Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis or MS is a disease in which the insulation of the nerve cell fibres of the brain and spinal cord are destroyed, causing various disturbances of the central nervous system. Whether the disease is autoimmune or inflammatory is still debated. The word 'sclerosis' means hardening. In this disease, structures like nerve fibres start losing their flexibility and become hard. So is the name multiple sclerosis. Disease usually begins in the first half of life and is more common among women.
Several factors have been under scanner for possibly causing Multiple sclerosis, however none of them has been established as the cause of the disease. Heredity, infections, smoking, alcoholism, mental stress etc. are few such factors whose causal relationship with MS is being studied but not yet established.

- Though no specific cause has been determined in Multiple Sclerosis, persons suffering from it often give history of bad lifestyle, addictions, bad food habits, mental stress or contact with hazardous chemicals etc. Rather than curing the disease, preventing it seems achievable.
- Eating healthy food (mainly vegetarian), maintaining proper food timings and sleep timings, doing regular physician exercises, managing mental stresses properly, avoiding addictions etc. seem to hold the key in this direction.
- Attention should be paid towards the nervous system. Doing Yogasan, Pranayam and meditation prove useful for the health of nervous system. Eating food articles which nourish the nervous system (e.g. almond, walnut etc.) may also prove meaningful.
