Pramod Pathak
One may be able to take control of diet and shift to healthy choices of food, exercise daily, drink adequate water and also do sun bathing for one hour daily. There is another most important factor which is the foremost cause of diabetes and that is STRESS.
Stress causes body to release extra sugar in the blood to enable us to take care of the stressful situation. This stressful situation may be like sudden appearance of wild animal in a jungle. The body in such situation releases hormones which ultimately raise our heart beat, blood pressure and increased sugar levels. These helped us in the past to run very fast and reach a safe place far away from the wild animal.
This situation in today's environment is different. Spouse and children issues at home or boss in office are akin to such stressful situation. This is because you care for your spouse, children and job. Give life a break. Devote sometime to yourself, they are not stressful situation as you imagine. Stop reacting and start responding. Get your stress levels down.
Festive season is going on. Take a pledge to de-stress yourself. Speak to yourself for ten minutes daily. No situation is bad, we imagine 99% things in our head which never occur.
Forget the yesterday, never indulge in tomorrow's fantasy, LIVE IN TODAY.
Happy Diwali.
Eat less sweets, exercise more, more deep breathe, sleep tight, enjoy the festivals.
