"The more you are in contact with nature you will be less prone to diseases. It depends on your daily schedule and lifestyle. What you eat and what you do also defines your health. If we talk about old days brahmans use to eat desserts like Kheer, Gulab Jamun in bulk. Still they didn’t have any diabetic problem. The reason is they use to do several exercises."
