Question

Good health is the soundness of body, mind and soul. It is that condition in which the

body and the mind duly discharge their functions. Good health helps one to be creative
and to work for the welfare of the society. To be healthy one has to be, therefore, free
from disease; or if he suffers from any, he needs treatment not only for that particular
disease, but also for the whole body, mind and soul. In other words, a doctor has to have a
healthy approach towards patients.
2. In these days of specialization, doctors cure a patient only for his immediate disease,
treating it in isolation. Such an approach goes against the old aphorism that ‘Prevention is
better than cure’. Dr. Hedge provides an insight into the overall causes of simple and
serious disease and describes the method of preventing them without having to take
medicine, but exercising self-control on food consumption, smoking and intake of
alcoholic drinks. He also advocates regular yoga, exercise and meditation to keep fit, but
at the same time warns against overindulgence.Hedge stresses the importance of laughter because laughter induces secretion of good
catecholamine which are hormones produced by adrenal gland; they can be beneficial and
harmful. They are harmful when a person is angry, but beneficial if he laughs. For healthy
living “laughter proves to be great boon” Hedge says.
4. In these days of hectic life, full of stress, strain and emotions, everyone needs to lead a
relaxed life. The best form of relaxation, according to Hedge, is sound sleep. “Restful
sleep at night will recharge our batteries for the following day’s fruitful endeavour.”
