Potato & Wheat grown
mainly.
India Variety of vegetables, fruits & food items is high
and conducive to nutritional requirements (Vitamin,
minerals) of body than Western food.
While Westerners are shifting to Indian foods, Indians
like fools are trying to eat Western foods like PIZZAS,
BURGERS as a false prestige and inviting deliberately
chronic diseases like Obesity, Cancer, Diabetes, B.P.,
Kidney problems etc. 7
1.0 INTRODUCTION
While we do not have control over pollution like use of
pesticides for food production, air & water pollution
etc., We have full control over what type of appliances
to be used for cooking, eating etc., & have full control of
what to eat & when, how to eat etc.
About 3000 years back disciple of Ancient surgeon
Charak, Maharshi Vagbhata has laid down scientific
principles of how to cook, how to eat, what to eat &
when etc.
Vagbhata has written the SUTRAS after physically
experimentation including on himself and after deep
meditation only and hence the SUTRAS are 100%
applicable to India. 8
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Vagbhata lived for 135 years.
Unfortunately, this important health science
which has a great bearing on health of Indians
and hence on the intelligence and productivity,
is not made part of our curriculum in schools &
colleges.
With increased diseases, people are now at a
loss and are groping for solutions.
In these times of crisis, solutions given by
Vagbhata are a God gift and need to be spread
to relations, friends and one and all. 9
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The tips given in the booklet help more in
prevention of on set of diseases than curing
diseases.
In case you are suffering from any diseases do
take allopathic medicine treatment along with
following principles given in the booklet.
Allopathy cures only symptom and not cause of
disease.
10
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Example:
1) Lips breakage in due to excess Vatam
)Applying vaseline alone will not cure the
problem.
)But controlling vata by applying oil massage
will control the disease.
2) If you are suffering from kidney problem which
is due to excess Pitta. If excess Pitta is not
controlled in the body and only kidneys are
treated, the disease then attacks next weak
part in the body say liver etc.
11
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The CD/DVD is of 685 MB and lasts 8 hours.
Shri Rajiv Dixit after lot of research & discussion
with modern day Allopathic, Ayurveda doctors
have selected key Sutras of Vagbhata and
explains with scientific reason about various
aspects of cooking, eating etc.
As many do not have time to spare 8 hours, I
have prepared the Actionable points given by
Maharshi Vagbhata. To make the healthy tips
complete, I have taken important tips from other
authors as given in References.

worst material for storing or cooking materials. 29
Brass vessel Aluminium vessel
30
Brass vessel Aluminium vessel

34
Why Pressure Cooker Food looses Nutrients
A food items which take more time for growth, requires
more time for cooking
For evolution of any item, time is required.
For example, birth of a child takes 9 months. Protein &
nutrients (Vitamins & minerals will not come out, if cooking
is done FAST say in a cooker, microwave oven etc.
In Dhal, absorption of nutrients takes over 8 months.
Hence, dissolving of nutrients for assimilation by MAN takes
more time.
Pressure Cooker:-
All nutrients of food do not dissolve & hence not available
for consumption and hence purpose of taking food is not
served.
35
Benefits of cooking in earthen vessels
Cooking in Earthen Vessels is best:
Alternate Brass & Bronze
Research: - Food cooked in Earthen vessels do not
decay easily.
Example: Dhal of Puri Jagannath temple Prasad
tested at Delhi & found no decay.
Earth has 18 micro-nutrients and food cooked in
earthen ware, micronutrients will be intact.
Pressure Cooker 87% nutrients lost
Bronze Vessels 3% lost
Brass - 7% lost 36
Cooking in Earthen Vessels

as maize cools the body. (for south indians)
Wheat Flour has maximum life of 15 days.
Maize / Chana etc. Maximum life 7 days.

3.3 How to Drink Water
Consumption of Water
90% of diseases are due to stomach. Proper digestion of
food in stomach is very important. Water plays an

three doshas. It is important to realize that, these are
forces and not substances.
Kapha is not mucus - it is the force that causes mucus
to arise. Similarly, Pitta is not bile- but force that cause
bile to be produced.
II(a) Strongest Dosha in Body has the tendency to
increase & one is more susceptible to illnesses
associated with an increase of the Body constitution
doshas.
Example: If one is Pitta type, then Pitta type diseases are
common. So, avoid Pitta type foods especially during lunch.

