And one of the most powerful tools in this process is Yoga. We can say Yoga is the best medicine for this. Daily practice of yoga and pranayama can help in many ways, such as reducing blood sugar levels, regulating blood pressure, and lowering the risk of heart problems. Also help in improving muscular strength and endurance, balance and flexibility, and releasing stress.
Yoga and diabetes:
The basic cause for diabetes is insulin resistance, a condition where the body either doesn’t produce sufficient insulin or is unable to use the insulin produced by the pancreas. Insulin resistance is responsible for a host of so-called ‘lifestyle disorders’, including, among others, BP, high cholesterol, PCOD/S, and of course, diabetes. Lets understand causes of insulin resistance, three are diet-related, two relate to exercise and one is, stress.
These poses activate your parasympathetic system, helping dissipate stress a key factor in fat storage. The poses also work on your visceral organs the pancreas, liver, kidney, in particular, all key organs in regulating blood sugar. Another area where these asanas have a major impact is the digestive tract. By improving blood flow to this area, the asanas help the body to maintain a healthy and balanced gut microbiome a key element in avoiding nutrient deficiency.
Here is a list of the top ten asanas, you should try and include in your daily practice
Surya Namaskar: Suryanamaskar improves blood circulation, improves spine health, increases muscular strength, lung capacity, and the management of insulin.
Padhastasana (hand under foot pose) - It stimulates your viscera and strengthens the abdomen, improving its efficiency.
Pavanamuktasana (wind removing pose)- This asana too has a great effect on your visceral organs, massaging the pancreas, liver, spleen, and colon

Current rambling thoughts on dieting/weight loss, nothing that's a downer:
Back in April I got blood test results that showed my cholesterol was high and my sugar was barely shy of being diabetic. It spooked the shit out of me, as despite being fat most of my life, I was also pretty healthy and somewhat active. It was after getting covid that I was so fatigued I dropped the active thing pretty much entirely.
The doctor was more focus on the sugar, and recommended cutting back simple sugars, adding in more fiber, and increasing my weekly activity.
I'd been wanting to get back into shape for a long, long time but I've been nervous about trying the gym again. My dad was one of those shithead people that secretly films people in the gym doing things 'wrong' or committing the sin of being fat in public. It had me terrified of trying to get fit where other people could see me, because you know, most people don't want to be mocked.
Lucky me, I have the most amazing, supportive girlfriend ever. She took me by the hand and very gently showed me around the gym, helped me learn how to use the machines, and didn't mind when I shadowed her around as she did her workout. From there, I got excited! I used to LOVE working out, I just mostly did simple stuff, running, and swimming. I did a lot of WiiFit when I was younger, and this one Jillian Michael's DVD I found at Walmart for like $5 at the time. Running was the big one though (hello Zombies, Run folks).
So just making those changes (less soda, more fiber, more exercise) over the course of maybe 3ish months I dropped almost 15 lbs. I hadn't been tracking my weight, but I did compare the results the doctor took from my previous three appointments. I was kind of shocked! I've never had a healthy relationship with weight loss, and every time I've tried to lose weight it lead to a lot of heartache, misery, and doubled weight gain. So I more or less wrote off my ability to trim down and decided to just be fat and happy.
I will say though, the extra bulk has recently frustrated me. I can't do yoga the way I used to. My limbs are still flexible but I keep getting blocked by my own fat. I have to go real easy on my joints because of all the extra weight, which is frustrating, because I'd honestly love to try jogging again. I just don't want to fuck my back and knees up again.
I decided to give losing weight another try, with a lot more self-love, after a lot more research, and with the support of someone who has loved me even at my fattest and never said a word about it.
It hasn't been too hard this time. I don't feel like I'm depriving myself. I am impatient, I want to see results NOW, but obviously that's not how things work. And slow is better anyway.
