The Vegan Lifestyle

Do you know that natural medication is the best cure for all diseases? Do you know that herbs and other natural medicines cure diseases safely and have no adverse effects?

Most of us are dependent on the conventional medicine. We believe that only medical doctors have the right say on what medicine is good for a certain disease. We grow up in this system, and it is hard to go against it.

We are all entitled to our own opinion. We should respect the opinion of others whether it is correct or not.  But it is always better to tell truth and spare ourselves from debilitating diseases.

Truth, in man’s standpoint of view, is very broad and is relative to almost everything. It is and will always be so unless it is an absolute truth. But there is only one absolute truth in this world- the Word of God!

Truth indeed is so relative and so broad to be discussed here. It will be futile to argue and not agree on something conclusive. It will do us good if we set it aside for the time being, and let us in stead discuss something which will be of great benefit to our health.

Let us talk about health. As I have said in my previous article, health is holistic. It is a balanced functional relationship of the 4 aspects of human life: physical, mental, social and spiritual. We will discuss on the physical aspect, although it is very obvious that whatever is done on the physical also affects the other 3 aspects.

To be physically healthy we need to know the 8 secrets of health, and apply them in our life. But sad to say, no matter how hard we try, we cannot follow them. So we become sick and unhappy.

We go to the hospital and see a medical doctor. He asks question about our medical history, examines us and prescribes a medicine – that is all! He does nothing more, and we go home immediately, unless our condition is critical. We pay the doctor for his services and of course we buy the medicines to become well.

Indeed we become well after taking the medicines that the doctor prescribed. But have we noticed that we seem to be frequenting the clinics and hospitals more of the time? Why the disease comes back so soon, and we are suffering it again? Was  it not cured, or the medicines created another disease?

This question creates arguments for the pros and cons that are hotly debated. The opposition says that conventional medicine is not safe, and that antibiotics does not cure but only transform the disease into another disease. Medical doctors insist that their medicines have undergone years of research and are safe.

This argument has no end. But if we have common sense, we will analyze and learn why we are sick again. Could it be the adverse effects of antibiotics? Could it be the doctor is incompetent? Or could it be your lifestyle doing harm to your body?

There is no use debating an argument that is not winnable. It only wastes our precious time. The best thing we can do is to compare the benefits of each and choose the better one.

Conventional medication involves some health hazards. Exposure to x-ray radiations is harmful to our body. Chemotherapy and mammograms are also dangerous to our body, and most antibiotics are creating more resistant bacteria in our body.

Natural medication such as herbal medicine, vegetarian diet, water therapy, steam bath,  fruit juice diet, exercise, and fasting are safer compared to conventional medication. They are readily available, cheaper and have no harmful side effects. It is the best cure for all diseases.

Healthy Lifestyle – Is Anyone Strictly Following It?

Have you been health-conscious lately, and you tried very hard to be a vegetarian? Indeed, it is quite hard to change your diet, and start eating vegetables when you are used to eating flesh meats. It takes a will and discipline to successfully do it.

But good health is not all about food. It is more about the functional relation of the 4 aspects of life: physical, mental, social, and spiritual. Nutrition touches only the physical aspect though it affects the others as a whole. In other words, to be truly healthy, we need to be healthy not only physically but mentally, socially, and spiritually.

This is what we call healthy lifestyle. This lifestyle avoids not only harmful foods and substances that can damage our body, but it also shuns bad habits or attitudes that can endanger our mind, our good relationship with our fellowmen, and our spirituality.

We may be a total vegetarian, but we stay very late at night – we weaken our immune system and make ourselves very susceptible to a host of diseases. We may have more hours of sleep (this is not good either – we are practicing to die!), but we drive our car recklessly – we are endangering our lives and bound to die very soon!

A healthy lifestyle is holistic. It is a balanced functional relationship of the 4 aspects of life. They must go together and function together as one. If one is weakened, the whole is also weakened and affected.

We all agree that if we do not eat balanced diet, our mental capacity is stunted. Or if we have not eaten our lunch, we become irritable, and may quarrel with our neighbors, thus making us socially unhealthy. But you might not agree with me, if I say that if we have no time with God or no time to read the Holy Bible (that is, we are unspiritual), we are also unhealthy.

A healthy lifestyle is a life that is healthy physically, mentally, socially and spiritually. It is a life of vegetarianism, of good hygiene, of temperance in all things, of sober and ennobling thoughts, of benevolent deeds, and a life fully surrendered to the will of God.

Why vegetarian diet is best for us?

A vegetarian diet is best for us because it is the safest and the healthiest diet for a longer happy life.  A vegetarian diet is complete in carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals for a healthy and strong body.Vegetarian diet is best for us because it strengthens and boosts our immune system to protect us from stress, pollution, and many diseases.

A vegetarian diet is best for us not only for health reasons, but for economic reasons as well. A vegetarian diet is simpler, cheaper and easier to prepare. There is no need to cook the vegetables – you can wash them clean and eat them raw, and get more health benefits from the live enzymes and phytonutrients in them to ward off cancers and other diseases. You can save money on fuel and ingredients. And you can save time too.

I am glad more people are now aware of the health benefits of a vegetarian diet. More health conscious people are becoming vegetarians. I feel happy seeing people living a long, happy, healthy life. It is nice to know that our relatives, friends, and neighbors are healthy and free from any communicable diseases.

I have already written many articles about vegetarianism and vegetarian diet in this website, and I will continue writing until more people are informed of the many health benefits of a vegetarian diet.

Almost all food nowadays undergo a lot of processing. Most of them have preservatives that are harmful to health. Almost all processed foods are garnished or even saturated with monosodium glutamate or MSG. Soft drinks and other instant drinks are mixed with aspartame, a potent excitotoxin that causes brain cancer and other diseases. MSG causes obesity even to those who skip their three regular meals.

Medical studies have recently confirmed that flesh meats are sources of tumors and cancers. Mortality rates are increasing because of too much eating of flesh meats. Even fish and seafood are no longer safe because of pollution and parasites that thrive in the sea and other bodies of water.

The safest alternative is vegetarian diet. Fruits, grains and vegetables was the original diet prescribed by God. Our digestive system was designed for these foods.

Fruits, grains and vegetables supply our body with carbohydrate, protein,  vitamins & minerals. Light proteins from fruits and vegetables are easily digested and assimilated by the body, thus making them readily beneficial to our health.

Health benefits can be obtained in eating raw fruits, grains and vegetables. It cures some diseases, and prevents most of them. Eating raw vegetables enhances good memory and vanishes all bodily pains and aches.

Eight years ago, I started eating raw vegetables. Within two weeks, all my body pains disappeared. My eyesight and hearing improved, and my memory became more retentive and photographic. I was able to memorize seventeen chapters of the Holy Bible in a short time. Also, I became stronger — I could run uphill and downhill without getting tired.
