Holistic Health and Disease Prevention. HOW?

Most of us are aware that we, Human Beings are provided with an amazing body and an equally amazing mind by the Great Universal Intelligence.

Due to various reasons known and unknown to us, our body many times becomes victims to onslaughts like illnesses and diseases. Some are genetic; some are chronic, some contagious, some infectious, some mild and some serious.

In normal scenario, human beings, fall sick because of four major reasons.
They are-

1. We fall sick because of what we consume
2. We fall sick because of what we do not consume
3. We fall sick because of what is consuming us and
4. We fall sick because of lack of adequate physical activity.

India is passing through an economic boom resulting in great growth on all its fronts. It is a very encouraging and good sign.

When the economy improves the physical activity falls- our habits have changed, especially on our eating front.
Meat consumption, fat and sugar in the diet have more than doubled in India since 1980 according to researchers. As we have become busier, we have less time to cook healthy meals. So more people start eating at restaurants or buy frozen or instant foods. Processed and foods of western style have become ‘ the food’ of many, children and adults alike. Accordingly, we have hotels, restaurants, fast food joints etc., plenty of any style and choice.

The tight target oriented jobs at work, lack of physical activity, excessive consumption of alcohol, smoking, use of recreational drugs, over use of antibiotics, low nutritional status of foods, increase in obesity, all affect the immune system and are contributing to the increase in degenerative diseases in modern society.

All these have affected our mental health too. Our tolerance level start sliding down, we became more impatient, get irritated more often. The financial independence has inadvertently tended to erode the value system in young minds.

A kind of change start happening in all spheres of growth, some are good and some are very bad and serious.

In general, the general healths of human beings have started falling down.
There is a shift in urban Indians disease profile. In earlier times it was various diseases that of infection related. To day more are life style related.

Researchers and statistics say…

- 60% of the world’s cardiac patients will be Indians by 2010,
- Every fourth diabetic in the world is an Indian,
- 8,00,000 Indians are diagnosed with Cancer each year,
- Stroke kills 2000 every day.



Our Health Industry.

Hospitals, Nursing Homes and Doctors are increasing every year. High tech and corporate hospitals have sprung up like mushrooms.
But our health Industry is focusing more on treatment or diseases rather than prevention. That is a fact and a sad state of affairs.

The cost of treatment has risen as never before. A recent article published in ‘India Today’ reveals….

- The cost of almost all procedures rose steeply in corporate hospitals over the years. Consider Hernia. The cost of surgery went up from Rs.28, 000 to Rs. 34, 000 between 2004-06.
- Cost of normal childbirth went up at 30% growth rate, from Rs.18, 000 to Rs.50, 000, between 2003 and 2006 in corporate hospitals.
- In Heart diseases, cataract, hernia or childbirth, patients routinely pay double for the same procedures in corporate hospitals.
- Introduction of cutting-edge technology push up costs. The payout for cataract surgeries went up by 20% from Rs.35, 000 to 42,110, between 2004 and 2006.
- Lifestyle diseases are pocket pinchers. The inpatient cost in 2004 per head, per treatment was Rs, 29, 000 for lifestyle diseases and just Rs. 4, 000 for infections.
- The onset of coronary diseases or diabetes has come down from 56 years in 2002 to 48 years in 2006.

We have to face the realities. We should understand that we have no much say on external factors.

- The work in future may be more demanding or not
- We may get more exposed to various tempting foods outside. Some may be good some may not.
- Pollution in air or water may go up or not
- Many new diseases and infections may come up or not
- Etc., etc.

What is the way out then? “The Built in Healing System”

As mentioned earlier we have been provided with the best form, the Human body and Mind by the Intelligence. We have also been endowed with an amazing built in system- “A built in Healing Mechanism” which most of us are not aware of.

Most of the illnesses and diseases can be prevented, controlled and sometime healed. What we need to learn is “HOW” to activate and operate this God given mechanism. Once you come to know that, you can be healthy Holistically - Physically, mentally and spiritually, most time of our life.

We the ‘Welhealth team’ of Warrior Associates are campaigners of Wellness and Holistic Health. We are also its promoters and facilitators. We conduct programs, workshops and talks on this subject for awareness as well educate how one can take care of his or health, prevent and control very many of their illnesses and diseases.

We look forward to associate with you for this great cause.
Thank you and with Best wishes,

Holistically yours,
