The No.1 Enemy of Good Health

I never thought about it

Health; health is wealth, health is priceless, so no wonder why healthcare industry is 3rd largest industry in USA. We are being told and sold all kinds of healthcare products; skin care to hair care, protein to vitamin, gym to swim, carnism to veganism. End results; 1.2 Mn American die in a year due to Heart disease & Cancer and these two are the 45% cause of total deaths in USA.

Let me ask you few questions.

1. Have you heard someone never smoked, but died at young age?
2. Have you heard someone died in Gym?
3. Have you heard someone vegan/vegetarian, but died early?

Let me ask few more questions!

1. Have you seen a 75+ years smoking / Drinking?
2. Have you seen a 75+ years ordering big pork-chop at restaurants?
3. Have you seen a 75+ years eating muffin and ice-cream with grandkids?

I have heard and seen all of these. I come from a vegetarian family and marry to a non-vegetarian family. So, I can observe all kinds of people with my extended family. I see my 76 years old pure non-vegetarian, smoker, occasional-drinker uncle-in-law having fun with his friends and family every day, while my 60 years old vegetarian, non-smoker / non-drinker aunty is in in bed and barely able to walk.

This led me to ask the question, What Else? Is there anything overriding all the good health habits? Despite having all the bad health habits why my uncle-in-law is having fun with his life, while my aunty is suffering inspiite all the good health habits?

Quest for knowledge continued for many years up until I heard Dr. B.M.Hegde, Dr. Hegde is a cardiologist, professor of medicine, and author.

According to Dr. B. M. Hegde, all the modern-day illnesses started in the last 10,000 years when we started living in a community and trying to eat not just Non Vegetarian, but also trying to eat one another. Today our biggest enemy is hatred. According to him the No 1. cause of killer diseases is our mind, the silent killer. If this mind is poisonous and it hates someone, then it does not harm the person we hate, but it harms us.

Dr. Hegde Says, if we take a photo of your cells with a biophoton camera, we will see every cell is emitting photon light and they are happy and dancing. All the cells, approximately 120 trillion cells are there in the body and each cell loves one another. Not only that, but it also loves the cells of others. Carrie’s cell loves Julie’s cell.

So, if Carrie hates Julie, Carrie wants to harm Julie, then Carrie’s cell gets confused on why Carrie is doing this, it thinks Julie’s cells are no different than me and we all love each other so why Carrie wants to harm Julie? But, once hatred becomes a habit, cells also learn to hate as well. Finally, the day arrives when Carrie’s cells not only hate Julie’s cells, but also start to hate Carrie’s own cells. Which doctors call autoimmune disease.

Dr. Hegde says, If we start to love one another all these vegetarians, non-vegetarianism will pale into insignificance.

Ultimately what is needed for good health is Love, Universal Compassion.

As we all know our mind does wonder. So, if we train our mind to be grateful & thankful of what we have, If we train our mind to have gratitude for smallest help someone has done to us, we will not only be a good human being, we will be Healthy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you for your valuable time!
