KEEP HEALTHY, NATURALLY

Life on this planet started with single cell. It took billions years in the process of evolution, which is still going on.

All living things – be it a plant, an animal or a human being, basic unit of the body is cell. In other words these cells constitute the whole body. Most of the cells are microscopic in size and cannot be seen with naked eyes. Healthy cells form healthy body, whereas unhealthy cells lead to disease in the body.
Now the question is – why do the cells get unhealthy?

Well, there are several reasons for the same. To name a few:

1. Pollution in the environment.

2. Exposure to various types of toxins

3. Increased use of drugs, antibiotics, medicines, steroids etc. All these have some side effect on the body.

4. Increased use of various types of harmful chemicals including pesticides, insecticides, fertilizers etc. in agriculture. These chemicals reach our body with cereals, fruits, vegetables and other food products and have harmful effect on body.

5. Because of excessive cultivation, the fertility of the Earth is continuously decreasing and mineral level is depleting. Thus the crops are affected and body does not get sufficient minerals from the food.

6. For irrigation purpose water from highly polluted water bodies is being used at several places in this world. Crops from such fields are unknowingly making people unhealthy.

7. At times, unknowingly and out of ignorance contaminated animal foods are being consumed, which are harmful for body.

8. Increased use of food colors, preservatives, flavoring chemicals etc. in food products. These chemicals have negative effect on the body.

9. Increased use of synthetic and artificial food products.

10. Adulteration in food products with harmful products.

11. Lack of physical exercise.

12. Bad and poor eating habits. In addition people are mixing foods which should not be taken together.

13. Irregular sleeping habits including lack of sleep or excessive sleep. Those working in night shifts are getting affected by various ailments.

14. Hereditary reasons.

15. Excessive use of TV, Computer, Mobile phones etc. Radiations from these gadgets lead to various ailments.

16. In addition, there are several other reasons of getting unhealthy, which are continuously increasing with the developments in this modern world.

There is one more question – Do we have to live with diseases in the body in this modern world, since we cannot change above prevailing conditions?

The simple an honest answer to this question is ‘NO’. We do not need to live with such diseases.

Why?

Because GOD is the Indwelling Healer and HE has given us numerous products for the well being of the body. Nature has given to human beings wonderful ability to heal itself and it has made our body to last more than 100 years with perfect health. But how many persons today are living 100 years that too in perfect health. I think you may count them on fingers.

In addition to the natural healing ability of the body, nature has also made available thousands of plants/herbs having various characteristics to heal the body with the help of different micro nutrients present in these plants. These wonderful herbs and plants are available in different parts of this world. Only important thing is to know and use them wisely to get perfect health.

But normally due to lack of knowledge, disbelief in nature’s abilities, total dependency on modern medicines and chemical drugs for quick results and at times also due to non availability of genuine and reliable products at reasonable price, one does not use this elixir of nature.

In fact, India and China are two great civilizations which have been using plants/ herbs for cure of diseases. In western medicine, treatment is targeted specifically at the disease and diseased organ. On the contrary, in Indian and Chinese traditional medicine the target is the whole system, as it is considered to be out of balance. There is complete food science and herbal remedies for maintaining proper balance in this whole system of body. Hippocrates (431 B.C.), father of the modern medicine said, “Food is your best medicine and the best foods are the best medicines.” Now the time has come to explore the possibilities of getting Best Food products and also for increasing knowledge for your own well being. It is very much possible and extremely easy in this era of Information Technology. With the help of internet you may gather exhaustive information on all those herbal food products.

In addition, there are various other ways to keep healthy. Yoga, Pranayam i.e. rhythmic breathing exercise, meditation and nature cure methods are extensively being employed to keep the body free from disease.