Chapter 6
6.0 VATA & Its Nature
In villages sudi gali (spiral air) comes, akash is in red and villages
run away from it and keep all their belongings inside house and
close windows and doors.
If we do not close doors, then dust will enter our house
To clean dust, vacuum cleaners are offered as a technological
solution
In a similar analogy, if excess of air comes inside our body, we
do not protect our body
If we feel stiffness in legs, hands, neck, stomach, shoulders etc
be sure that vatam is more in your body
Paralysis: when vatam in body becomes excess, paralysis results
Similarly parkinson disease. If your hand is shaking then vatam
is more 100
Highest speed item in micro world? Mind
Macro world highest speed air
If air is in rhythm even if at speed, then no
problem
Veena Rhythm is there
Brake dance no rhythmvata diseases will
increase if brake dance is practiced
Heart diseases, acidity etc more of vata disease
than pitta
Acidity : food doesnt move inside body
stays for more time in body
as a result acids are formed 101
When something is in stomach, acid is released
to digest the food. If food doesnt move even
after digestion, excess acids released stay in
stomach and damage the intestines and also
increase acidity of blood.
Constipation vata related disease
Breathing problem asthma vata diseases
Heartbeats vata
Rhythmic air movement does not increase vata
It is only unrythmic air causes increase in vata
102
6.1 Excess Vata & Diseases
Vata mixture of akaash & air
Akaash inactive
Air 5 gunas
Speed
Touch
Coolness
Self occupation of space
Diseases due to excess vata
Paralysis
Heart
Arthritis
Acidity
Constipation
Asthma
Thyroid
Air should be systematic (laya type) like classical sangeet. 103
6.2 First property of Air = Speed
Ceiling fan
Increases vata
Dont sleep directly under ceiling fan
Sleep away from fan
Fan speed to be slow
Use pedestal fan instead of ceiling fan
Cover ears with monkey caps, light weight
bed sheet & Cover body with bed sheets
Driving motor cycle
Dont run fast
Train journey
Do not sit near window 104
Ceiling Fan Pedestal Fan
105
6.3 Second property of Vatam : Dryness
What we do if lips dry/break ? we apply vassoline
But vatam is increased not only in lips but also entire
body.
The increase of vatam is expressed as breakage of lips.
We should not restrict to applying Vaseline we should
treat entire body.
Similarly dandruff
Apply oil for hair
Also massage oil over entire body.
Similarly cracks in feet
Instead attending to basic cause i.e., increase in vatam,
we try to treat the symptom alone. 106
Vaseline Oil massage on body
107
If we do not reduce vatam inside body, it will
reach intestines
If intestines become dry, then food will not
move.
This leads to constipation.
Constipation is due to vata excess.
Nature cure people give Enema to
constipation people which further dries the
intestines and increases vata in body and hence
constipation aggravates.
108
The patient becomes chronic patient what to
do?
Add ghee in milk. If we neglect, dryness (i.e.,
vata increase) it reaches blood vessels
Any dry product gets solidify.
The arteries become locked.
As there is dryness in arteries, heart has to
pump blood at high pressure so that blood
reaches all parts of body.
High blood pressure controller take pure
desi cow ghee. 109
If arteries become dry, cholesterol get stuck up
on the walls of bold vessels.
Solution: Take pure desi cow ghee. Ghee should
be prepared using hand and wooden tool and not
aluminium/steel tool and should not use
machines as is being done now a days in
factories.
Due to use of machines, friction is generated
which spoils the Pranashakti in ghee.
If you neglect further, cholesteroal reaches blood
vessels & stick to veins and obstruct flow of blood
110
6.4Third property of vatam is coolness
Coolness increases vatam
In cold climate, pains increase for vata patients
like heart disease, asthma etc.,
90% pains in body are due to excess vata.
Present day fashion starter
If starter is not in your body then why go to a
dinner?
starter culture is for cold climate countries.
Blind imitation of west is doing immense
damage to health of Indians.
111
6.4 Third property of vatam is coolness

dinner spoils whatever eaten.
If you want to eat ice cream, eat before dinner.

pure coconut oil in ears & not parachute oil
once in 2 days. Then close ears with cotton
Also use 1-2 drops of ghee in nostrils.
When you sleep directly under fan, your face
becomes bulge in the morning.
Whenever you are on fasting take hot water.
114
Do not take cold fruit juices during fasting time.
Prolonged fastness leads to entry of air and
leads to various diseases.
Pain in hands, legs, back pain etc.
Some people are very thin due to excess vata
Vayu dries a person.
Similarly obesity is due to excess vata.
When excess air enters, leads to obesity.
115
When air is removed, body becomes thin
Taking pure cow ghee reduces 8-10 kg weight in
2-3 months.
First learn mother tongue and then learn
other languages.
30 years back obesity due to excess air

a man/woman is a big transformation
Do not take cold items for 40 days after marriage.
Taking cold items vata property of dryness will
increase

and soft mind becomes rigid.
As a result, adjustment becomes difficult.
Any product when dries becomes rigid.
What to eat? Ghee, sweet products
Do not eat maida based products
Do not eat pizzas/bhel pooris
Do not take dried/burnt products after marriage

Brain is always in heated condition as it works always.
Brain works better under cold conditions
Air conditioning
Now and then brain to be given rest and to be cooled
Max damage to an organ due to pitta diseases. Eg.
Kidney disease, liver damage, uterus damage.
After many years of increase of pitta, organs get
damage. 127
Early detection of increase in pitta and measures to
control pitta will help a lot.
When pitta is excess, we should not take cold products
ex.hot bulb if cold water is poused.
Bulb gets fused. So take products which control pitta like
a radiator of a car. Then pitta in body will be in balance.
12 AM sun at peak , if you take fruit juice, pitta
increases
We should take products which cool body in the
morning. By 12, body becomes cool
Heat does not increase in the afternoon
Eating icecream, cold drinks, fruit juices during
afternoon to be avoided 128
7.1 Migraine due to excess of PITTA
With increase in sun rays, migraine increases
Take cool items in the morning
Migraine pain will be less
Take water from POT. Water in copper vessel to be taken
in winter only or during Kapha period at most i.e., 8 AM

Silver is a cool metal
Drink water in a silver vessel or heat pure silver (10gm)
and put in a water vessel.
Drink 4-5 times a day and Pitta will be under control.
129
Silver coin in water controls PITTA
7.2 How to identify Excess PITTA
If your legs & hands sweat and sweat has bad smell then
heat is increasing inside body.
If you neglect for 8-10 years heart will be damaged.
If your urine is yellow, then heat is more in body. If after
taking water also, urine is yellow, it implies that there is
excess Pitta inside the body.
Bad smell from body, do not control bad smell by
perfumes. Control the cause of bad smell i.e., increase in
Pitta. Take cool products
Cold and nose watering. In mother tongue, cold is called
cold due to hot. In English hot is gone.
Cold is due to excess pitta.

