Always remember, the road to a healthy and long life is the balance between the sun and the moon energies in the body. Here, sun means energy and the moon means wisdom, knowledge and water. Certain body parts are such that may lead to a blast of energy if heat is generated in them, and the way to keep this energy in check and balance is where wisdom and knowledge come into play. If energy is not balanced or regulated, then it may lead to a host of issues, even violence and aggression.
In my own experience, the health of the body and mind depends on both these principles (Sun and Moon). Hatha yoga also originated from this principle. 'Ha' means Sun and 'Th' means Moon. Energy is generated by creating tension and heat in the cells of the body, because at that time heat is generated in those cells, and when those cells are relaxed and brought to their original nature, the moon is used in that. Which creates energy inside the body and another element (knowledge) which gives a meaningful direction to that energy, cools it down and stores that energy. Just like storing energy in a battery and using it on time.
Similarly, energy has to be created in this body. Secondly, it has to be stored by pacifying it. That is why the brain located in the north direction of the body is completely affected by water. Its main function is to cool whatever energy comes and store it in the brain. As soon as that energy is relaxed by knowledge, it becomes calm inside and gets stored.
Here the Sun is related to the left brain, which completely controls the navel. This navel centre works for the destruction of all diseases because it is fire that can consume anything. And the Moon is related to the right brain which is very conceptual and knowledgeable. Which pacifies heat and energy by carefully controlling it in a cognitive form.
For example, by changing the quality of food, it is natural for sexual thoughts to come, but that energy is also pacified by controlling it cognitively. That is why in the spiritual path the energy of the body and mind is compressed through knowledge.
For any person who has a lot of weakness in the navel region, his mental balance is also not proper, that is because, despite 85 per cent water in the blood, he lacks enough heat and energy. His brain doesn't feel that energy. That is why most of the people related to the degeneration of the navel get cold hands and feet. Although there is excessive sweating in one's body, it is because 85 per cent of the water in the blood gets more heat than enough.
Another thing is that the person whose innate nature is very cognitive and ideological also has a decrease in the navel energy, even a huge decrease in sexual ability is also seen. That is why such people are advised to practise hatha yoga under the protection of a guru. In this practice, special attention is focused on those chakras called Manipura and Mooladhara, which are the centre of the sun, and are controlled by the left brain.
To get a happy disease-free life, there must be a better combination of Sun and Moon. If the source of energy in the body, as well as knowledge, is controlled, then there can be no misery of any kind.
In my experience, knowledge needs power and power needs knowledge. If the navel is powerful, it energises the brain, and if there is knowledge, the brain gets to use that energy effectively and efficiently.
