The modern lifestyle has made our life more sedent than ever, and falls ill almost indispensable. But is it complicated to stay really healthy? According to the spiritual leader SadhaguruThe answer lies in returning to the basics. He strongly believes that about 90% of health issues can be stopped or reversed with only two simple, daily practices – something accessible to almost all.
The sage’s approach here is to prevent diseases.
Use body every day
Sadhguru emphasizes a simple truth: “The more the body is used, the better.” In today’s comfortable world, the physical movement has decreased significantly. But lack of activity, they say, is a major reason behind growing health issues. Just a few centuries ago, daily life included a long distance, lifting, climbing and physically entangled with the world. Today, chairs, screens and vehicles have captured.
Sadhguru shares an example of army personnel running 20โ30 km a day – something they do as a duty. Nevertheless, this much effort inadvertently keeps them fit and energetic. Movement is not a punishment; This is the natural way of the body. Regular using the body, walking, stretching, climbing stairs, or even through household chores, activates every system in the body and helps it in self-healing.
He goes on saying that if the body is used properly and continuously, 80% of diseases can disappear. Intensive gym not through routine but through Daily movement,
Eat the right kind of food
The second column in the health philosophy of Sadhguru is food – not only what is eaten, but how and when. According to him, 10% of diseases stems directly from wrong eating habits. More food, processed foods, food without appetite, and unnatural food combinations cause poisoning and imbalance in the system.
Sadhguru recommends seasonal, local, plants-based foods which are light and nutritious. He encourages eating consciously and in alignment with natural cycles of the body. When the food is wisely chosen, the digestion becomes smooth, the energy levels increase, and the inflammation decreases-propounded to decomplete health.
This does not mean lack. This means food to support life, not just to satisfy the taste buds.
Balance of body, mind and energy is true health
True health, Sadhaguru explains, not only about physical fitness. It is about harmony between body, mind and someone’s energy system. When the physical movement becomes a part of daily life and food is wisely handled, both these functions begin to align internal systems.
Even simple mental or breath-based practices such as still for a few minutes, deep breathing, or chanting and energy can stimulate the body. When these three columns are used- the body, mind, and Prana (life energy)-human system acts like a well-oil machine.

For a person targeting visible weight loss, walking between 5 to 7 kilometers daily works well. It is about 7,000 to 10,000 steps – a number that is often recommended by fitness experts worldwide.
Health is not a luxury; This is the natural state of life
Sadhguru says, “Health is the way of life.” The disease is not something that attacks from outside. In most cases, it is made internally due to balance, awareness and lack of natural rhythm. When life is allowed to be in full flow, health is a natural result.
According to him, health is not a medical concept. It is completely a by -appeal to the functioning of life. Medical systems have gained prominence because the lifestyle has gone away from natural life. But it is still possible to reverse it. Bringing back the movement, conscious food and mental clarity helps the body to become self-affidavit.
Even 10% of diseases can be better managed
Sadhguru admits that all diseases cannot be prevented with a change in lifestyle. Some diseases are caused by karma, environmental, or complex factors. But once 90% of the burden is cleaned by lifestyle reforms, the remaining 10% becomes very easy to handle by individuals and health care systems.
