Today we are living in interesting times where all the modern comforts and the quality of life is increasing but our physical and mental health is on the decline. Our body is the container from which our entire life is lived and expressed. All our dreams, goals, relationships and the meaning we derive from our life comes from the physical body.
When we take care of our body, it takes care of everything else. And when we fail it, the same spills over in everything we do. Reasonable prioritization for our health is the only way forward. Only we can take personal responsibility for our life and health.
Needs to be mentioned that Ayurveda helps to improve physical and mental health. It is focused on restoring the balance between mind, body, spirit and environment.
