Kingpin of Wellness

Living requires courage to adopt to the demands of time and everyday is heralded, as a new dawn holding hope and a new promise for us. When you want to make the most of it, every moment gives a new chance, this is how every day we are reminded the meaning of survivor.
Unnecessary interventions with land, water and air, tension of high-tech life and material driven life style has left us in a planet where millions have heart attack every year and death is the first symptom for at least half of them. It is not possible to determine the heart attack risk correctly because our susceptibility differs. Statistics goes to reveal that men have the risk more than women and so the body bulk.
Controlling the risk factors for heart diseases is a complete life style project and a full time job. You have to appreciate diet, exercise and emotional management to make all this sustainable for life time. High technology tools are lifesaving and medical science is advancing everyday scattering new hopes from stuns, balloons, artery graft to capsules and magic bullets but real management of risk factor is definitely a more valuable investment of our life. Following things should be incorporated in our living:-
1. Avoid emotional and physical stress by a simplified and slow life style and relieve these pressures if they occur by practicing the art of meditation and technique of silent observation.
2. Sweat and stress muscles and drain of energy stores to increase the cytokines level. Daily aerobic is very good for heart. All these things overwhelm the decay factors and plaque accumulators of the arteries and veins. Exercise enough to sweat daily turns our life around. It is the single most important change we can ever make, and a leap towards real wellness.
3. Eating less then hunger, closing the last meal of the day early up to 8.00 pm and going nuts as well as fruit salads goes to help in multiple ways.
4. Taking care of waistline to manage metabolic syndrome and keeping it in between 80 to 90 cm. depending on weight and height is also very important.
