By Mukund Apte
Let us take some respite from politics and consider our personal health. Currently we are living under the Western Medical System 'ALLOPATHY'. As everyone is aware, it is a costly system. We i.e.' South Asians particularly are not rich enough to make use of the same. Moreover this system, during last 200 years of existence, has discovered over 30,000 diseases whereas it has no ‘Ramban Upaya’ even for one. This system is good mainly for operations and cutting some damaged body parts. Their system is comparatively safe one can say. Surely it is beyond our economic conditions though.
Since the allopathic medical(?) system is unreliable, costly as well as concerned to treat only the symptoms of illness and not the illness itself in a patient, the medicines used for treating one disease most of the times give rise to other one (as side effect of these medicines). it is time to go back to our AYURVED for maintaining our health. Ayurved is an ‘Upveda’ of Rgveda. Let us discard the allopathy. Even any surgery suggested by doctor must be done when all other non-intrusive treatments have failed. By any surgical intervention in body it does become 'incomplete'.
As per Ayurved, there are only 3 reasons of contracting any disease:
(1) Earth's revolutions and rotation around the Sun with tilted axis can cause changes in seasons and climate. If our body is not acclimatized for the change, one may fall sick. S/he does not have to do anything as treatment. Tolerate the change for a few days and the body will get (automatically, Naturally) acclimatized to the change;
(2) Due to pollution (especially by human activities against nature), atmosphere may have some pathogenic germs and bacteria. These may enter body and likely to damage the systems and subsystems thereby giving illness. Already nature has given adequate immunity to our body and the WBCs in the blood will take care of them by annihilating the anti-bodies to keep body safe. In case you consume only local products in appropriate seasons and are keeping contact with local soil, the immunity will improve on its own. Do not eat fruit which is not fresh or out of season (stored in a cold storage). All species are interdependent in the ecology. You have no right to kill mosquitoes just because they bite you. And some germs attached to their 'biting needle' may be malaria giving. The mosquitoes may need an odd CMM of blood from you for their living. They have no blood generation possible in their small body. Little blood loss to you should not make you anti-insects to kill them. The germs of malaria even if enter your body cannot give you malaria since you have adequate immunity in your body;
(3) Behaving against nature as well as morality and ethics can give you illness which can be treated only by changing your behaviour and treatment of others in the Nature. Never misbehave with anybody and/or anything.

Routine to Prevent Sickness:
Early to bed and early to rise:
• 9 PM to 6AM is the bed time to rest body and mind both. 10 PM to midnight is the most effective period.
• On getting up in the morning have plenty of water (preferably stored overnight in noble-metal containers).
• Meals should consist of wholesome food and half the stomach capacity along with sufficient water. Reheated food does not remain wholesome. Two meals a day are adequate for a person. Use your teeth to sufficient extent.
• Temperature of food should be around 37 degrees C and not below the environmental one for timely digestion.
• Fast/junk food as well as fried & baked items should be avoided as they are not whole-some.
• Meals must have (at least) 6 hours interval in between; in the meantime, some snacks may be had if necessary.
• Weekly one meal should be missed to refresh digestive system.
• No meals within 3 hours before bed-time; may take some milk/seasonal local fruit (not preserved in cold-storages) in case of need before sleep.
• Cold-drinks/Ice cream may be had after 1½ to 2 hours interval from meals.
• Meal timings should be maintained as a routine.
• Meals should be consumed in good surroundings as well as moods.
• After 60 years of age in-between (meals) snacks need not be taken.
• Half the intake of food, double quantity of water and equal exercise is the good rule for old age.
• Banish beverages, alcoholic drinks, eggs, non-veg items and smoking from routine consumption.
• Please note that AYURVED is not a medicinal Treatment System. It is our Philosophy or Science of Healthy Living. Follow it and enjoy health whole of our Lives.
