LIFESTYLE-WELL-BEING :
Lifestyle - Well-Being has been defined as the constant and deliberate effort to stay healthy and achieve the highest potential for well-being. The concept of well-being incorporates many other components other than those associated with physical fitness, such as proper nutrition, disease prevention, smoking cessation, stress management, safety, spirtituality and health education. Well-Being requires a balance between physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and social well-being.

"Relax-Detox-Rejuvenate-Heal" concepts of Ancient & Traditional Medicine Wisdom (Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom, Yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy, Aromatherapy) to restore internal environment conditions (chemical content, volume, temperature, and pressure of body's tissue fluid) balance and stability, within normal ranges, essential to achieve and maintain Holistic (Body-Senses-Mind-Soul) Well-Being (Health-Fitness-Beauty)
When the body is healthy, the internal environment (tissue fluid that surrounds and bathes every cell of the body) conditions (chemical content, volume, temperature, and pressure of body's tissue fluid) remains stable within normal ranges, essential to achieve and maintain Holistic (Body-Senses-Mind-Soul) Well-Being (Head-to-toe Health-Fitness-Beauty)
ILLNESS - LACK OF HOMEOSTASIS :
If the Internal Environment conditions (chemical content, volume, temperature and pressure of body's tissue fluid) deviate from normal, body's mechanisms respond that try to restore Internal environment (tisue fluid) conditions to normal.
If the body's mechanisms are unsuccessful, to restore the conditions (chemical content, volume, temperature and pressure) of body's tissue fluid (internal environment) to normal, the cell malfunctions and dies. This leads to illness or disease.
Holistic Health and Well-Being:
In human beings all processes like growth, respiration, digestion, and excretion are inter related. No part of the body , from the smallest cell to a complete body system works in isolation. All organ systems of the body function together, in fine-tuned balance, for the Holistic health and well-being of the individual to maintain life.
Disease represents the disruption of the balance in the organ systems of the body functioning together.

CANCER PREVENTION LIFESTYLE
Cancer is defined as an uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. Some cells grow into a mass of tissue called tumour, which can be either benign or malignant. A malignant tumour would be considered a "cancer". As cardiovscular disease, cancer is largely preventable disease. The biggest factor in fighting cancer today is health education. As much as 80 percent of all human cancers are related to lifestyle or environmental factors(environmental factors includes diet, tobacco use, excessive use of alcohol, overexposure to sunlight, and exposure to occupational hazards, exposure to harmful chemicals, pesticides etc.). Most of these cancers can be prevented through positive lifestyle habits. The most effective way to protect against cancer is by changing negative lifestyle habits and negative behaviours that have been practised for years. Occupational hazards, such as asbestos fibres, nickel and uranium dusts, chromium compounds, vinyl chloride, bischlormethyl ether etc., increase the risk of cancer. The risk of occupational hazards is significantly magnified by the use of cigarette smoking.
AGE
Age is a risk factor for health-related problems because of the greater incidence of heart diseases, diabetes, hypertension, musculo-skeletal problems,lack of immunity, ageing of the functional systems of body, among the older people. This tendency may be partly increased by an increased risk among the other factors due to changes in lifestyle as people get older the physical activity is less, nutrition is poor, obesity, etc.
DIETARY HEALTH PROBLEMS
The diet should be low in fat and high in fibre, with ample amounts of vitamins from natural sources. Obesity should be avoided. Low fibre intake seems to increase the risk of colon cancer. These salt-cured, smoked and nitrite-cured foods have been linked to cancer of the esophagus and stomach, hence these foods should be avoided. Alcolholism increases the risk of certain cancers, especially when combined with tobacco smoking or smokeless tobacco. In combination alcoholism and tobacco smoking or smokeless tobacco significantly increase the risk of mouth, larynx, throat, oesophagus, and liver cancers. According to some research, the synergistic action of heavy use of alcohol and tobacco yields a fifteen-fold increase in cancer of the oral activity. High fat intake has been linked with many health problems.
CORONARY HEART DISEASE RISK MANAGEMENT
An important concept of Coronary Heart Disease risk management is that with the exception of age, family history of heart disease, and certain electrocardiogram abnormalities, all other risk factors are preventable and reversible and can be controlled by the individuals themselves through appropriate lifestyle modifications. Improving cardiovascular endurance through aerobic exercise (eg:Therapeutic customised Yoga) has good impact in overall heart disease risk reduction.In heart disease risk reduction program yoga is effective when therapeutic customised yoga becomes a part of lifestyle. Regular aerobic exercise (therapeutic customised yoga), weight control, Customised Diet advice, Smoking cessation, and stress management are the key principles for Blood pressure control. If too much fat is accumulated in human body, the person is considered obese. Obesity has long been recognized as a primary risk factor for coronary heart disease. Maintenance of health body weight is essential in any cardiovascular risk reduction program.
