New Delhi, February 7 (IANS). In the Unani system of medicine, air is not just seen as a means of breathing, but is directly linked to the balance and health of our body. Every season has its own qualities. Some are hot, some cold, some moist and some dry, and these qualities affect our body. If we change our habits, way of wearing clothes, food and exercise according to the season, then we can avoid diseases to a great extent and remain healthy.
In fact, the Unani system teaches us that health is not achieved only by medicines, but by the coordination of our lifestyle and environment. If we adjust our eating habits, clothes and exercise according to the changes in weather and the quality of air, then prevention of diseases becomes easier.
The air is cold and dry in winter. According to Unani scholars, cold and dryness can quickly affect the body at this time. In such a situation, we should wear warm clothes, eat lukewarm food and not stay in cold air for too long. Apart from this, light exercise should be done so that body heat is maintained and blood flow remains proper. Similarly, in summer the air is hot and sometimes humid. In this season the body gets more tired and sweats quickly. Therefore, wear light and airy clothes, drink plenty of water and avoid eating too heavy food.
Not only this, clean and fresh air has great importance in Unani medicine. Most diseases are related to the air of polluted or closed places. Therefore, staying in crowded or poorly ventilated places for a long time can be harmful. If you keep your home and workplace well ventilated, plant trees and spend time outside to get fresh air, both body and mind will remain refreshed.
It is also very important to change your daily routine according to the season. As the air remains moist during the rainy season, moisture in the body can increase more. In such a situation, avoid heavy and oily food and do light exercise. Similarly, in autumn the air is a bit cold and dry, so to keep the body hydrated, drink more water and avoid dry things.
