Studying dietary practice and lifestyle of Mongolian monks. The research is supported by Zuun Khuree Dashichoiling Monastery. We used historical classification, conclusion and review listing methods, analysis, integration, methods of evidential documents and linguistic study in order to conduct the research. Venerable monks were head educators in social life and example of healthy life by fasting and prohibiting meal after dusk. The five elements of human body and evolution three elements were continuously changed in order to adapt environmental and climate changes. Monks used to manage their diet by knowing accumulation, activation and pacification of elements and six seasons. They live long with clear minds free from senility, opaqueness, which directly related to their proper diet and intellectual exercises. Aging is not obsolescence but a normal phenomenon of healthy body. In theory of the traditional medicine, biological age of may be related to the percentage of wind, bile and phlegm. It is possible to prevent and heal diseases through proper use of diet by coordinating with body features, age requirements and seasonal differences. By combining theory of traditional medicine and right lifestyle, there are ways for creating new preventive treatment methods.

The Real

David McNally styles this book as beginning in a polemic and ending in a “materialist approach to language” much indebted to the German critic Walter Benjamin. The charge is that “postmodernist theory, whether it calls itself poststructuralism, deconstruction or post-Marxism, is constituted by a radical attempt to banish the real human body—the sensate, biocultural, laboring body—from the sphere of language and social life” (p. 1). By treating language as an abstraction, McNally argues, postmodernism constitutes a form of idealism. More than that, it succumbs to and perpetuates the fetishism of commodities disclosed by Marx insofar as it treats the products of human laboring bodies as entities independently of them. Clearly irritated by the claims to radicalism made by those he labels postmodern, McNally thinks he has found their Achilles' heel: “The extra-discursive body, the body that exceeds language and discourse, is the ‘other’ of the new idealism, the entity it seeks to efface in order to bestow absolute sovereignty on language. To acknowledge the centrality of the sensate body to language and society is thus to threaten the whole edifice of postmodernist theory” (p. 2).

That is why in Ayurveda it is considered that healthy nutrition nourishes the body, mind and soul, through which a person can afford to perform all the activities which lead to happiness, heaven and salvation. But without knowing the proper dietary guidelines one cannot gain adequate nutrition and hence optimum benefits from the food. That is why it is important to awake people about the importance of dietary discipline. Otherwise from the beginning, it has to be seen that the dietary unconcern comprises the susceptibility to several diseases. Hence in Ayurveda, there are many guidelines related to diet and its contents are given which govern the adequate nutritional profile for a healthy life. Such diet line provisions are more precisely prescribed in Charka Samhita Vimana Sthana called the Ahara Vidhi Vidhana.

This paper aims to trace M. Saleh Lahade's notion on the concept of rural development in South Sulawesi in the 1950s. Used historical method which includes several phases, namely: heuristics, criticism, interpretation and historiography. The result reveals the fact that M. Saleh Lahade's ideas were based on the physical environment and severe human settlement were damaged, the stagnation of the economy and the occurrence of stagnation in social life as a result of prolonged armed conflict. The concepts offered are based on falsafah and local wisdom that has long been developed, such as the spirit to act when finding something that is broken, the spirit of never giving up, the spirit of honesty, the spirit of independence (to maradeka), and the spirit of building harmony in people's lives. To develop his ideas M. Saleh Lahade used the concept of cluster units. Through this approach, rural service units are built in one mini cluster to create effectiveness and efficiency in public services. In addition, it also encourages the creation of a better physical and social environment, a more secure public health, and faster economic wheels.

This chapter reports on minimum reference budgets for Danish families. It discusses the first versions of the Danish minimum reference budgets that were produced in the 1990s and followed the Low Cost but Acceptable (LCA) approach. It also explains the Danish reference budgets that represent consumption expenditures associated with a modest but still healthy and basic social life for different families and households. The chapter looks into the deliberations of expert groups in order to define the necessary requirements for living a modest but still healthy life, and reference budgets that cover ten different family or household groups. It compares the Danish reference budgets against the Norwegian reference budgets as both follow similar expert-led procedures.

The aim of the paper is to present the cult of St. Roch in the context of the role of a patron protecting against diseases, traditionally assigned to him. First the person of St. Roch is characterized, then the qualities of folk medicine are presented, and finally, the traditional ways of preventing and treating some illnesses are shown. Nowadays, knowledge about that seems very important in upbringing and should be transmitted and cherished not only as the testimony of life and struggle with problems of previous generations, but first of all because of the values inherent to folk culture and traditional medicine, such as unlimited patient care, serving the suffering and staying at the margin of social life

This report examines how social geography engages with nonhuman subjects; in this case, bugs. The report focuses on how social geography is rethinking its core concepts of difference and inequality through scholarship that examines the relations between bugs and human inequality, bug management and molecular intervention on/in bugs, and the biosocial relations bugs help forge. It does so while opening up what bugs – not just insects, but also a wider range of bugs, such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites operating within and beyond the human body – offer to our theorization and examination of everyday social life.

Technologies for enhancement of the human body historically have taken the form of an apparatus: a technological device inserted in, or appended to, the human body. The margins of these devices were clearly discernible and materially circumscribed, allowing the distinction between the corporeality of the human body and the “machine” to remain both ontologically and materially secure. This dualism has performed some important work for human rights theorists, regulators, and policy makers, enabling each to imagine they can establish where the human ends and the other begins. New regenerative products such as Infuse™ and Amplify™ subsist, as animal-derived scaffolds seeded with growth hormone implanted within a prosthetic device. They are much more materially complex, and their identities thus remain open to contestation. Following Lochlann Jain’s 2006 work, I thus attend closely to their social lives, particularly the stories that are told about them and how these are employed to construct understandings of what kind of a phenomenon they are: systemic drug, biologic, or combinatorial medical device. The significance of this classificatory project is revealed in the final section of this paper, which explores how these stories shape understandings of “product failure,” liability, and causation when such products overflow their material and ontological categorization and their recipients become disturbingly “more than human.”

the human body is a tool that capable of understanding and then reveal various problems that exist in the social life. Body as tool means a body that has a technique or as technology that is able to express the problem. if the body has been positioned as a tool, of course the tool must have a technique that has been honed its ability. For example fall-recovery’s technique which is discovered by dorris Humphrey. then to get to the technique, the body must get treatment, conditioning and emphasis through strict discipline. ultimately the techniques that make the body into technology will be constructed through body behavior which is doing by long exercises and method from the right technique.
