Paresh Gada, a resident of Mumbai, turned his life around with the help of the right guidance and motivation. He shared about his health transformation journey with us and how his whole family started following the Satvic Lifestyle.
"Initially, I used to feel cravings for unhealthy food, but now, I have gained a lot more self-control and awareness about what I eat."
Why did you start following the Satvic lifestyle?
Any health problems? Any fitness goals? Around April, a friend of mine had shared a link to Subah's video with me. After watching her videos, I was intrigued by the knowledge provided by her. To learn more, I researched about Satvic Movement and Nature cure on the internet and was impressed by this philosophy. Moreover, both my children had thyroid problems, and wanting to support their health was also a reason our whole family started the Satvic Lifestyle.
What did you start doing? Tell us about your healing journey.
After watching the videos, we immediately started following the diet, doing wet packs and sunbathing. (Satvic Movement note: practices like wet packs and fasting are not for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 14 or anyone severely underweight.) We started drinking fresh ash-gourd juice in the morning and gave up sugar, dairy and oil altogether. When I got to learn about Subah's upcoming workshop in Mumbai, I immediately called and reserved a seat for each of my family member. We attended the workshop in May 2019. One major change that we did after the workshop was to quit milk and milk products completely. We also bought clay pots for cooking.
What are the benefits you received by following the Satvic lifestyle?
I have lost 8 kg in 2 months, I feel much lighter and energetic. And after starting this lifestyle I don't feel any sort of soreness or pain in my body. Moreover, the thyroid levels of both my children are in a good range now.
Have you noticed any mental or spiritual changes? Yes, I have. Initially, I used to feel cravings for unhealthy food, but now I have gained so much self-control and self-awareness about what I eat. I feel mentally more active and aware.
Can you imagine a world without diseases & medicines? A place where everyone lives in sync with nature. What do you picture?
It will be a wonderful world. It will be a place where people will have pure thoughts and will perform pure actions. I think we can make this vision a reality through our hard work and perseverance, we need to support and guide each other to first, rethink the food habits we grew up with and then to learn about the Satvic way of living.
