To BE Or Not to BE

"To be or Not to Be"- this was not one of my favorites from Shakespere. But the title is the story of my life...Why everyone's life. I recently met with this confusion in some school children, deciding their future. Don't we all go through this?

But these confusions are O.K, compared to what we have been going through these days. There are quiet a few videos, which states that "doing this will improve your life" & after a while the video contradicts what was told earlier. Oats was considered good for your health & a good breakfast food. But now, the same is not so good. 

Coconut was first an awesome food. Then scorned upon, now, again it is gold. Similarly, with the eggs. I can go on enlisting – not only the food products, but also the cleaning materials.

Seriously, are these people so out of their mind?? They keep finding something against what we do, in the name of research. Or is it that we keep trying to change our lives, looking at the Westerners? Is it that we keep forgetting our habits, the habits that our grandparents & great grandparents followed,  just in the name of “I don’t want to be them”? I never found the now so popular diseases like the Diabetes, HBP, Cancer etc., so popular, in our grandparents’days. Did we?

Whatever, the people born after the 70’s have seen too many changes, for good & for bad. To decide which way to follow is such a big stress point.

I too have this confusion of whether to follow the right way, as the researches mention & keep changing, or to do the Not so god way of ignoring them. But then, now a days, I have taken up a unique way, that is to throw the researchers in the Bin, & to listen & respect my Body. That gives a clear indication of what is good for it & what is Not. I eat what I want to, as long as my body is ready to accept it. It is ready to digest it.

All said & done, life is short. Why not live it the way your heart desires, by giving the respect your body deserves? After all, that is what is carrying us through this life. Following the way the body & soul desires, with regular exercises, should be the best way to lead a lovely life!!
