Dheeraj Mishra was suffering from excess weight and high blood pressure. After he adopted the Satvic lifestyle, he lost 10 kg in his first month and saw his blood pressure readings improve.
"Just after a month of following the Satvic Lifestyle, I felt great changes in my overall health. My weight came down to 96 kg from 106 kg, and it is still coming down."
Why did you start following the Satvic lifestyle?
Around 6 years ago, I started gaining weight, I had gained so much weight in such a short period of time, that I was put under the category of Obese. I was more than 100 kg. And, along with excess weight came diseases like high blood pressure, for which I was taking high doses of medicines regularly. My health was poor enough that my doctor advised me to avoid strenuous exercise like the gym and sports. But, I knew I had to lose weight and get back to my fit self. I tried everything; gym, dieting, fasting but nothing seemed to work. After watching Subah's videos, I felt motivated and instantly followed her advice and incorporated some changes in my daily life. The results I experienced were so quick and apparent that I decided to attend Subah's workshop.
What did you start doing? Tell us about your healing journey.
The Health Transformation Workshop changed my life. The knowledge Subah shared in the workshop had a very deep impact on my mind and my complete understanding of food and health. Inspired, I started following the Satvic Lifestyle from the very next day. I did intermittent fasting, drank Ash-gourd juice, ate satvic food and read the given books and plans.
What are the benefits you received after following the Satvic lifestyle?
Just after a month of following the satvic lifestyle, I experienced great changes in my overall health. My weight came down to 96 kg from 106 kg, and it is still coming down. My blood pressure readings are in a better range now, and I have much more mental clarity and peace. And to achieve this state of health, I did not make any major change in my life or starved my self or spent hours in the gym. The mantra for a healthy body and a happy mind is simple, eat good wholesome food and keep your mind and spirit at peace.
Apart from the physical changes, have you noticed any mental or spiritual changes?
As I mentioned earlier, my mental clarity has increased and I feel more energetic. My whole family, especially my wife is really happy, as I don't get irritated or angry over small matters now. Eating healthy and life-giving food has changed the way I perceive everything. Now, I see only goodness and positivity in everybody, and that makes me stay happy and stress-free all the time.
Can you imagine a world without diseases & medicines? A place everyone lives in sync with nature. What do you picture?
Yes, after gaining the Satvic knowledge and seeing my own health change, I can imagine a world with far less disease. And, this world is only possible, if all of us start living a natural life. To make this world a reality, all of us have to become conscious about what we eat and how we live.
