The news that shook me a few days back was the sudden demise of my school junior, due to a massive heart attack. He was just 32 years, full of life, and a proud father of two beautiful daughters. He was very active and loved cycling most. Unfortunately, he had a massive cardiac arrest during cycling and died on the spot without even giving a chance for medical emergencies to arrive and treat him. Within a blink of an eye, he was gone. Until this incident, I was always under the impression that somebody who is physically active (and there could be other factors too) will not suffer from any kind of heart-related ailments.

Why You Should Choose The Herbal Way Of Life
A healthy lifestyle not only changes our body, but it also changes our mind, our attitude, and our mood. It improves the quality of our life. Everyone wants to live a healthy lifestyle these days, we tend to concentrate on only one part of the lifestyle. We miss on the major part of living a healthy lifestyle, which is by being consistent in the choices we make. We shift from one product to another, one diet to another, and expect immediate results. Some believe lifestyle is all about investing inexpensive products. To understand a healthy lifestyle better, we should know about all the factors that contribute to a healthy lifestyle. Beginning from what goes into our body which is our food, our exercise regime, how we manage our stress levels, what we apply to our skin, what surrounds us, our sleep patterns, our thoughts, and so on.
The use of herbal products in our lifestyle helps in absorbing the goodness of nature. India as a country has a rich history of Ayurveda, the use of herbs, and herbal products. This is well known in the history of our civilization too, in our mythologies, in the culture and tradition we follow too. We all know about Sanjeevani, the magical herb which has been mentioned in Ramayana. When we watch these mythologies today, we can also observe that herbs were used to treat all diseases and wounds. We have been listening to stories from our grandmothers on the usage of herbs from their gardens as home remedies. Their lifestyle had herbal products by default. Then came a stage of an invention when many products came into the market which was man-made, people opted for these as the effects were immediate, they were being advertised everywhere to attract people, people experienced the side effects only later and the actual effects did not last for long. Since herbal products are made from what nature provides us, it has a prolonged effect on our lifestyle and is safe. Turmeric is a classic example of being a popular natural product used in our food and in herbal products too. Who knew our simple Turmeric or Haldi would be famous worldwide in the form of ‘Turmeric Latte’! We find increasing demand for herbal products in this generation too. At the same time, it is important to buy herbal products from registered sellers only. In the pandemic situation we have been facing, immunity has become an important topic of discussion ever than before and many herbs and herbal products have come into the picture which helps us in building a good immune system. Who knew about Moringa before? It is so popular today, but our ancestors always used it.