I know tumblr has a generally negative view on weight loss, and I fully include myself in that. I bought into the 'starvation mode means you'll never ACTUALLY lose weight permanently) thing, I was convinced anyone trying to lose weight had the same disordered ideas on it that I used to have (and still struggle with sometimes). It's a loaded topic for a hundred reasons, so I am trying to be conscious of when I talk about it and around who. Hence the tags and putting it under a cut. I'm happy and excited to be trying this out, putting my health first, trying to feel strong and capable in my body, but I absolutely know first hand how upsetting hearing about dieting can be. Not to mention how hard it is to avoid the more toxic side of trying to change your diet and fitness.
I've found a lot of resources that are very facts based, cut and dry, and leave out the moralizing behind weight loss and weight gain and just weight in general. There are a lot of very encouraging resources as well.
So yeah! As said, this is just a ramble, I like to write to get my thoughts down, and it always comes easier when it feels like I'm talking to someone, not just myself. I probably won't post a lot about this, but it's been just over a week since I started tracking my food and daily weight specifically, which always used to be something that would send me into a bad habit spiral. This time feels different. I've been doing fine. There have been a few moments of disappointment, but they've been easy to shake off. Mostly I'm just astounded to learn more about the macros involved in the food I eat, and I'm also happy to have tools to help me find portions that make me feel full and not stuffed. On the days I've been not kept to my deficit goals, it was because I was hungry and decided it was more worth it to feed myself than stick to a number and I didn't feel a bit of guilt about it afterward.
I'm pretty pleased with how it's going so far. I feel stronger, I feel more energetic, and tracking my food intake and weight makes the part of my brain that loves a spreadsheet very happy.

What are 7 ways to boost your immune system?
Tumblr media
Immune system is the body’s defence mechanism that helps in fighting with different life threatening microscopic organisms, chronic diseases and disorders.
Duties and responsibilities towards family members and society, financial pressure and stress do not let us think and act in a positive way and stay healthy.
Such unavoidable circumstances are taking control of our life. We are inclined towards eating fast and processed food items, smoking nicotine and different types of prohibited drugs and drinking alcohol.
As a result, we do find ourselves trapped in different diseases in different parts of the body.
Let’s understand the signs of weak immune system and these are:
a)  Constantly suffering from cough and cold.
b)  High level of stress
c)  Excessive stomach problem
d) Wounds not easily healing.
e)   Intense infections.
f)  Easily getting tired.
Instead of spending huge amounts of money on medicines and treatment of the immunocompromised diseases like cancer, diabetes, hepatitis and other intestinal disorders, it is recommended to rely on Ayurveda. In fact, Ayurveda happens to be rewarding for your health. To achieve strong immune system, you need to maintain:
a)  Healthy liver function.
b)  Good digestive ability.
c)  Good hormonal and ojas balance.
d) Strong metabolism
Ayurveda would suggest you to go for simple steps for boosting immunity in the body
a)   Maintaining a proper diet: It is the foremost thing to maintain healthy immune system. Depending on the deficiency of kapha, vat and pitta doshas, you must actually select and eat the right food items. Most important thing is to boost and protect ojas and that is by consuming different types of nuts, raisins, dates, saffron and ghee. Adding garlic in your regular diet will help in removing toxins from the body and help you to fight cough and cold.
b)   Adequate sleep: Depending on the health condition , there is a need for proper balanced sleep. If you are suffering from kapha dosha then you must have 6 to 7 hours of sleep. Person suffering from vata dosha would require 8 hours of sleep. It will help in recovering from any type of joint pain. Person undergoing the problem of pitta dosha would have moderate sleep, not high as a vata dosha patient nor little as kapha dosha..As per the studies of researchers, adequate amount of sleep reduces the development of cancer.
c)    Waking up early:  Coming in contact with the rising sun boosts Vitamin D for the body. Further, it sharpens your memory and keeps your body and mind active.
