I was a software engineer, diagnised for border line diabetic / high BP and hypo thyroid. When my Dr. prescribed a barrage of pills, I took a deep look at current sedenentary lifestyle and switched to a better lifestyle.
a) Started (Bikram) Yoga, 5 - 6 days a week, 90 minutes a day. b) Cut down the eating portions c) limited alchohol in take to no more than 2 pegs of Vodka OR two glasses of RedWine once OR twice a week. d) Once a month do the body cleansing with Ayurveda e) Eating outside was reduced to once OR twice in month.
In 6 months, my diabetis receded, no HBP and Thyroid receded. No more darn pills. My tryglyceroids / cholesterol went way too low, My Dr. advised its ok to eat fat stuff. But I remained it in moderation.
I have lost 8 KGs weight, my waist got trimmed.
Many Desi friends were surprised and when I tell them Bikram Yoga they tell, it is either expensive OR How we can do it at home.
My take is, It is your life, you CHOOSE whether to do it OR not, no need to give a reasoning on why one is unable to do something.
Some question / argue whether yoga works OR not, after showing my blood results some will accept that yoga works and some still give reasons why they are unable to do it.
Its your life, you decide.
If you get a chance, go to bikram yoga website and read in testimonial section how a westerner who practiced yoga for solong controlled his diabetis.
Unfortunately we look for non-indians to endorse our Yoga to believe.

I recently read an Apollo brochure about discounts on various tests - like blood, urine, heart etc. I was about to finalize when I read the fine print - it said in disclaimer that results of these tests should not be considered as final and if anyone suspects any disease, then he must get specific tests done for it!!!! What nonsense? They are saying that they do not vouch for the discounted tests done by them, so one should not rely on them!! Indian medical scenario is grim and the government must do something to rein in these psycopaths.
I wud advise all to read the fine print before going for such so-called 'routine tests'

I lost my father as he died due to Heart Failuer. he had symptom of swelling in legs and on his face. we showed the MD-Cardiac and he could not diganose it (Possible he/she had passed by paying bribes and was not qualified doctor - like most of which we have in India).

Your father died due to his heart problem. No doctor gave it to him. And YOU chose the doctor. You had multiple choices. Perhaps you did not exercise the choices. Now you are trying to come to terms with the loss by blaming somebody else.

Thank you.. many of us are impatient to cultivate your suggestions and tips.. most of us are greedy for a fast change.. they are impatient and we can refer them as immatured.. Yoga and meditation yield results only in course of time.. not within a day or two, our Indian people should understand this concept..
