Modern man is in the grip of tremendous stress and strain, stemming from education, employment, business, family, public life, not to mention journeys with out rest for days on end and unhealthy diet habits. if one adds to it the health problems created by our daily intake of fat and sugar, excessive use of medicines and lack of exercise, one thinks of man as a prey hotly pursued by some awful predators. Needless to say, even steel engines are in need of some rest and maintenance. Man, however, thinks about his own health only when he falls ill. Ayurveda strikes a starkly contrastive attitude towards man's health. One does not have to wait for diseases, to take care of one's health. |
