Its rather amazing to found out that the best doctors in the world are not actually the great surgeons of these world or the great physicians from the east, its rather some of the things we don't take too seriously but we do see everyday and some of our daily routines. Mostly our wellbeing lies in our everyday activities. There is no injections or drugs that can be given to someone who is not happy that can make him happy, so simply we're all our own doctors.
"The six best doctors in the world" When i came across this statements early today, I've been pondering on it and relating it to my everyday life, While there has been controversies has to who made this statements, I'm more focused on the message it passed.
The six doctors are sun,rest,exercise,diet,self respect, friends and i want to add the 7th one, laughter.
sun;
While some people think exposing their body to sunlight could expose them to skin cancer and all, it is not so because sun actually did contain about 90% of vitamin D our body needs, infact it is scientifically proven that being under sun for atleast 10 minutes under any weather or season is good and helps to absorb calcium needed for the bone and protect against diabetes and some of other diseases later on
- So don't just be under the AC at home, in your car or at work try get some sunlight, your body needs it.
Infact being under the sun cheers one up, and reduces heart diseases and give more energy.
Rest;
You cant work 24hours round the clock,24/7 its very dangerous, many diseases today would have been well managed if one adequately rest, its important because its reshape the body and mind, a man who is stressed can't think straight, he cant do that work, can affect the memory, immune system and affect the mood.
Resting adequately will prevent heart diseases and unhealthy weight gain.

Normally,without over emphasizing this, exercise is very important, we've heard this over and over again, regular exercise prevents so many diseases, obesity most importantly,high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.