Tumblr media
d) Exercise and yoga: Regular exercise and yoga in the morning hours before taking bath and breakfast will help in bringing relief from the toxins from the body. It will boost blood circulation and good gut health. Dancing, swimming, running, doing push ups and squatting are some exercises that one can adopt and practice on a daily basis. One can deal with cough and cold and nerve related disorders with the help of pranayama or simple breathing exercise.
e)    Reduce stress:  To wipe out the stress level from the body, you can engage in the activities that appeal to you or you find them interesting. You can travel to your favourite destination where you can get the opportunity to connect with nature. Meditation is another way of fighting stress. Ayurveda suggests to go for herbal steam therapy to reduce the stress hormone, boost blood circulation and nerves of the brain and body. Oil massage on the body and forehead is highly effective in reducing stress.
f)    Manage rising weight:  Weight management is another way to control obesity. To stay healthy for a long period of time, one should not be too obese or too thin. Or else, you will suffer from cardiovascular problems, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Too much thinness will lead to deficiency of iron, vitamins and other necessary nutrients.
g)   Staying hydrated: Drinking 8 to 12 glasses of water will cleanse the body from the toxins, boost healthy bowel movement and control dehydration, diarrhea and intestinal disorders
Above mentioned ways strengthen your immune system. As per the experts’ opinion, your strong bonding with nature will help to gain key to healthy life.

Why Women’s Wellness: Understanding High Cholesterol and Heart Disease in Women
At Access Health Care Physicians, LLC, we prioritize women's wellness and recognize the unique health challenges they may face. In this article, we delve into the critical topic of high cholesterol and heart disease in women, shedding light on the importance of understanding these conditions to promote better heart health.
Introduction:
Heart disease is a leading cause of mortality among women worldwide. While it has long been associated with men, women also face significant risks related to heart health, particularly concerning high cholesterol levels. Understanding the connection between high cholesterol and heart disease is vital for empowering women to make informed decisions about their health.
The Impact of High Cholesterol on Heart Health:
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that our bodies need to build healthy cells. However, when cholesterol levels become elevated, it can lead to the accumulation of fatty deposits in the arteries, restricting blood flow to the heart. This condition, known as atherosclerosis, significantly increases the risk of heart disease and related complications.
Unique Risk Factors for Women:
Women may experience specific risk factors for high cholesterol and heart disease that differ from those of men. Some of these risk factors include:
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations throughout a woman's life, such as during pregnancy, menopause, and the use of hormonal birth control, can impact cholesterol levels and heart health.
Smoking: Smoking is a prominent risk factor for heart disease in women. Female smokers face a higher risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular issues.
Diabetes: Women with diabetes are at an increased risk of developing heart disease compared to men with diabetes.
Sedentary Lifestyle: Physical inactivity can lead to weight gain and unfavorable changes in cholesterol levels, contributing to heart disease risk.
Stress and Depression: Chronic stress and depression have been linked to higher cholesterol levels and an increased risk of heart disease in women.
Tumblr media
Recognizing Symptoms in Women:
Women may experience different heart attack symptoms than men. While chest pain is a common symptom for both genders, women may also present with other signs, including:
Pain or discomfort in the neck, jaw, or upper back
Shortness of breath
Nausea or vomiting
Lightheadedness or fainting
Pain or discomfort in one or both arms
It is essential for women to be aware of these symptoms and seek immediate medical attention if they experience any of them.
Preventive Measures for Women's Heart Health:
Preventing heart disease begins with proactive lifestyle choices and regular health checkups. Here are some preventive measures that women can take to improve heart health:
Healthy Diet: Adopt a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Limit the intake of saturated and trans fats, as they can contribute to elevated cholesterol levels.
Regular Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling, for at least 150 minutes per week.
Manage Stress: Practice stress-reduction techniques, such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises, to promote emotional well-being.
Quit Smoking: If you smoke, seek support to quit smoking and improve your heart health significantly.
