Long ago, there was an elderly person named Shankar in a village. His age was above eighty years but he seemed to be healthier than a forty-year-old man.
People often want to know the secret of her health but she never speaks anything. One day Raja came to know about him and he was also eager to know the secret of his health.
The king asked his detectives to keep an eye on Shankar. Changed the detective and started tracking it.
The next day they saw that Shankar was getting up in the morning and going somewhere, they also followed him. Shankar was walking fast, after walking miles, he started climbing a hill and suddenly disappeared from the eyes of the detectives.
The detective stopped waiting for him.
After some time he returned, he had kept some small fruits in his hand and he was going to eat. Detectives guessed that yes, Shankar is so healthy eating these mysterious fruits.
The next day in the court, he told the king all things.
The king ordered that hill to go and find those fruits but did not show any such extraordinary fruit even after doing a lot of research.
Ultimately, tired and defeated, King Shankar was ordered to appear in the court.
Raja – Shankar, in this age we are happy to see such a good health, tell me, what is the secret of your health?
Shankar kept thinking for a while and then said, “Maharaj, I go to the hill everyday and eat a mysterious fruit, that is the secret of my health. ”
Okay let’s take us there too and show what is that fruit.
When all the people walked towards the hill, Shankar took them to a berry tree and showed them fruits and said, “Hujoor, this is the fruit that I eat everyday. ”
When the king was angry, he said, “You think us fools, this fruit consumes thousands of people every day, but why are not you all healthy?”
Shankar said softly, “Maharaj, the fruit that thousands of people eat every day is the fruit of plum, but the fruits which I eat are not the fruit of berry … it is the fruit of my hard work. To eat it, I walk 10 miles a day, which makes my body good and the morning clean air serves her for herbs. That’s the secret of my health. ”
King Shankar had understood the point, he honored Shankar with golden muds. And also commanded his subjects to do physical labor.
Friends, today technology has made our life very easy, first we had to get out of the house for small things, but today we do all the work while sitting and sitting in the house through internet. In such a situation, the slightest physical activity opportunities are also being eliminated, and its effect can also be clearly seen on our health. According to the WHO, 35% of people over 20 years of age are overweight in the world and 11% are obese. It is important that we take care of our health and give importance to physical labor in everyday life.
