Health means the existence of harmony and synergy among physical,
mental, and spiritual aspects of life, and not simply an absence of
disease. Our body is a complete unit, a microcosm, but also a tiny
part of the universe surrounding it, the macrocosm. Its vitality,
functions, movements, and survival are dependent and affected by
the environment we live in. The topic of mind, body, and health has
been a subject of discussion and the motivation behind a number of
books written in the past few decades. The origin of this
philosophy can be traced to thousands of years in many ancient
cultures. Knowing how different components of a computer work or
how a combustion engine makes the car move forward are not
necessary to use a computer or drive a car. However, having basic
knowledge about them makes it easier to understand and use these
devices effectively. Similarly, knowing about the basic functioning
of one's body, both in light of ancient philosophies and in context
of modern science, can help better understand the concepts of
causes of ill health and the means for protection. In light of the
rising health care cost and the scourge of modern diseases-such as
anxiety, depression, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure,
etc.-it is imperative to be aware as much about body, health, mind,
and our lifestyles as possible. Knowledge about how ancient
cultures protected health from ravages of life and how some
cultures can still enjoy healthy, happy, and long lives without
spending enormous amounts on health care could be beneficial to all
of us. This book is an attempt to bridge the ancient philosophies
with the current concepts and offer some simple and practical
solutions to stay healthy.
