Yeh baat un logon ke baare mein hai jo retire ho jaate hain. Pehle unki active life hoti hai, phir woh passive life mein aa jaate hain. Kaam bilkul kam ho jaata hai, poora din ghar par baithay rehte hain. Zyada se zyada agar mard retire hua ho to uski begum usko ek tokri pakra deti hai ke jao bazaar se sabzi ya kuch samaan le aao. Lekin yeh kaafi activity nahi hoti.
Iska nateeja kya hota hai? Maine dekha hai ke jo log retire ho jaate hain, woh beemar padna shuru ho jaate hain. Kabhi ek bimaari, kabhi doosri bimaari. Dheere dheere unki zindagi jaise khatam honi shuru ho jaati hai. Bahut se nuksaan hone lagte hain — osteoporosis ho jaata hai, jodon ka dard shuru ho jaata hai. Aur agar kuch aur na bhi ho to diabetes ho jaati hai, kyunki baithay rehne se aadmi kuch na kuch khaata rehta hai, wazan badhta hai, to sugar ke chances badh jaate hain. Blood pressure high hone ke bhi chances hote hain.
Ab aap dekhiye, zindagi ki definition kya hai? Harkat.
Agar aap harkat nahi karte, to iska matlab hai aap zindagi nahi jee rahe.
Ek aur quote hai: budhapa kab shuru hota hai?
Iska jawab yeh hai ke budhapa us din shuru ho jaata hai jis din aap harkat karna band kar dete hain. Chahe aap ki umar 20 saal hi kyun na ho. Jab aap ne movement band kar di, to body ki activity, andar ka metabolism, sab slow ho jaata hai. Matlab budhapa aa gaya.
Yeh yaad rakhein, jo log poora din baithay rehte hain, woh budhe ho chuke hote hain. Chahe unko achha lage ya bura, lekin sach yahi hai. Agar budhape se bachna hai, to jitna zyada aap apne aap ko active rakhenge, utna hi budhapa delay hota chala jaayega.
Bilkul theek.
Ab doctor sahab, ek aur baat batayein: jo hamare senior citizens hain, khaaskar 50 plus log, unki haddiyon mein waise hi kaafi dard hota hai. Aur unka sabse bada darr yeh hota hai ke kahin gir na jaayen, kahin fracture na ho jaaye.
Bas khauf sirf isi baat ka hota hai ke kahin yeh gir na jaayein, kahin fracture na ho jaaye. Inka lifestyle theek nahi hota.
Jaise main ek aur cheez notice karta hoon — boodhon ki baat to door rahi, aap chhote bachchon ko hi dekh lijiye. Aaj-kal doodh peene ka rivaaj hi khatam hota ja raha hai. Ab jab aap woh cheezein hi nahi le rahe jin mein calcium aur vitamin D hota hai, to kya hoga? Body mein calcium aur vitamin D ki kami ho jaayegi.
Ek aur ghalat rivaaj yeh ho gaya hai ke dhoop lena bilkul band kar diya hai. Sun exposure na lene se bhi bimaariyan paida hoti hain. Phir chalna-phirna bhi kam ho gaya hai.
Jaise kehte hain na, agar aap sair nahi karte, to kya hota hai? Ek quotation hai:
“Jis mulk ke hospitals veeran hote hain, wahan ke parks abaad hote hain.”
Aur iska ulta bhi sach hai: “Jahan parks abaad hote hain sair ke liye, wahan hospitals veeran ho jaate hain.”
Sair karne se bimaariyan khud-ba-khud kam ho jaati hain. Is liye harkat karna bohot zaroori hai.
Medically hum kehte hain ke ek sehatmand aadmi ko kam az kam rozana 3 kilometer walk karni chahiye. Aaj-kal to smart ghariyan bhi aa gayi hain. Aap ghari pehn lijiye jo steps count karti hai, to aapko khud pata chal jaayega ke aapne 3 kilometer ke qareeb walk ki hai ya nahi.
Chahe aap office mein walk karein, chahe bahar, jahan marzi karein — lekin har haal mein active rehna zaroori hai.
Ek martaba ek bohot ameer aadmi aaye. Unhon ne kaha:
“Main bohot sakht beemar ho gaya hoon, mera jigar bhi theek kaam nahi kar raha. Mujhe koi advice dijiye, main zyada se zyada zinda rehna chahta hoon.”
