We claim to love nature, anything natural appeals to us- mountains, landscapes, rivers, springs and endless other things linked with nature.  But when it comes to natural living for good health we are nowhere near it.  Take for example the food we eat and entertainment we get.  Entertainment outside the house in open air and eating food at home are good  for our health.  This way  we enjoy the benefits of nature and good food. But don’t we all do the reverse of this? We seek entertainment inside the four walls  of our house watching television, playing indoor games, relaxing under ceiling fan or in an airconditioned room.  But we go out to eat in clubs and restaurants, parties and get togethers.

 We spent huge amount of money in buying things which are of very little or no use and many a time harmful to our health. These include food items and clothings that never suit our body’s requirement in the climate and place where we live or for the occupation we are engaged in.  We even think and speak artificially to suit our  conveniences, surroundings and circumstances. These thing affect our health.  To a great extent the food we eat  determines our thought and speech.  While thought  and speech produce disorders nervous in origin, the food we eat produces strikingly visible diseases, physiological and psychological in nature.  On one hand we over- strain and under-nourish our mind and body, misuse and mistreat them in various ways under different circumstances.  On the other hand, we appease our body beyond limit, over-nourish and give it long hours of needless rest thinking we are taking special and proper care of our health.  We fail to realize, between these two extremes there exists a balanced way of living.
