If we understand our body & mind, by default they are designed for instance sensual pleasure to enjoy everything available in this world. Basis of our enjoyment like animals or other creatures are mostly in eating, sleeping, mating & recreational activities irrespective of our nationality, culture or religion. Quality & Quantity of our enjoyment are depends on our overall Personality or Consciousness either in Mode of Goodness, Passion or Ignorance.
Person with Mode of Goodness mentality is self contained, self controlled and self satisfied has lesser desire for instant sensual pleasure activities. Happy & satisfied with Spiritual food rather then Material food. In contrary person with Mode of Ignorance personality has unlimited desire and completely absorbed in Eating, Sleeping, Mating & Recreational activities. Instant Sensual Pleasure in Mode of Ignorance which taste like nectar in beginning but ends in poison.
With our common sense, some personal experience and observing people around us we know that anything too much either a food, sleep, recreation activities or even too much work is not good for our mental & physical health. As a human we can understand all these, have capabilities to change our mentality & lifestyle and thus prevent & cure many of the above mentioned chronic diseases.
“PREVENTION is BETTER then CURE. EVOLUTION is BETTER then REVOLUTION”. Of course besides conscious efforts from individual to live healthy life at the time of emergency & many other times we need physician’s guidance & interventions to control & cure the diseases.
I am practicing PM & R stand for Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Physician. Too me PM & R also means P for Purifying our body & mind, M for Minimizing our bad habits , Maximizing our good habits & R for Re-Creating the Life.
Bg 17.8 — Foods dear to those in the mode of goodness increase the duration of life, purify one’s existence and give strength, health, happiness and satisfaction. Such foods are juicy, fatty, wholesome, and pleasing to the heart.
Bg 18.37 — That which in the beginning may be just like poison but at the end is just like nectar and which awakens one to self-realization is said to be happiness in the mode of goodness.
Bg 18.39 — And that happiness which is blind to self-realization, which is delusion from beginning to end and which arises from sleep, laziness and illusion is said to be of the nature of ignorance.
Bg 6.17 — He who is regulated in his habits of eating, sleeping, recreation and work can mitigate all material pains by practicing the yoga system. ( Vedabase.com ).

MY SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION & SOURCE:
I am inspired to hear & read Vedic Scriptures & other philosophy by regularly hearing Sri Pandurang Shashtri Athvale known as Dadaji ( speak on Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Veda based discourses & western philosophy ) and association of Swadhyay Parivar every Sunday in Swadhya Kendra.
I also hear and read everyday the discourses & literature on Vedic thoughts from Srila Prabhupada, his disciples & grand disciples ( HH Bhakti Rasamitra Swami, HH Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu, Sutapa Das, Amarnath Dasa, HH Bhakticharu Swami, Urmila Devi Dasi, HH Sivarama Swami, HH Radhanath Swami, Lal Govind Prabhu ( Gujarati & Hindi) Prahalad Maharaj in Surat (Gujarati) .......and many more from ISKCON......).
FYI: Good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com ( Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures ). Hearing & reading these scriptures, Eating Sanctified Pure Food and Chanting Vedic Mantra daily are purifying to our senses, nourishing to our heart ( Soul ), transcendental to our consciousness and uplifting to our emotions.
It is always good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. I am posting articles based on Vedic scriptures and expressing my opinion, thoughts, understanding & emotions. Writing/sharing the articles is my Devotion to God/Gita/Guru. Of course I use Smartphone, Google, Pexels search to collect some data. Thanks to Facebook & Social media for providing me the platform.
Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE.
Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of Guru & God ( Krishna , Absolute Truth ).
NOTE:
I use the word Hearing instead of Listening when it comes to Scriptures. Because Scriptures are so potent that simply by Hearing them even if you don’t try to interpret or analyze or understand them still there will be passive positive effects on our mind & senses.
We can follow either Quran, Bible, Jainism, Buddhism, Gita or any other Philosophy that makes sense to us, purify us , elevate our consciousness and qualify us to understand the God and instill the love for God & his creation. ( whichever way we can understand the God, Form or Formless..or Universal Consciousness or Energy ...etc ).
Don’t try to understand God by Name, Religion & Depiction ( means image, picture...etc ) but try to understand him by Definition through Scriptures. Transcendental subjects of God & his creation can not be understand by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why circle is circular? Just by definition circle is circular similarly by definition God is unborn, complete, unlimited, infinite, eternal, the Absolute Truth the source of everything, cause of all causes.
I see the God besides above mention qualities as a eternal living person ( not a abstract or some kind of light ) known by name Krishna means who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, form, abode, many incarnation, activities, qualities, associates, full of wisdom, bliss, cause of all causes.
