Vital Power- A Divine Gift

Human life is a highly intelligent and complex system for survival in any adverse situations.  There is an infinite ongoing process of healing taking place in order to transform every cell in our bodies. It is really bewildering as to how this creative intelligence is working within us to impart perfect health and happiness. 

In the medical parlance, it is the immune system which has an amazing fighting spirit to protect us from any harmful external attack. This immune system is a vast network of cellular circuits composed of white cells, molecules, enzymes and vital organs, all working in tandem. 

It is important to note that the strength and power of the immune system is developed from one's disciplined lifestyle, intake of balanced nutritious diet, perfect rest and relaxation with physical exercise. 

Medical science is now realizing and accepting that brain mind nexus influences the immune system. It has been accepted that a positive mind can strengthen the immune system. Thus an optimistic attitude is of great importance to fight out a disease. 

Since the present dreadful viral disease has no preventing vaccine nor any specific drug, it is of great importance to prevent it from spreading. 

In this regard all preventive actions like quarantine and complete lockdown in the whole country has been taken. 

But care needs to be taken with regards to wrong and negative messages to people. This will create panic leading to anxiety and nervousness. This in turn will depress the immune system resulting in more suffering.
