PLEASE LOVE YOUR HEART

Few days ago while I was working in the office just as any other routine working day, I heard a sudden cry. I turned around in the direction of the sound and saw my colleague weeping at some distance in her cubicle. Her face was all red, it looked as if she was shedding tears in some deep pain, and she could hardly speak anything as her voice was choking in distress. The whole work bay went into an unknown silent-mode. Everyone was confused and curious at the same time, but no one knew what has just happened. While I started heading towards her, couple of her girl-friends surrounded and started asking her- What happened? What happened? I took a glass of water while moving towards her and till the time I reached her desk, she had only uttered very few words in her low weeping voice that no one had understood. I gave her the glass of water, she drank a sip or two and then said- “my mother died”!! She again started crying in deep pain of loss of her mother.

Before anyone could ask her anything, we took her outside of the office work area and then called back from her cell-phone to her relatives. We found out that her family was having the tea at about 4pm in the evening and all of a sudden her mother had cardiac arrest and within 10 minutes of it, she died. My colleague left the office for the airport along with one of her friend, but all of us went into a state of shock. Whole day, I was really upset of what I had witnessed. I got to know that her mother was in her mid 40’s and she had never complained about any heart disease in her whole life, but all of a sudden she was gone. I felt really scared about the death and I was shocked by the fact that- how the heart-attack can suddenly take away a human life? I became worried if something like this has happened to me, what if instead of her mother it would have been mine? Even a small thought of it was making my blood cold and turning my face pale. I started searching the internet in the desperation of knowing everything about the heart diseases, and I found- billionheartsbeating.

KEEP HEALTHY, EAT HEALTHY

The perfect way to start your Sunday mornings is to have a perfect breakfast. Its really essential to eat the right food to be on top of your health. I strongly believe-“a healthy mind only comes with the healthy food”. Considering the fact that how busy life we all are living, its very difficult to focus on the few minute things in our lives like the food. Especially, when you are living in a country like India, which is a paradise for the foodies and the food is really tempting, it is really hard to resist the not so healthy food. Moreover, the demography and the culture are such that there are only few choices to make from the really healthy food items but, there is good news.

The good news is people are getting more aware about the healthy living and especially about the healthy foods. There has been a sudden outburst of healthy and fat-free food items in the Indian retail market and the sales are high as never before. The fitness industry is at its all time peak and it’s expected to rise further. People are getting more aware about the heart diseases, the cardiac risks and the diabetes. India is certainly became the diabetic capital of the world and we have to take special attention to it before the situation goes out of hand.

On a lighter note, its not that everyone needs to follow a strict exercise regimes and diet plans to live a healthy life style, but it’s just following the basic things and making the right choices while you are eating, and we all know nothing in excess is good for the body. I’m also kind of focused about my health, and every now-n-then I try to keep it healthy. Today, its been a perfect start, I feel blessed to have my delicious healthy breakfast. You can see in the pictures- I had brown-bread veg. cheese sandwiches with loads of raw vegetables, mixed fruit juice and a glass of mango-shake (without the sugar)…..hmmmm yummy J. So, stay fit, eat good food and have a good life, ENJOY!!   

      

GETTING YOUNGER & FITTER

Many years ago, I used to consider human body ‘on its own’ meaning it will be what it wants to be automatically irrespective of the special diet or any other extra intakes, I thought the demographic influence and the regular foods intake is enough. Then a few years later as I started understanding my body and the various hundreds of mechanisms continuously working inside it, I understood an important thing- the human body is evolved by a natural phenomenon but to make it perfect it has to be nourished correctly and properly.

Every single part of the body has its own demands and ways of nourishment, and to live longer and healthier life one has to fulfill it. I’m sure there are plenty of live examples in front of you, and I’m also sure many a times in your life you might have had these questions- Why we age? Why my skin is losing the glow? Why m I having the hair-fall? Why these cardiovascular diseases are spreading? Why everyone is becoming a victim of Diabetes or Alzheimer? The situation becomes really scary and you are in dilemma that after pursuing a healthy life style still such problems are happening, but the harsh reality is your perception of healthy living is incorrect and the body has not being well nourished yet, there is still something missing.

I used to be a complete anti to all the health related products in the market, I always had it straight in my mind that all these companies selling the products are fake and just trying to make money by fooling the people, but then I came across a friend. This friend of mine was in terrible health a month ago when I last met him and today I was so surprised the way he was looking in perfect shape and fitness. He shared his story with me and then I got to know about Oxis International. For the first time in my life I had interest to know about a company, which sells such health related products, and I started finding more about it. Surprisingly, I found a firm that is involved in intense research and development of the most useful health products like- the products that counteract the harmful effects of “oxidative stress”, therapeutic compounds that have potential application in the treatment of neurodegenerative (Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s), cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other conditions, and products that concerns with brain health, immunity against diseases, anti-aging, inflammation, detoxification and many more.

Reliability is an important factor for all us before trying any health related products, all of us have serious doubts and concerns in our mind about the side effects of such products and as a result we many a times stop ourselves from trusting a genuine product as well, but it’s human nature and all of us is like that only. Nevertheless, I’m sure it’s not difficult to trust a company who has several patents to its name and justify its credibility, and Oxis is one of them. It has many patented research methodologies to develop Nutraceutical and Cosmecuetical products and many different products to its name. It is surely enough to trust a product from a company that respects both consumer’s money and health. So, if you want to look younger, fitter and beautiful try Oxis, it definitely worth a try. You can also find Oxis among the people on the social networking site- Twitter and Facebook, so let’s not waste our precious health, time and money and contact Oxis first.

SWINE FLU: THE TEST OF PEOPLE’S FITNESS

Swine Flu death toll has just touched to 27 today in India. In the city of Pune alone the death toll has reached to 15 and in Bangalore, a total of 5 people have been victimized to death by Swine Flu. The picture is looking gloomy but it also raises a question, is the virus attacking everyone and anyone can fall its prey?

The answer to the above question in the most simple, scientific and logical way would be – Yes. The Swine Flu Virus can attack anybody but it’s not necessary that you will suffer the H1N1 Influenza. Let me put light on some of the facts, which reflects a true story.

In India out of the 27 people, who have died approximately 12-14 people have died because of the lack of proper medical remedies been taken against the Swine Flu, which were because of the lack of detection of Swine Flu or late detection by the doctors. Rest of the people, who died are either the old people (50+ years of age) or children below the age of 15.

Now there is a common thing between the people of older age and the children, which is their Immune System. Both the older aged people and children have a similar kind of immunity levels. The children normally have their immunity in a pre-matured stage, which is yet to develop into a full fledged reliable Immune System and on the other hand, aged people have weak immunity, which has deteriorated over the years and is not in the most reliable form. In both the cases, lower fitness and lower immunity are the reasons for victimization to H1N1 Influenza.

One thing is very clear that Immunity is driven from a person’s fitness. A better fitness levels can help an individual gain a reliable immune system. A 20-minutes daily workout of cardiovascular exercises can improve your immune system. By having a better immune system it will be more difficult for you to catch a cold or any other viral diseases for that matter. It’s a necessity to maintain a good fitness level along with good hygiene to fight against viral diseases like Swine Flu. So, hit the gym or start working out on your fitness today. Better fitness leads to better life and for the first time in my life I have realized the true meaning of the statement – The Survival of the Fittest. Hope you too understand it today and live a better life with better fitness from here on.
