Recently I got my genome test done and some surprising results. Humans are 99.5% the same. Yet that 0.5% difference matters. Based on my experience I am getting my wife and three kids also tested.Why test genetics?

Your skin color, body size, hair type, and predisposition to specific illnesses all depend on how your genes interact with your environment.If we know more about our genetic variants, we might be able to adjust our lifestyle in order to prevent some illnesses or become healthier.

For eg, certain gene variants can tell us how food is metabolized. Others can tell us whether or not carcinogens in cooked meats will influence the development of colon and prostate cancers. And others can predict inflammatory response and efficiency of DNA repair/replication.

There is always an argument about how much exercise a person should do. There is a distinct definition between health, fitness and athletic performance. They are different goals with distinct demands and processes.

Health is a slippery term, defined actually by its absence. Having high BP, lipid profile, too much blood sugar, a wide waist, or any illness from cold to cancer, is unhealthy. Absence of these conditions is healthy. Activities, if wisely chosen, will improve health.

Fitness is how efficiently you transport oxygen to labouring muscles & maintain movement. A physically fit person has robust heart,strong lungs & sturdy muscles. They may or may not be clinically healthy. Some people blessed with high marks on fitness can have bad lipid profile.

‘Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up’ -Edison

There have been many times in life when I wanted to give up. Failed many times. Every time I reminded of my God given purpose - Massive success. Rinse. Repeat. Don’t give up. Never give up.

My first two enterprises failed. Confused and unsure what I will do in life. No family business to fall on. The first 8 years in this enterprise were real real struggle. Staying away from family. In 2015 and 2019 we were awarded by GOI as the top 100 SMEs in India

Till last year I was working on my running to check how fast I could go &make PR & set goal. Now I have started prioritising performance and longevity. What I can do to run or participate in activities that I love at any age A lifetime of longevity in running is the best win

If you are on the same page, you can monitor some of these biomarkers that can directly impact your longevity in any sport. I am not a Doctor but sharing my experience. You should contact a Doc before u get these done.

Blood glucose-Glucose is the body's primary source of fuel. Properly regulated glucose levels are essential for maintaining overall health, performance, and longevity. Glucose can also be elevated due to stress or a poor night's sleep

Have u read the book or seen the movie Lone Survivor? US navy seal Marcus Luttrell along with few other seals is in lookout for a Taliban leader in Afghanistan. Taliban attacks them and he is the lone survivor with 11 bullet injuries, broken back,nose and pelvis

He needed to travel some 10 kms to reach nearest village for any chance of survival. He decided to crawl.But he didn’t think of that long distance as it would overwhelm him. He grabbed a pebble and drew a line in dirt. Then he crawled forward. When his feet passed that line,

he crawled again and drew another line. He did that for the whole 10 kms. He neither thought positive nor negative. He only told himself I am capable of crawling to this line. That’s ultimate neutral thinking.

The importance of getting a good’s night rest cannot be overstated. It’s also something that’s widely misunderstood. People have so many myths related to sleep. A recent study sciencedirect.com/science/articl… investigated to identify the most common and harmful assumptions about sleep

One of the top myths reported was the belief that people could get by on five hours of sleep or less. Thats not good and is killing you slowly. Another was alcohol makes me sleep well. I ask my clients to mark sleep/rest schedule in their calendar

As you look toward 2022 and create time blocks for your goals, consider sleep-blocking to ensure that you’re giving yourself enough rest to tackle it all. You may find that sleeping 7-9 hours will give you the edge you need to live a life of deep health.
