બેઠક Bethak

ઓછી દાતણ જે કરે, નરણાં હરડે ખાય; દૂધ વાળુ જે કરે, તે ઘર વૈદ ન જાય.

ōchī dātaṇa jē karē, naraṇāṁ haraḍē khāya; dūdha vāḷu jē karē, tē ghara vaida na jāya.

Literally
One who brushes teeth gently, eats haritaki on an empty stomach, and drinks milk at dinner, a doctor does not go to his house.
What it means
Good health habits and a disciplined diet keep illness away without needing a physician.

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
