People may say that some countries are rich because nature has gifted them with good weather. It is not true. Germany practices water harvesting systems though it had enough rains. When floods come to tropical countries all the water flows down the sea There are no proper water management systems developed by them so they lose water. Plants are the best conservator of water. Professor Nathawat , famous ecologist from Rajathan who is no more now used to tell that the vegetation on the hills of Jaipur region was so dense that once the rain will fall the water will trickle for several days in to small streams.

If you are sad and anxious go to a lake and watch the water coming to shore and going back to lake again in flutters. Water is coming to the shore in the hope that shore will keep it with itself. Shores cant keep the water so it has to go back to where it came. In life also we meet and we depart . None can live for ever only some memories will. Memories associated with gardens flowers lakes last longer. Japanese proverb says Things come in a bundle like happiness and sorrow. If you are having one now the others will follow. The best way to be happy is to live with nature. Nature can make you happy Nature can make you forget your sorrows.

As neither I am doctor nor I have changed the field of study but I am looking for answer for both. Dont accept any of the following unless you take advice from your doctor. However I am presenting general observations. High sodium and sodium ion balance in body is crucial phenomenon. Body pH is maintained constant and sodium plays important role.
Since the prehistoric times when the man learned to make tools from iron he has advanced to make better and better tools. If man has achieved maximum success in one field , its the field of weapons. This has resulted in killing of most of the wild life. Poaching a weapon of tribals to kill tigers, leopards, and even elephants etc in wild life sancturies, has eliminated most of the animals. People dreaded to go to forests as they were of afraid of wild animals. Wild animals were protector of nature and natural habitat. Once we talk of wild life for animals but we dont talk about wild life for plants. Both are interdependent. If we destroy wild life plants will be destroyed by over grazing or by human activity.
