When I look back at last 20 years of my life, we fought 5 cancer cases in the closest family- Mom,Dad, Grandmom, Sister, Mom In law. Many more in the extended family. And we won all these battles. Some lessons
1) It can happen to anyone. None were into any form of addiction. 2) Money is an important component for survival. Get a big insurance. And insurance alone cannot help. In a relatives case he had to be taken to US for a year. That’s lot of money.
So be thrifty in ur young days. Create wealth. Don’t splurge. 3) Family together is most important. I can’t emphasise enough on it’s importance to fight the disease. 4) Stay positive. Every moment. When happy and when in pain. Don’t try to win sympathy with ur sadness
And living with cancer survivors and taking all of them for months to hospitals has given me lot of insight and experience. Feel free to ping me anytime u unfortunately have to go through this process.

A friend of mine thinks he is in perfect health except for the antacids he takes every day. My bro in law thinks gluten is contributing to his daily stomach pain and digestive issues. Another relative needs green tea post dinner to digest food. Many can’t tolerate dairy.
In fact almost 3/4th population suffer from one or more chronic digestive ailments, including acid reflux, diarrhoea, constipation, gas, bloating, abdominal pain. And most of us don’t report this to our doctors also because we think it’s normal.
However these systems are not normal. They can be a sign that there is something wrong with digestive system. By tweaking your lifestyle and paying more attention to what and when u eat, u can restore ur health.
Many people have it in their minds that athletes are healthy because they are fit. However, if you look across the board at the professional level of sport, and if you analyze the statistics and health profiles of these athletes, you will find that, while they are super fit, ..
..but the process they employ to achieve this level of fitness may actually undermine their health. An athletes health is greatly impaired because of the catabolic state their body remains for long periods.
Unaware of the anabolic/catabolic relationship, or that the pursuit of fitness can result in decidedly negative health consequences, most people still associate fitness (or exercise) with health.
Here is a great tool kit from Dr Sachin Pandas book - The Circadian Code. For the next 6 days track the data as per sheet. You will get a fair idea of ur existing circadian system. Small changes done on this will go a long way in making u healthy, productive and free of disease.
If all 6 times change by +/- 2 hours or more over the week, u have a lot of room for improvement. U may start by fixing one thing and that will automatically bring many other in appropriate range.
7 hours of sleep is recommended for adults. If u sleep for less, the first thing would be to target that. Maybe go to bed half an hour early to start with. Remember 3out of 7 days of poor sleep will throw off your best efforts
Everyone is investing hugely in anti ageing. Till few years ago ageing was not even mentioned as cause of death or counted as a disease as per WHO protocols. And pharma invests only in diseases. Reversing age is possible and doable for most. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
Finding your biological age is now less than 100 USD. I get tested every year. Maybe in couple of years we will get home kit. Few blood markers can give you very accurate inner age. In the last two years I have reduced my inner age by 4 years. The younger u become the lower ur
chances of diseases which come with old age. The less suffering for u and your family. And very simple tools needed to reverse age. 1) Exercise - both aerobic, anaerobic. Strength train 2. Learn to manage stress 3. Eat nutrition 4. Sleep and recover 5. When needed supplement
One characteristic of hypothyroidism is a hoarse voice.
The thyroid gland is controlled by sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves (vagus). That means if your stressed, it will downregulate the production of thyroid hormone, potentially due to lack of vagal nerve tone.
Increasing your vagal tone activates the parasympathetic nervous system, and having higher
vagal tone means that your body can relax faster after
stress. Vagal tone can be measured by tracking your heart rate, your breathing rate, and your heart rate variability
Toolkit to activate the vagus nerve 1) Gargling while humming - try to see if you can do a 1-minute exercise 2) Cold showers
3)Deep expansive breathing, with exhale double the inhale 4) Voice exercises- Make an ‘oooo’ sound like siren of an ambulance going from lowest node to
I used to live in a small town in W Bengal. There were no professional opportunities there those days. I tried my hand in couple of things and those failed. My family was reasonably well to do but career to banana tha
Through a family connect I got an opportunity to set up a manufacturing unit in Faridabad. Grandpa was never in favour of leaving the safety of home and risking capital in a new venture and in a new city. Dad was with me on this and we decided to try out.
