It is good to get up early and enjoy the pleasures of dawn. Our body will be engaged in the cleansing action in our sleep and it continues even after we wake up. The energy of the nerves will be centered around the large intestines as soon as we wake up, since all the waste material in our body are stored up there. So our mind will not rest until it sends out waste material that reached there through the night. This waste material and fecal matter is sent from small intestines and stomach to rectum. The nerves holding the fecal matter will be ready to release it once we wake up. If we do not engage ourselves mentally and physically with other things, our energy will help to have free excretion. How many of us really want to excrete all the waster matter accumulated in the night immediately after we wake up?
Instead, if we drink bed coffee before clearing the bowels, the energy that has to be used for excretion will be diverted to digest the coffee, keeping aside its duty of sending out fecal matter. The excretory action will go on till you eat some breakfast. This action of sending out waste matter slackens as the sun’s rays become warmer and we start feeling hungry. To satisfy hunger we will start eating. If we wake up at 8 a.m. we have no time left for excretory action. We feel it’s too late and so we hurry up our activities to get ready for our Work! We brush our teeth and have our breakfast immediately after that. This is what most of us do after we wake up instead of trying to excrete all the waste in our body. All the waster matter formed from the food we eat in a day should be excreted by next day morning. Remaining waster matter which is not excreted will accumulate for days and shows up in form of diseases.
If we get up at 4 or 5 a.m. our stomach will be free for 2, 3 hours. With free motion immediately after getting up, we feel relaxed! Is it not true?After that some physical exercises, yogasanas or pranayama will help in sending out remaining waste material churned out in the night. The same way if we drink more than a liter of water, the waste that reached the blood, and the waste material that has been formed in the night joins the water and comes out in the form of sweat, urine and motion. Again we should drink one more liter of water to enable the body to clear itself of its waste material. This way if we just supply water and nothing else and do some exercise, then the body will fulfill its duty (excretory action) completely. Then it is a happy morning for us and we can perform our daily actions very effectively.
Is this not true?
