Eat healthy, think healthy, be cheerful
Food alone does not make a man healthy. Besides wholesome diet, it is food for the mind and clothes for the body that matters.
ALLOW ME to say at the outset that the more I read about what to eat and what not to eat; the more confused I am. The sole reason is: all the advice tendered on the internet is from the European angle or for men and women based on the Continental United States. WHAT DID SUSHRUT SAY Sushrut was a great physician of ancient India. His medical advice tendered to both kings and commoners was never ignored. On being asked what the secret of Good Health was, Sushrut said "HIT BHOOK MIT BHOOK RIT BHOOK. Ah! quite a puzzle. Well in simple English it means -Eat only stuff that is beneficial to your body, mind and soul. Eat as little as possible so that your body survives and no more lest it is stored in your posterior around hips. Remember, a good bank balance is good but a good bank balance in the form of calories is bad. Lastly, eat what has been earned by the sweat of your brow and not by indulging into a blood bath. The edible items are not blood diamonds. If you have food by starving other human beings, you may not enjoy a sound sleep and your health will be adversely affected.
The saint-physician, Sushrut left an individual to himself to choose items of food in consultation with the members of the family.
Think Healthy - this factor is as important as Eat Healthy. An individual should develop a posiyive approach to life. If we do not entertain negative thoughts, our health will not suffer. If an individual thinks well of fellow human beings, he will always be positive in his attitude. This will promote his or her health. If I entertain envious feelings towards my neighbour, I cannot expect him to come out and help me when help is needed. If I envy the progress of another human being, I shall never be able to travel on the path of progress as it would be blocked by envious thought and action. Be Cheerful - the last stage in this series of Wellness. If I am cheerful, men and women around me will be cheerful. I shall not only promote my health but also social health. I shall be paying back to the society what I have been receiving from it.
Cheerfulness is infectious. When you stand in front of a baby and Smile, the baby will smile too.On the contrary, if you frown and make faces, the baby would be confused and would start crying. Likewise in this world you laugh and the world laughs with you but if you cry, you cry alone. Moral of the story is: Be Cheerful. You can be cheerful under adverse conditions too. Great men of all ages all over the world have shown patience, forbearance and resilience to turn Defeat into Victory. In the process they retained cheerfulness so that thinking could be done and adversity be transformed into an opportunity.
Let us all take a pledge that we will Eat Healthy, Think Healthy and be Cheerful.
