Health is the greatest gift Contentment the greatest wealth Faithfulness the best relationship.
Most of the Jobs, specially Sales is quite demanding and taxing where one chases the targets. There is constant pressure from the bosses. Often the routine goes for a toss. You often skip meals and bing on junk food often to satiate the hunger. Further, there is no exercises. Some start the day as early as 7 am only to return at 11 or at times mid-night. This continues. If a person is a smoker and boozer then it is sone pe suhagar. In many companies there are weekend parties which take a big toll. A tyoical sales men, whos life style is described above is most vulnerable and becomes a victim of heart attack.
Such Jobs are no doubt paying but one ends up as a loser since all major ailments will start messing ones life and play a havoc. Money is no doubt esential, but one should learn to draw a line. God has given one life. You don`t know what will be your next birth. So why become a slave of money. Let us treat it as a means rather than treating it as the end. Peer pressure, unhealthy competition and hoard to amass lot of wealth in a short span of time are the factors which is taking a big toll on the youngsters.

Take limited amount of alcohal once in a week to reduce stress.
Surpising to see that the article did not talk about harm created by salt. Though sodium is required to our body, we give sodium chloride which is harmful not only to the heart but to whole body.

This is the most dumb statement ever hear, Sodium Chloride is a essential mineral our body requires else we will face dehydration. Heart pumping is based on the electrical impulses created by our food and our entire nervous system depends on these electric discharge including brain. If minerals are not consumed the whole system will collapse. Myth: Iodised Salt helps brain and memory cells. Fact: Iodine vaporises at room temperature.
Get out of all these myths and start consuming normal food, but do justice to your body by skipping rope on grass surface and brisk walking. If you cannot dedicate 1 hour for your body then you dont deserve a healthy body.

Any thing taken in moderation or prescribed limit is harmless. That includes common salt NaCl which when consumed in excess than the prescribed limit leads to swelling and water retention causing High Blood Pressure.

Mohammed, I think you missed the point what Ramana said and just jumped into conclusion that he is dumb. What he means to say is high consumption of salt is bad. By the way the" normal food" as you say by Indian standards if quite high in Salt by any global standards. This is the mian reason Indians are prone to Cardio vasular diseases when compared to the rest of the world eventhough we consume lower animal food. Salt is the main reason for Blood pressure and this harms both the heart and the Kidneys.