130
7.3 How to control PITTA
Summer: drinking water in silver vessels or silver coin
in a pot containing water is ideal.
Drink coconut water in the morning to control PITTA

their positive effect. 132
7.3 How to control PITTA
Take groundnuts in the morning only. Evening gas will
be produced. Groundnuts will cool the body.
Buttermilk : buttermilk will not cool the body like coconut
water. Hence it can be taken during afternoon also .
In everyones body, some organ will be weak. Disease
attacks that organ first.
Liver weak: if pitta is more, liver gets damage. Allopathic
doctorgives tonic/tablets & treats liver only. But if pitta
is not controlled, then, pitta attacks next weak organ.
If pitta is not controlled, then, pitta may damage kidney ,
then heart etc.
Basic cause of a disease is not treated in allopathy. Only
symptom is treated which is bad.
133
7.4 TIPS FOR KIDNEY PATIENTS
Kidneys purify blood - how? They remove the
bad items in blood in the form of water. Same
duty is performed by skin
We should work so that we sweat profusely. But
what we do?
We keep a kidney patient in A.C room or ICC?
Disease aggravates.
Kidney patients should do works which result in
sweating.
Kidney patient is asked to take less water to
avoid load on kidneys.
134
Due to less water, Pitta increases kidney gets
damage fast
Some other organ will also get damage due to pitta.
Until pitta is controlled, one organ after another will
be attacked and damaged.
Steam bath is ideal for kidney patients.
Apply ghee on foot and rub bottom of foot with
bronze plate
Give coconut water in the morning
Ghee to be taken with food in the morning and
night
Buttermilk in the afternoon
135

cancer or tumors, cysts etc.
Any infection in body is due to excess pitta
Pitta nature is bad odour. Bad odour comes
from decayed products
Infection means decay throat/urine/blood
infection is due to excess pitta.
136
7.5 Why Pitta increases in body?
(a) Anger (Krodham)
When some one speaks with anger, we say he is
speaking like a mad fellow
When pitta increases, budhi doesnt not function
properly
Remedy is not giving water
It aggravates further
Correct Remedy
with folded fist, hit pillow/mattress 10 times
Energy of anger will be earthed
Anger energy has to be diverted
137
In office: hold your fist as well as tighten the leg
muscles and then release. Anger energy will be
released.
When children make mistake, do not get angry and
beat them
Children should be made to understand the mistake
When someone comes to home in angry mood do not
give masalas etc, but give sweets/ cool products
Oil increases pitta
Ghee reduces pitta
We can control pitta, vata & kapha with right kind of
food at right time.
Summer: After mangoes, take milk or take neredu
fruit.
138
(b)Second reason for increasing pitta is sorrow
Due to sorrow pitta increases
Face luster goes away
Whenever there is change, pitta increases
(c) Third reason for increase of Pitta is fear
Face becomes green/yellow in fear
Fear of money
If kings are in fear, people will be in fear
Woman fear of safety
Many diseases due to fear
Americans killed red Indians for comforts/riches
After riches are over they are selling arms
One day arms will fall on USA itself 139
(d) Fourth reason for increasing Pitta is jealousy
Jealousy may lead to cancer also.
Serials in TV are spoiling the society
Joint family system collapsed
Husband & wife getting separated
More TVs will be sold if No. of families are more.
Hence wrong values system propagated through TV
serials.
Ads in TV are causing further damage
When TV came to India, TB has come to India
If we are away from TV, both pitta & vata will be
controlled.
Because of above 4 reasons, pitta increases manifold.140
7.6 Malaria & Excess Pitta
October heat increases pitta increases
(sharad) taking payasam controls pitta
malaria comes only when pittam is excess
mosquitos pumps bacteria into body blood
if pitta is balanced, bacteria cant do anything
Mosquitos bite lakhs of people but only few
are getting malaria
Rainy season mosquitos are more
coconut water in morning (heat is controlled)
cheese to children (heat is controlled)
pakodi in the morning (heat is produced) 141
7.7 How to celebrate HOLY for Health ?
holy comes in vasanta season ie., just before onset of
summer
We get drench during holyday
Earth & cow dung sticks to body for 5-6 hours
Body gets coolness and gets ready for summer
Coolness in body protects us from possible diseases due to
heat in summer
Carrot shouldnt be taken after vasanta season
Carrot produces pitta
Sravana month shouldnt take milk as it increases vata
Cows eats grass and leaves milk produced will have more
vata

