EVERLASTING YOUTH To remain young forever. Having a disease-free healthy body - healthy physically and mentally is the need of the hour. In this age of environmental pollution, people are getting old before the arrival of their due age. The digestive system in a body which supplies the necessary substances for the maintenance of the body, after processing the input & consumed food materials, are blended with chemical fertilizers, insecticides & pesticides. It is not possible for the mostly chemically grown and protected food materials alone to keep humanity healthy. The use of widely grown weeds & natural plants are vitally essential in the maintenance and youthfulness of the human body. There are many greens, mostly weeds that are not yet known for their daily nutritional use in the survival of the body. While the grains, seeds, flowers, leaves, stems and roots of a few plants are known to humanity, there are many plants which are called weeds, that remain still unknown in their usefulness, a mystery, discarded everywhere as a burden. Why so, because of the Universal ignorance? Ignorance has no medicines for it’s cure or prevention, and it can’t be understood. Ignorance can only be realized in the inner self and every individual being should aspire for its transformation. It is generally stated that ignorance is bliss, which I believe is an eternal truth, because, after ignorance there is only knowledge. Nothing else, like the rays of light after darkness, but off course, it depends how long one wishes to remain submerged in the bliss of ignorance before the light of knowledge becomes the last resort on the path of the eternal journey. The digestive system of the body is an important part of its structure. A body can survive without one or more of its parts but it can’t without the digestive system.

The human brain shouldn’t be used only for the invention of new sophisticated machines. It should be used with the same intensity in conservation and identification of the natural world and its utilization to the full extent, the usefulness of wild plants in the preservation of it’s youthfulness. There is nothing more desirable in any body system than the desire to obtain “Everlasting youth”, though this has been mostly in humanity’s subconscient. Let humanity bring forward, - to the surface, the real aim of every body, collectively. No wealth can be compared to the satisfaction of “Everlasting youth”. No qualification or education can be compared to the satisfactions of the practices of the procedure of “Everlasting youth”. Living forever without death is the true aspiration of every living being or living form upon this Universe. Page - 61 Citrullus colocynthis (Linn.) Schrader Of the family Cucurbitaceae.