Regular Checkups: Schedule regular visits with healthcare providers for preventive screenings and cholesterol level assessments.
Conclusion:
Promoting women's wellness involves understanding the specific risks and challenges they may face concerning heart health. High cholesterol is a significant contributor to heart disease in women, but with early detection and lifestyle modifications, it can be effectively managed and even prevented.
At Access Health Care Physicians, LLC, we are committed to providing comprehensive care to women, empowering them to take charge of their health. Our team of healthcare providers offers personalized guidance and support to enhance heart health and overall well-being.
Educate yourself about heart disease and high cholesterol, make informed choices, and take proactive steps towards a healthier heart and a happier life.

Healthful Exercise: Tips and Techniques
Tumblr media
To maintain general health and wellbeing, one must lead an active lifestyle. Exercise can enhance mental health and reduce stress in addition to preventing chronic conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Yet, starting started with exercise can be difficult and it can be stressful to know what exercises to do and how to do them. We’ll provide you advice and ideas in this post on how to include exercise into a healthy lifestyle.
Importance of Exercise
A healthy lifestyle must include regular exercise. Frequent exercise lowers the chance of developing chronic diseases, improves mental health, and helps maintain a healthy weight. Moreover, exercise contributes to increased muscle flexibility and strength, which can lower the chance of injury and enhance overall quality of life.
Cardiovascular Health
Any action that increases your heart rate and gets your blood pumping is considered cardiovascular exercise, commonly referred to as aerobic exercise. By enhancing circulation, strengthening the heart muscle, and lowering the risk of heart disease, cardiovascular exercise helps to promote heart health.
Maintaining a Healthy Weight
Because it increases metabolism and burns calories, regular exercise aids in maintaining a healthy weight. In addition to burning calories during exercise, lean muscular mass can boost resting energy expenditure.
Mental Health
Exercise is beneficial for both physical and mental wellbeing. Frequent exercise helps to lower stress, enhance mood, and lessen the signs of sadness and anxiety.
Chronic Diseases
The chance of developing chronic conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and obesity can be lowered with regular exercise. Exercise improves insulin sensitivity, lowers cholesterol, and lowers blood pressure.
Tips for Starting Exercise
Starting an exercise routine can be challenging, but there are several tips that can help you get started and stay motivated.
Set Realistic Goals
Establishing attainable objectives is crucial for sustaining motivation and advancing. Set simple, doable goals to begin with, then progressively increase the duration and intensity of your workouts.
Start Slowly
Beginning cautiously might lessen the chance of injury and save you from getting burned out. Start out with low-intensity workouts like walking, swimming, or cycling, and as your fitness level rises, progressively up the ante.
Find an Exercise Buddy
Exercise with a buddy or member of your family can help with accountability and inspiration. Exercise can also be more enjoyable and exciting with a training companion.
Mix It Up
When it comes to fitness, variety is crucial. To avoid boredom and keep your body challenged, change up your regimen. Exercise in various ways, including aerobic, weight training, and flexibility activities.
Listen to Your Body
It’s critical to pay attention to your body when beginning an exercise regimen. Whenever you feel pain or discomfort, stop and rest. A healthcare practitioner should be consulted before beginning any new workout regimen.
Techniques for Effective Exercise
In addition to the tips for starting exercise, there are several techniques that can help to make exercise more effective and efficient.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
Short bursts of intense activity separated by rest intervals are known as high-intensity interval training, or HIIT. HIIT has been demonstrated to be a successful method for burning calories, enhancing cardiovascular health, and increasing lean muscle mass.
Strength Training
A comprehensive workout programme must include strength training. Lean muscle mass, which strength training helps to develop, can boost metabolism and improve overall body composition.
Stretching
Maintaining flexibility and lowering the risk of injury require stretching. Stretching can help you increase your range of motion and relieve tension in your muscles during exercise.