.Kapha --- ahamkara (body)
.Pitta --- budhi (intellect)
.Vata --- mind (mind)
.Common property of kapha & vata is coolness
.Obesity may be due to vata or kapha.
.If you reduce weight by taking ghee, vata alone is
excess. If weight is not reduced, kapha is also excess 144
Ahamkaram when I is added, it becomes
ahamkara
I have money
I am a rich man ahamkara
I am man, woman ahamkara
Ahamkara has high inertia and doesnt leave us
easily
If inertia enters, it cant leave easily
If a kapha person becomes sick, he becomes a
chronic patient
145
Kapha is a sticky product & is heavy.
Kapha increases Blood Pressure.
Heavy weight items have gravitational
pull.
Gravitation increases Blood Pressure.
Light foods to be taken.
To reduce Blood Pressure, body is
tempted towards sleep.
High B.P. patients should sleep more.
B.P. is less in sleep & more in walking
state. 146

popularity because they are resulting in happier,
smarter, and less hyperactive children.
Parents who follow these guidelines are also
finding their lives less stressful and more
fulfilling.
To have children who are smart, loving and
helpful makes life a breeze compared to dealing
with children who are out-of-control,
hyperactive, unfocused, and even violent and
aggressive.
9.6 Your Childs Brain
Just as the traditional "Authoritarian" and
"Punitive" style of parenting has become
outdated, so has the approach to eating
which does not take into consideration the
unhealthy effects different types of foods
have on your childs brain.
167
9.7 Preservatives & Effect on Children
Preservatives are used to increase shelf life.
By just removing harmful preservatives, you
will notice a difference in your child's
behavior.
Apart from unhealthy hydrogenated oils,
trans fats, artificial flavor and coloring, salt
and sugar, packaged foods high in
preservatives affect brain development.
168
9.8 Sugar and White Flour Products
Refined white sugar, as well as foods made with
processed white flour, is an addictive processed
food that acts more like a drug.
It reduces thyroid function, causes tooth decay,
causes mood swings, impairs healing, and
adversely affects the immune system.
Reduce sugar, or eliminate it completely, from
your child's regular diet. This will increase
concentration levels, immunity to diseases, and
improve behavior, as well as prevent thyroid
disease and tooth decay.
169
9.9 Sugar and White Flour Products
White rice is a processed food. The bran has
been removed, which changes the rice from a
complex carbohydrate rich in protein and B
vitamins to a simple carbohydrate, which raises
blood sugar levels and contributes to diabetes.
Try to substitute brown rice or include it in the
diet, along with whole grain breads.
Giving seeds and nuts to your child instead of
fried snacks, like chips, will give your child
Omega 3 fatty acids, which are known to
improve brain function and reduce heart disease
and attention deficit disorders. 170
9.9 Diet & Children
"Mood swings, inability to concentrate, temper
tantrums, and the most significantlow self-
esteemare all the affects of too much sugar in
your child's diet." Kathleen DesMaison, Author
Little Sugar Addicts.
Do not send sweets, candy, chocolate, cookies,
or other foods high in sugar to school with your
child.
Avoid adding sugar to your child's milk.
Gradually, your child's sense of taste will return
to normal and the natural sweetness in foods
can be enjoyed. 171
9.9 Diet & Children
Instead of giving sugar, substitute natural, more
healthy sweeteners, like jaggery/gud, and honey,
but limit these to 2 times per week. Give fresh
and dried fruit if your child wants something
sweet. Try to limit cake, ice cream, and chocolate
to special occasions.
Important point: If you want to improve your
child's behavior, eliminate sugar completely from
the regular diet. We understand it is unrealistic
not to have something sweet for your child once
in a while, but on a daily basis, try to eliminate
sugar and you will see results within just days.
172
9.10 List of Common Foods
Below is a list of foods high in sugar and low in
nutrition that you should avoid giving your child
on a regular basis and foods you can substitute,
which are especially good for vegetarians.
(Substitutions are available at good
supermarkets, as well as Spencers, Fresh, and
Balaji).
Remember: natural foods may seem more
expensive but you use half the amount. 1/2 cup
of brown rice will be more satisfying than 1 cup
of white rice.
173
Old Choice Instead Try
Fruit Juices, water or fresh squeezed juice without
Sodas added sugar.
Chips salted nuts and seeds home fries
(potatoes cooked with less oil and salt,
not deep fried) sun dried products
made at home
Packaged homemade cookies with jaggery, &
cookies raisins and other dried fruit
biscuts

and Nan preservatives
Maggi whole wheat spaghetti, tube and spiral
Noodles pasta, whole wheat vermicelli with
homemade tomato sauce
Crackers carrot sticks and sliced apples
Ketchup homemade chutney made with
tomatoes, vinegar and jaggery
175
Store-bought Dry roasted peanuts at home ground
peanut butter in the mixer with a little salt until
creamy.
Sweets, such as raisins, til ladus made with jaggery in

gulab jamoon, decorative paper or on a stick, frozen
candy pieces of fruit on a stick, banana
fried with ghee and jaggery as a
treat.
Ladus made Dried fruit ladus without sugar

with sugar
176
White Rice brown rice, which has more fiber, B
vitamins to help brain development,
more protein, and doesn't raise blood
sugar levels. Try giving white rice and
brown rice as a start.
Puri Pulka
Curds with Curds with sliced banana and honey,

sugar raita
177
9.10 How Noodles are prepared ?
Stale Rice
Pig fat.
Noodles are worst kind of food. Noodles
damage the body more than any food. Avoid
Noodles completely.
178
9.11
Try to offer small portions of steamed
vegetables mixed with seasoned cold oil, salt
and lime, and offer as many varieties of sulads
as possible.
Avoid deep fried foods, which are considered
oxidized and high in cancer- causing free
radicals.
Organic, pesticide-free and preservative-free
foods are what nature intended.
179
9.12 Be Patient
Important: Some children who have been
eating candy and cookies and chips and other
packaged foods high in sugar on a regular
basis will go through sugar withdrawal when
you eliminate these foods, and their behavior
may get worse for a brief period of time. This
is normal. Stick it out. Be gentle and loving. It
will only last a short time before you see a
wonderful transformation.
180
9.12 Set Example
Be consistent and firm about dietary changes.
Bad habits don't change j3vernigh. Once the
addiction to sugar and unhealthy fried and
processed foods is broken, your child will be
smarter, healthier, and happier and able to
appreciate the goodness in natural foods.
Also, children learn by example. Follow these
guidelines along with your child.

