Dengue virus is very fatal fever, it falls in the category of very chronicle diseases. Patients suffering from dengue should be diagnosed on time, otherwise any delay in the treatment may lose the life of the patient. Dengue virus occurs due to bite of a specific mosquito and it is a very viral infection. There are huge amount of patients raised in Asian continent who are suffering from dengue virus as per global statistics. In the whole world dengue has become very famous and the ratio of people affecting from dengue is very high.

You may be amazed that hundred million people become the victims of dengue and India is on top in that list. The common symptoms of dengue through which it is observed that one is suffering from dengue are nausea, headaches, joint pain, high fever, vomiting and pain behind eyes. Till current date, there are no vaccinations found out for dengue prevention so dengue is treated with allopathic medicines so far such as paracetamols or analgesics etc. As everyone is aware that dengue virus is fatal disease, so the person having the symptoms of dengue should be admitted to hospital as soon as possible for effective treatment.

Patients suffering from dengue should be diagnosed on time, otherwise any delay in the treatment may lose the life of the patient. The healthier foods are added in the diet plan of dengue patients as patient gets very weak after having heavy dose medicines and less food.

SWIPE (SLP) Rules of Correct Eating Activist

SWIPE Eight Rules of Diet Correction

These rules cover dietary discipline and mode of eating. SWIPE 8-Rules of Correct Eating are the basic pillar of disease prevention and reversal by working on homeostasis, circadian rhythms and microbiome health. The primary objective is to harmonize external personal food routine with the internal ongoing biological rhythms. Here are the 8- Rules of Correct Eating:

1. Selection of Predominantly whole foods plant based diet
2. Correct Food Timings
3. Food Rotation
4. Correct Food Combinations
5. How Much To Eat
6. Favourite Foods Should Be Selected
7. Food Temperature
8. Correct Water Intake

1. Selection of Natural Foods

Avoid all processed or un-natural foods, bran products, transfats rich foods, skim milk, white flour based foods and genetically modified foods. Focus on predominantly plant based whole natural foods. Special recommendations are for natural butter, organic poultry, whole grains, raw sugar, nuts, lentils, vegetables, and whole milk.

2. Correct Food Timings

This rule is based on Acupuncture philosophy of circulation of Chi and the rhythm of a human 24-hours body clock located in brain. The most important meals are breakfast and dinner, and we have to be very careful regarding their timings. Breakfast should be taken as early as possible after waking up and breakfast time bracket is 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. Snacky lunch should be between 9-4pm.
From 4 p.m. – 9 p.m. the body is again in the digestive mode so dinner should be eaten during this time. The Liver is rejuvenated or repaired every night between 1 a.m. – 3 a.m. and therefore do not eat any thing during this time.

3. Food Rotation

Avoid repetition of foods, because after a few days, an excess of one food starts accumulating toxic metabolites in our system. The healing value of food starts decreasing and due to ph shift.

4. Correct Food Combinations

Correct food combinations are essentially required for the control of insulin/leptin levels and tissue/blood ph, blood/lymph circulation and body temperature. Simple and complex carbohydrates cannot be mixed because of different digestion time. Therefore all fruits, desserts, juices or soft drinks should be taken either half an hour before the meal or three and half hours after the meals. Another important combination is of combining various food groups, i.e. acidic, alkaline and neutral foods. Try to combine fruits, and nuts from three chemical food groups to keep the blood ph close to neutral, which is essential for the normal function of the liver and biorhythms. Milk, or coffee is one hour before or three to three and half hours after major meals.

5. How Much to Eat

Decide your food portion on your own and listen to your body. If you correct your food timings, your hunger centre will be activated to control your food intake. Don’t indulge yourself into calorie counting, let higher bodies take decisions for your well-being.

6. Favourite Foods Should Be Selected

Listen to your body while selecting from natural foods for your meals, favorite foods reflect biochemical individuality because no two humans are alike.

7. Food Temperature

Temperature of foods and liquids taken is extremely important. You cannot combine warm meals and chilled drinks in the same meal. It puts extra load on your stomach to bring them close to the core temperature before pushing into small intestines

8. Correct Water Intake

Correct water intake is very essential. Before excretion water goes through a complex water metabolism and hence should be taken with care. Avoid cold or chilled water, it impairs cardiovascular circulation. Water intake should vary between 12—18 glasses depending on the weather. Water should be taken 1—15minutes before or one and half hours after a meal.

SWIPE Ramadan Food Plan

SWIPE Ramadan Food Plan

People suffer from few specific ailments especially after the month of Ramadan, which are stomach problems, general weakness, bloating, palpitation, insomnia and weight gain etc. I believe that the objective of a fast is to give you holistic health and give rest to those organs which are working 24 hours especially the digestive tract. Remember putting a single drop of water in mouth activates your whole digestive system.

Unfortunately in our society this month has turned into a food festival month, and we eat huge amount of junk foods which are mainly composed of white flour products baked or fried in cooking oil. So instead of being cleansed, liver is overloaded with transfats, and other toxins. These dead junk foods pollute inner chemical environment, apply a block to mind, body, soul connection, and you will be deprived of fasting spiritual benefits.

