Do You 'Really' Need Dairy?
Most of us have grown up consuming dairy in some form or the other believing that dairy is needed for calcium, protein, or other nutrients. However, dairy is hard on digestion and causes inflammation and mucus build-up, especially in today's times when it is replete of antibiotics and hormones. In our Health Journey sections, you can read how many found relief from skin issues, hormonal problems, asthma, etc by staying away from dairy. This article will help you take a re-look at the dairy.

It is Time To Be Happy - Ways To Boost Your Happiness Hormones
We live in a world where we are in constant pursuit of joy and satisfaction, to sum it in one word--we keep seeking happiness. Truly speaking, happiness is our natural state of being. It's something we are born with. Only times that would ever set us off our natural state of happiness temporarily would be our basic survival needs for food, safety and comfort. But as we grow up and learn the “ways of the world”, we forget this natural state of being. We are conditioned into believing happiness as a destination that can be achieved only by certain accomplishments, possessions or by being somewhere other than where we already are. We feel we need to create happiness whereas all we need to do is to tap into the vast reservoir of happiness that nature has already blessed us with both inside and outside of us. Our body carries all the happiness hormones we need to be in our natural joyful state. Yet with our limited knowledge, ill management of emotions and restricted pe

The Lymphatic System - The Body's Drainage System
In this blog, the lymphatic system is discussed in detail with the diseases associated with it. It also gives an overview of the steps that should be taken to ensure its proper functioning. What is the Lymphatic System? The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help our body to get rid of metabolic wastes, toxins and unwanted matter. It can also be called the drainage system of the body which facilitates the removal of waste matter from our body. The lymphatic system transports the lymph, a fluid containing white blood cells, which deal with all infections etc in the body. The lymphatic system looks very similar to the circulatory system with similar veins and capillaries. the difference is the circulatory system feeds the cells and the lymphatic system removes waste from the cells. The lymph vessels are connected to lymph nodes, which act like refineries and they collect all waste along with any bacterias or foreign matter and send back cleaned lymph vesse

WHAT MATTERS THE MOST?
This title is a biased one! Pure Nature Cure (PNC) is known to be a MATERIALISTIC science. The proposal of PNC is always matters first! Let's debate... When we talk about MIND & MATTER and ask the perennial question: “WHAT MATTERS THE MOST?”: we see prejudice in the proposal, which is, as if tilted towards the MATTER, in the question itself! :) But on a serious note, the fact beneath is much deeper… The other day a very respected mentor and a friend professor, in an online workshop on health and professional excellence, was proposing that “The food change is not very important. Our mind governs our body and not the other way around!” He was giving some empirical support to the proposed fact where people overcome their bodily ailments with their mind power, miraculously. I did not oppose it, because this proposal was phenomenally motivating and inspiring the crowd. A few years back, I too, used to think in the same li

Best Foods To Boost Your Brain Power & Memory
Our Brain is what makes us human. We are the most evolved species on this planet due to our brain power. The brain controls and coordinates all our actions and reactions. It allows us to think and feel and enables us to have memories and feelings. Your Brain is your most important organ, but what do you really do to take care of it? There are some foods that are good for your brain health and are proven to improve your memory, focus, and cognitive ability. We call the Brain foods (food that feeds the brain) Our take on Brain food is simple : The overall dietary plan is more important than a single nutrient. It's not just about what one must eat but also what one should not eat or reduce the consumption of. The cells in our body produce ATP aka “energy molecule” and during this process, the cells also release free radicals. The excess release of free radicals can lead to the damage of cells which also includes the nerve cell.&n

Seeking the Right Balance
In this blog, I share the small changes I made in my life for better health and balance. Less is more and little things done right daily can overtime, bring big changes into one's life. The Bhagawad Gita, chapter 6 verse 17, says, “The one whose diet and movements are balanced, whose actions are proper, whose hours of sleeping and waking up are regular, and who follows the path of meditation, is the destroyer of pain and unhappiness.” In today's lifetime, when we are just eating more, sleeping less, and all the toxic gadgets have paved their way in to make our lives more vulnerable to the word “dis-ease”, this verse makes so much sense. This is very important to understand as we all are running behind excess monetary pleasure instead of finding the bliss of satisfaction in little things. Nobody knew about the word anxiety until every fourth person started suffering from it. Why are we not finding enough happiness in little things, as less

How Naturopathy Can Save India’s Overburdened Healthcare System?
We've seen our healthcare system collapse during COVID. Although, it recovered soon, and thankfully we're out of the global pandemic yet a lot needs to be done. “The Doctor: Patient ratio in India is 854” “India has one of the lowest budgets for public health in the world” And yet, we seek healthcare only when we fall sick! Why not be proactive and choose a healthcare system that can keep you healthy every day without any medicines or surgeries? We're talking about Naturopathy - a system of healthcare that's ages old, but still relevant and working perfectly in modern times. Why?

