We eat rice, a body of flesh. It is normal that we shall be sick sometimes. But, if we pay more attention to our sleep and eating, sickness is not easy to visit us.
Unless we have accident, we have to see doctors for cure. In normal case, we can live a healthy life without any illness. As long as we live our life carefully, our body resistance will be very strong and small illness, such as cold and fever, is not easy to fall upon us. Big sickness, such as stomach, kidney, lever, heart and so on, are mostly caused by our carelessness, especially in the way of our over-eating.
Ancestors told us that “sickness is from mouth.’ This sentence can never be wrong. It is because we eat without control, eating anything as long as it is tasty. Eating more than our stomach can digest, and finally we suffer in illness because we eat crazily and blindly.
Therefore, we must have sufficient sleep eight hours at least or more the better. Every illness is from short of sleep which is the medicine of natural cure.
Eating is important, but it is not necessary to be expensive food. Ordinary food is good enough to nourish our body. But, you must not eat too much, especially in dinner time.
Peaceful mind is also important to be away from illness. You can live a healthy life and a long life if you apply to a state of peaceful mind.
