If we adapt our diet and behavior to the seasons and understand the importance of staying active, staying healthy isn't difficult. This is the key to avoiding metabolic diseases ...read more

Modern and traditional medicine have different theoretical understandings of diseases caused by a sedentary lifestyle. If you ask anyone why and how diabetes occurs, there's no single answer.

In reality, some suffer from stress, some from physical inactivity, and some from poor diet. Even when everything is right, the reason behind diabetes is unknown.

Why not talk about overall health?

The principles of Ayush medicine or Unani medicine advocate holistic health. A person's temperament, or nature, is responsible for maintaining balance and health. When the balance is disturbed, illness occurs. There is only one way to prevent this: a balanced lifestyle.

One should understand the importance of diet, exercise, and daily routine according to age, season, and gender. The body should be hydrated.

Activity is essential, as lethargy can lead to many diseases. Traditional medicine also considers rest and mental health important. Adequate sleep is essential, as impaired sleep can lead to many incurable diseases. These are not new or unique. They are part of our daily routine.

Routine according to the weather

It's important to understand what to eat and what not to eat in a particular season. Winters make the body cold, and consuming cold foods will only make us sick. Blood-related diseases are more likely to occur during this season. Health services in the country are limited, making it difficult to provide treatment to everyone.

Therefore, it would be better if we avoid getting sick. People should become health conscious. Understand hormonal balance. Today, the problem of metabolic disorders is increasing rapidly.

For example, if we take hypothyroidism, it is caused due to the body becoming cold. If you remain physically active, you will be saved from many problems like hypothyroidism. For hormonal balance and excretion in the body, a specific temperature and keeping the body active is required.

When we're not in that state, hormonal balance is disrupted, increasing the risk of disease. Modern medicine's solution is to continue taking hormones as medications. However, Ayush practices encourage a healthy lifestyle, eliminating the need for hormonal supplements.

No medication works without lifestyle changes.
