Hello, thanks for answer.

“Do you suffer from constipation?”

No, i suffered 8-9 y before. Actually sometimes rather slight diarrhea. Especially after a bad practice, when i feel strain in sacrum.

Today i ve exercised hindu squats, pushups, other bodybuilding and feel strain in sacrum…suppose that i do it incorrect or thanks to shortcut postural muscles and incorrect position of pelvis area i strength incorrect muscles (who knows)

QUESTION:
I often underestimate the importance of food . Is it really important? How much is it per cent of success?

As with any exercise you must use caution. It is always safe to under-do it rather than overdo. If you feel any pain stop it.
There are tons on videos and articles on different kinds of bodyweight exercises online. Research a bit. Do something that suits your body.
Take baby steps in the beginning, do not risk injury.

Based on your brief diet outline (7 rolls and 2 slices of bread without a shred of deep green leafy vegetables) I would say “food” is likely 90% of your issue. Perhaps try actually eating some rather than that stuff you list.

If you are consuming U.S. wheat you are consuming enough to sideline a large rhino. You would see radical changes if you committed to six weeks of not eating anything from a box, can, or package, avoided dairy, refined sugar, and wheat.

No one can tell you (including me) what food means in your living. However, generally speaking when one puts sugar water into a gasoline tank the car does not run at all. Most things can be alleviated with appropriate nutritional changes. Of course most people resist appropriate nutritional changes:-)

In Purna Yoga™ nutrition /lifestyle is one of four branches of the yoga but it is one of the most important branches. How could one expect a decent asana practice without proper nutrition? How could one expect proper vital organ function, circulation, respiration, digestion, immuno-function, hormone regulation???

Frequent masturbation is a sexual disorder and an addiction. Plus, you’re flushing your vitality down the toilet. I don’t know if this is a symptom or your main problem, but it’s not good, and imho, you should get some help for this.

In some books is said that sexual energy supplies 30% of daily men"s energy. It s also possible that it s my main problem or one of my main problems. I must say that somedays i masturbated literally 2 hours (clear time), extreme 3. …There were times, when i did that 2times every day…then times when i said myself that it s not health for my body and try to control myself doing it every second or third day (but average 1,5-2 hours that day).

I describe it in detail cause i must find how much does it affect me ("%").

Of course that theoretically i knew that s not good, even intuitivelly/energetically (i felt like mope/apathetic/torpid(dont know exact english word), tired, but it was good for release stress and insomnia. I also felt like more unsecured among people, more hair loss and disconnected (weak pelvis floor).

It s also sad to say, cause i love my girfriend, but in past (sometimes) i connected the start of dating with my problems…before that i controlled myself more (it was times of “walking, 5 Tibetians, and reading books of hara and tantra” (mentioned in first or second post)).

But it can be also only my guessworks, cause some of my bad times are correlated with university duties/examines.

Why i m writing this? it s only effort/quest to find what really works/worked, what is/was ilusion, what s bad, what was good but i didn t knew…effort to correlate my “practice” with inner and outer results/effects, cause in my life i ve done much effort and then disappointment…losing motivation to xx. new start.
