“I have a cold, I should see a doctor”, “My left leg aches during the night, I should see a doctor”, “My left eye’s vision is blurred, I should see a doctor”….. the occasions might be different, but every time we feel we are going down with some or the other illness, it’s the Doctor we run to see!
But who’s seeing to the doctors?!
In a study conducted by the IMA’s(Indian Medical Association)Pune Chapter, it was found that the Indian doctors life span is only 55-59 years of age! An astounding 10 years less than the average life span of the general population in India! So what’s killing our doctors?
A sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise, work pressure and stress are the culprits! Doctors, these days are found working long hours often juggling their own clinics along with their duties at hospitals. These balancing acts is creating stress and putting them under pressure, add a sedentary lifestyle to the mix and what you have is a potent recipe for disaster! A sedentary lifestyle is responsible for obesity and heart ailments amongst other things, a fact verified by statistics which single out cardiac arrest as the number one factor for causing deaths amongst Indian doctors.
Lack of activity compounded by a lack of exercise is leading to an alarming rise in the number of Indian doctors found suffering from various ailments. So the next time you visit your doctor for a health check up, ask him to get one for himself too!

So you have been working hard in the gym, sweating it out religiously. But still you are not able to achieve the desired results! Those few nasty pounds just refuse to take leave, leaving you thoroughly confused about what you are doing wrong?
Sometimes achieving desired results becomes difficult, inspite of a good exercise regime and a balanced diet, leaving you wondering as to what more should be done. The answer lies in rewinding back to your diet! Did you know that what you eat immediately after the workout matters too? While many of us are under the impression that during a workout we burn those extra calories, we are free to pig out on food later on!
What you eat after your work out is very important, eating foods low in carbohydrates are known to maximize health benefits. Most of the metabolic benefits, the body derives are from its latest workout rather than its regular fitness regime! Avoiding carbohydrates after a workout is known to enhance the insulin sensitivity of the body, and increased insulin sensitivity aids the body in absorbing sugar from the bloodstream and storing it for later use.
So the next time after a workout you get those hunger pangs, don’t avoid them, just avoid the carbohydrates! To know more, click here….
With breakfasts in Suburban India being relegated to the easy and quick Cornflakes, Toasts and eggs, breakfast sure has lost its nutritional edge!
Lack of time is cited as the primary reason as to why we are avoiding the traditional Indian breakfasts. But what most of us don’t realize is that many Indian breakfasts can be prepared within a time frame of 5-10 minutes! Plus there is no denying the high nutritional value of Upma, Sheera, phalaahar, Ragi porridge etc which contain high levels of proteins, iron, carbohydrates and necessary vitamins, needed by the body.
An old adage goes, “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper“ citing the importance of breakfast as the first meal of the day and with nutritional experts world over agreeing that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it’s high time we do justice to our bodies first meal of the day!

When innocence, curiosity and the simple joys of young lives are replaced by stress, depression and other negative factors alike, what you are left with is a spate of suicides, with no end in view!
The recent ‘Epidemic’ of student suicides has hit the city with more force than a Tsunami! An alarming rise in the number of stress related suicide cases amongst young students all over the country has given rise to some very pertinent questions. Questions such as ‘Who is responsible for this fatal stress build up in students? The parents or the education system?, ‘Is it high time that the education system itself is revamped?’, ‘Are movies like 3 idiots really responsible for such suicides?’ etc…
Given the emphasis on the rote learning nature of our education system, many students are simply unable to cope up. However the ‘No Mercy’ mindset adopted by the parents and society alike towards academic failure has done nothing but add to the ever increasing mountain of stress for the students.
This stress coupled with the depression of not being able to meet the heightened expectations of parents, peers and themselves too, many students are giving up! Young minds which are not conditioned to deal with such stress and depression are bound to break down, the result of which is for all of us to see.
Exploring the views of those directly affected, a leading daily conducted a survey which reported that while 71% of the student community blamed pressure and competition, 62% blamed parental expectation and pressure, surprisingly 27 %, a very small percentage of those interviewed found the education system alone to be at fault. A mere 3% agreed with movies being the reason behind these suicides!

How to make a couch potato.
Take potato Chips add long hours of Cable TV, throw in a Couch and what you get is a well rounded Couch potato!!
Couch potatoes have been in existence for a long time now. Through the decades we have often heard our mothers use the saying ‘Turn off that TV or you’ll turn into a couch potato!’ to good use, every time we have been found lazing in front of the TV. And now with the recent reports indicating that too much TV can rocket our risk of death by almost 46%, we see the ugly truth behind the terminology ‘Couch Potato’
Many long hours spent viewing TV can lead to disastrous effects on our body, yet we are still just waking up to the actual harm caused by it!
A recent article in a leading daily had this to say about the topic, every hour in front of the TV was associated with an 11% increased risk of death from all causes, a 9% higher risk of cancer death, and an 18% increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) related death.
Now you do the math. And kindly turn that TV off while you are doing it, wouldn’t want you turning into a ‘Couch Potato’.
