Humans showed no signs of high blood
pressure or diabetes when we were living in forests. Following is an
interesting theory by Dr. B M Hedge, which tell us why such diseases materialized in our time.
Back in the days when we were living in
forests, a harmful situation for us would have been, for example, when we would encounter a tiger.
When we sense a dangerous situation, Epinephrine (fight
hormone) is released from brain in response to
neural signals reflecting increased demand for glucose. Epinephrine
reaches the liver to produce glucose
which is needed by the muscles to flee
from the situation.
So while this is happening, we have an
adrenaline rush, we get the extra energy and we run.
Now in our day and age we don’t see tigers ,right? Wrong. We see them. We encounter them everyday. These
tigers are our bosses or our shouting partners or any situation that makes us
anxious.
So when our boss is screaming at us,
same thing is happening internally. Epinephrine is released, liver produces glycogen
and then what? We don’t run. We don’t utilize what our body is preparing us for
i.e. fleeing from the negative situation.
This creates imbalance in energy amongst
us and further creates diseases.
Makes sense right? Right!
Dr. Hegde is an Indian medical
scientist, educationist and author.
He shuns the western practices of
medicine on proven experiments that antibiotics and western medicine is a temporary solution and bad for long run health. He says
that any disease occurring within us results from unbalanced or negative energy
and how organic living , clean mind and positive energy can result in ultimate
mental and physical fitness.

P.S Don't just run away whilst your boss is screaming at you. Let him finish.
