Energy is the currency of life !

One should remember to enjoy food once in a while, Basically you should be healthy first. If you maintain a sound health, other things follow. Its only through Good health one can have the best of two worlds.

That's a common misconceptions of modern times. Carbohydrate Is the energy provider, the fuel for our body.Our body breaks down complex carbohydrate Into simple sugars namely glucose which provides energy at the time of need. That's why sugar Is given to athletes when they aredrained out in order to provide Instant energy

What happens when the Sugar is used every time an athlete is drained out ? It becomes a poison. Sugar is said to be one of the three WHITE poisons that destabilize one's Health.

It does become poisonous because theblood sugarlevel rises beyond what the insulin produced by the body can tackle..but that point Is not being questioned. I was replying to the statement that proteins and not carbs give energy.  Glucose given to athletes Is an example to prove how carbohydrate Is the fuel or energy provider. Protein Is essential to maintain and repair cells in oue body and therefore required for musclebuilding etc.

No doubt carbos are energy providers and according to medical experts 40-50% of your diet should be made up of carbohydrate rich food substance , however , proteins and other nutrients are as important because if there is not enough protein in your diet your bodily functions slow down inspite of having enough carbos..

It is a combo of several factors. When all the factors contribute together, you will get enough energy that keeps you going. A single factor like I do yoga but eat all kinds of oily foods, deep fried foods etc, the desired results cannot be obtained. One benefit provided by one particular factor will be annulled by the other negative factors.

One of the most vital ingredients for a healthy and purposeful life is energy and we need both bodily as well as mental energy to lead fruitful lives. I have come across a term 'taedium vitae' which expressed succinctly is a kind of world weariness and that can be very fatal.In fact there is psycho-somatic relationship behind a host of physilogical as well psychiatric disorders. A research paper claims that an ailment as common as cough and cold could be the result of a weak,vulnerable mental condition.

You said it, mental energy too is as vital as, possibly even more than physical energy is to us., Physical energy may be responsible for us to help perform our various activities, but mental energy provides us motivation and inspiration.

Any kind of energy both physical and mental comes from food and our well being - a physically sick person is not likely to be mentally alert or energetic ..so they go hand in hand! Physical, emotional and mental energies all depend on our physical well being !

Both Physical mental Health health are vital for Energy. As a practitioner of Yoga, I can vouch for this. I'm blessed with both  strong and physical and mental health  Yoga made me not only strong in physical health, but boosted my mental strength. It has given Self confidence, perseverance  and the trait of not to quit.

Yes, everything Is interlinked...both physical and mental health are dependent on each other and together they contribute to the overall wellbeing of a person. In today's fast paced and hectic life style People are turning towards alternative healing..meditation Is a scientifically proven method for calming oneself and being controlled towards various challenges in life.A balanced diet, physical activities and meditation can be answer to the present chaotic lifestyle

Ask me. As a religious practitioner of Yoga and Asanas, I can say with assertion that I never seen the face of a Hospital. The importance of Yoga can be realized by the declaration of "International world yoga day. by theUnited Nations General Assembly 

Few years  back I attended  a yoga camp organised by Yoga Guru KS Iyengar here in Mangalore and he gave a series of lectures before starting the yoga exercise,..According to him one should eat everything that is available but also indulge in physical activity to counter the negative effects of certain food items...this was in response to a catholic lady who wanted to know if eating beef and pork was harmful ..He was very sensible and practical in his views without being rigid and lived to to be 95 and passed away last year in fact on 20th August , that is tomorrow....

That's the beauty of Yoga. Yoga teaches not to restrict to a particular type of diet. If Yoga is supported by Asanas, eat whatever you like.

The body is basically a chemical factory and brain is its manager. Like operating plants it also needs periodic maintenance and energy to perform its functions. The brain is however  very complex in its functioning and is still being studied as to how it performs. it requires continuous dose of energy to keep it functioning. Yoga is a maintenance tool for keeping the various parts in a roused condition.  The  nature of our selves and our health is toa large extent decided by our inherited DNA and the environment we lead our lives in. Doing yoga in a polluted environment may not benefit the body

True yoga done in a polluted and uncomfortable conditions will not yield the desired results. Like any other healthy practices, Yoga too has DOs and DONTs.

Whether someone does Yoga or some other physical activity , ultimately what it boils down to is that a balance should be maintained between our food intake and physical exertion, doesn't matter in what form...I have seen agriculturists from my city being lean, supple and very energetic even when they are in their late seventies or eighties because of their lifestyle which is hard work and eating either home cooked food or whatever is available because many of them go to small road side restaurants for their lunch..

A healthy life style irrespective of the life style is the answer to the question how and why energy is necessary for one to lead a healthy life.

It is axiomatic that all living beings need energy for work and even for normal body functioning. even inanimate machines and robots need energy. Human and animals need energy even for breathing blood circulation in body.  No  or less energy means less activity and consequent disfunctioning and death.

Exactly sir. any living organism ceases to live, once it is energy less.
