7 Main Obstructions of good Health and Live Longer

7 Main Obstructions of good health and live longer | we always find our enemies outside but unknowingly we have many enemies inside us, here we will be discussing 7 main obstructions which are the most culprit of our good health and live longer.

1. Mind-

Concentration and attention of mind is essential for the performance of anything. But the mind is very restless like a monkey or child; wanderer like a dog; obstinate like a donkey; destroyer like a ghost (Devil); moving from one shrub to another like a goat etc--- How can we attain Health and longevity, if we allow our mind to wander away in any direction it likes? Almost all diseases originate from the mind and they healed finally with the aid of mind.

The new studies strongly indicate that virtually every ill that can behalf the body- from the common cold to cancer and heart disease- can be influenced, positively or negatively by a person’s mental state.

2. Negative Thoughts-

Doubts and illusions, hatred and lack of strong faith, discourage a person and will have a destructive effect on the vitality, will power, mind and nervous system. Negative thoughts which disturb the mind are the primary cause of almost all ailments and diseases. The great German Pilosopher, Schopenhauer, who was a pessimist, suffered from chronic stomach troubles. According to Dr. Masaharu Taniguchi of Japan- “Ghastly mental pictures of disease, sensuality and vice of all sorts, produce scrofula and leprosy in the soul, which reproduce them in the body.” Every change in thought makes a vibration in the mind and this is transmitted to physical activity.

3. Evil Habits-

Lying, stealing, cheating, dishonesty, adultery, gambling etc are always accompanied with the fear of being found out ore losing. Irregularity, un punctuality, idleness, unsteadiness, violence, carelessness, sensuality, arrogance, crookedness, narrow mindedness, talking ill of others, prejudices, irritability etc--- are the energy wasting obstructions which must be shaken off to attain good health and to prolong life; otherwise one will remain unhealthy.

4. Negative Emotions-

Medical experiments and psychological researches have started realizing that the most of the physical disorders are manifestations of mental and emotional disturbances. They have proved that emotions are dangerous and lead to various illnesses, such as- heart attacks, cancer, T.B, Polio, paralysis, leprosy, asthma, wind trouble etc—Most of the heart disorders are decidedly psychosomatic.

The main negative emotions:

Lust (Sex):

Lust is the Himalayan weakness of a person, when a health seeker is overpowered by Cupid and can’t control his lust; he is deprived of a healthy body and a vigorous mind.

Anger:

“Anger changes the chemical properties of the saliva to a poison, dangerous to life.” “Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything of which it is poured”. When a man is angry, there is too much Adrenalin released into his blood stream, leading to various harmful diseases.

Greed:

Cravings for too much accumulation of things dislocate the mind.

Ego:

The Egoist thinks himself to be too wise to tolerate the opinions of others. This self-conceit creates mental tension and blocks up his further progress.

Jealous:

It is the combination of fear, anger, and the desire to have and to hold more than others.

Fear:

It is the most destructive emotions. After the bombardment of Strangburg in 1870, many cases of diabetes developed due to fear and anxiety.

Worry:

It is a state of fear of something which may never happen and so it is a foolish waste of energy. Probably most of the worries never materialize. Worry weakens the will power, saps the nerve force and unsteadies thought power.

Anxiety:

Anxiety or even sudden joy is often followed by diarrhea. A state of anxiety can also be the cause of chronic constipation.

Grief:

It takes away the appetite instantly. Like fear, it also leads to graying of hair. It reduces and impairs secretion of gastric juices.

Self-Pity:

It is the mental consumption. Some people always complain and grumble that they are the most unfortunate persons on earth. They generate inferiority complex. They suffer from constipation, insomnia etc.

5. Disease-

Dis+Ease= Body and mind not at ease

Disease is nothing but the punishment for the violation of Nature’s Laws in eating, drinking, breathing, working, resting, thinking etc—in other words, disease (especially chronic constipation) is nothing but the accumulation of poisons and impurities produces by wrong food which is not easily digested and eliminated due to wrong living, defective organs, and emotional disturbances. A diseased person can’t attain good Health and Longevity.

6. Wrong Food-

Food plays an important role to maintain health:

• Some of the substances are absolutely dangerous to the body and the mind; as they contain harmful ingredients. They must be altogether abandoned- such as, opium, cocaine, heroin, hashish, smack, snuff, ganja, wine, bhang, bidis, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, synthetic vitamins, inorganic salts, flesh, eggs, coffee, tea, cocoa, white flour products, white bread, spices, white sugar, refined oil, polished rice, tinned- denatured-fried, refined- overcooked- preserved-frozen and processed food, pasteurized milk.
• Drugs impair the functions of all the vital organs and vital systems.
• Over eating and wrong combination of food stuffs lead to ailments.
• Chilies, stimulants, intoxicants, flesh etc make a person angry.

7. External Impediments-

We are living in a ‘Pollution Age”. Industrial growth has given rise to Environmental Pollution. Ether pollution, Air pollution, Sun-rays Pollution, Water Pollution, Soil Pollution, Food Pollution etc.

Ether Pollution (Noise Pollution):

It is created by mills, automobiles, loud speakers etc. It produces irritability and stress which may be the cause of Cancer, Heart and Mental Troubles, Deafness etc. It has harmful effect on mind and various systems

Air Pollution:

It is produce by smoke and poisonous gases of automobiles and mils and the tobacco smokers etc. It is the cause of T.B, cancer, asthma, throat troubles etc.

Sun- rays Pollution:

Industrial cities are full of dust, smoke, moisture, fog etc which block up the Ultraviolet rays to reach the earth. The people of those places suffer from T.B, cancer, Gout, Rickets, Nervous debility etc.

Water Pollution:

Water is polluted by Industrial wastes- such as, mineral, dyes, pigments acid, etc. It causes diseases-such as, cholera, Typhoid, dysentery, worm diseases etc.

Soil Pollution:

Fertilizers are used for the production of more cereals which have no food value but merely bring forth numerous diseases.

Food Pollution (Adulteration):

The greedy businessmen and Shopkeepers make adulteration in all kind of food stuffs to earn more profits. They are the Agents of Death and cause lots of incurable diseases.

If we become aware of this then we can live our life fully and can prevent such obstruction before being addicted, because most of them are habits, we have a choice to turn into positive habits in us for long life.
