No one tells you this except Alok : What I hv seen in life: On BP and Diabetes..


No one tells you this except Alok :   What I hv seen in life: 

BP is more amongst those who have unending needs, unreasonable expectations from life ( and specially from others like from spouse, children etc ), who break laws very often and then live under fear, who try to show off everywhere ( even in social and spiritual organisations,they want best of car, best of seat, want to be with best of guest, want muni maharaj (Saints)   to acknowledge their presence, can enter in to fight and arguments easily if things are not as per their wishes, are perfectionists, are expecting quid pro quo ( especially those in govt jobs expect that if applicant / citizen is benefiting then they must get bribe to un/ reasonable tune whereas they are on that post to do that job without harassment and delay)  (many in social circle expect that if I gifted / threw party so other one  must) , So they are not doing their job for love, as duty, as moral responsibility but with lot of expectations ) which can not always be met and they become frustrated. .....develop this ... and u ll find why every 10 the person in India is having BP and or diabetes, but in social circles rid with show off and competition  every 1 person in 7 persons and those in police, municipal corporations and similar govt jobs 1 person in every 4 person will be found suffering with BP and Diabetes. 

Solutions: 
1. Enjoy outdoor picnics, ras garba, swimming, musical chair, disco, and similar events on Sundays ( on every first opportunity). Do not indulge in show off type groups, cards party, and other stressful sedentary games. 

2. Buy Books and CD's of good discourses, mantras, bansuri vadan , Osho dynamic meditation, Sufis, Kabir's dohe etc.. 

3. Never worry about your car ( rather prefer a walk/ auto sometimes purposely)

4. Never worry about  home interiors, dressing sense ( like a hippy / saint be befikar) .  Jain muni and naga sadhus move around ....be un-hesitant and be  bindaas.

4. Where ever u r ( in informal times) laugh aloud, joke, sing and Lo! dance on first opportunity available. 

5. Don't compare with others. 

6. feel happy that your friends and relatives are rich. They will not come asking for loan. 

7. Feel happy that they are rich so they will throw lavish party / marriage events and be slogging while u as a guest should enjoy that event. U never asked for it. They threw it to show off. Be it. But never unnecessarily find faults and spoil your and their fun. Just enjoy. Just party!

8. Be humble. Sit in last row on purpose happily. Or need be even on floor. Do some lowly job happily. Remain unrecognized. Refuse to accept flowers, mementos etc or VIP seat in meetings as enough is enough and you do not want to pamper your ego any more. Wait in queue, wait for your turn on buffet dinner table even if u r Ambani/ Rahul/ Bush/ Amitabha. But do all that as an enlightened happy spiritual person and not to show off. See your blood pressure normalize. 

9. Cooperate humbly  with watchman, security check staff, parking lot staff, traffic police, gatekeeper on events, peon outside a cabin of a person you want to see etc etc who are doing their job in your interest or as per their bosses orders at lowest of salary and in worst work conditions ( most of them are sweating in afternoon heat in open) and do not boss over them. Understand them. Smile. Cooperate. So reduce ego ( VIP giri) and become sane ordinary person and see that your BP and Diabetes becomes normal. 

BP/ Diabetes = genetic, lifestyle, angry, egoist, selfish, dadagiri, perfectionist,ambitious, frustrated,jealous,in hurry, madly after name/ fame  / money. 

So be after happiness, aparigraha, humbleness, be smiling be sweet, be calm, patient, understand people  etc etc. 

Understand: Aisa bhi hota hei and ignore the bad incidence
                   Aise log bhi hote hein..and ignore bad people/ distasteful people

Listen atleast once a month : Chadata Suraj dhire dhire dhalata hei .....

The myth of symptoms
There's a common misconception that people with high blood pressure, also called hypertension, will experience symptoms such as nervousness, sweating, difficulty sleeping or facial flushing. The truth is that HBP is largely a symptomless condition. If you ignore your blood pressure because you think symptoms will alert you to the problem, you are taking a dangerous chance with your life. Everybody needs to know their blood pressure numbers, and everyone needs to prevent high blood pressure from developing.

Avoidable Regular Health Mistakes

Regular Health Mistakes

All of us make little health mistakes that cause damage to our bodies in the long run - simply because we are unaware we are doing something wrong.

Here are some of the most common mistakes made by many of us.

Not changing our toothbrush :
How often do you change your toothbrush? Most of us wait until most of the bristles have either fallen off, or are in such bad shape that we"d be embarrassed to pull out our brush in public. However, since not many of us need to pull out our brush in public, we carry on with our frayed one until we lose it. Replace your toothbrush often. Damaged bristles can harm the enamel, and don"t massage your gums well. If you find brushing your teeth a pain like I do, but know you must do it, you might as well be doing it right. Imagine going through the annoyance of brushing your teeth twice a day only to find out that you"re damaging your enamel every time you clean your teeth. Also, use a brush with soft bristles unless your dentist has advised otherwise.
Eating out often :
There are oils that are high in cholesterol, and oils that cause little harm and are better for your heart. However, no matter how light the oil is, it is never a good idea to eat too much of it. Avoid fried foods.Remember that in all probability your favourite Indian food restaurant throws a huge, HUGE chunk of butter in a tiny bowl of dal. Rita, who worked in the kitchen of a 5 star hotel, was shocked when she saw the cook chop a 500gm butter slab in half, and throw half into a Paneer Makhani dish. No wonder the customers left licking their fingers. And no wonder they felt so stuffed and heavy afterwards. Limit outdoor eating unless you know that you"re getting served light and healthy food.

