Why Do People Fall Sick?
Understand the Real Causes of Illness, Solutions, and Preventive Measures
In life, we all fall sick at some point. But have you ever wondered why we actually get sick?
Generally speaking, about 50% of illnesses are the result of our own mistakes. These mistakes can be of many types — such as improper eating habits, irregular routines, ignorance, bad company, or following wrong advice.
An illness occurs when any organ or system of the body is affected and symptoms start appearing externally.
For example, when our digestive system is disturbed, symptoms like stomach pain, gas, constipation, vomiting, or diarrhea emerge.
Similarly, if a person frequently suffers from cold, cough, sore throat, fever, or breathing difficulties, it indicates an imbalance in the respiratory system.
Besides these, our body has several other important systems, such as:
Nervous System — linked to the brain and nerves
Circulatory System — responsible for blood circulation
Skeletal System — the framework of bones
Hormonal System — controls the hormones
When any of these systems malfunction, various types of symptoms manifest.
Our body’s key organs — the heart, brain, lungs, kidneys, and liver — must function properly for us to stay healthy. Illnesses arise when these organs are affected.
Immunity: The Body’s Defense System
Everyone falls sick at times, but some recover quickly while others suffer from serious illnesses. The reason behind this is the body’s immunity.
Immunity is the power that enables the body to fight against diseases.
When there is swelling, fever, or pain in any part of the body, it signals that the body has become active in fighting the disease.
When viruses or bacteria enter the body, the immune system works to destroy them.
If the body wins this battle naturally or with the help of proper medicines, we recover. Otherwise, the situation may worsen.
Importance of First Aid
Sometimes, we get bitten by mosquitoes, bees, flies, wasps, or other venomous creatures, or attacked by animals like dogs or monkeys.
In such cases, immediate first aid is crucial:
Try to remove the sting immediately.
Where possible, apply pressure to let the blood flow out and expel the poison.
Wash the wound thoroughly with running water.
Use an antiseptic and seek medical advice without delay.
If bitten by a dog or monkey, it is vital to get vaccinated immediately under medical supervision.
Cancer: A Dreadful Disease
Today, cancer has become a major health concern.
A complete cure has not yet been found for this disease. Surgery may provide some relief, but complete treatment is still not possible.
Cancer primarily results from the abnormal death of cells and the inability of the body to expel them.
Normally, dead cells are removed by the body's excretory system. But when this process is disrupted, organs become infected and disease spreads.
Major causes of cancer include:
Smoking
Excessive alcohol consumption
Use of narcotics
Unhealthy lifestyle and bad habits
Today, many yoga teachers like Baba Ramdev claim that yoga, pranayama, and Ayurvedic treatments can help prevent cancer.
However, from a scientific perspective, prevention remains the most effective measure.
Importance of Vaccination
In today’s scientific age, vaccines for many deadly diseases are available.
Vaccination has made the prevention of diseases possible. Some examples include:
Hepatitis B
Diphtheria
Tetanus
Tuberculosis (TB)
Whooping Cough
Timely vaccination can protect us from these dangerous diseases.
Simple Ways to Prevent Illness
Boost Immunity — Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and practice yoga and meditation.
Get Vaccinated — Ensure all important vaccines are taken on time.
Learn First Aid — Know how to respond correctly in case of accidents.
Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle — Stay away from smoking, alcohol, and other harmful habits.
Consult a Doctor Timely — Never ignore symptoms; seek medical advice promptly.
Stay Happy — Keep stress at bay and make happiness your companion.
Conclusion
The truth is that if we improve our lifestyle, strengthen our body’s immunity, and get timely vaccinations and treatments, we can prevent many diseases.
"No one can make you unhappy unless you allow yourself to be."
Remember this principle and live life with joy, health, and balance.
A healthy mind resides in a healthy body, and a healthy mind empowers us to face every challenge of life.