Mind-Body Exercise
Mind-body exercises such as yoga, tai chi, and Pilates can help to improve flexibility, balance, and overall body awareness
Group Exercise Classes
A fun and effective approach to get in shape is to enrol in group fitness courses like dance, aerobics, and spin classes. A sense of camaraderie, motivation, and accountability are all provided by group exercise courses.
Outdoor Activities
Outdoor pursuits like riding, swimming, and hiking can offer a stimulating and demanding workout. Outdoor pursuits offer a chance to take in the scenery, breathe clean air, and soak up some sunshine.
Conclusion
A healthy lifestyle must include regular exercise. Frequent exercise can lower the chance of developing chronic diseases, improve mental health, maintain a healthy weight, and improve cardiovascular health. Exercise can be difficult to begin, but you can make it a part of your healthy lifestyle by setting reasonable objectives, beginning slowly, and varying your routine. Exercise can be made more effective and pleasurable by including strategies like HIIT, weight training, stretching, mind-body exercises, group exercise programmes, and outdoor activities.

LEAN BELLY, BELLY FAT PROBLEMS!!!
Belly fat, also known as visceral fat, is a type of fat that surrounds the organs in your abdominal area. Excess belly fat can be a problem because it is associated with several health conditions, including:
Type 2 diabetes: Belly fat can affect insulin sensitivity, which can lead to high blood sugar levels and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Heart disease: Excess belly fat can increase the risk of heart disease by raising blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels.
Stroke: People with excess belly fat may have an increased risk of stroke due to the negative impact on heart health.
Sleep apnea: Belly fat can lead to sleep apnea, a condition in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep.
To reduce belly fat, it's essential to focus on a combination of a healthy diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle changes. Here are some tips that may help:
Reduce calorie intake: Eating a calorie-controlled diet can help reduce overall body fat, including belly fat.
Eat a healthy diet: A healthy diet rich in whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats, can help reduce belly fat.
Engage in regular exercise: Regular exercise can help burn calories and reduce belly fat. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise per week.
Reduce stress: Stress can lead to the production of cortisol, a hormone associated with belly fat. Engage in stress-reducing activities, such as yoga or meditation, to help reduce cortisol levels.
Get adequate sleep: Lack of sleep has been associated with an increased risk of belly fat. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
Remember, reducing belly fat takes time and consistency. Make small, sustainable changes to your diet and lifestyle to see lasting results. Also consider using these tested supplements to fasten the process.

Coronary Artery Disease: Understanding and Managing a Silent Killer
Tumblr media
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked due to the build up of plaque, a condition known as atherosclerosis. This progressive narrowing reduces blood flow to the heart muscle, leading to various complications, including chest pain (angina), heart attacks, and, in severe cases, heart failure.
Causes and Risk Factors
The primary cause of CAD is atherosclerosis, which develops over time due to factors like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and a sedentary lifestyle. Genetic predisposition can also increase the likelihood of developing the disease. Moreover, stress, obesity, and unhealthy eating habits further exacerbate the risk.
Understanding these risk factors is crucial for early detection and prevention. For example, if you have a family history of heart disease or lead a lifestyle characterized by poor dietary choices and minimal physical activity, you should seek medical advice from experts like a cardiologist in hapur, who can guide you through proper preventive strategies.
Symptoms
The symptoms of CAD can vary significantly. Some individuals may remain asymptomatic for years, while others might experience:
Chest Pain (Angina): Discomfort or tightness in the chest, especially during physical exertion or stress.
Shortness of Breath: Difficulty breathing, particularly during activities.
Fatigue: Unexplained tiredness, even with minimal effort.
Heart Attack Symptoms: Severe chest pain, nausea, lightheadedness, and cold sweats.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is imperative to consult a healthcare provider or a Cardiologist in Hapur to undergo appropriate diagnostic tests like electrocardiograms, stress tests, or angiograms.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosing CAD involves a combination of clinical evaluations, medical history reviews, and diagnostic tests. Common methods include blood tests, imaging techniques like coronary angiography, and non-invasive tests such as stress echocardiograms.
