What if the world is looking upside down? What do you do in that case ?

Well, the answer is pretty simple.  You are probably upside down. So, you gotta get up and turn straight.

The answer looks o simple. Now, can we take something out of this statement and apply to our lives. These days, the most alarming issue for the humanity is the increasing health hazards due to the lifestyle that we have built around ourselves and for ourselves.

We are just realising that the most killer diseases these days are contrastingly different from the past. In the past, people died of tuberculosis, malaria, newmonia, etc. Now we have the vaccines that are so readily available that all such diseases are sorted out right at the time of birth of a baby.

The new era or the modern era or the era in which we are living has some thing so visible yet highly invisible to us. The three most deadly diseases are Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar and the Gastro related ones. Doctors don’t call these as diseases but medical conditions. And these medical conditions give rise to diseases that are killing most of the people. Some of these diseases arising out of such medical conditions are brain haemorrhage,heart attacks, insulin issues, thyroid issues etc.

And these diseases or so called medical conditions are borne out of the way we live. Our lifestyle. It’s been a human endeavour to live a life of comfort and luxury. To remove all the hardships and discomforts and live with ease and convenience. And there is absolutely no problem with that.  The diseases of the past could be cured due to medical Marvels made possible through the scientific pursuits.

But, in the process what has happened is that we have also made some wrong choices without realising the harsh repercussions that we have to face.  We made machines so that we can get things done fast and quick. And that’s a good thing. Imagine you can travel from one part of the world to another in just a few hours where it would have taken several months. You and I can connect and see each other and listen to each other’s voice with out loss of a second. And these are miracles for sure!

But, one thing that we completely forgot in the process is that we can build machines to get things done but we can build ourselves.   We are built by the creator who has created this wonderful body in the form of a human which can think and feel too. We are the most amazing creatures in earth due to which we are almost dominating the whole earth.

But, little sis we realise that human body and the mind are so fragile and vulnerable to almost anything and everything. Our human body functions according to the laws of nature and there is no way that we can change anything in the functions of human body, human mind and the human spirit.

Look at the human body, it’s composition. Our human body is the most complex machine that can not be understood in its entirety even in a lifetime. Not everything! Doctors can cure but they can’t create  a human organ, a human body in its full form. Doing a transplant or some kind of surgery is just like knowing the alphabets only! The rest remains to be explored.

We are still breathing oxygen and drinking water that the first humans would have done.  We are no different from them in terms of our human anatomy. So, all the functions of the body still run the same way that they did in the times of Jesus, Buddha, Mahavira or any other ancient or prehistoric super human!

And the demands of a human being to live a meaningful and the fulfilling life still depends on getting the basics right. Getting our health in good shape. Getting our heart in the right place. We still feel the desperate need to cool our body and recharge it after 15-16 hrs of active. You see the needs or the basic but most essential demands are the same.

The lifestyle diseases basically bring out defect in the functioning of the human body gradually. Like how we sleep and how much we sleep has changed a lot these days from the past. Now, we are working under the lights anywhere and anytime. Well, humans had to retire when the darkness spread and there was no electricity. Though we have invented a source of light to keep our work and living going we still feel the need to take good quality sleep in darkness to allow us to function smoothly for the rest of our day.

There are millions of components that humans carry in themselves and it’s just not possible to make them disconnect with each other. We have mind-body complex.  And we need to acknowledge that to live a beautiful life.  If you are not allowing yourself the good quality sleep, you are bound to grow restless, cranky and irritating.

With the scientific advancements, we have attempted to break the rules of the nature for which we are being punished with the rise of deadly  lifestyle diseases.  Even the doctors who are custodians of good health seem to be biting the dust with the erratic work hours influencing the lifestyle. And the farther who move from the laws of the nature, we will be beset with the more severe challenges.

Health and wellness has been reduced to being one of the industries than anything more.   This is the misery that we are living amidst abundance.   Everything from human connections, to work to the concept of happiness have been reduced to transactions. The more transactions you are able to make, the more you will achieve. 

Unfortunately, the answer to the problems of overcoming the lifestyle related fitness challenges is so simple that everyone seems to be missing out on it. Simply due to its simplicity.  We love complexity and for that we have the teams of researchers doing their research to arrive at the conclusions that are so ridiculously simple and straight forward.

And why I am saying so ?

Because, for the past 7 years, all I did was to get back to honouring the laws of the nature and the creator who made us all. And living and conducting my life according to those laws. And I have experienced nothing less than a miracle in these 7 years.

1. I have done nothing but simple move as much as possible. Result: lost my extra fats. And came under the respectable range on the BMI.
2. Eat at home as much as possible. Result: No food poisoning, no stomach related diseases. No sickness of any kind.
3. I have discarded all the processed foods nd resorted to earing local, fresh and least processed food items .
4. I have given primacy to my sleep every night for the past 7 years and I am seeing the beautiful glow on my face and skin.  My memory is in better shape and I feel happy and content.

So, all I ma saying is Get A Life!

It’s not complicated. It’s simple. You just need to remember the basics of how humans have evolved. Those health needs have not changed overtime and I don’t anything revolutionary happening for the next several thousand years!