How To Get Your Daily Health Dose Of Sunshine
Sun powers all life on this earth. The sun has been revered by diverse ancient cultures through millennia – both for its ability to enable life, as well as its healing powers. Today scientific research is proving these beliefs right, by spotlighting the various benefits of sunlight.

This article explores these popular perceptions and myths and brings forward the truly transformative power of the Sun on our health. Read on so that you can make more conscious and informed choices, with respect to your holistic health. “Turn your face to the sun and let the shadows fall behind you.” – Old Maori Proverb This old proverb packs in timeless life wisdom, using a beautiful metaphor.

Nature's Way of Exercise
Nature has laws that we as nature's children need to live by. There are certain rhythms like the circadian rhythm than man's internal body time clock is tuned into from time immemorial. The tribals live by the laws of the land, sun, sea and atmosphere. For them, its nature that determines when they wake up, work, eat, play and sleep. That was before artificial light and electricity came into being. No matter how much time you spend in artificial light, our body-mind craves the real sunlight. The sun element is important for natural exercise. We are like plants; we absorb the sun's rays and create vitamins and energy from it which sustains us. We breathe oxygen from plants and trees which they naturally eliminate. There is a natural demand for movement from our body which we term exercise as there is a natural symbiosis of rest and relaxation too.

Beat the heat - Cool internally
Summer is back again - and so are the foods, coolants, shades, travel and home projects that we get to do! It is also a time where life bursts in with abundant varieties of fruits vegetables and fauna, along with longer day time. As the temperatures soar outside, let's look at the multitude ways to beat the heat this season. COOL INTERNALLY TO BEAT THE HEAT Come summer (from April to July) and we see a rise in temperatures, heated land surface, loss of surface moisture, dry air, loo winds, heat waves and sunstrokes. The excess heat and sweating can cause fatigue, dehydration, skin rash and allergy occurrences; while quick fermentation of food can result in vomiting, diarrhoea and gastric issues. To beat the heat that is outside, our bodies can counter it with many ways to cool from the inside.

FOOD DOES NOT ENERGIZE BUT CONSERVES YOUR VITALITY
No food gives us energy! Some foods help us to conserve energy! Those are NOT energisers but conserver of energy! The explanations might sound awkward and contradictory to the medicinal explanation of the food. The ATP theory is not a natural explanation of food. FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS: It's also known as the Law of conservation of energy. In an isolated system, the total energy is neither destroyed nor created. The energy received by a life, during zygote-formation is the final and fixed, till the body gets perished. It's only engagements and disengagements of the energy that happen during the lifetime. No increase can be possible in the total energy quotient, whatsoever the measure be. POSSIBILITIES OF CONVERTING FORM (THE FOOD) INTO THE FORMLESS (THE ENERGY): The food is a visible form and energy is invisible and formless. The feasibility of the conversion of form into formless is impossible by mankind. The differentiating fac

Raisins - Nature's Powerhouse of Nutrients & Energy
If we were to think of a food which is nature's storehouse of energy, nutrients, anti-oxidants and which is easy to store and super convenient to carry - what could we think of? Raisins of course! Raisins or the humble ‘Kishmish' as it is also called in our country, needs no introduction. It has always found its way into our food either as a raw topping or as a dry snack. It is also one of the most easily available items at grocery stores. Let us know more about raisins. WHAT ARE RAISINS Several suitable varieties of grapes are sun-dried till they attain their distinct small and wrinkled texture. The flavour of a raisin is similar to the grapes from which it was made. This is also a great way of enjoying grapes when they are not in season. Raisins or kishmish is literally a ‘dried fruit'. On drying a fruit, many nutrients become concentrated in it. For eg. An ounce of raisins contains 6% potassium and 0.5 mg iron, as against 5% and 0.3 mg fo

Are Your Breathing The Right Way?
Breath is one of our most important physiological functions but one which we neglect the most because we do it unconsciously. We can live without food and water for many days but not without air, even for a few minutes. The rushed modern-day lifestyle and being engaged in multiple activities at a time and intense mental work, our breath has become labored, shallow, and sometimes jerky. So, what is the natural way to breathe, and how do we correct it? The forgotten importance of breath The correct manner of breathing has an enormous influence on our health. But many times, we don't even realise we are not breathing properly. Deep breathing is necessary to fully oxygenate the blood that feeds all tissues, improve circulation and eliminate wastes in a timely manner. However, today, many of us take shallow breaths. - i.e. we move the shoulders up and down while breathing rather than using the diaphragm muscles and do not fully utilise our full lung capacity.
