The prophet of Allah sallal lahu alihi wasallam mounted the pulpit, then wept and said,

' Ask Allah for forgiveness and health. For after being granted certainty one is given nothing better than health. '( Tirmizhi)

Good health is indeed a great bounty of Allah. The preservation of this blessing can only be achieved by expressing gratitude to Allah and taking utmost care of our health.

These tips will help you lead a healthy life. It takes 14 to 21 days of repetitive behavior to form a new pattern in your brain. Once the pattern is formed, it becomes an automatic behavioral response. As you develop new healthy habits, they will begin to replace bad habits.

EAT IN MODERATION.

Allah Tala says in the Qur'aan,

' Eat, drink, but avoid excess'

Eating excessively causes harm to our system. When you eat smaller portions five times a day, you deliver a steady stream of nuterients, blood sugar, and energy to your body throughout the day.

Additionally, eating this Way is less taxing on the digestive and metabolic systems and also reduces your risk of heart disease. The prophet of Allah sallahu alaihi wasallam said,

'No human has ever filled a container worse than his own stomach. The son of Adam needs no more than a few morsels of food to keep up his strength. In doing so he should consider that a third of his stomach is for food, a third for drink and a third for breathing.'

DAILY EXERCISE

The health benefits of a daily exercise program cannot be stressed enough. Regular exercise can help promote physicological well-being, strengthen the immune system, increase energy - and the list goes on.

Look for opportunities all through your day to work in physical activity. Praying optional prayers in addition to the obligatory prayers will not only improve physical health but mental concentration too. Powerwalk, run, or ride your bike instead of driving. Walk to the masjid instead of driving down. Do eleven sit-ups after fair daily. Women do your daily chores by yourself and see your health benefits pile up!

DRINK 8 GLASSES OF WATER EVERY DAY.
Water is essential for all healthy body functions. Water should be obtained from pure water sources located far from any city, free from chemicals and toxins.

Choose filtered water; the best filtration processes are the ones that use activated charcoal, which removes the impurities but leaves the water-soluble minerals.
Also, do not store water in plastic containers because the polychlorinated biphenyls ( PCBs) can Leach into the water.

UNWIND WITH MEDITATION.
Stress is the root cause of most life- threatening disease..In our modern society stress will continue to increase - unless you find techniques to manage it. Meditation is the best way to release tension and revitalize your being. It teaches you to breath properly,
Which is critical for eliminating up to 70% of your body's toxins and wastes. It also quietens your mind, lowers your stress hormones, and teaches self- discipline, which is a necessary attribute to achieving your health goals.

Try this beginning meditation:
Sit comfortably on a chair or the floor. Breath naturally and close your eyes. Try to hear the name 'Allah' with every beat of the heart. Each time a FUTILE OR bad thought comes to mind, out it inside a balloon and let it fly up into the sky and disappear. Do this until the thoughts are exhausted. After a while, your body will feel very light. And your mind will become still. The first few times it may take a while, but it will get easier and faster with practice.
