Thank you dear God.

(લહેર પડી ગઈ, યાર!) – ચંદ્રકાંત બક્ષી

મારું મન
વિપરીત સ્થિતિમાં પણ
શાંત રહી શકતું હોય

હું ખડખડાટ
હસી શકતો હોઉં
અને
ઘસઘસાટ ઊંઘી શકતો હોઉં

મને ભૂખ
અને થાક
અને પ્યાસ
લાગી શકતાં હોય

મહારોગ
કે
દેવું ન હોય

મારું પોતાનું એક ઘર હોય
અને
એની નીચે મારાં સ્વજનો સાથે હું મારી દાલ ~ રોટી
ખાઈ શકતો હોઉં

 ચાય ની ચૂસકી લેતાં લેતાં  
શનિવારની સાંજે
મને ગમતા મારા મિત્ર કે મિત્રો સાથે બેસી  શકતો હોઉં

તો

થૅંક યૂ, ગૉડ !
મારી યોગ્યતા કરતાં તે મને ઘણું વધારે આપી દીધું છે!

અને
જીવનના છેલ્લા દિવસ 
સુધી બસ આટલું રહી શકે તો..

મરતી વખતે હું કહીશ..
લહેર પડી ગઈ, યાર !

Devi Shetty on life after 40

Dr. Devi Shetty writes: 

Lost 8/9 of my dearest acquaintances and some celebrities forever in last few years. They were in their forties and died because of the extra effort to be 'physically fit'.

In anything in life, the most important thing is moderation.
Neither the 'zero figure' nor the exaggeration of a hundred is correct.

A moderate amount of exercise is needed every day - about 20 minutes. 
Eat everything, no detoxification, no keto moto diet, eat everything your ancestors ate, all local and seasonal foods available in your town - but in small amounts. No need for exotic 🥝, kale🥬 or olive oil. 

7 hours of intensive sleep is required, the needs of the body must be met.
 
Eat everything you ate growing up, but in small amounts; 
Do twenty/thirty minutes of light exercise and a little walk regularly and stop taking supplements.

Add a few moments of silent meditation a day to your routine, this is best done through prayer.

Listen, understand and pay attention to your body 👅.

After 40 some physiological changes start, after 50 more, after 60 the body starts to relax, after 70 it starts to close, after 80 every year is a bonus. 

So 60 is the new 40 or age is just a number - stop saying that. These are not correct. 

After 40 or 50, be grateful if your health is intact, but slow down a bit to keep your heart rate up.

There are logical reasons for timing retirement. Your body and mind can no longer handle the pressure that you once could. You look great on the outside, thanks to your 'genes', but on the inside the organs are decaying.

Be happy and beautiful, not outwardly, but inwardly as well.

|| Footnote, 6 instructions:
▪20 minutes of light exercise
▪Walking regularly
▪Seven hours of deep sleep
▪Some time alone meditation
▪Eating all foods - in small amounts
▪Listening to the body and taking action accordingly.

No theory is universal, those who disagree, that's their right - I respect their opinion.

🙏Be happy internally and not externally.!!👏
