Srila Prabhupada, however, recommended cleanliness, regulation, and a pure consciousness. With its four regulative principles prohibiting flesh eating, intoxication, illicit sexual connections, and gambling, a Krishna consciousness lifestyle is quite conducive to staying fit. Additionally, eating food ofered to Lord Krishna, or God, and chanting His holy names with love and attention will further prevent all kinds of unwanted deficiencies.<\/p>\n<p>Prahladananda Swami<br \/>\nISKCON Minister for<br \/>\nHealth and Welfare<\/p>\n<p>Below please find embeded &#8220;Hope This Meets You in Good Health &#8211; The Newsletter of the ISKCON Health and Welfare Ministry<br \/>\nIssue No. 16 \/ 2010&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/full\/46563653?access_key=key-nom7gapzxme1mxuweaj\">Click here for full screen<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View Vol 16 Health and Welfare Magazine on Scribd\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/46563653\/Vol-16-Health-and-Welfare-Magazine\" style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block; text-decoration: underline;\">Vol 16 Health and Welfare Magazine<\/a> <object id=\"doc_635385204707883\" name=\"doc_635385204707883\" height=\"600\" width=\"100%\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"http:\/\/d1.scribdassets.com\/ScribdViewer.swf\" style=\"outline:none;\" ><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/d1.scribdassets.com\/ScribdViewer.swf\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"opaque\"><\/param><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#ffffff\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><param name=\"FlashVars\" value=\"document_id=46563653&#038;access_key=key-nom7gapzxme1mxuweaj&#038;page=1&#038;viewMode=list\"><embed id=\"doc_635385204707883\" name=\"doc_635385204707883\" src=\"http:\/\/d1.scribdassets.com\/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=46563653&#038;access_key=key-nom7gapzxme1mxuweaj&#038;page=1&#038;viewMode=list\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"600\" width=\"100%\" wmode=\"opaque\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"><\/embed><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SS-2011-01-09_22.58.26.jpg\"\/><strong>By Prahlada- nanda Swami<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> In 1967, Srila Prabhupada wrote to a disciple: &#8220;Be careful about your health frst.
