Stop contemplating and start eating fruits and veggies for a healthier life!

Modern age diseases and disorders alphabetically spell out as A for Aids and Arthritis,B for Breast cancer,C for Cardiac disorders,D for Diabetes and Depression and so on. This gloomy scenario has provoked a timely awakening. There is a growing credibility and popularity of alternative therapies from all over the world,such as our own ayurveda,unani,homeopathy,acupressure and acupuncture. These have been joined by a number of recent additions ranging from music or magnet therapy to colour and aromatherapy. They come from an understanding of the intimate link between body,mind and spirit or between man and environment. From this perspective,good health becomes an outcome of all these aspects. This new approach focuses on fostering good health.

As a health promoter and diet consultant,I believe in a preventive approach to good health vis-a-vis a curative one. All you are required to do is to join hands with the healers and the experts in bringing about your own recovery. Be it altering your dietary habits,incorporating yoga or gym or engaging in magnet or aroma therapies. Trust me,difficult or unrealistic as it may sound,it will be enormously rewarding in the long run. Your time starts now to reverse the aging process and to steer clear of such lifestyle related dreaded diseases. One of the main functions of liver is to remove and breakdown toxins from the blood. Start with a liver cleanse every day. In other words filter clear your liver to help it function better. Consume fresh fruit and vegetable juices. Heres to your abundant good health!!
