SAGITTARIUS, CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS, PISCES
Don't nibble too often
SAGITTARIANS have well-developed bodies though not necessarily well proportioned. You have a tendency to eat on an impulse. And since you love to eat, you generally nibble at all hours, with the result that when it comes to your proper mealtime you lose your appetiteYours is a fiery sign, which means you use up much energy; consequently you require a nutritious diet. Since Sagittarius rules the thigh, hips and buttocks, you have a tendency to put on weight on these areas. You have a bright and vivacious personality that makes you seem extremely healthy, but in reality you may have a delicate health. Your sedentary habits are the cause of most of your worries. It is very likely that the nature of your work requires more of mental activity than physical labour, but that should not stop you from taking physical exercise. Without straining yourself, you must make it a habit to exercise your limbs. Since the ruler of your sign is Jupiter, which controls the liver, you must take well care of your diet. You have a tendency to suffer from sciatica, rheumatic pain, gout, arthritis in the hips, jaundice, etc.It has been noticed that you are averse to consulting a doctor. Most of you dose yourself with advertised medicines thereby upsetting your system. Coming to your diet, it has been observed that you like exotic food. If you read about a Mughal prince’s favourite dish, you feel inclined to try out the recipe. Sometime you visit famous eating places just for their ambience, eating at roadside stall appeals to you as well.If someone tells you that the extract of a certain fruit or vegetables is good for health you’ll make it a point to have it morning and evening, and if possible, even carry along to work to have it for lunch. You must discipline yourself as far as food is concerned. Eat everything but in moderate quantity. You are known for going on crash diets quite frequently, if only to prove your will power. But the weight of your body tells a different story.
Female Sagittarians should watch their weight from the age of 18, else they have proclivity to grow heavy between the ages of 20-28. Whereas those Sagittarians who manage to keep their waistline under control can boast of a shapely figure, those who become indifferent towards their health will soon find their body, expanding waist down. The best way to stay healthy is to keep your body in shape. Keep revising your diet. Learn to eat different things and cultivate to have a habit of eating less. It may leave you hungry and dissatisfied, but soon your body will get accustomed to it. Set regular meal timings and stick to them. Quite a few of you are fond of late nights and it is not unlikely for you to have two dinners. Plan your meals in such a manner that you have a heavy lunch, a light dinner – maybe a soup and salad, and if non-vegetarian, some lean meat or fish. You can treat yourself to a dessert of fresh fruits but avoid cream.Try a limber-up in the morning followed by a few asanas. Going for long walks may not be of much help. Neither will jogging suffice. You need to exercise the upper part of your body as well. Your arms and shoulders need extra attention.Being endowed with abundant energy you generally lead a very creative life. You work with great passion in your chosen field of activity and hence are generally successful. If you devote some time to health care, you’ll remain in peak form.
CAPRICORN
Have a Balanced Diet
YOU are a lusty eater, with an earthy appetite and a discriminating taste. Capricorn being an earthy sign makes you prudent and practical minded. You like to take care of your health and take proper nourishment. In general, most of you have feeble health until the age of 18, or in some cases up to the age of 28, and thereafter there is marked improvement. Quite a few of you are likely to suffer from indigestion, or other abdominal complaint. Capricorn governs knees and bones. Dislocation or injury to the patella bone is a common occurrence in the lives of Capricornians. Pain in the wrist, or small of the back, could also be a source of inconvenience. Since the ruler of this sign is Saturn it can cause troubles like rheumatism, cold and nervous tension. You have a tendency to be gloomy and depressed which sends you on a food binge. Constant worries and a melancholic nature could upset your digestive system. Be optimistic and lead a carefree life to remain healthy and fit. As far as food is concerned, you take your meals at proper time. You like eating hot and spicy food. Those of you who are used to having bed-tea are not content with just two cups. Not only that, you like to munch quite a few biscuits while sipping endless cups of tea. That’s for starters. Fond of reading newspaper, you’ll not rise from your bed until you’ve read each column. After that you rush for bath and a hurried breakfast. The lack of time does not stop you from having a proper breakfast consisting of eggs, bread, butter and jam.
Upon reaching your place of work, you are likely to order something to eat along with your coffee. You are quite hardworking. Though you do not do much physical labour, the nature of your work could leave you exhausted by lunchtime. And that calls for a rich and heavy meal. Over lunch, even while you are enjoying the delicacies, you tend to mourn and groan that the time is not enough. So you return to work quite dissatisfied. May be that is an excuse for having snacks with tea in the evening. After work you have all the time and leisure to plan your dinner. You make sure you have a really elaborate dinner. And since, you are known as a sweet tooth, it is understood that you will have a generous helping of dessert. Now that’s how you spend a hectic day with a busy eating schedule. With such a life style how can you ever imagine to remain slim? It is but natural for you to develop a paunch and double chin.
