The world is full of interesting things. One such interesting thing is about the former Prime Minister of India late Morarji Desai. He lived a healthy life for almost a century and the secret of this healthy life was one of his habits. Today, on the occasion of his death anniversary, we are going to tell about this habit of his. Let us know about that special habit of Morar ji Desai, which people made fun of a lot.
Born in February 1896 in Bhadeli, Gujarat, to school teacher Ranchhodji Desai, who belonged to a Brahmin family, Morarji Desai worked as a Deputy Collector for about 11 years during the British rule, then after leaving the job, he jumped into the freedom movement. Morarji Desai became Prime Minister on 23 March 1977 at the age of 81. Meanwhile, when he went to America in 1978, he shared the secrets of his life with journalist Dan Rather in an almost one-hour interview given to CBSE Weekly News Magazine. When asked about the secret of his fitness, he told himself to be restrained regarding his eating habits. He also told about his habit of drinking his urine.
Morarji Desai had told that he drinks fresh fruit and vegetable juices. Also eat milk, curd, honey and dry fruits. Chews five cloves of garlic daily. Not only this, he also used to drink 5 to 8 ounces of his urine first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. In confirmation of this, senior journalist Rashid Kidwai writes in his book ‘Prime Minister of India’ that Yoga flag bearer Morarji Desai attributed his fitness and healthy body to consuming his own urine twice daily. He called it ‘life-giving water’.
These benefits were told to the journalist
In response to a question regarding urine consumption, Morarji Desai called it a part of natural treatment. He argued that in some parts of India, mothers would make their children drink their urine when they had stomach aches. Cow urine is also considered sacred in Hindu philosophy. He even told how American scientists are preparing urine extracts to treat heart diseases. He said, ‘Your people are drinking other people’s urine, but not their own, and it costs thousands of dollars. If you want to avoid diseases then your urine is more effective. Morarji Desai had said that if you start drinking your urine, your body gets purified within a few days. By the third day your urine will become as pure as water, i.e. without any colour, odor or taste. You will feel great as your system is significantly improved and cleansed.