PERSONAL AND FAMILY HISTORY
Individuals who have a family history or have already suffer from cardiovascular problems, diabetes, asthma, skin problems, digestive problems, migraines etc., are at a higherrisk than those who have never had a problem. People with such family history of health problems are strongly advised to maintain the other risk factors as low as possible, by adapting Healthy Holistic lifestyle approach. Since most risk factors are reversible, customised holistic lifestyle solutions for Holistic Health & well-being will significantly decrease the risk for future Health problems.
TENSION AND STRESS
Tension and stress has become part of modern lifestyle in every human being's life. Every one has to deal with the pressures of daily goals, deadlines, responsibilities, balance official life-style and personal life-style, manage pressures. Today every thing in life is a source of stress.
In modern life it is not the stressor itself that creates the health hazard, but it is the individual's response to the stressor that may pose a health problem. Individuals who are under a lot of stress and cannot relax will experience a low-level of strain on the cardiovascular system that could manifest intself in the form of psychosomatic diseases or heart disease.
In a stressful situation, the body's "fight or flight" mechanism is activated, heart rate and blood pressure shoot up, breathing quickens and deepens, muscles tense up, and all organ systems are alert to handle the stress situation.
The remedy for stressful situation is to learn techniques to cope with stress, relieve muscular tension and eliminate the physiological changes that triggered "fight or flight" mechanism.
According to Traditional Medicine Wisdom, breathing exercises and energy balancing therapies are effective to develop mental, physical,and emotional stamina. Breathing exercises and energy balancing therapies are effective antidote to stress.
REST AND SLEEP
For maintaining health a person needs rest and sleep. During sleep mind is set at rest. Repair and growth of the tissues take place during sleep because during working hours our tissues and nerves are constantly subject to wear and tear. To take rest and have sufficient amount of sleep is a must. It is only during sleep that waste products are eliminated from the tissues. In reality, in sleep state the heart rate and breathing are slowe and the brain is resting, the metabolic rate is lower so that repairs and refreshment take place. Sleep helps to get rid of fatigue.
FATIGUE
The feeling of tiredness or weariness resulting from muscular activity is known as fatigue. Fatigue also means weariness resulting from either bodily or mental exertion in response of stimuli to any organ's overactivity.
Fatigue may be acute or chronic, or muscular
1. ACUTE FATIGUE Acute fatigue is due to overexertion and may be acute or chronic, or muscular
2. CHRONIC FATIGUE Chronic, long continued fatigue may be due to diseases like T. B., malnutrition, anaemia, heart diseases, endocrine disorder, emotional conflict, etc. and is relieved by rest or customised holistic healing therapies of Traditional Medical Wisdom
3. MUSCULAR FATIGUE Some times muscles are affected as in swimming and manual labour, causing fatigue. This type of fatigue affects whole body, and is known as muscular fatigue. Muscular fatigue is relieved by customised holistic healing therapies of Traditional Medicine Wisdom, which have the essence of science, skill and art.
PAIN - MANAGEMENT
Pain is a universal symptom of discomfort, which we need to learn to cope with and make effort to relieve pain for achieving and maintain Holistic Health & Well-being. For many physical pain can lead to mental pain and hence lead to a constant and chronic state of distress and despair. To achieve and maintain Holistic Health & Well-being , it is essential to have a holistic approach to pain. To have a holistic approach to pain, Traditional Medical Wisom, has time - tested methodologies.
At Prithvi, Traditional Medical Wisdom(Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy, Yoga and Aromatherapy) techniques are applied to manage pain in a holistic approach.
Acute pain(short and sharp) is often a danger warning which, if ignored, can lead to injury, acute pain may also be a realisation of over doing things and it also means that there is a need to rest and heal the source of acute pain to achieve and maintain Holistic Health & Well-being. Acute pain is useful and vital as a protective mechanism.
Chronic pains are the ones, we need to learn to manage them effectively in time, because we can afford to postpone care and treatment to relieve the pain, as generally the chronic pains are not so sharp in comparison with acute pain. Since human beings can manage with chronic pains, these untreated chronic pains can rapidly trigger physical and emotional problems. Therefore Chronic pains needs to be treated by understanding the underlying cause of chronic pain. Stress management therapies of Traditional Medicine Wisdom(Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy, Yoga and Naturopathy) assist to manage stress, in an effort to heal the cause of pain.
NATURAL PAIN- KILLERS FROM WITHIN

Most of the natural methods of Traditional Medial Wisdom to manage pain, work with the help of therapies which are effective in releasing natural pain-killing substances from the body.

PROTECTING OURSELF FROM HARMFUL ELECTRIC FIELDS
Steps to minimize exposure to harmful electric fields, and reduce the risks to health.
1. Avoid putting beds near electrical appliances. Most adults sleep for around eight hours in every twenty four hours, and children even longer. Hence if we are sleeping in an electric field, we will be exposing ourself to the harmful effects of electric field for long periods. Alternating electric and magnetic fields can interfere with the metabolic processes of the body.