Meals and Pounces
You should organize your eating habits. Have a balanced diet and try to adhere to it. Granted that the aroma of fried vegetables is enough to whet your appetite, you should learn to exercise strict control. You are a sensuous eater and anything, which looks attractive, or smells delicious, will excite your hunger. If not used to taking physical exercise you’ll have problems doing even your routine work after the age of 50. Your legs may be painful for no reason. You could get easily excited. A right candidate for high blood pressure and nervous disorder, you tend to imagine ills. Your emotional insecurity can keep your health rundown. Those of you tied to deskwork are prone to stoop; and if you are not correct in your posture you could develop serious trouble later. A little exercise in the morning will help. Jogging or brisk walking will keep you in shape. Don’t take to any strenuous exercise for your body will not react favourably to vigorous training. Swimming and yoga will suit you best. Regular intake of calcium and vitamin B-12 is advisable, but after consulting your physician. To conclude, it has been generally observed that Capricornians live a long life, free from serious health problems. Only those having Capricorn afflicted in their birth-chart may suffer from gout or pulmonary complaint. Try to keep your weight under control. Avoid too much of hot and spicy food.
AQUARIUS
Nibble your way to Health
IF You are a true Aquarian, you should be tall and slander. Of course, the presence of any planet in your sign at the time of your birth can make quite a difference to your physical appearance. You are not over fond of eating. You have less interest in food than any other sign in zodiac. You are a light eater, someone who nibbles and lives off snacks. Since you are frugal eater, you need frequent replenishment. But see that you nibbled on less calorie-filled foods. If fond of fruits you may go in for apple, peaches, bananas and pineapples, whenever you feel the urge to eat. Stay off fried stuffs. Generally, it is very difficult for an Aquarian to put on weight, but once they do, they can forget about losing it. So better be on guard. Aquarius governs legs, calf-muscles, and blood circulation. You are susceptible to infectious diseases. Tonsillitis, toothache, ear-trouble can also be source of inconvenience. Being of a nervous disposition, tension occurs easily to you. Surprisingly it has been noticed that you are very emotional and sensitive. It is surprising because your ruler Saturn has a tendency to make its subject cold, ruthless and detached. But it’s not the case with you. You have to watch your blood pressure. Have a blood count done frequently. You can be rigid and unreasonable when it comes to health care. It appears you do not care much about your health. Granted that yours is an intellectual sign and you live on principles, it is better you take necessary precautions to maintain good health. In sickness you are a very difficult person. When unwell someone must really coax you into taking medicine. The problem is that you always feel that nothing is seriously wrong with you. Naturally being endowed with a lot of recuperative power, you come out of your troubles quite fast. So you don’t conform to the general pattern of taking proper medicine and rest. But if you’re struck with troubles like skin disease, or frequent high fever, you should consult your physician and follow the line of treatment. You generally rise early in the morning. Fond of tea you’ll take couple of cups, if not pots of tea, to wake you up. Not particular about breakfast, you do mind a glass of juice or some fresh fruits for breakfast. Throughout the whole day you won’t eat anything substantial. Endless rounds of tea and coffee will keep you going. You may munch a biscuit or a toast in between.
Many Courses
You dislike formal dinners. If anyone thinks that a well spread out table will convert you into a gourmet, it is a mistake. You do like variety but shrink away at the sight of so many dishes laid out on the table. The best way to make you eat your meals properly is to serve you food in courses. But make sure that the quantity is small, for an Aquarian dislikes the soup filled to the brim. But you must have enough time to savour each and every delicacy presented to you. It is quite common that Aquarians avoid going to evening shows or the theatre, for it interferes with their suppertime. And if it were obligatory for them to attend some such function they would prefer to come home and have their meals after the function rather than hurrying through it earlier. You are quite disciplined in your eating habits. You will never fall ill due to dietary indiscretion. Yes, some of you could suffer from deficiencies due to neglect. So make it a point to eat properly. Of course you can’t stop yourself from nibbling, but you can reduce it by having a proper lunch. It is quite possible that most of you shirk physical discipline. Some of you would remark that you are too intelligent to worry about physical culture. But it may not be wise on your part to neglect physical activities. You must make a habit to do some exercise everyday. Your routine work, or walking a mile or two, may not be enough to keep you in shape. You must do more vigorous exercise to remain healthy and fit. Else your sedentary lifestyle could throw your system out of gear, and by the time you reach fifty you could be in deep trouble. You must really sweat it out the first thing in the morning. Remember to wear something on your person for exposure could also cause trouble.
