Fitness is the first factor for living life. Fitness as first priority or “fitness first” should be the motto of any one who wants to live the life. Exercise is the first
step to fitness and can even help “curing” the diseases. Here is “Why and “How” of exercise as “fitness” and “curing”
tool. Continuous research in China, Japan and now Korea has established that there is a “body energy system” reaching each organ, every part of body. The first
cause of ill health is damage in “energy supply system”. This first energy supply defect can be diagnosed by corresponding switch or point located along
“energy route” on our body. In Chinese system these “energy routes” are called meridians. The points on meridians can be identified for each organ and
part of body.

When any disorder or disease occurs, a sense of pain is felt on touching or pressing the point. The healing process requires to keep the point
pressed and this is called acupressure. Sometimes instead of pressure a needle is inserted to a small depth at the point. This inserting of needle is called
puncture-hence the word “acupuncture”, “accu” stands for point, the process of puncture or pressure utilized is given the name accordingly as acupuncture
or acupressure.

Coming back to role of exercise, any physical exercise involves movement causing certain pressure at various parts or points of the body. The pressure so
caused has a healing effect where a part or organ is diseased, while in case of a healthy part, the pressure stimulates the point to keep the part or organ
energized, fit and healthy. This simple logic makes it scientifically clear how and why exercise helps fitness. The simplest form of exercise is “walking.” People
who walk regularly have benefit of getting “healing” or “keeping fit” pressure on various parts and organs of body leading for fitness as well as cure. Yoga,
bodybuilding, aerobics, various forms of martial art have a similar effect. So whatever be your age, sex, activity, following any system of “exercise for fitness”
should be your first duty since now you know how and why exercise is important for fitness!

Some useful information.
Besides medical help, the alternate system of healing is practiced world over by various experienced knowledgeable persons to cure or heal. There are
number of books available on acupressure, acupuncture and Sujok (an article has already been published in OT on Sujok.) By reading these books and
following instructions one can venture in “self-cure” at no cost without any fear of damage, risk or side effects. However it is desirable to attend some
workshops by some practicing expert to learn the techniques more accurately for better effectiveness.
The drugless therapy has an advantage of keeping
away side effects on health. However one must not forget in case of a serious illness or emergency for proper scientific diagnosed and hi-tech treatment one
must go to well qualified doctors and specialists irrespective of disbelief in the system, for in such cases alternate therapies can be helpful only when given
by practicing experts of repute. Those readers who desire to receive copy of earlier article on Sujok appeared in OT can send us their request. |
