Five elements of Nature namely
Air , Water, Earth, Space and Fire along with various other
forces of nature sustain life and maintain equilibrium on
our planet. Imbalance in any of these elements of nature lead
to chaos.An invisible equation operates within and outside
these five elements of nature to maintain the equilibrium
on this planet. Interestingly, these five elements of nature
viz. Air, Water, Earth, Space and Fire exists in our body
too. Like nature, imbalance of any of these elements of nature
in our body too leads to the destruction our health or life.
Let us examine in detail, how these elements function in our
body.
Air
Air occupies first place in our body. No living being
can imagine surviving without the presence of air. Perform
breathing exercises of Yoga called “Pranayama”
every day under the guidance of an able instructor. "Pranayama"
gives ample exercise to your lungs and keep them healthy.
Today our breathing is too shallow and too quick. We are not
taking in sufficient oxygen and we are not eliminating adequate
toxics.
Breathing is the only technique to supply oxygen to our bodies
and its various organs. Oxygen is vital for our survival and
it purifies the blood stream, removes waste products and toxins
from the body. It (oxygen) is essential for the integrity
of the brain, nerves, glands and internal organs. So deep
and long breathing is the secret of vitality and rejuvenation.
Water The second vital element of nature in our body is
Water. Water occupies 68% space in our body in different fluid
forms. When the body is put to work, its water level is reduced.
You need to refill the required amount of water to keep yourself
healthy. Our body informs us about the need for water by different
means. 99% of us do not understand its indication until our
throat gets dry.
Do not drink water just before eating food, while eating food
and immediately after eating food. Drink as much of water
as you can after two hours and before half an hour of eating
food.
Earth
Third important element of nature in our body is
Earth. Here earth is referred to our food from soil. The earth
provides us the food to survive. Take all the nutritious and
healthy food on this planet, which comes out of soil.
Space The fourth important element of nature in our body
is Space or Vacuum. You need vacuum for everything in our
body. You need vacuum to eat food, transfer food to bloodstream
and others. Naturopathy suggests eating less and living healthy.
You may wonder how? Well… the logic is simple. Identify
that food which contains more proteins, vitamins, minerals
and other enzymes and eat them in less number.
Fire Fire is the fifth and final element of nature in
our body. Fire refers to energy or strength. We need the fire
power to work and stay fit. The absence of fire in our body
leads to ill health. Physical activity of our body is a must
to gain strength. It can be done either by way of exercises
or by any other work which involves physical activity.
As long as a human maintains equilibrium of these five elements
of nature in his body, they remain safe and healthy. Plan
to balance these elements and enjoy life.

Vanishing Destination: Disappearing white
When the
rising global temperature is attributed to the melting
of Arctic and Antartic, it is not a surprise that the snow
top mountains are becoming bare. The
snow at Kilimanjaro is
melting as we record this and the Rhone glacier is drying
up due to lack of snow at top of Alps. Year round winter
spots are vanishing every day!