If you are looking for some enlightenment or real peace, and physical health in Ramadan do follow the given plan.

Before starting this plan you need to understand the SWIPE 8-Rules of Correct Eating and an SWIPE Adult Food Plan.

For best results follow correct timings, food combination and food rotation. People who are already following SLP can fix their plan according to the Ramadan rules, and select the aftar foods from the Ramadan plan. Your prescribed Pre-breakfast and breakfast will become pre-sehri and sehri. If you have less time then don’t take pre-sehri and start with four table spoons of sweet or salty yogurt or lasi. If you are a weight watcher, eat very little aftari and directly have dinner. Many people replace dinner with aftar foods and fall sick after Ramadan. People having multiple doses of medicines are suppose to consult their doctors before fasting. Try to sleep at least 2-3 hours at night to get maximum benefits out of this plan.

SWIPE Ramadan Eating Schedule

  1. SWIPE PRE SEHRI
  2. SWIPE SEHRI
  3. SWIPE AFTAR
  4. SWIPE DINNER
  5. SWIPE POST DINNER SNACK
  6. WATER INTAKE

1. SWIPE PRE SEHRI:

Within first 2-3 minutes of waking up, only if there is an interval of 45min. between waking up and azan. For pre- sehri you need to sleep at night otherwise take sehri directly and skip the pre-sehri. If you are following SLP take pre-breakfast as pre-sehri otherwise select from the SLP adult food plan. Choose four options and take one option a day and follow a rotational pattern. If you wake up one hour before, then 30 minutes after first pre sehri take yogurt or lasi and 5 to 10 minutes later sehri can be eaten. If you do not sleep then skip first pre sehri and start from water and yogurt.

Water intake is before sehri, therefore you can take 2-4 glasses between pre-sehri and sehri.

Tea can be taken 5-10 minutes before taking sehri meal.

2. SWIPE SEHRI:

Do not take bakar khani, pheoni, pratha in sehri. Take roti or whole wheat bread with egg, kabab, potato cutlets or bhujia, cheese, butter, honey, salan or yogurt on a four days rotational plan. Aloo ka pratha is better than the plain pratha, it can be taken only twice a week. If you do not feel like eating heavy meal, you can opt between wheat daliya, milk shake, yogurt shake, yogurt and shaker but do take a very fulfilling sehri.

Few sips of green Tea with little shaker after the sehri.

Patients with various ailments can take the medicines after food with little water.

3. SWIPE AFTAR:

Avoid white flour products and do not mix sweet and salty foods together.

If break your fast with sweet foods like dates, fruit chat, milk drinks, juices, lasi, shakes, cold coffee or lemonade then take your salty snacks or dinner after 30-60 minutes. Water or tea has to be taken before dinner. Take salty aftari with your dinner or break your fast with salty foods like pakorey, chana chat, dahi barey but no dates and drinks. Now fruits or desserts will come three and half hours after the dinner.

Do not skip dinner because eleven months you body is in a habit of taking dinner. If you want to enjoy aftar parties only two days a week skip dinner and take a heavy aftari (pakorey, chana chat, dahibarey, kababs, cutlets, chicken, sandwiches, noodles or pasta).

Frying should be in the mustard oil or desi ghee.

4. SWIPE DINNER:

Routine meal which means roti or fried rice with salan, yogurt and kachumar and then little green tea with shakar.

SWIPE Toddler Food Plan

SWIP Toddler Food Plan

Toddler is a child between 12 and 36 months of age. During this period of development the child acquires a sense of autonomy and independence through the mastery of various specialized tasks such as control of body functions, refinement of motor and language skills, and acquisition of socially acceptable behavior, especially toleration of delayed gratification and acceptance of separation from the mother or parents. A young mother with a toddler is misdirected by media, friends and grandparents. Everybody wanted to show their love and affection by sharing their experience of bringing up children. Grandparents pamper their grand children by offering them real food or junk food at odd timings.

Remember human child has a harmony in his/her body system since the birth. As growth and development is happening in the body, any toxic food introduced at this stage goes into the deeper layers of developing body organs and will result in their dysfunction at a later age. Science has proven that poor selection of food at this tender age leads to serious health disorders which manifest physically approximately at the age of 20 plus.