Chapter 12
12.0 PERSONAL HYGIENE
The term personal hygiene is often confused and

equated with personal cleanliness.
Cleanliness is certainly a part of personal hygiene,
but the scope of personal hygiene is much wider.
It is the science of preserving and promoting health
mainly through the active efforts of an individual.
It is practiced through sanitary habits and healthy
way of life.
Personal hygiene is primarily within the scope of an
individual. 214
12.0 PERSONAL HYGIENE
ill health is due to the unfavorable reaction
between an individual, the disease producing agent
and the environment.
If an individual is constitutionally strong enough,
and is well trained in observing good personal
hygiene, he can completely neutralize the adverse
effects of the offending agents and the unfavorable
environment.
This state of personal health can be acquired only
through ones own active efforts. All that is
required to be done in order to attain and promote
such a level of health, constitutes the science of
215
12.1 KNOWLEDGE OF HEALTH & DISEASE
As a first step, it is necessary to have

fundamental knowledge about health, what it is
and how to acquire it, and about disease, how
one suffer from it and how to prevent it. Best
strength is knowledge. To prevent illness and
acquire positive health, full knowledge of health
and disease is important.
216
12.2 MOTIVATION
Active efforts are possible only if one is well
motivated to be health.
All depends on how much importance does
one give to health and what is ones attitude
towards health.
Health is not the aim of life, but the means.
Without health, very little can be done.
Happiness and efficient productivity are the
fruits of good health.
217
12.2 MOTIVATION
All must remember that excellent health is
the key of success in life and every one must
possess it.
No one is perfectly healthy. A healthy man
can become healthier and so long as man
lives in the world of aggressive agents and the
hostile environment, it is absolutely necessary
to practice personal hygiene.
218
12.3 PERSONAL COMFORT & HEALTH
Personal comfort is a valuable asset for happy life
and efficient work. It is always productive.
Personal comfort depends on the physical
environmental factors like proper ventilation,
atmospheric temperature, adequate lighting, etc.
The personal factors like bathing cleaning and
change of clothing and foot-wear, and the social
factors like satisfactory pecuniary condition, good
occupational and working conditions, family life
and good social friends attribute towards
personal comfort & Health 219
12.3 PERSONAL COMFORT & HEALTH
Personal comfort is a valuable asset for happy life
and efficient work. It is always productive. Personal
comfort depends on the physical environmental
factors like proper ventilation, atmospheric
temperature, adequate lighting, etc., the personal
factors like bathing cleaning and change of clothing
and foot-wear, and the social factors like satisfactory
pecuniary condition, good occupational and working
conditions, family life and good social friends.
220
12.4 PERSONAL COMFORT
Ventilation House and the place of work
should not be stuffy and over-crowded. There
must be proper circulation of air.
Lighting it should be adequate for the
purpose, e.g., more light is necessary for close
and delicate work like repair of a wrist-watch,
and much less light may be sufficient for a
work like masonry or carpentry. Glare as well
as excessive shadowing should be avoided.
221
Clothing clothes should be properly selected
and changed according to the season. Clothes
should be white or lightly coloured, thin and
loose in summer. During winter, heavy, dark
coloured and well fitting clothes are more
protective. Aesthetically and from the point of
a clean habit, clothes should be changed and
washed daily.
222
Footwear footwear should be wisely selected
and used. Little oversized is better than an
undersized shoe.
Foot-wear should not be uncomfortable and
should not hamper the free movements of the
feet. Shoes and other foot-wear should be
maintained in good order.
Regular use of shoes not only protects the feet
from mechanical injuries, but also from diseases
like tetanus, warts, hook-worm disease, bites, etc.
223
12.5 PERSONAL CLEANLINESS & HEALTHY HABITS
Clean habits are basic to good health. This is

because the environment in which man lives is
full of harmful agents and unless contact with
them is avoided, one is likely to suffer from the ill-
effects resulting from such agents. Apart from
taking a bath daily and wearing clean clothes,
developing other clean habits from early
childhood is of prime importance
224
Washing feet on entering the house.

