How
to Avoid Admittance
into
the Medical Malls
Chikitsa Vyapar Mandi
By
A.N. Mukherjee
Due
to increasingly intense pollution, adulteration and tension all the living
being of our planet are in severe danger of total annihilation, if it is not
checked well within a shorter period of time.
Human habitation has stupendously increased especially in our Country
during the last several decades and our present social system has not been able
to effectively manage to deliver the basic needs as yet. Attire, food and
shelter are the prime need of the people, over and above our health, hygiene
and education is equally important where our present system has grossly
neglected; we too are equally responsible for this poor state of affair.
In
a consumer driven economic system everything tends to become a commodity, the
medical services have also become a covetable commodity, as a result, Hospitals,
Nursing Homes, Diagnostic Centers are growing up like mushrooms. In view of this,
it is extremely important to understand as to how we can avoid admittance into
these Medical Malls. Since the moment you are admitted in these Medical Malls
your body will be a commodity for them and with the help of which lacs of lacs
of money will then be transacted. Keeping you in a state of mute spectator,
only you would see your available funds getting meager and meager along with a
lot of pain and pangs you are likely to suffer during the period.
The
writer humbly claims to have found some solution to this plight for the society
he belongs.
But
of course there is absolutely no intention here to suggest that one should not
avail the medical support system at all cost if the health condition so
warrants.
To
elaborate the factors required to be seriously considered for reducing the
chances of getting ailments or indisposition every now and then.
First
|
:
|
Regular
workout every day at least for about half an hour to forty five minutes. The
time to be spent which includes brisk walking, stretching, resistance
training like sit-up, push-up, pull-up, squat etc., free hand exercise Yoga
etc. are effective stretching exercise.
|
Second
|
:
|
Have
to take care of diet, avoidance of unhealthy foods and not to indulge in
binge eating.
|
Third
|
:
|
One has to maintain the following
fitness criteria –
a)
Body Weight – (BMI 19 – 25)
BMI = (Weight in Kilograms) / (Height in Meters)2
b) Waistline Measurement – For Male Less
than 40 inch, Female 35 inch
c) Air intake capacity of Lung – Expandability
at least 2 inch
d) Flexibility – Ability to touch toes
without bending the knees.
e) Muscle Tone – By regular resistance
training like push-up, pull-up, sit-up, squat etc. the skeletal muscles can
be kept toned up.
f) In case of hypertension/diabetes
mellitus one has to take medical support for keeping those at normal level
under Doctor’s advice.
g) Another aspect which needs to be
taken care of is our mental faculty. We are not only a body but mind as well,
and both are inalienable, hence one has to take care of mental health also so
that it should be so stable as to be able to handle the tension of our daily
life with a greater ease.
To achieve a stable mind capable of countering disturbed situations a
regular practice of Meditation, 15 to
20 minutes every day, is of great help for our psychological system.
Since the process of meditation basically is a technique by which one
can directly influence the central nervous system of our body.

If
we can religiously and seriously follow the said regime, it is not at all
difficult to maintain a healthy and happy life, irrespective of age and gender
which we all fervently desire.