In my clinical practice I see that general status of health of an infant or a toddler is being declined. Malnourished babies have pale complexions, dark circles, are under weight and suffer from recurrent chest or stomach infections. Common causes are undernourishment during pregnancy, poor quality of mother’s milk, early introduction of formula milk and unhealthy foods given.  Mothers should breast feed their infants till the age of two years to give them a strong immune system and balanced mental health as well. If due to some medical reason mother is unable to nurse the baby, then give them goat milk or diluted cow’s milk. Start their day with milk feed, give them milk always about 30-60 minutes before solid food and never mix it with food. Weaning starts from 6th months onward, and always introduce one food at a time and carry on with that food for 3-5 days. Food options are yolk of half boiled organic egg, sweet yogurt, mix fruit puree, semolina or suji kheer, brown rice pudding or kheer, egg pudding, potato pudding or kheer, mash potato with raw butter or cream cheese till the age of one year. Give brown rice khichiri or whole grain wheat cereal with mince, vegetables, bone broth or yakhni at their major meal timings after the age of one year. At age 2 start your traditional meals like whole wheat chapatti with curries. Egg noodles, whole grain pasta, fish, are other healthy food choices but avoid artificial sauces and taste enhancers. For better bone and muscle growth give your toddler soups or yakhni.  Give them natural desserts for good brain development.  Mix nuts should be part of their snack time, make energy snacks with grains and nuts. Power of mix nut can be added
in soups, desserts or even khichiri. Dry fruits like dates, raisins, berries, apricot, prunes or figs should be given at their snack time. Forget about the quantity of food but do follow the basic food discipline according to SWIPE 8-rules of Correct Eating.

FOODS WHICH SHOULD BE AVOIDED

• Formula Milk.
• Processed Cereals.
• Packaged juices, fizzy drinks and fruit concentrates.
• Avoid burgers, pizza, chicken products, candies, and chocolates.
• Avoid prathas or fried stuff before the age of two years.

Try to avoid allopathic medicines as much as possible, because they will make their liver dysfunctional and disease is seen at an early age. Children suffering from ADHD, autism, allergies are having dysfunctional liver since young age. A dysfunctional liver makes a child cranky, restless and suffers from poor immunity.
DO NO’T USE MICROWAVE TO MAKE YOUR BABIES FEED.
TRAIN YOUR BABY TO SLEEP EARLY AT NIGHT.
DON’T MAKE YOUR CHILD A SCREEN ADDICT.
PARENTS SHOULD NEVER SPEAK LOUD OR FIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR CHILD

Apply SWIPE 8-rules of diet correction since the young age, so that dietary discipline goes into their body roots. This discipline will protect them from repeated infections and will get optimum growth. Do not give food at a wrong time, otherwise they will apply mental block against food and will result in loss of appetite, food issues should be resolved after having mutual food discussions.

SWIPE Pregnancy Food Plan

SWIPE Pregnancy Food Plan

A pregnant female has to be very careful about what she eats. In our culture, she is guided by the elders of the family regarding her food intake, which is partially correct. The objective of my food plan during pregnancy is to maintain a weight between 7-14 kg, the actual weight gain required by a pregnant female. Whoever gains weight more than this range keeps on struggling to shed this extra weight throughout her life. Remember extra weight gained during pregnancy is a permanent weight gain, and will keep on bouncing back after every crash diet.

SLP during pregnancy prevents and controls blood pressure, pregnancy diabetes, swelling or oedema, nausea, vomiting, acidity, freckles and mood swings. The target baby weight is about 7lbs, heavyweight babies are at multiple health risks. A pregnant female is supposed to eat five or six times a day which includes three meals and two or three snacks.

Take pre-breakfast within 2-3 minutes of waking up while sitting on the bed. The time of intake of pre-breakfast is extremely important for the control of morning sickness or nausea, vomiting, acidity, loss of appetite, constipation and abnormal food cravings. Foods like raisins, grapes, and lemonade taken in pbf controls vomiting, relaxes mind, controls mood swings and improves baby complexion as well. Besides above-mentioned foods you can select from the food list given below.

Breakfast should be rich in proteins, grains and fats and use unsalted butter or desi ghee for cooking. Do not take tea or coffee with the food, take only little green tea after your breakfast. Tea should come one hour later or 15 minutes before and milk or coffee three hours later. Snack will come after every three to four hours after the meals. Lunch has to be like routine food like roti+salan, sandwiches, noodles, pasta or stir fried foods depending on your preference. Do take green tea after the lunch. Dinner should be taken before 9p.m., avoid boiled rice, white pita, nan, raw salads and have healthy routine foods. Yakhni, or soup should be part of your meal. Intake of green tea after dinner will manage digestive disorders and bloating. Be punctual about milk intake at morning or evening snack time or about three hours after the dinner, this milk will induce sound sleep and healthy rejuvenation at night.

Remember during pregnancy your dietary pattern, quality of night sleep, stress-free mind, religious practices and mild exercise will lead to the birth of a holistically healthy child. Do not forget that your child will be part of the next generation and will be playing his role in society and in nation development too. A child born with multiple nutritional deficiencies suffers from poor physical health, restless mind, behavioral disorders and he will further add to the miseries of an ailing society.

Remember medicines, drugs, processed foods, low fat foods, excess of tea, coffee or cigarettes can affect the DNA of the developing fetus leading to a baby with mental and congenital physical disorders. Please do not follow nutrient deficient crash diets during pregnancy, you will suffer from chronic backache or early age arthritis. Select your food plan from below mentioned SWIPE Adult Plan. Be careful about food rotation and food timings.
