Most people are born healthy and most diseases are self-created. A person living a natural life does not fall sick. Birds and animals are seldom sick. Human beings are the most unnatural creatures. A healthy life, free from ailments, is necessary for a happy life, and a healthy life has its foundation in nature.

Since the olden days, there has been a saying among elderly people, ?healthy body is the first happiness?. All the wealth is meaningless without good health. A sick person can do no good to himself, his family, to the society or to the country. Nor can he perform his religious duties. The aim of a human being should be to understand the rules of good health and to obey them, so that he does not have to depend on doctors burden his life with medicines.
