Recently, during a Facebook Live session, yoga guru and Patanjali founder Swami Ramdev expressed concern over the severe cold being experienced in various parts of the country. He not only told ways to keep the body safe in this season, but also linked personal health with national interest and ‘Swadeshi’ campaign.
Cold protection and health protection
Ramdev said that prolonged exposure to extreme cold weakens the body’s immunity. Due to this, problems like cough, cold and joint pain become common. He suggested that instead of relying only on medicines in winter, one should make timely changes in one’s lifestyle and eating habits.
He emphasized on balanced diet, consumption of warm liquids and regular physical exercise to maintain body heat. According to Ramdev, it is very important to keep blood circulation active in winter. For this, he especially advised yoga exercises related to pranayam and breathing, which strengthen the respiratory system.
Swadeshi’s resolve with health
Taking the health discussion forward, Ramdev linked it to ‘indigenous’ lifestyle. He said that choosing Indian products is not just an economic decision, but a big step towards realizing the dream of ‘self-reliant India’. According to him, when we use indigenous goods, we contribute to employment generation in the country and strengthening of the national economy.
Patanjali’s role and service to the nation
During the session, he mentioned Patanjali’s megastore and growing retail network and said that this initiative is an effort to make Ayurveda and traditional Indian knowledge accessible to the general public. He said that personal health and national service are linked to each other.
At the end of the session, Ramdev appealed to the people to adopt a preventive approach instead of being proactive towards diseases. He clarified that only a healthy citizen can build a strong and self-reliant nation.
