Lifestyle never caused a disease in the history, at least not until people started developing inappropriate relationship with their natural body and environment. The constant disconnect of the body from the conscious mind and breach of natural way of living with a fascination for neo-modern ‘mechanised’ lifestyle, has created a new genre of illness called ‘lifestyle diseases’.
The onset of lifestyle diseases are insidious, they take years to develop, and once encountered do not lend themselves easily to cure. Therefore, good old much-preferred proverb of medicine, ‘prevention is better than cure’ goes well with lifestyle diseases. Maybe being well aware about the fate of ‘future’ renowned scientist, Thomas A. Edison once said, “The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease”. Indeed, lifestyle constitutes nothing but diet, way of living and choice of products to upkeep the survival of oneself.
Though one has the thought, attitude and interest towards embracing a mindful way of living and living in harmony with nature, often problem arises to source the products and services which appreciate this interests and offer such lifestyle options. Fortunately, world over, few business firms have woken up to the need to encourage and cater services to maintain a balanced happy lifestyle.
