Increase Height & Weight
The bone structure must remain elastic if one is to become taller. One must take exercise
regularly. I suggest the following exercises will help one gain height:
(i) Stand in an open space in attention position. In hale deeply through the nose and extend
yours arms lifting then slowly up to your shoulders. Keep your arms straight. Hold that position
for
some time and then take the arms backwards as far as they will go. No inhale again the release
your breath slowly, resuming the former position.
(ii) Stand with your arms straight at right angles to your body. Lift the arms vertically and then
bring them to the level of the shoulders. Do not exhale in the process, but stand on your toes,
lifting your heels as far as they will go. Exhale slowly after some moments and resume the
earlier position.
(iii) Extend your arms forward up to the level of the shoulders. Inhale and fill your lungs to about
one-third of their capacity. Wait for a few moments and then take your arms above your head.
Now move them in a circular motion-taking them behind your back and in the former position
again. Exhale slowly.
How can one increase weight?
Take to a diet for three to four days. Take 100 to 150 grams of bran with the fruits. The best
way will be to mix bran with a fruit like papaya. It will increase appetite, improve the digestion
and remove costiveness, if any. One will tend to eat more and the capacity to assimilate food
will be increased.
Foods like flour, rice honey, raisins, figs, dates, butter, and etc. can help increase weight. Sweat
substances can increase weight than fatty foods. Those wishing to increase their weight should
become pure vegetarians and eat fruits, rice, flour, fresh vegetables, bananas, dry fruits, butter,
and milk. Germinated wheat is also extremely beneficial if taken in the form of gruel mixed with
hot
milk.
Take plenty of water, exercise and fast once a week.

During pregnancy the level of female hormones like progesterone and estrogen increases in the body. But after the birth of an infant child the hormonal level in females falls back at a very fast rate to acquire normal level. The doctor thinks that this rapid change in female hormonal level leads to depression symptoms. The symptoms includes headache, fast heart breathing, guilty feeling, no interest in friends and family, no interest in life, hopelessness, crying without any reason.
