Modern and Eastern Approaches

People forget that America is the

youngest country in the world having only

been discovered and established with in

the past 500 years. Pharmaceuticals have

become popular only within the past 100

years. Compared to the rest of the world,

everything that is considered Western is

still new. Even with today’s newest

technology, research and discoveries, correct information on

weight loss remains at a standstill.

The American way of weight loss may include taking diet

pills which suppresses appetite and may lead to malnutrition. Fat

burning pills sometimes burn fat, but they also diminish muscles,

tendons, and organ tissue.

Some diets include cutting out all breads, or perhaps a

vegetarian diet is suggested, but that is not for everybody.

Regardless of what the case may be, many people fail to lose

weight. This may be due to a misunderstanding of how the body

really works.

Eastern cultures have a different approach to health and

medicine, and this knowledge has been around for thousands of

years. The world’s oldest literature, The Vedas, which was written

5,000 years ago, contains valuable information on how to live

healthy lives and cure diseases through diet and lifestyle. This

information is the basis for Eastern medicine.

There are many incurable diseases in America that can

actually be cured with Eastern medical approaches to health. This

is because in the West, pills are given to treat the symptoms, but

they do not treat what is actually causing the problem. Without

removing the cause, symptoms will reappear. In Eastern medicine

the focus is to treat the true cause of the condition. This is the

correct way to getting healthy and staying healthy.

It is a fact that population of Eastern cultures have the

lowest percentage of overweight people in the world, while

Americans have the highest percentage of those overweight. A

thing or two can be learned from the Eastern way of living and the

basic theory of Eastern diet and lifestyle is quite simple.

The basic knowledge of Eastern medicine and knowing the

proper way to eat is commonly known throughout the population of

Eastern countries from medical practitioners to housewives. While

this information may seem abstract at first, it will later prove to

make sense.

The approach to Eastern medicine sees that the human body

is a part of nature, and that the elements between nature and the

human body must be in balance for true health to be present. This

can be easily done with a little understanding of what this exactly

means…