Washing hands thoroughly with soap and
water every time after going to toilet or
latrine and before taking food.
Cleaning teeth in the morning and again
before going to bed.
Cleaning hair, cutting the nails short, are all
examples of hygienic habits.
225
Clean habits and use of soap will reduce the
chance of getting infection and spreading it
to others.
Eyes also need special care.
Regularity of bowel movement every day is
necessary for the preservation of health.
No. of motions/bowels = No. of times one
takes food in a day.
226
Cleanliness is also a social responsibility and

everyone should help to keep the public
places like roads, parks, offices etc., clean.
The habits like indiscriminate spitting and
throwing rubbish are detrimental to health.
Acts like coughing and sneezing are likely to
spread many diseases and during such acts a
handkerchief should always be used to cover
the mouth.
227
Unfortunately, some habits which are not of

any advantage, have now proved to be
harmful.
The best examples are of smoking and
chewing of tobacco, and excessive alcohol
drinking.
Smoking is a habit commonly indulged in,
but it is proved to be definitely harmful to
health.
228
12.6 ILL EFFECTS OF SMOKING & TOBACCO CHEWING
Excessive smoking has been shown to be a

causative factor in diseases like lung cancer,
high blood pressure, coronary heart disease,
etc.
Smoking also causes irritation of the respiratory
passage. Smokers not only have poor health
bur have also a shorter life on account of the
diseases mentioned above.
Tobacco chewing is similarly a harmful habit as
this is shown to be the commonest cause of
cancer of the mouth. 229
12.7 ILL EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL
Alcoholism is a social, moral and economic
disaster, and also has a profound effect on
health.
It may lead to mental depression, chronic gastric
complaints, degeneration of the tissues of the
heart and arteries, and death due to the liver
failure.
The evidence against these harmful habits is so
clear that one should not be hesitant in giving
them up.
230
Chapter 13
13.0 NUTRITION
Good nutrition is the foundation of good health.

Diet should not only be adequate but also be
balanced.
Regularity in meal times is very important.
It is an excellent habit not to take the same
articles of food as a routine, but have as much
variety in food as possible.
231
Chapter 13
13.0 NUTRITION
Food that has been exposed to house-flies

should not be eaten.
Food should always be covered to prevent
dust and flies contaminating it.
Cheaper foods may not be necessarily not
nutritious, e.g. green vegetables are cheaper,
but still are of greater nutritional value than
costlier vegetables like cauliflower.
232
13.1 EXERCISE AND ACTIVITY
Regular and moderate exercise tones up the
various systems of the body, maintains weight
and the physiological efficiency of the body, and
keeps one active ad cheerful.
Swimming and active outdoor games give good
exercise.
Sedentary life coupled with the intake of
excessive food may lead to obesity, especially if
there is a familial tendency of the same.
Exercise and physical activity help to keep the
body fit.
233
13.2 REST AND RECREATION
Relaxation is necessary to avoid fatigue and
to regain efficiency.
Sleep required for an adult is for 6-8 hours.
More sleep is, however, required for children.
Rest after heavy physical and mental activity
is refreshing.
One should have varied interest in life.
Hobbies, friends, trips, vacations, etc., make
life cheerful and help to keep the mind in
proper poise. 234
13.3 IMMUNIZATION AND PREVENTION OF
INFECTION
One must protect oneself and the children in
the family against the common preventable
diseases like smallpox, diphtheria, whooping
cough, tetanus, typhoid, poliomyelitis, etc.
Immunization against all these diseases is
simple and effective.
In order to avoid infection, it is best not to
take children with ourselves, while visiting
hospitals and sick friends and relatives.
235
13.3 IMMUNIZATION AND PREVENTION OF
INFECTION
After visiting or attending on a person who is
ill, especially if he is suffering from an
infectious disease, it is wise to change the
clothes and to thoroughly wash the hands
and other exposed parts of the body.

13.4 HEALTH CHECK UP
Any defect in the body should be corrected as
soon as it is detected.
Any physical deformities like squinting eye,
carious teeth, etc., should be corrected.
Many diseases can be effectively treated and
cured if diagnosed at an early stage.
Examples of such diseases are many, e.g. cancer
of various parts of the body, tuberculosis,
diabetes, etc.
Yearly medical check-up is very valuable in this
respect.
237
13.5 PRINCIPLES OF NUTRITION
Food is one of the basic necessities of life. It
is required for several purposes.
If enough food is not taken, one feels hungry
and does not have the necessary energy to
attend to our work.
Food is required to supply the body-building
materials necessary for an infant to grow into
an adult or for an adult to replace the daily
wear and tear in tissues occurring in the
course of normal living.
238
Certain materials needed in small amounts by the
body and which help to assimilate the food and
keep the body mechanisms in proper shape and
working order are also provided by food itself.
Optimum nutrition is essential for maintenance of
good health.
Nutrition of the body means the supply of
essential nutrients in adequate quantities and in
proper proportions to all the cells and tissues of
the body so as to keep the structure and functions
of the body in a sound state.
239
This is effected by ingesting food and water,
and digesting and assimilating the same.
Diet is nothing else but a combination of
different foods as they are available in nature.
Such a combination is essential because there

is no single food which will give man each and
every nutrient in proper proportion required
for nourishing the body cells.
240
It is needless to say that the selection of a diet
good for health, both the working knowledge of
the basic principles of nutrition and the art of
preparing food, are essential. For nourishment
of the cells, the basic principles involved are :
1. Water
2.Digestive end products of proteins,
carbohydrates and fats
3. Vitamins
4. Minerals.
241
WATER : Water forms about 70% of the body
weight and is an important constituent of all
body cells. All the chemical reactions and
processes in the body take place in the medium
of water. Sufficient quantity of water should,
therefore, be taken daily. More water is
required in summer than in winter.
FOOD : The three basic components of food are
proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Richness or
otherwise of the various foods, is dependent on
the proportion and the quality of these
components present in the foods.
242
13.6 PROTEINS
These are very complex nitrogen containing
substances. These are formed by different
combinations of about 20 amino-acids.
Ten of the amino-acids are absolutely
essential for proper nutrition and a diet
should provide these adequately and in
proper proportion.
Proteins are essential for the growth and
repair of the tissues of the body and also for
body defense.
243
13.6 PROTEINS
Daily requirement of proteins for adults is
about 1 gm per kg body weight.
In children, the daily requirement is higher
and because of their active growth they may
require 2 to 3.5 gms per kg body weight
(Table 1).
Nutritive value of a protein is dependent on
its essential amino-acid make-up and its
digestibility.
One gram of protein yields about 4 calories.

