wise rules of long life that work
Probably, each of us would like to live happily ever after, look beautiful and maintain sobriety of mind until old age. Someone will say: “Wanting is not harmful,” and we will tell the real story of a woman who has lived for almost 103 years.
Eugenia Peterson, better known as Indra Devi, was born in Riga back in 1899 in the family of a Russian Swede and a famous actress. During the Civil War, she emigrated to Germany, and later to India. This woman became the first European to spread yoga practices around the world. Among her students were: Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, Gloria Swanson and other stars.
Eugenia knew 12 languages, loved to travel and make new friends. She was friends with Soviet party leaders, Hollywood celebrities and oriental philosophers. Indra lived a bright and eventful life, visited a secular lady and spiritual mentor. She died a week before her 103rd birthday.
About the wrong priorities
“We all know that for a healthy and happy existence, consumption of only water, air and sunlight is not enough for a person. We need food to keep our bodies young and strong.
. We take what is happening for granted, not at all thinking about the fact that illness and death are a completely logical result of the consumption of poisons that enter our body through malnutrition and lifestyle.
Television news and newspaper headlines scare us, make us sympathize with the unfortunate, but not take action. The reason for our poor health is an unhealthy diet. But who knows that asthma, the common cold, fever, arthritis, various heart and mental illnesses can be caused by toxins? Almost nobody".
About a healthy lifestyle, good nutrition and ... eccentrics
proper nutrition
“In my house you will never find the“ wrong ”food,” says the long-lived woman. - No canned food, bags or any other processed foods. Instead of white flour - whole grain flour, instead of polished white - brown rice, instead of sugar - honey. Fortunately, I am indifferent to desserts, so I don’t have chocolate and cocoa either. I drink coffee drinks with raw goat or soy milk, herbal tea, buttermilk, freshly squeezed juices and plenty of water with lemon. By the way, lemon perfectly replaces vinegar! ”
“I witnessed how people who quit bad habits and embarked on a healthy lifestyle, recovered, became better, and incredible transformations took place with them. Undoubtedly, yoga classes and the right diet work wonders (and I was convinced of this by my own example), but I ask you, do not become eccentrics who talk only about how they do the right thing. ”