Skipping breakfast :
Never, ever skip breakfast. Remember, when you wake up in the morning it"s been around 10-12 hours since your last meal. Your body needs food now, more than at any other time. Eat a heavy breakfast. You will then be busy through the day, and the calories will get expended quickly. If you are trying to diet, eat a light dinner. Here are some more common health mistakes we make. Being informed and making a few changes can help make us feel a whole lot better.
High heels :
High heels sure look great, but they're murder for your back. This however doesn't mean you should steer clear of stilettos. Wear them, but not when you know you will be walking around a lot. Wear them when going out for lunch or dinner - when the only walking you will be doing is to your car, to the table, and back. Avoid high heels when you are going somewhere on foot. If you are constantly tempted to wear your heels, take a good look at your flats. Is there something about them you dislike? Invest in a new pair of beautiful flats or shoes with a low heel. Buy something you love, that you will enjoy wearing. If possible, get a matching bag. You will then enjoy your flats as much as you do your heels.
Sleeping on a soft bed :
You don't have to sleep on the floor be kind to your back, but do make sure you have a firm mattress. Although a mattress on springs is soft and lovely to sink into, it's bad for your back. If you already have an old bed with springs, you don't need to invest in a new one - simply get a thick wooden plank put over the springs, and place the mattress on the plank. Similarly, if your mattress is old and lumpy, throw it out and get a new one. Your neck and your back will thank you. The same rule applies to sofas. If you will be spending hours on a sofa, get a firm yet comfortable one. Sofas you completely sink into are not the best idea.
Pillows :
No matter how comfortable sleeping with ten cushions is, have pity on your neck and resist. Sleep with one pillow, and make sure it is not too thick. If your pillow gets lumpy, discard it and go for a new one. Get a thin pillow if you sleep on your stomach, and something a little thicker if you sleep on your back, to give your neck adequate support
Not exercising : 
So all of us know we should exercise more, but many of us don't. This is a health mistake we consciously make! And why is that? Simply because we refuse to admit the damage we are causing to our bodies by not working out. A number of people only start working out once they've experienced a warning signal. Don't wait for a heart attack to strike before you decide to opt for a lifestyle change. Make the change now. You don't need to train for the marathon to be in top shape. Half an hour of brisk walking three to four times a week will make a world of difference to your health. You could then increase this to forty minutes, four times a week - and you're all set. If you haven't exercised for a week, you're making a mistake.

Young, Obese Men May Not Make It to Middle Age, Study Finds


shocking but seems true to some extent .......But how do I loose weight?????...Alok

MONDAY, April 29, 2013 — Men in their twenties who are obese may want to consider starting their mid-life crisis a little early, based on the findings of a study published today in the journal BMJ Open.
A group of young, overweight men were found to be 30 percent more likely to die before or during middle age than those of normal weight, and nearly half developed serious health conditions before age 55, according to the study.
Researchers from Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark followed 6,500 men for 33 years, starting when they were between the ages of 22 and 33. The men who were obese in their twenties and early thirties fared far worse than men of normal weight, researchers said.
“We found that nearly half of all obese young men either were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke or venous thromboembolism or died before reaching 55 years of age,” researchers wrote in the study.
Overall, men who were obese when the study began were 30 percent more likely to die before reaching middle age than men who were not obese, researchers said. They attributed the increased risk of death to the onset of serious health problems. 
With the obesity rate nearing 30 percent in the U.S. and abroad, the researchers said, “obesity-related morbidity and mortality will, in decades to come, place an unprecedented burden on healthcare systems worldwide.”
The findings are not surprising, said Dara Cohen, MD, professor of medicine, endocrinology, diabetes and bone disease at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Obesity can lead to a host of metabolic diseases that can cut your life short.
“People tend to think that the things we do when we’re younger don’t catch up with us, but this shows that’s not the case,” she said. “The things we do when we’re younger do affect us as we get older.”
But while the findings, which likely apply to obese women as well, indicate that young obese men have are significantly more likely to develop a serious health condition or die by middle age, Dr. Cohen said it’s not too late to make a change.
“Eating less and exercising more, and making healthy food changes can make a huge difference,” she said.” It can help you lose weight and ward off diabetes and cardiovascular disease.”
However, beating obesity is difficult, Cohen said, which makes it more important to stop kids and young adults from becoming obese in the first place. Preventing obesity begins in the classroom, she said, andteaching kids how to exercise and eat healthy can help them live long, healthy lives.
“Changing school lunches is important, and we need to teach kids to be active and play sports instead of video games,” Cohen said. “We need to teach them from a young age to make smart choices.”