13.7 CARBOHYDRATES
These are chemical compounds containing carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen.
They are formed by combination of various sugars
and occur in nature as sugars, starch and cellulose
depending on the simplicity or complexity of the
chemical structure.
Carbohydrates give energy on which all the
activities of life are dependent.
One gram of carbohydrate yields about 4 calories.
Body cells utilize simple sugars to form heat which
is converted into energy for maintaining life.
246
13.7 CARBOHYDRATES
Cellulose is indigestible, nevertheless it gives
roughage which is valuable as a mechanical
stimulant to the bowel and prevents
constipation.
Indian diets contain proportionately higher
quantity of the carbohydrates and much less of
the proteins.
After supplying the body needs for proteins and
fats, sufficient quantity of carbohydrates should
be included in our diet to make up the total
caloric requirements.
247
13.8 FATS
These are also the energy giving foods but
these are concentrated sources.
One gram of fat gives 9 calories
approximately.
These fats, in addition, give taste to the food
and make the diet palatable.
This is why people crave for fried foods like
Vadas or Bhajias.
248
13.8 FATS
Fats are costly and for the proper health of
the body, one should not have more than 15%
of the total calories from the fats.
Daily intake of about 45 to 60 gms for an adult
is all that is necessary.
It is preferable to have a considerable portion
of this quantity from the vegetable oils.

13.9 VITAMINS
These do not give any calories, but they are
indispensable in regulating the chemical
processes in the body metabolism.
Vitamins stimulate growth of the body and
prevent a number of deficiency diseases.
Vitamins are, therefore known as the
Protective Foods.
They are usually referred to by letters. Vitamins
A, D, E and K are fat soluble; the rest are water
soluble (Table 4) i.e. B&C.

