Nothing Is Better Than Yoga

So much information, so little knowledge
Sometimes I wonder, why on earth there is so much confusion despite the fact that we are living in the information age. In fact, we are over-informed, yet we do not know the basic things about life. If you go to the market, you will find a plethora of drugs available for different ailments. But, nobody would tell you, that these are not a treatment or cure of your diseases. These are just the quick fixes, which minimize the symptoms and have temporary benefits. You cannot achieve long-lasting effects or wholesome health with these drugs. In fact, some of these drugs can cause further complications once they are mixed into your bloodstream, and these complications can occur anytime in the future.

The confused and ignorant civilization
So why are we are living in the dark?  Don't you know that unless we change our lifestyle and go to the ancient healing practices such as yoga, vipassana, reiki, acupuncture and some other meditation forms, we cannot achieve wholesome health. Post the cultural and industrial transition of the 19th and 20th century, we have completely forgotten the basics of life in the mad rush of this industrial world. We follow West in every walk of life, whereas the West is looking at this for direction. 


Make yoga a part of your life
All we know is to get up early in the morning, take a shower, take a quick breakfast, put on our shoes, wear tight clothes and start the rat race of the day. It induces stomach cramps, headache, indigestion, hemorrhoids, stiff-joints, rashes on the skin, and eczema, etc.  It also leads to certain complications such as heart and respiratory diseases,  psychiatric diseases, thyroid, hypertension, fatigue, diabetes, and arthritis, etc.  These are the diseases that are linked purely to the lifestyle of an individual. Drugs can provide you temporary relief in these diseases, but it can never be a long-lasting remedy. If you want to get rid of these diseases forever, then you have to change your lifestyle and make yoga a part of your life. For more information on these healing practices, follow my blog www.nashaatquadri.blogspot.com


Skip yoga and become a victim of modern life
Yoga is not just an ancient practice; it is a way of life. It heals the body and the mind. It flushes out almost all the diseases from the body and helps you live a healthy and happy life. So, whenever you find time, you should practice a little yoga. Yoga is not just an exercise; it is a scientific approach for regulating our body's system by controlling our breathing system and activating the parts of the body, which are left ignored and inactive. For example, Kapal Bhati is a yoga exercise, which is meant for regulating our metabolism, respiratory system, and cardiovascular system. If we don't do this, several hundred complications may arise in our body, and over-the-counter drugs salts and drugs can never act as a remedy. They will always keep us in an eternal cycle of illnesses.


Leave the artificial lifestyle and go back to the natural one
So, if you want to get out of these illnesses and lifestyle diseases. Stop following the West, especially in terms of their allopathic system of medicine and pharmaceutical drugs being discovered every day. I'm not saying that we should shun all the treatment even in the severe cases. What I am talking about is to go for something we have been skipping to pursue our robotic lifestyles. Pay attention to the needs of your body and “activate” it the way the ancient men did it.


You will never have to visit a doctor
I have myself seen a magical effect of yoga on certain chronic illnesses. It is long-lasting and natural. Drugs only weaken our immune system. So, find at least one hour for regular yoga exercises to keep you healthy and fit. Stay away from drugs. Respect the ancient system and practices as nothing can beat them even now. Despite the ocean of information that we have around us, we are largely living ignorant lives. People waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on pharmaceutical drugs and several other forms of treatments, but they find themselves in an endless loop of misery. Stop smoking and drinking. Stop eating junk food, cold drinks, tea and coffee and fried and processed food. Eat vegetables, fruits and occasionally some fresh meat as well. I'm sure you will never feel the need to visit a doctor.

Why just Yoga??. Cant we do any physical exercise to stay healthy.

If a person is performing any physical and mental exercise as a part of his daily life he may stay fit. (i.e. any sports or activity like swimming, cycling, jogging). I would say it better to stay regular for exercise rather just promoting yoga.

I am not against Yoga. It can also be one of the exercises that can help to stay us fit.
