Abstract

The crisis of the Covid-19 that we are currently experiencing has been a huge turning point in the life of many of us, but will certainly bring a radical turn in our lives. In broad sense; dimensions of health/disease can be described as; biological, socioeconomic, environmental, cultural, political. While majority of the above dimensions are being studied around the world, some of the less mentioned determinants are; Planets and disease (Astrology), role of Integrative Medicine that mainly focuses on behavior modification and prevention of diseases, role of Alkaline diet to boost immune system, role of life style modification viz; Physical fitness, importance of Sleep, Positive Mind as a major part of spiritual awakening. The current article through light on some of these less talked dimensions. It shall need an integration of various approaches; pharmacological and non- pharmacological and a lot of community participation (more of a community level fight) at community level mostly related to health promotion and specific protection (life style modification and adaptation) so that patients coming to the hospital are reduced so that hospitals are not strained.