Treatment aims to improve blood flow to the heart and reduce the risk of complications. Depending on the severity, options include:
Lifestyle Changes: Adopting a heart-healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and quitting smoking.
Medications: Drugs like statins, beta-blockers, and antiplatelet agents to manage cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood clotting.
Surgical Interventions: Procedures like angioplasty, stenting, or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to restore normal blood flow.
Prevention is Key
Prevention remains the most effective strategy against CAD. Regular check-ups, maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and exercising regularly can significantly lower your risk. Managing stress through relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation also helps maintain heart health.
For those at higher risk, timely intervention and expert guidance from specialists such as a cardiologist in hapur can make all the difference. Early detection and proactive management can help prevent the progression of CAD and improve the quality of life.
Conclusion
Coronary Artery Disease, though prevalent, is preventable and manageable with the right approach. Understanding its causes, recognizing symptoms, and adhering to preventive measures can save lives. Seek professional advice promptly if you suspect any symptoms or have a high risk of CAD. Remember, your heart’s health is in your hands, so take the necessary steps today for a healthier tomorrow.

Erectile Dysfunction
What It Is and How to Deal with It
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is more common than many realize, and while it can feel overwhelming or even embarrassing, it’s important to know that it’s manageable. ED occurs when someone struggles to get or maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. It’s not just a physical issue but can also have deep emotional and relational impacts. Let’s break it down simply and explore how to address it effectively.
Why Does ED Happen?
There’s no single cause of ED—it’s often a combination of factors. Here are the main ones: 1. **Physical Health Challenges** - Blood flow plays a big role in achieving an erection. Conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease can interfere with this. - Hormonal imbalances, especially low testosterone, can make a difference too. This is something that tends to naturally decline with age but can sometimes drop too much. - Being overweight or physically inactive can also add to the problem. 2. **Stress and Mental Health** - Stress, anxiety, or even overthinking can make ED worse. - Sometimes, just the fear of not performing well sexually (performance anxiety) can be enough to cause ED. - Mental health conditions like depression or unresolved relationship tensions can also take a toll. 3. **Lifestyle Choices** - Habits like smoking, drinking excessively, or using recreational drugs can interfere with sexual performance. - Poor sleep and a lack of exercise? They don’t help either.
The Emotional Toll of ED
When ED happens, it’s not just a physical issue. It can hit hard emotionally: - You might start feeling less confident or worried about your relationship. - It can create distance or tension with your partner. - Sometimes, the stress of ED can even lead to deeper anxiety or depression. But here’s the good news: ED is treatable, and you’re not alone in this journey.
Steps to Overcome ED
Small, manageable changes can make a big difference: 1. **Focus on Your Health** - **Move Your Body**: Start with regular walks or light workouts—it improves blood flow and boosts mood. - **Eat Right**: Choose fresh fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins while cutting down on unhealthy fats and sugars. - **Sleep Well**: Quality sleep helps balance hormones and improve energy. - **Keep an Eye on Habits**: Quit smoking, reduce alcohol intake, and avoid recreational drugs. 2. **Take Care of Your Mind** - Stress can be a major culprit. Try meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to unwind. - If you’re feeling overwhelmed or anxious, talking to a therapist can help you get to the root of the problem. 3. **Explore Natural Remedies** - Herbal supplements like *Ashwagandha* and *Shilajit* have been traditionally used to support sexual health. They can help boost testosterone levels and reduce stress. - Always talk to a healthcare professional before trying any new supplement.

Day 1
A Psychologist par excellence, Maharishi Patanjali was a seer who lived sometime around the 2nd century BCE. He knew the twists and turns, the pitfalls and the intricacies of the labvrinthian miracle called the mind.
