We entrust our health to fate. We believe that the health would automatically remain normal and in case there is any trouble we can always take drugs to cure any ailments. Most of us are apathetic to the matter of health. Generally, we are indifferent and inactive about maintaining good health. We hardly ever give any serious attention to our health preservation needs. In modern times, ignorance about health perhaps exceeds our ignorance on any other subject.
In reality, ailment or sickness are not absolutely inevitable. If our natural resistance power is strong enough, no disease would dare to attack us. If we do not disrupt the process of natural resistance, it would see us through hale and hearty till the end of our life. No germs of disease can affect a healthy man with powerful natural resistance power.
The secret of natural resistance power is very simple. With the progress in civilization, man increasingly kept on violating the laws of Nature and the rate of incidence of disease also rose commensurate with our moving away from nature. In ancient times, physician were aware of healing power of nature. They knew it well that it is the Nature ,and not physician, that really cures patients. The natural resistance power of body can cure most of our illnesses and no medical intervention is required for them.
Human is born with a strong resistance power. If this resistance power is preserved carefully, it can keep a person healthy till the end of his life. Scientists have proved the existence of this resistance power through several experiments.
The factors that WEAKEN our resistance power are:-
-Mental tension- It has been proved that the Excessive mental tension causes Depletion of vitamins from our body.
-Pollution- It plays a vital role in our weakening the natural resistance power.
-Indiscriminate use of medicines- Drugs depress the bone marrow. And the natural resistance power depends on WBC which is produced in bone marrow.
-Irregular life style: There is no proper fix time for getting up ,sleeping ,taking meals. These life style also the factor for decreasing our natural resistance power of the body.
-Addictions- It also destroys our essential vitamins from our body and leads to low resistance power of our body.
-Lack of exercise.
Way to strengthen our natural resistance power of the body
-Proper dietary and living habits: Diet occupies an important place during sickness as well as during healthy conditions. Diet and health are closely associated with each other. Our diet should be balanced.
The constitution of our body is alkaline. So it is desirable that our diet should be largely alkaline.
-Physical activity:For maintaining good health physical activity also occupies importance equal to that given to the diet. Physical activity activates the heat generating system in our body and the food consumed by us is burnt away fully only when adequate heat for the same is generated. Such proper metabolic process is vital for our health.
During the course of exercise, blood circulation, in those parts and organ of the body which are involved in it,increases by about thirty times than it normally is and this development makes more amount of oxygen and red blood cells available to those parts and organ.
Breathing becomes faster and deeper and consequently more oxygen is available to the body.
During the exercise there is rise in number of red blood cells and white blood cells in the blood, exercise raises the body temperature of our body and helps to burn the food faster.
Exercise causes profuse perspiration. Toxic element are eliminated from the body through perspiration and health of the skin is improved thereby.
Exercise also effects on our digestive system after a session of exercise, secretion of gastric juices increases in the stomach and there is a positive improvement in the rate and the capacity of natural contraction and expansion process of the stomach and the intestines, as the result of this ,the food is digested well and the residual waste is exerted easily from the body.
Regular exercise develops and strengthen muscles and improves their efficiency. As the result, they are able to lend a better and firm support to the joints.
