Balanced Diet - Myth is finally Broken

As per the theory of "Biological Transmutation" by the french scientist Louis Kervran the human body is capable of converting potassium to calcium based on the need basis. Same biological transmutation will happen for all other good chemicals. As per this concept, we don't want to worry much about whether the food we eat have all the minerals and vitamins required for the human body. We already know that the farmers in villages eats only rice daily and live a healthy life. It means they doesn't follow the rule book of so called "Balanced diet". 

In a nutshell, the human body is capable of generating the vitamins and minerals of it own. However, we need to assist the human body to produce it, by following the below basic rules : 

1) Eat well 
2) Sleep well 
3) Work well 
4) Excrete well 
5) Breath well 
6) Love everyone unconditionally 

It is always good to eat fruits, cereals, dry fruits,sprouts and vegetables that are good in minerals and vitamins. However, don't take Vitamin or Mineral pills thinking that it will be a good food supplement. A research conducted by reputed institution have proved that Garlic Capsule doesn't have any health benefit. Later Dr.BM Hegde proved that it is of good medicinal value when taken as part of food and it loses its property when made as pill. 

Our body will consider the minerals & vitamins present in the pill as a foreign material and will send to Liver for disposal. As per Dr.BM Hegde "There is ill followed by every pill and there is no pill for every ill".

Naturopathy - A Nature's Way of Healing

Hippocrates, a greak Physician before 2400 years  beautifully quoted "The Natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine". Naturopathy is based on this concept and it doesn't invlove drugs or surgery. It emphsis more on food habit and lifestyle changes to cure almost all the diseases in the world. In a nutshell, we need to assist our body's healing system to cure the disease itself instead of taking medicine.

The Placebo Effect : A Cure in the Mind

If you believe that the pill, which you are taking is curing the disease. It is time to rewire your thinking process. 

Placebo (Latin word meaning "I shall please" ) is a inactive substance like sugar, distilled water or saline solution that have proved to produce the same effect of active pill. Placebo effect have also a remarkable improvement incase of "Fake" surgery and "Fake" injection.

Almost 80% of the disease is cured by the believe that you have taken a medicine. Your medicine will work only if you believe that it will work. 
Once the pill is taken, the patient have a strong believe that it will cure his illness. Once the mind started accepting this command, the body starts releasing the good chemicals like endorphins, oxytocin, etc to relieve the pain and cure the illness. 

During my college days, I had a severe diarrhoea. I have requested my friend to give me a homoeopathic table to cure it. He gave me some homoeopathic tablet and as a miracle, my diarrhoea stopped within one hour. I am totally surprised and asked him the name of the Homoeopathic tablet. He smiling answered "Sorry, I don't have diarrhoea tablet when you asked.So, I gave headache tablet". 

Researchers in Finland studied two group of patients for Knee surgery - One group received proper surgery and the other received a placebo(Fake) surgery who are made to believe that they also had a proper surgery by giving anaesthesia. After one year, both the group showed same improvements.  

Dr.Nagore Rumi have told beautifully, even now in many villages doctors are using "Turmeric solution" as injection. With no surprise, the patients are getting cured with their belief system. I have also heard my grandmother telling that in her village hospital the doctor used to give the same white tablet for almost all the diseases and all the patients cured. 

Most of the diseases are cured with the belief that doctor is M.B.B.S, FRCS (London) and he will surely cure my illness. If the doctor takes time and listens to the patient carefully and if the patient confidence and belief with the doctor is high, then the patient recovers fastly. Those doctors are called as "Kai Rasi" or "Lucky Doctors" in our locality. To be frank all the doctors give the same injection and tablet for the common illness. Now you can understand how the same medicine given by two different doctors works differently. 

In a nutshell, if you believe that the normal drinking water will recover your health. It surely will do the magic. 

Mind your "Mind" - To Live Healthy

Osho beautifully quoted "Mind is invisible body and body is visible mind". Now science has accepted this concept that about 90% of the diseases in this world are Psychosomatic meaning "Diseases caused by mind". If a persons mind is affected with stress,anxiety, depression,worry etc then the body will show this as a disease. 

Even in Aucpunture, it has been accepted that too much of fear will affect the kidneys, anger will affect the liver, stress will be shown as ulcer etc and they have a big list. 

If a person is happy always filled with unconditional love to the humanity and the people around him, he will be always healthy both physically and Mentally. 
I have met such a person recently in my LG office, who told me that by God's grace he haven't visited to doctor even once for the past 8 years. I asked his secret formula, he told that he follows only one thing that he will be happy and smiling always. Dr.BM Hegde have beautifully told that "If you smile, our body releases 500 good chemicals and exercises 152 muscles in the face and neck". Now I have understood that the natural good chemicals released in the body have improved his immune system and made him healthy. 

Whenever you are happy the body releases good chemicals like Endorphins, Oxytocin,dopamine,serotonin etc which improves the overall health of the human body. However, when a person is stressed the body releases bad chemicals like cortisol and epinephrine which weakens the immune system. 

Everything you think in your mind affects the overall health of the body. Positive Thinking and affirmations increase the overall health of the body. 
If you repeatedly program your mind with good healthy affirmations and once your subconscious mind started believing, your body starts its healing automatically. 

Postive Affirmation for good Health :
"I am Healthy"
"I am Happy"
"I am Energetic"
"I am Vibrant"
"I am Calm"
"I am Relaxed"
"I am Peace"
"I am love"
"I am Light"
"I am Strong"
"I eat Healthily"
"I love my work"
"I love everyone including myself"
"I forgive everyone including myself"

A rich life with less stuff - The Minimalists

Ryan Nicodemus had everything including a success career, six figure income, big home, etc. Everyone told him that he is successful. However he have void. So he bought cars, clothes, furniture, gadgets, meals, drinks, vacation, etc and spending money to find the happiness. He continues to fill the void with buying more things. Outside everything seems to be perfect, but inside he is not happy. 

Soon, he realised that he was working hard to make money for the things to buy that he you don't use. His life lacked meaning, purpose and passion. 

He had asked his friend Joshua Fields Millburn about the secret of his happiness, who introduced the concept called "The Minimalism".Minimalism is the concept of living a meaningful life and have passion with lesser stuff.  

Ryan soon realised that 80% of the things are unused in his home. So, he disposed those items which are unused. Once he started living a minimalists life, he started enjoying his life which is filled with meaning and purpose. 

Now Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus tours all over the world and preaches about how to live a meaningful life with less stuff. In a nutshell, they promotes de-cluttering the things in our home which is not useful and promotes to buy only things that are CRITICAL. 

Imagine a life with less stress, anxiety, stuff,etc and more meaningful life,relationship,time, etc it is the concept of Minimalisms.Watch the below TED video about Minimalists. 

I try to practise the minimalists concept as much as possible. Whenever I go for shopping, I ask a question "Is it really required ?". Most of the time, the answer will be "No" and I return home without buying the stuff which I don't use. 

If you have food in your plate, roof on your top, colorful dress on your body then you are richer than what you actually think. As per a statistical report, "If you have 1000 rupees in pocket and 1 lakh rupees in your bank account, you are in the top 50 hundred population of the world".

Stay blessed and use minimal stuff and shower unlimited love, compassion, kindness to this beautiful world.
