Editor's Profile

Mr. Edwin Low, author of “Stop Your Health from Being Stolen!” is well-known among the Chinese-speaking in Singapore and Taiwan. He has travelled extensively to Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan for the past 5 years sharing his experiences and knowledge on healthy living. As an active health advocate, Edwin has given more than 200 talks in Mandarin and English on various health topics. Edwin is also a yoga instructor and lifestyle coach. He has been teaching in Ananda Marga Yoga Centre for more than 5 years and helped numerous people change their diet and lifestyle in order to lead healthier and more abundant lives. He is currently developing his own website (nutrimaxorganic.com, putting his thoughts and experience together to showcase the healthy lifestyle in an urban environment.

Edwin believes that we should not treat our body like a machine with parts that are taken for granted, easily discarded or replaced. When it comes to the management of health, we should see the being as a whole, and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts! We shall respect and assist the healing power within to bring the body back to its homeostatic balance. In other words, Edwin believes in using natural means, like changing the diet, eating habit, foods and lifestyle to assist the body to achieve optimal health. External and invasive means should be kept to the minimum.

Edwin advocates periodical fasting and detoxification as a way to keep the toxicity in our body at a manageable level. In fact, Edwin fasts regularly, about 7 days every six months to give the body a break for self cleansing and renewal. He coaches clients to fast for as long as 42 days to strengthen the body’s immune system and resistance to chronic and serious conditions.

During the journey of writing his book on health, and having toured Taiwan for the launching of his book there in 2003, he discovered that even with the best food and good eating and sleeping habits, the body still needs good exercises to stay healthy. This underlay his initial impulse to be a Yoga instructor. Later, he also discovered that the root cause of many diseases (especially the chronic and serious ones) is not in the physical body, but rather, could be in the much more complex and deeper mental dimension. His yoga practice originates from Ananda Marga, a global spiritual and social service organization that has presence in more than 200 countries. The teaching is called Rajadhiraja yoga.

Rajadhiraja yoga is a more extensive and comprehensive form of Ashtanga Yoga. It is an all-round systematic and scientific process for the development of the body, of the mind, and of the soul, leading to the total experience of the Infinite – what in yoga is called "self-realization."

Edwin employs the techniques (breath control, stretching, postures, deep relaxation, emotional release, meditation) from this yoga, together with dietary changes, supplementation of certain nutrients to assist the body to achieve its balance soonest.
