learn to prevent constipation etc. by a sensible diet, physical exercises and natural rhythm of the bowel movement rather than try to cure it by laxatives. Prevent the erosion of your liver, decay of your teeth, inflammation of your stomach and filling of your lungs with tar deposits.
Fortunately science has provided means to more profound knowledge of the body and has also provided us with an unprecedented arsenal of weapons in the fight against disease and death.
Do you know :

That pasteurization of milk destroys its natural vitamin 'C' content?
That antibiotics kill the population of friendly intestinal bacteria, leaving the body without its normal supply of valuable vitamins which were produced by the intestinal bacteria?
That continuing physical activities and a regular programme of yoga and exercises could effectively retard the aging process?
That a short period of scientific relaxation can invigorate us more efficiently than a long period of sleep?
