International Youth Day: Youth and Country's future: Proactive and Preventive Care!


In one of my talk on Integrative and Lifestyle Healthcare, I came across two young boys coming forward requesting for some development in Bihar on the same subject. As my interaction continued, I was surprised to know on the steps and actions they had initiated in Bihar in various areas of development in the areas of health, education, youth empowerment, etc. Was inspired to see their hope and their power to shape the future in the state. 

This is not the first time, I have come across young people being hungry for better options. They are rejecting the status quo and demanding a better future. An engineer after 10 years in eminent multinationals, took a break to perceive MS yoga, and currently researching on power of our ancient Vedic hymns and its vibratory effect on the body. He is one of the team members  among the Clinical team of Integrated system at WELLBEEING. 

High numbers of young people taking risks and trying to reach a better life, and willing to take drastic actions to do so is quite inspiring. And if these youth are allowed to realize their full potential, developing countries like ours could see huge economic gains.

The evolution of youth and their mind set in the last few decades have changed drastically. Today's youth are not ready for any compromise. In 40s (Our grandfathers) youth followed mostly their ancestors. They were mostly followers....followed their family affairs or business. In 60s (Our fathers) youth focused on bread earning. They wanted to make a living for their family, and settle down. This is when migration to urban areas began - the beginning of nuclear families. Felt contented with what was achieved by their retirement and settled. In 70-80s, people worked for their lifestyle. Tendency was to make money, property, etc. Started toiling more than the previous generation - the beginning of lifestyle problems. The focus of youth of 20th century is clearly 'quality of living'. To do what they wish and follow unconventional approach. Normal is boring. The wants are more than the need.

This clearly demands for a change in the offerings expected, be it in health care, home care, education, personal care, etc. The need for redefining every care is inevitable today. 

At WELLBEEING, the need for redefining the way medicine is offered, is the motto through 'Integrative Medicine', which we believe is the future of healthcare, a new generation Healthcare delivery.

Do we need to go back to getting dirty and having fun for better Immunity?

International Overdoes Awareness.  Is over caring taking us away from our body's own immunity power?   The concept of immunity in traditional medicine came from the fact that human beings are born with a basic immune system which may be weak or strong. Through constant interaction with the microbes in our environment, and within our gut, we learn to fight against new microbes. This helps to strengthen the immune system. Over time, in the name of hygiene the excessive usage of insecticide, microbicidal agents, and lack of interaction with nature (plants, soil and external organisms) has gradually made our immune system weaker. Immunity, as we understand through modern medicine is the function of certain cells, enzymes and immunomodulatory chemicals that attack pathogens preventing them from disease creation. This concept of invasion from microorganisms on the biological defense system led to the development of antibiotics and vaccines. However, with the developments of auto-i...

Health & Immune Boosting with Squatting

                                                            - By  Dr Mahesh Kamal, BNYS, Acupuncture & Drug-free Pain Rehab,                                                                   Consultant at WELLBEEING Integrated Health Services, Bangalore We gave up squatting, sitting on the floor for the sake of a dignified and comfortable living. When you look back or if you ask your grandparents, they will tell you about this. Some of the examples are: both males and females used to squat while defecating and urinating and they understood it for the sake of hygiene and not splashing to sides. But today w...

Lifestyle, Body type and Seasons, What are their connection?

The Science of Imbalances!   ‘Science of life’ is explained very well in Ayurveda. It’s very fascinating to know about this science, which deals with the way of life and life style. It’s main aim is to lead a healthy and happy life. It believes in maintenance of health and prevention of diseases. Thus maintaining harmony in the health and environment, and achieving overall well-being of an individual is the overall objective of this ancient science. All of us know that any variation in the food or place or life style from our routine, we often feel a difference in our health like say, a mild stomach discomfort or change in bowel movement or sore throat etc. We have also observed that we come over the disturbances that tend to happen by simple life style changes or adoption of specific food and regimens. The remedy is often within nature that can influence the body composition a bit for chemical changes within. We just need to be present to these or be aware of basics of our body....
