14. Oh! Yes, Life style diseases !
ie Manner of living
And it is one’s attitude --So does it mean ,
If life style is ‘good’ higher chances of being healthy
? If not---better chances to be true !
But what is ‘Good’ ?

16. Let us meet the ‘Doctors’

Sunlight
Water
Fresh Air

17. Rest- is it = sleep ?
Is it ‘Relaxation’
How much ?How sleep is important to us ?
Do we listen to our body ?

19. And now comes !

20. Is our
healthy ?
In a way –diet- means NOT only ‘food’ every thing that
we take in !
The Good , the Bad and the ugly !
So-what we ‘chew , smoke, drink ,eat--‘diet’ of all 5 senses

21. Examine our diet and exercise?
Amount of protein,fat,salt,processed food , sugar?
Is there an energy imbalance ie intake of calories
exceeds expenditure of calories

22. How much active are we?
Do we feel hungry ?and then eat
or eat at fixed time ?
OR see a great dish and eat

27. Diet -new way
A lot of work has been carried out by many doctors
following above approaches. They realized –current
medicinal system cures symptoms and not the cause
of these disease .
Dr Neal Barnard, Dr Mcdougall, Dr Gabriel Cousens, Dr
Campbell

28. There is a possibility
These studies and experiences in India by SHARAN and
others create a reasonably high level possibility of
reversing the diseases.
The epidemics of obesity, hypertension, heart
disease, diabetes and cancer are largely related to
our modern day life style ---

29. Whole Plant Based Food !
 densely packed nutrients, and fiber, but lack of
cholesterol, is extremely healthful. Adopting this
diet improves health, and even allows people to
wean themselves off prescription medications.

30. My experience from Dec 09
followed Dr.Bernard’s approach
only Plant based food + moderate exercise
Major inputs from ‘Reversing diabetes ‘
in March 10, by SHARAN
Outcome- No
diabetes ,cholesterol , Triglyceride, lost 8 kgs

31. To summarize..
 To remain healthy 1)Go for mainly .WPB food-low fat and organic as
much as possible-which is nutritionally sound.
 2) Reduce fast/packaged/highly processed and calorie
dense food
 3)Include-salads , vegetables and fruits
