Understanding Health - Part 5 - Creation & Protection - ஆக்கமும் பராமரிப்பும்

The basic function of the body is to get energy for living. Getting energy requires eating and excreting. 

"மருந்தென வேண்டாவாம் யாக்கைக்கு அருந்தியது
அற்றது போற்றி உனின்."

"Confirm and consider the earlier intake and the waste excretion are done before taking food" – says Thiruvalluvar, Tamil Saint Poet. Intake and expulsion only gives energy. What are the uses of this energy? How is this energy utilised? The energy acquired through food, water and respiration (nose and skin) are utilized by the body in three ways.
1. Functional energy ------ }
2. Digestive energy ------ } Equal Energy Distribution
3. Immune or restoring energy ------ }

1. Functional Energy : The energy required for our day-day functions. Functional energy is used for involuntary functions of the internal organs and voluntary functions such us moving the limbs, blinking, talking, etc. Seeing with our eyes, hearing through the ears, smelling with the nose, using the hands, the legs – functional energy is the basis for all these activities.
2. Digestive energy : The food we eat, the air we respire is digested. Energy is replenished by the digestive energy. If digestion is improper, the energy required for the whole body suffers. The other functions of energy, functional and immune energies – also rely on this digestive energy.
3. Immune or Restorative Energy : This is the maintenance energy of the body.
a. Functional and digestive energies produce routine wastes in the body. Immune energy safely removes these wastes without causing any pains to the body.
b. The internal and external organs are replenished after routine activities by immune energy.
c. To restore affected parts of the body; immune energy removes accumulated waste and restores parts affected by the stagnation of waste. 

This is the proper energy distribution of a healthy body. Healthiness lies in their equal distribution.The body does not need anyone's help for this natural function. Do we need any help to talk, walk and see? No, we don't need anyone for our functioning. The body informs us of hunger and thirst. We give food and water to it. The body doesn't need anyone's help for these activities. The body identifies poisoned food and expels it; resists impure air. It also expels waste and regenerates cells. Are those the only function of the body? No, the body that is affected by our violation of natural laws is also rectified and rejuvenated by it. If we cut our finger, do we bleed and lose all our blood? No, within minutes, the body clots the blood and stops the loss of precious, necessary blood. At anytime the body only removes waste, it never removes even a cell that is necessary to it. Remember the dysentery, vomiting and sneezing we discussed in the previous topics, what do they tell us? They show that the body removes waste from the body! What do we understand from blood clotting? The body does not allow the drain of anything that is essential. Yet, today we suffer from so many diseases? Why is this so? We already know that the body is in no way the reason for it.
“If we doubt a thing we already know, it only gives undesired sufferings” – Thiruvalluvar. We are reaping the benefit of our doubt.
