Diseases are not born directly in body. Disorders or irregularities leading to diseases are first born in mind and soul. Gradually their effects can be seen on body. Disorders of body are mere reflection of disorders formed in mind which can also be called as stress or tension. Mental disorders or disturbance can make a person lose his ability to differentiate between good and bad. Everything just appears same to him. As a result, irritation, frustration, anger, disrespect, ego, lust, bad thoughts make a room in his mind. He runs away from the company of good people. Mind does not enjoy such company and always wants to be around bad people and part of a bad company. This increases disturbance in mental peace, discomfort etc.....
To help oneself from falling into stage of mental disturbance every soul has to show kindness towards one another. He should be ready to serve others. He should sacrifice beliefs and thoughts which are evil and not good for him and should replace them with good beliefs. Once belief system is changed thoughts too changes and in no time character of a person changes. He should check his company and always get enrolled in company of good people. This will keep him calm and patient.
Once mind is sound, it is not difficult to keep body sound and healthy. Irrespective of what care we take to keep our body healthy which may include following a healthy balanced nutritious diet, following a daily exercise regime, going for regular health check-ups etc..... if we do not concentrate on health of our mind and always live a busy life full of hustle-bustle, our body will never be healthy. All the efforts we have put in will go in vain. Some people often complain that they have put so many efforts to keep themselves healthy but could not keep diseases at bay. This is because they have concentrated only on their physical health and paid no attention to their mental health.
Stress and tension are the main causes of any disease today which may be acute or chronic. Every cell in our body acts according to the changes that occur in our body. Changes in body are again associated with the response we create in every situation that is during times of crisis as well as during times of happiness. All our excitement, pain, sorrows and other responses show effect on our body. We react without even knowing what effect it is imparting on our body.
Thus, importance is given to peaceful life. When there is peace, there is patience. A person remains calm. His mental calmness reflects on his body. Once whose mind is free from mental disturbance will always live a disease free life. No irregularities will form in his blood. Disorders like changes in blood pressure commonly known as high blood pressure or low blood pressure, changes in blood sugar level known as diabetes and other blood related disorders are usually cause of too much stress and tension. Irregularity in eating pattern, following a wrong life style, genetic or hereditary factors are a few factors responsible for causation of these disorders in some patients. Most of the people are suffering from these disorders mainly due to the stress and tension prevailing in their life which has become an inevitable part of their life style. For us it seems normal to live a stressful life. But for body it isn't normal. If one wants to keep his diseases at bay and live a very healthy life style, he should give equal importance to both his physical and mental health. A sound mind in a sound healthy body is a secret that leads to healthy life which is free from all sorts of diseases and disorders.
