This is me living my healthy lifestyle :

I would like to start with two facts:

1. Death is inevitable as everyone knows.
   So all of us will die one day, no matter we live healthy or unhealthy, eventually death is the final destination.

1. By living healthy lifestyle we can postpone our death.
   Yes eating spicy food can burn your stomach walls and result in esophagus irritation which will result in decreasing your life span. Your body not moving enough can make your blood flow slower resulting in diseases and early death.

But when death has to come, it will, no matter how much yoga you do, how many fruits you eat. Nothing you do would help, healthy - unhealthy, none of the lifestyle would work.

Let me tell you my weird story of recent sickness, also the first ever sickness series of my body.

I am a 25 years old female from India. I am very health conscious, I have been doing yoga since 8 years. I make sure I eat one fruit everyday, I keep moving, I bathe two times a day. I do everything that can be summed up as a habit of Healthy lifestyle. I avoid junkfood everyday, I do it only in style 'Pizza in a party' or whenever I am out or with friends.

One normal day, in october 2018, I went on a restaurant hunt in a very famous market Bani-square here in Gurgaon, India. That particular day, I ate from 4 restaurants in total including everything from snack to desert. At the end of that day, I ate some 30 grilled mushrooms. I am non allergic to mushrooms and have been eating them since I was a child. So I am not sure if I should blame mushrooms for spoiling my body, my life after that day.

Next day, I felt my throat is sore. After couple of days, I developed a cough. Being the strong healthy person that I was, I did not take the cough seriously. It went on for a week and then I started having trouble breathing while laying down. As the condition worsened, I went to a doctor and got to know I have Bronchitis.

Well Ok, it really hit my mental strength, since I used to consider myself an epitome of good health.

Then after recovering from Bronchitis, I got GERD with very bad heartache. Acid would flow up no matter what I eat. I went to chest specialist and got ant-acid pills. Since I was and I am a total anti-medicine person, I could not go on pills forever and made some lifestyle adjustments - A heavy green meal a day to neutralize my PH levels.

Christmas came and just when I was winning over GERD, I got a skin disease - really bad one, ugly patches on body. And this made me laugh sarcastically on myself since I am a super conscious person when it comes to skincare.

And while fighting the skin disease I snapped my neck one day and got Neck spondylitis. It is till this day, I am fighting acid reflux and weak nerves of my body.

I can stand in front of mirror and laugh at myself today because of my story above. No matter how much you do, what healthy habits you include, scientifically they are supposed to help you. But when something has to happen to you, it will and you will have no power to stop it.

Your stars will mess you up.

What I believe is, we are not living healthy to avoid or postpone death. We are living healthy because we are scared, scared of dying, scared of disease and scared of looking ugly/obese.
