Day in a healthy professional's life

Daily routine of a healthy person as described by Swami Ramdev in his book "Yoga Sadhana and Yoga Chikitsa Rahsaya" revolves around:

1. Aahaar- Food
2. Nindra- Sleep
3. Brahmacharya - Celibacy 
4. Vyayam- Physical exercise
5. Snan- Bath
6. And Dhyana- Meditation

To live a healthy life above 6 are utmost important. First 5 are important for physical health and form the basis of a healthy mind and soul. 3rd celibacy is about away from Kama (to be away from bad temptation, wrong doings etc.). And 6th Dhyana is about daily meditation for some time, in order to get a peaceful soul and mind.

Few questions that arise naturally in context of busy professional's life in era of fast food are: 

1.     Can this be followed by people easily without changing their lifestyle too much?

2.     Is this only for retired people?

After carefully examining life of professionals, I observed that few small guidelines setup by individual for him/her can make an individual live a healthy life and follow above in peak of his/ her career as well.

1.     One can pay attention to what one is eating, can try to eat healthy food, if eating something that is not so good for health, can eat in less quantity. Every fast food has something that is low calorie. Go for replacement food (replace non healthy food items with healthy food items in food) instead of remaining hungry.

2.     Sleep well. Use common sense, if one can't sleep fully in the night due to office hours, he/she can use day time to sleep in installments.

3.     Totally controllable by an individual, change habits to more toward dharma, good will and self-less society service. Or just say no to what your inner self doesn't allow.

4.     Do some physical exercise; every one doesn't have to join a gym, yoga school or some other sports club. But yes, a common person can choose some physical exercises as per his schedule and convenience.

5.     Snan is about hygiene, personal and surrounding's hygiene are important. One can have this easily.

6.     Dhyana is about meditation for some time in the day and anyone can follow this even if someone is too busy. Dhyana ensures that mind is peaceful and person becomes more effective in whatever he/she does and saves time ultimately.
