Modern Lifestyle; Isolated from NATURE


Global health issues indicates our disconnection from NATURE.

Our modern lifestyle keeps us away from nature; this is the primary reason for most of the health problems of modern life. Most of the time, we are within four walls in an air-conditioned room; that is away from trees, sunlight, earth, fresh air, and spring or river water.







Want Health! Avoid ten unhealthy things

Many believed inherited traits (defective genes) determines the longevity and quality of life. However, the truth is the things you put into your body & mind determines your lifespan and state of health.

As per Ayurveda, many things contribute to your health complaints, they are: 

  2. Eating in a wrong way – How you eat is more important than what you eat. Even eating the wrong food in the right way is better than eating the right food wrongly.
  3. Sedentary lifestyle – Low or no physical activity due to modern machines. Long sitting hours (mostly in front of computer, TV, Mobile phones, tabs, laptops, etc.). Many studies confirm that an active lifestyle can help prevent 85% of these diseases.
  4. Stress and psychological problems (anxiety, anger, depression, etc.) – Life would be stressful specifically for present-day people. Researchers estimate that stress contributes to as many as 80 percents of all major illnesses. One study found people who live to 100 years have distinct ability to manage stress (i.e., take it easy).
  5. Not exposing to sunlight (vitamin D deficiency) - For the past 40 years, doctors advised us not to expose to direct sunlight. Because they consider sunlight's UV rays will damage skin and cause skin cancer. We all feel better when exposing to sunlight; why? Because your skin receives vitamin D from sunlight; additionally, it makes beta-endorphins (makes you feel better) and nitric oxide (help lower blood pressure).
  7. Improper sallow breathing – If you see a newborn baby, its belly expands fully while inhaling and shrinks while exhaling. But while growing, your breathing pattern disturbed due to too much stress in your life. Just place your hand on your belly and note your breath; most people feel expansion of belly while exhaling and shrink while inhaling. It is the wrong way of breathing due to too much stress.
  8. Inadequate Sleep - “Early to bed and early from bed” will keep us healthy. However, most of us are going late to bed and waking late from bed. It will disturb the nighttime natural healing process, which could lead to disease.
  9. Antibiotic & antiseptic abuse – Overuse of antibiotics compromise the gut microbiome and immune system. It causes antibiotic resistance and leads to superbug resistant to antibiotics. Antibacterial cleaning products may produce bacterial strains that are resistant to antibiotics.
  10. Electromagnetic Pollutions - are from cordless phones, wireless devices (such as a wireless router, hot spot, or other WI-FI), cell phones and cell phone towers. This radiation affects your DNA and jeopardizing the health of future generations. Research shows cell phone radiation exposure can cause a dramatic decline in sperm count.

Most natural health professionals believe that your body was designed to stay healthy. Your body will always work in the direction of health, not in the course of the disease. When it's diseased, and struggling to recover from an illness, it means your body is not receiving everything it needs to get the job done right.

As a result of industrial, agricultural practices, foods are not as nutrient-dense as they used to be. To receive the same amount of iron, you used to get from one apple in 1950, by 1998 you had to eat 26 apples. That is why we require supplements to fulfill our nutritional needs.