13.10 MINERAL
On an average, man excretes daily about 20
to 30 gms of mineral salts, consisting mostly
of chlorides, sulphates and phosphates of
sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium.
It is but natural that all these must be
replenished daily through the food-stuffs.
Similarly, a large number of other elements
like iron, calcium, copper, cobalt etc., play a
vital role in the body metabolism
261
13.10 MINERAL
As a general rule, one can remember that a
diet which is otherwise adequate in proteins,
fats, carbohydrates and vitamins will provide
all the minerals in sufficient quantities. The
table 5 deals with the two important minerals
which may be deficient in a poor diet.
262
13.11 BALANCED DIET
For proper nutrition of the body, sufficient
amounts of proteins, carbohydrates, fats,
water, vitamins and minerals are essential.
As no single foodstuff gives this, it is necessary
that a good diet should contain all these
principles in correct proportions and in
adequate quantities.
Such a diet which ensures supply of all the
essential nutrients in known as a balanced
diet.
263
13.11 BALANCED DIET
It is not enough to provide a balanced diet,
but the food should be palatable and liked by
the people.
The art of preparation of good and appetizing
food has no limit.
One of the golden rules is to eat varied foods
which not only avoid monotony, but ensure
better nutrition.
264
Chapter 14
14.0 ADULTERATION OF FOOD
Population explosion.
Shortage of food grains
Adulteration of food items increased from
1990s
Adulteration leads to decreases in nutrients and
off late poisonous items are added to food
items.
265
14.0 ADULTERATION OF FOOD
Adulteration affects both rich and poor.
Due to increased prices, common man forced
to save money by buying cheap food items.
Cheap food items may be adulterated and
prone poisonous to health.
Evil effects of adulteration of food on health is
slow and hence we do not suspect adulteration
of food.
Adulterated food if consumed over a long
period has adverse effects.
266
14.1 EFFECTS OF ADULTERATED FOOD
Lack of growth in children.
Causes illness among children/adults due to
decreased power of resistance to diseases.
Person takes treatment for his illness but his
attention is not drawn to adulteration of
food.
Common man buys cheap food grains
without knowing food grains are adulterated
& lack in nutrition.
267
14.1 EFFECTS OF ADULTERATED FOOD
News reports now and then in press is not
alerting all common man about ill effects of
buying adulterated food.
Adulteration of mustard oil with argamone
oil causes heart diseases, blindness etc.
Adulteration of sweets with argamone oil
caused dropsy.
268
14.2 TYPES OF FOOD ADULTERATED
Adulteration of food increasing in India
In Maharashtra out of 20,000 samples, 30 to
55% samples of food found adulterated.
Initially, milk & milk products only are
adulterated.
Now all kinds of food are adulterated.
269
14.3 TYPES OF FOOD ADULTERATED
With all-round development everywhere, there
was an increase in the incidence of adulteration of
food. No foodgrain or eatable is now exempt from
adulteration. In Maharashtra, in 1966, the
following percentage of articles were found to be
adulterated :
Ice cream and Ice fruit 70.6% Milk 33.9%
Curds 67.2% Chilly powder 22.5%
Asaphatida 65.3% Ghee 18.4%
Sherbats, Soda, Lemon etc. 50.0% Edible oils 4.04%
Butter 44.5%
270
14.4 HOW IS ADULTERATION DONE
Adding artificial & poisonous colours to increase
weight and boost sales.
Substances of cheap or low quality are mixed.
Sand, growel or dust are often mixed with food
grains.
Difficult to separate adulterated with wheat
flour, gram flour or chilly powder.
Iron particles can be separated by magnet.
271
Lakhi pulse consumption causes lathyrism i.e.
Patient walks zig-zag with sticks.
Lakhi pulse can be grown easily along with
wheat without much water and also grows in
barren soil.
Poor farmers without knowing bad effects, grow
it in madhya pradesh.
272
14.4 ADULTERATION OF MILK PRODUCTS
Water mixed in milk after cream is removed.
If water is infected with germs, causes
Diarrhoea & Typhoid.
Sweetdish of milk pulp of bottling paper
mixed.
Ghee/Butter Vansapathi oil is mixed.
Oils - Cheap quality of oil mixed with high cost
oils.
273
Chilly powder is mixed with salt, dust of wood,
earth fine sand or talcum powder and injurious
colours prepared from coal-tar are added to make
it attractively red.
Pulses and turmeric are rendered yellow with the
use of the injurious colour of metallic yellow.
The used tea leaves are coloured with ferrous
sulphate and mixed with fresh tea leaves. Fine
sugar is mixed with washing soda.
Cinnamon is mixed with the bark of other trees
after colouring and scenting the same.
Saw dust or even horse-dung is mixed with spices.
274
Asaphatida is very often adulterated.
Sherbats and other drinks and sweets are often
mixed with injurious coal-tar colours whose use
is prohibited by law.
Saccrine and the injurious chemical saline
whose use is prohibited is used instead of sugar.
According to the law of Prevention of Food
Adulteration, a specific mention must be made
on the container if Saccarin is used in a food
article.
275
14.7 CONSIDERATION OF LAW
The law of Prevention of Adulteration of Food was
passed in 1954 and rules were subsequently framed on
that behalf.
According to this act, each state government passes its
own law and frames its own rules.
The rules framed by the Maharashtra State Legislature
have been brought into force since June 1964.
The Act is in force in other states also.
So far, the Act and its rules are applicable to the city
areas only.
Enforcement of the law is done by Municipalities and
Corporation according to their financial resources.
276
For this purpose, adulteration prevention officers
and food inspectors are appointed.
As per law, samples of food grains and other
eatable articles are collected from a shop-keeper in
the presence of two witnesses and are examined in
the food testing laboratories conducted by the
Health department of the Government.
According to the new act of 1964, it is incumbent
on the wholesaler who sells his articles (like grains,
oil, ghee or other sealed eatables) to a retailer to
write details of his goods in a Warranty form.
adulterated. 277
If a retailer or a wholesaler takes such warranty
from the producer, it is the producer and not
the retailer or the wholesaler who is liable for
prosecution in case the samples taken are found
to be adulterated.
The enactment of adulteration prevention act
has not proved enough of a deterrent.
We need to educate the public and carry on
propaganda against adulteration of food.
278
There should be a continuous and vigorous
campaign for prevention of food adulteration.
The rules in this behalf must be strictly applied
against producers and traders.
The producers and traders should also be
persuaded to desist from such a trade which is
anti-national as it is injurious to the health of the
people.
In fact, their cooperation should be sought to put
a stop of food adulteration.
279
14.5 HOW TO IDENTIFY ADULTERATED FOOD
Women can do a lot in preventing adulteration of
food, because they are mainly concerned with
making purchases and preparing food.
They can spot certain adulterations in their own
home.
The following are some of the examples:
More water is required to moisten wheat flour
that is mixed with chalk powder and a moistened
wheat flour does not have its usual sticky quality.
Tea powder coloured with ferrous sulphate, if put
in water makes the water coloured. 280
14.5 HOW TO IDENTIFY ADULTERATED FOOD
Pure asaphatida gets itself dissolved in water and
makes it milky and if burnt, gives out a flame.
If water added hydrochloric acid is dropped on
tuver pulse coloured with metallic yellow, the
colour at once becomes violet.
If hydrochloric acid and furfurol is mixed with ghee
adulterated with vanaspati, the ghee at once
becomes red.
Women should be able to spot such adulterations
immediately. They should insist on the quality
rather than the quantity of food articles
purchased. 281
14.6 HOW TO PREVENT ADULTERATION
Ladies Clubs should get prepared on a
cooperative basis such articles as spices, pickles,
chilly powder, scented betelnut, turmeric powder,
ghee, butter etc. with the help of needy women
and sell them at reasonable rates as this would
help prevention of adulteration of these
substances.
282
Pay attention to the following points to avoid the evil
effects of adulteration of food.
One must suspect adulteration of food in articles
that are being sold at rates cheaper than the
prevalent market rates.
Do not buy readymade spices. Prepare them at
home after buying the constituent articles.
Do not buy the attractively coloured red chilly
powder as the colour used is often harmful.
Prepare powder from chilles bought in the market.
283
Do not buy loose food articles. Buy them in
labeled original packing.
Do not buy sugar balls (laddus), sugar and milk
balls (pedhas) and other sweets which are
generally made in attractive colours.
In case of suspicion of adulteration of food, report
the same to the local health department or to the
food inspector.
284
Do not buy loose food articles. Buy them in
