Just another mail


Mail from an I.T professional who has undergone this incident;

"I wanted to share an incident of my life with you.

Dear colleagues,

I am working in Blore Software City. I wanted to share an incident of my life with you, hoping that it may be an eye opener to you so that you can live more years. On 27 th October afternoon I had severe heart attack symptom and I was rushed to the hospital. Here I would thank my colleagues Krishna Reddy, Ajit, Rayalu and Arjun, who have saved my life by taking perfect decisions and helped me in all needs. The Procedure that I have gone through was really expensive and I couldn't have made it with out ValueLabs and Dr.Abdul karim's team. After reaching to the hospital the doctors prescribed a test called angiogram. This test is basically to identify blood flow of heart arteries. When they finished the test they found a 94% block in the main artery, please see the image below with red circle.



At this point I wanted to share my living style which has caused this block in my heart arteries. Please see the below points of my life style, if any of these points are part of your life style then you are at risk, please change yourselves. I was not doing any physical exercise for more than 10 years, not even walking 30 minutes a day for years. My food timings are 11:00 AM Breakfast or no Breakfast,3:00 PM to 4:00 PM Lunch and dinner at 11:00 PM to 12:00 AM.
Sleeping in very odd timings, going to bed between 12:00 AM and 3:00 AM. Waking up at between 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM. Some times spending sleepless nights. I used to eat heavily because of long gaps between lunch and dinner and I used to make sure that Non-Veg is available most of the time, there where times when I did survey on city hotels to find delicious Non-Veg dishes. I was never interested in vegetable and healthier food. Above all I was chain smoker form years. My father passed away due to heart problems, and the doctors say the heart problems are usually genetic. Once they identified the major block they have done immediately a procedure called angioplasty along with 2 Stents, mean they will insert a foreign body into the heart arteries and open the blocked area of arteries. Please see the below image after the procedure.



I learnt form the doctors that 60% people will die before reaching the hospital, 20% people will die in the process of recovering form heart attack and only 20% will survive. In my case I was very lucky to be part of the last 20%.

Doctors instructions:

1-Need to have physical exercise for minimum of 45 minutes daily.
2-Eat your food at perfect timing, like how you eat during your school days. Eat in small quantities more times and have lot of vegetables and boiled food, try to avoid fry items and oily food. Fish is good than other non-vegetarian food.
3-Sleep for 8 hours a day, this count should complete before sun rising.
4-Stop smoking.
5-Genetic problems, we can not avoid but we can get away form it by having regular checkups. 6-Find a way to get relived from the stress (Yoga, Meditation . etc).

So I urge you all to please avoid getting into this situation, it is in your hands to turn the situation up side down, by just planning /changing your life style, by following simple points above. Because life is wealth and GOD gives you life only once. I pray to GOD that no one should face this situation. Wish you a healthier life. "

wow...what a good entry.
kinda made me think of my own lifestyle.
well, for smokers, there's ntg much we can do bout it. gov has been doing so much in telling the public about smoking.
im sure the smokers themselves know that it's bad to smoke. they still do it. from my point of view, it really depends on them; their self-control to completely give up on smoking.
