General causes of water retention are excess of water intake, regular intake of cold or chilled water, intake of chilled drinks or juices, and excess of alkaline foods . Chemical salt available in the market is an important factor in water retention. Other general causes are water intake while eating food, Irregular eating pattern, lack of night sleep, prolonged stress and various medicines esp. hormones.

Water retention is part of the premenstrual syndrome. During this time, hormonal fluctuations can cause havoc in a woman’s body. In some women the monthly rise in estrogen raises the hormone aldosterone. Aldosterone, in turn, causes the kidneys to retain fluids and the woman to suddenly gain a few water-filled pounds.

While PMS is the major cause of water retention in women, water retention for both men and women can also be related to kidney problems, both serious (kidney disease) and common causes. Heart , liver, or thyroid malfunctions can also play a role in water retention. Thanks to the effects of gravity, retained water tends to accumulate in the feet, ankles, and legs, although no area of the body is immune. Other water prone areas are chin and eye esp. upper lids.

Symptoms of water retention:

These symptoms vary from person to person depending upon age, presence of other disease, gender, duration of water retention and level of water retention. I have seen two worst cases of water retention, one with sixty glasses of water and other with forty glasses of water. First one died due to heart and kidney failure, fate of the second one is unknown.

Bloating:

Bloating is the result of wind and water retention. Certain bodies have a tendency for retaining water and other types retain wind more.

Treatment:

• Water intake should be carefully regulated.
• Temperature of water and drinks should be close to the body temperature.
• For relieving water retention peanuts, raisins, black tea, coffee, dark chocolate, cloves, soups and high proteins can be used.

Hawai is a paradise on earth.

Hawaii is a land of blessings; I had a feeling that God loves this land more than any other part of the earth. In order to qualify the paradise title, land should have special characteristics, which this land has.

It has variety of fruits like papaya, pineapple, coconut, grapes, melons and mangoes which are match less in their sweetness.
Various types of vegetables, herbs and macadamias are part of their routine diet. Seafood is surplus; you see a lot of natural chickens roaming about freely. You can even hear roosters crowing at the break of dawn.

Hawaiian fabric has flowery and tribal patterns and is seen everywhere, even their security men wear Hawaiian shirts. A specific type of flower garland is presented to all incoming guests. A lot of beautiful coral and pearl jewelry is on display at all scenic sites.

Its eight islands are surrounded by the Pacific ocean and the land of Hawaii is also blessed with the world’s tallest mountain, Mauna Kea, which is about 4460ft (measured from its base in the sea), even taller than Mount Everest. Hawaii was born as a result of volcanic activity and its volcanoes are still active. One of the islands still has the ancient indigenous Hawaiian tribes living there and is disconnected from this modern world; their secrecy and privacy is sacred to this state. Imagine the amount of wisdom they have which manifests itself through unbelievable feats like fishing for sharks with their bare hands. Hawaii has dense forests which include rain forests also. Multiple springs and waterfalls add to the beauty of this land.

While staying there, Hawaiian people try to teach you their native language which has only 12 letters and on leaving the island you are frequently using words like Aloha (welcome or greetings) and Mahaloa (bye) very comfortably.

A lot of educational institutes and the famous Hawaiian university are in Honolulu. It’s a centre of research especially for marine biologists who have one of the islands all to themselves. This island was also chosen by God for the introduction of Quantum medicine to physicists. These physicists were given the courage and wisdom to scientifically prove the link between the quantum universe and human body. This science proves the link between God and human life. I have got maximum satisfaction to my knowledge hunger in this conference.

Hawaiian people are very warm in their customs, helpful and good learners. They live in harmony with nature. One common message observed is ‘respect animals’. They imprint this message in their children from a young age. Birds are comfortable with and fearless of humans. This phenomenon was very awe inspiring for me, and I realized how much in harmony these people were for humans, birds and the animal kingdom as well.

The land of Hawaii teaches us the lesson of harmony with nature, love for humans and animal kingdom. They are happy and thankful people of planet earth, therefore blessed by God as well.

Unfortunately the most unhealthy people I see in my practice are the youngsters.They are holistically unhealthy. 90% are suffering from subconscious depressions or a hyperactive mind syndrome. This syndrome leads to disturb relationships, behavioral disorders, lack of trust in themselves, selfishness, fatigue and poor performance at home, college and work.

These youngsters are suffering from weight gain-weight loss syndrome, high cholesterol, high fasting sugar, disturb hormones, poor reproductive health, bad cardiac health and speedy mental aging. In order to live a balanced and successful life one has to live through an individual, collective and universal conscious. Collective conscious makes you think about the betterment of family, society and country.

You can not enter into two higher beings with a physical body which is not nature aligned. The most fearful element which I find is, that their lifespan is shortening. Remember holistically unhealthy person is of no use for the country and is easily captured by evil forces. These forces distort their believes and faith and make them fearful and insecure. Only then these youngster indulge themselves into drugs, drinks and now high-tech gadget. My request to all the youngsters is please try to slow down, focus on your lifestyle especially dietary habits and try to focus on 6-8hours of night sleep.Only then you can excel in your respective fields.
