How you treat your mind and body, decides how they will react and respond.  Though most of us know this, few of us actually pay attention.  In this episode I’m talking about how looking after your mind and body can help you gain good health and avoid unnecessary medication.  We are misjudging Ayurveda if we talk about it just in terms of treatments.  Ayurveda is in fact a repository of solutions to wean you off medication.  Keep listening to what your body tells you and acting on it and your dependence on medications will surely diminish.Here’s what this episode will tell you:Why we need to take our body’s reactions to food seriously.How health and wellness depend on what we eat.How survival is good but healthy survival is what gives contentment.What kinds of foods are good and bad for us.How mental health too depends on what we eat and how we live.Why paying attention to our lifestyle is another important element of good health.How lifestyle changes don’t only include changes in when you sleep and wake up.And  why remedies and medications cannot help you on their own.If you’re looking for natural ways to wellness and health, this is the way to start.I’ll be happy to answer any questions on Ayurveda and how it can help.  Find me on Twitter @Ayurvedaguy, on  LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/nirogam or email me at puneet@thatayurvedaguy.com to chat about it.