2. Avoid sleeping near electric heaters. Electric storage heaters heat up the stones inside them overnight and release this heat during the day. Similarly, electric heaters in hot water tanks heat the water during the night. Any thing placed near them is exposed to their adverse effects, so the solution is not to place bed near electric heaters. It is advisable to pace the electric heater at such a distance that the electric heater heats the air of the room and prevents transferring heat directly to human body.
3. Switch off and unplug appliances after use Whenever electric current flows through an appliance there is an electric field around it. In some appliances the on/off switch is located in the wiring circuit after live current has passed through the appliance, so even when it is switched off electric current flows through the electric appliance an generates an electric field.
4. Keep distance from electrical appliances Hand held tools such as electric drills, sanders, hedge trimmers, or hair dryers, generate high electric fields and are held close to the body. Often we use for few munutes. If we need to use hand held electric tools for more than an hour, at a time, it is advisable to have a rest for at least ten minutes for every hour.
PROTECTING OURSELF FROM HARMFUL ELECTRIC FIELDS GENERATED BY KITCHEN APPLIANCES IRON
In common with any otherhand-held electrical appliance, iron generates a high electric field and is held close to the body. If ironing for long periods it is advisable to take a 10-minute break every hour.
ELECTRIC SOCKETS
Surrounding electric sockets there is inevitably an electric field.
RADIO
The electric fields generated by radios are not very high, so radios do not cause adverse effects on human being.
ELECTRIC COFFEE MAKER
Coffee makers that keep the coffee warm give off high electric fields. It is advisable not to keep the coffee makers near us when we are likely to sit or rest for long hours to prevent exposure to high electric fields generated by coffee makers.
MICROWAVE OVEN
It is advisable not to stand in front of the microwave oven while cooking, as the electric fields are enormous next to the appliance. Unlike an electric field does not stop when the source is turned off. So it is advisable to leave microwaved food for 5 minutes after cooking before eating it.
PROTECTING OURSELF FROM HARMFUL ELECTRIC FIELDS GENERATED BY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES IN LIVING ROOM TABLE LAMP
A lamp with a metal base creates very high fields. There is anecdotal evidence of people suffering frequent migraines or headaches after sitting reading for long periods by electric lamps with metal base. When the electric lamps with metal base was replaced with electric lamps with wooden base the head aches ceased.
STANDARD LAMP
It is advisable to avoid lamps made of metal, especially brass near arm chair or any where we rest for long periods.
ADJUSTABLE LIGHT SWITCH
This type of light switch gives out very high electric fields unless it has a well earthed brass cover plate. It is advisable not to place the arm chair or sofa or bed near the adjustable light switch.
RADIANT ELECTRIC FIRE
The fields around radiant electric fire can be high. It is advisable not to sit directly in front of the radiant electric fire. It is healthier to use the radiant electric fire to heat the room air.
TELEVISION
The electric field is high right next to the television screen, may be as much as 50 volts per metre. At 2.5m ( 8ft ) away from the screen the electric field will have fallen to around background levels. So it is advisable to sit about 2.5m (8ft) away from the television screen to prevent the negative effects of electric field generated by the television. Children in particular should take care not to sit close to the television screen, instead they should sit about 8 feet away from the television screen.
PROTECTING OURSELF FROM HARMFUL ELECTRIC FIELDS GENERATED BY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES IN BED ROOM
ELECTRIC BLANKET
Electric Blanket emit some of the highest electric fields of all, very close to the body. If we leave the electric blanket on all night, we are exposed to those electric fields for many hours at a time. In some electric blankets the wiring circuit is arranged so that the switch is located after the live current has passed through the blanket. In this case simply switching off at the switch on the supply cord or relying on the time switch, may not be sufficient to avoid exposure to the electric field. The safest way is to use the blanket to warm the bed and then pull the plug out of the socket at the wall before getting in the electric blanket.
BED SIDE LAMP
Bed side lamps with metal bases give off very high electric fields, so it is advisable to choose one with a wooden base or ceramic based to minimise the negative effects of electric field affecting the human body.
PROTECTING OURSELF FROM HARMFUL ELECTRIC FIELDS GENERATED BY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES IN WORK ENVIRONMENT OR STUDY ROOM
CORDLESS PHONE
The newer digital (DECT) cordless phones radiate all the time, and they may be a cause of headaches. It is probably best to restrict their use as far as possible.
CELL PHONE OR MOBILE TELEPHONE The cell phone or mobile telephones transmit and receive low power microwaves, which can be absorbed by the body's tissues. Spending long time on cell phone or mobile telephone is likely to have harmful effects on health of human being. Headaches after using a cellphone are the first sign of harmful effects on health of human being.
COMPUTER SCREEN
Work stations are usually only 50cm (19.5 inches) from the operator's face, hands, and upper limbs, so electric field exposure to human being is high.
