Are We Healthy?

What is the first thing that comes to our mind when we talk about health? A masculine physique or merely being slim? Most of us think so but mere absence of disease cannot guarantee good health, something bad might be cooking up inside you without your knowledge.

Experts say that in year 2030, there will be 190 million diabetic cases in the world and half of which will be reported in China and India (source Newsweek Magazine). World health organization estimates that by 2010, 60% of cardiac patients in the world will be Indian. By 2020, scientists expect 40 million people will suffer from osteoarthritis and almost 24% of total Indian population will be obese (source Time Magazine). Where did all these pop out from…?

A disease or disorder doesn’t start just like that; the damage process is continuous and would have started years ago due to lack of nutrition, exercise, pollution, smoking, alcohol, drugs, inadequate sleep, stress, etc. and at a saturation point when your body can’t defend anymore it comes out in a form of a “lifestyle disease.”

Yes, you guessed it right, lifestyle. Studies say that a cigarette contains 18 mg of tar in it, just imagine the condition of lungs of a chronic smoker and the pain a body takes to flush out these harmful toxins (partially if not fully). Human beings have made this earth so complicated and technologically advanced that it has to sacrifice health of millions to payback Mother Nature.

Is there something that we can do? Yes! Just follow the four pillars of optimal health.
1. Exercise 1 hour per day, either morning or evening.
2. Adequate rest – minimum 6 hours of sound sleep.
3. Health and organic food – avoid junk and processed food.
4. Positive mental attitude.

Now, when it comes to good organic food, it is really hard to obtain unless you have a farm of your own and do a self-farming for your procurement, as all these fruits and vegetables available in market come with a big load of chemicals used during various stages of farming to make them look attractive. So, instead of taking these, one can opt for nutritional supplements and the pioneer in this segment is undoubtedly Nutrilite with rich 75 years experience, 6400 plus acres of organic farming, 151 patents and the first company in the world to introduce phytonutrients in their multivitamin and multimineral brands. This would fill the gap of good organic food, as you get phytonutrients extracted from various natural sources at their peak nutrition level and gives excellent result. These are not medicines as people perceive it to be usually but only pure good food and obviously would not have any side effects.

Last but not the least, wake up now and do something to be healthy before it is too late and you are put to sleep forever. A damage happened to your body system will be irreversible but the repair could be done as early as possible to save yourself and your loved ones from deadly lifestyle diseases like cancer, arthritis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s…

Wish you healthy life ahead…!!!
