in our last article I asked you to question yourself am I really healthy??. And to differentiate between what u perceive about yourself and what is the truth about yourself a small questionare was provided to you. These questions were about the 8 barometers of your health as defined according to Ayurveda
The problem lies here the health guide. This authorative figure varies from person to person. For some of you it might be a friend, for some it might be article, for some it might be internet and many consider themselves as health experts. Some more smart people like you prefer to have such a guide in form of a doctor. Even in such case the problem amplifies, an allopathic doctor will suggest something which might be very different from
a homeopath, similarly a naturopath will advise which might be inappropriate for an allopath. For example : if u are very much troubled by back pain and decides to get advice from the authorities u will surprisingly get different advises for same aliment. Eg; a allopath will advise a operation, a natrupath will advise you a massage, some will say there is imabalance in the bioenegries . I can completely understand your plight. U might have gone through similar experience also. Its really tough to assess what is actually beneficial and what is not. Too much of information available has made everyone informative but very few have gained knowledge from it. And as rightly said half knowledge is always dangerous. So it is very very important (n also challenging) to find a genuine health guide for you. your guiding person should have a holistic approach towards your health and must have deep understanding. If in above test you score more than 5 then I would suggest certain changes in your lifestyle to restore your health. The changes need to be implemented on all three aspects of your life the physical, mental and spiritual aspects. The important physical aspects which need to be considered are food, sleep and lifestyle You might have came across varied kind of opinions and advices regarding food. Again mostly they might be confusing for you. So what is needed is a definite and time tested and proven system of healthcare. Ayurveda has simplified the aspects of food.
dehamaashritah chturvidham
( I stay in all living beings as vaishvanaragni or Digestive fire and digest all four types of food i.e., eatables, chewable, drinkables and likable).
The
Vedas
proclaim
that,
Annam
brahmeti
vyanjanat
Meaning, food is Brahman or the Lord of creation. It is from food that living beings are born. It is with the help of food that living beings are nurtured and stay alive.
If you still are confused try ignorance !! and do exactly opposite of what is written above for 7 days and see the detoriation of your health. But if you are really concerned about your health follow these for 7 days and just experience the positive change.
These are few of the important suggestions regarding food. U will start feeling the difference within few days as soon as you start practising what is preached in Ayurveda. in simple words Ayurveda suggests that you are part of nature and if you need to back to your own best start following nature.
be healthy,