Is par doctors ka ek poora board tha. Unhon ne kaha:
“Agar aap zyada se zyada zinda rehna chahte hain, to harkat karein. Nokron se kaam lena band karein, apna kaam khud karein.”
Is mauqe par main aapko ek interesting baat batata hoon. Duniya mein sab se zyada lambi umar ke log jo hain, woh Japan ke ek island Okinawa mein rehte hain.
Is island ki khaas baat yeh hai ke wahan board laga hota hai:
“Is island mein 100 saal se kam umar walon ka entry mana hai.”
Wahan sab log 100 saal se zyada umar ke hote hain. Agar koi 50 saal ka aadmi wahan ja kar kahe ke “mujhe yahan rent par kamra chahiye”, to woh kehte hain:
“Aap 50 saal baad aaiyega, abhi aap eligible nahi hain.”
Is liye bahar log is island ko ‘Island of Immortals’ bhi kehte hain.
Yani us jagah ko “Island of Immortals” bhi kaha jata hai, ya “Lambani logon ka jazira”. Wahan likha hua hai ke 100 saal se kam umar walon ke liye maut ka entry mana hai, kyun ke wahan 100 saal se kam umar ka koi banda hota hi nahi.
Ab un logon mein kya cheez dekhi gayi? Woh kehte hain ke hamare paas koi mulazim nahi hote, hum khud apna kaam khud karte hain. Is liye khud harkat mein rehna, active rehna bohot zaroori hai.
Phir unki ek aur zabardast baat yeh hai ke hum log yahan chhoti chhoti baaton par pareshan ho jate hain. Woh kehte hain ke chhoti baat par pareshan kyun hona? Doosron ki baaton ko mind kyun karna? Hum bohot zyada mind karte hain.
Woh kehte hain ke agar koi ghalat baat kare to ghalti kis ki hai? Doosre bande ki. Phir sharminda bhi wahi hona chahiye jis ne ghalat baat ki. Aap kyun mind karte ho?
Is silsile mein ek bohot khoobsurat misaal hai. Main ne yeh baat ek aadmi se suni. Us ne kaha, “Main aap ko Mahatma Buddha ka ek waqia sunata hoon.”
Us ne bataya ke Mahatma Buddha baithay hue thay. Ek aadmi jo unhein pasand nahi karta tha, aaya aur unhein gaaliyan dena shuru kar di. Buddha chup chap baith kar sunte rahe. Jab us aadmi ki gaaliyan khatam ho gayin aur woh chup ho gaya, to Buddha ne use bulaya aur kaha:
“Main tum se sirf ek sawal poochta hoon. Agar main tumhein koi cheez doon aur tum woh cheez lo hi na, to woh cheez kis ki hui?”
Us ne kaha, “Aap ki.”
Buddha ne kaha, “Isi tarah tum ne mujhe jitni gaaliyan di hain, main ne unhein liya hi nahi. To phir woh kis ki hui?”
Baat yeh hai ke hum mind kar lete hain. Agar koi ghalat baat kare, to ek baat note karo: chhoti si ghalat baat sirf ek minute ki hoti hai, lekin hum poora din usi baat ko apne dimaag mein ghumate rehte hain.
Socho, ek minute ka ghalat kaam to doosre bande ne kiya, lekin poora din dimaag mein us baat ko ghumane ka kaam kaun kar raha hai? Woh to hum khud kar rahe hote hain.
Example ke taur par, ek banda office ja raha hota hai. Office jate waqt us ki wife us se koi baat keh deti hai. Woh sirf ek minute ki baat hoti hai, chahe ghalat ho ya sahi. Lekin kya hota hai? Banda poora din office mein baith kar wahi baat sochta rehta hai: “Wife ko ehsaas nahi, nikalte waqt aisi baat keh di, demand kar di.”
Us ne us baat ko mind kar liya aur poora din apne dimaag mein ghumata raha.
Agar hum sochne ka andaaz thoda sa badal lein, jaise: “Woh meri wife hai, agar woh mujh se baat nahi karegi to phir kis se karegi?”
Is soch se dimaag halka ho jata hai, irritation khatam ho jati hai, stress nahi hota, aur aadmi theek rehta hai.
Asal baat yeh hai ke sochne ka tareeqa bohot aham hota hai. Ghalat soch bohot si bimaariyon ki wajah ban jati hai.
