Diet works to prevent illness, increase energy and improve overall health. It relies on food as close to its natural state as possible. This means eating foods that do not contain artificial ingredients and are free of chemical preservatives and additives. The primary intake should ideally include organic whole foods that are as fresh as possible to ensure maximum nutritional value and life force.

1. Vegetables: All green leafy vegetables, Ash gourd, Ridge gourd, Apple gourd, Beet root, Turnip, Carrot, Cucumber, Spinach, Tomato etc.

Yoga helps in inculcating positive thoughts in children to distinguish between right and wrong and good or bad. It also helps them to cultivate good habits. Children are to be taught karma Yoga concept i.e. they should be taught in such a manner that they learn to work in harmony. They should be taught to remain happy and cheerful and thus creating a relaxed environment all around.