Maharishi Patanjali was not only well versed with the craftiness of this mind but also knew a way to master the mind. The definitive authority on the body, mind and soul, his Yoga Sutras are an eye opening account, and perhaps the most advanced textbook of psychology.
2200 years later, this text is still the authority on the biggest global trend, that is Yoga. 2200 years later, his text finds relevance in our lives cutting across languages, cultures, borders, time. Yoga is helping people across the world deal with life and living, even today. But what is one supposed to make of the sutras written almost like a computer code?
According to Patanjali, 'Santosha' or contentment is the basic requirement for growth. But how do we get there in this day and age of anxiety and depression?
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji decodes the Sutras with his customary wit and elan, making it an essential addition to everyone's reading list. For anyone trying to navigate the murky waters of life, this knowledge is sure to steer you to a safe shore.
Chapter 1 - Discipline Of Yoga 
Day 1 
Shaasana are the rules that society or somebody else imposes on you. Anushasan are the rules that you impose on yourself. Now, why is Yoga called a discipline? Where is the need for a discipline? When does the need for discipline arise? When you are thirsty, you want to drink water. 
You don't feel that it is a rule to drink water when you are thirsty. And when you are hungry, you eat. You do feel that you have the discipline of eating when you are hungry, that you have a discipline of enjoying the nature. No discipline is necessary for enjoyment. When is discipline relevant? 
Not when something is enjoyable at the very first step. A child never says that it has the discipline of running to his mother when he sees her. Discipline arises where something is not very charming to begin with, when you know that it would be ultimately give a fruit that is very good and enjoyable but that, in the beginning, it is not enjoyable. 
When you are abiding in yourself, when you are in joy, and when you are in peace or in happiness, true happiness, then you are already in your self. There is no discipline there. But when that is not so, the mind will wag its tail all the time. Then, discipline is essential to calm it down so that it can come back to it Self. The fruit of this is eventually very blissful and joyful. 
A diabetic patient has a discipline not to eat sugar. Someone with cholesterol has to be disciplined and not to take too much fat. This is because, though fats are tasty, they will raise unpleasant complications later. There are three types of happiness - sattvic, tamasic and rajasic.
Sattvic, to begin with is not so enjoyable but it always leads to joy. The happiness which is felt after a certain discipline is really Sattvic happiness - a long lasting happiness. A happiness which is enjoyable to begin with and ends in misery is no happiness at all, so a discipline is necessary to have this authentic sattvic happiness. 
Discipline is not torturing oneself unnecessarily. The purpose of discipline is to attain joy. Sometimes people impose disciplines on themselves which doesn't give any joy to them or anybody else at any time. This is Tamasic happiness. Tamasic happiness just appears to be but it is misery from the beginning to the end. 
No discipline is necessary for tamasic happiness. Lack of discipline is tamasic happiness. Rajasic happiness appears very enjoyable in the beginning but ends up in misery and suffering. It's caused by following the wrong discipline. It may also arise from a lack of discipline. Discipline is essential for sattvic happiness. 
To bear what is uncomfortable is discipline. It need not to be uncomfortable all the time. But if it's uncomfortable, you need discipline to be able to bear it and move through it. That's why Patanjali began with “now” - when things are not clear and when your heart is not in the right place. 
Nobody has imposed the discipline of Yoga on you. They are self-imposed. What are the rules that you have imposed on yourself? When you wake up in the morning, you brush your teeth. You do it before going to bed, too. This is your discipline. But this has been imposed on you from childhood. 
When you were a kid, your mother had imposed it on you. Once it became a habit and when you understood that it was good for you, it was no more your mother's rule. It became your rule. Keeping yourself clean and observing hygiene, exercising, meditating, being kind, considerate and not being rude. 
You have imposed these rules on yourself to help maintain discipline. Now, what does that discipline do? Discipline unites your Self and unites all the loose ends of your existence.
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji

Post-Bypass Angioplasty in Chennai
Post-bypass angioplasty, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), is a procedure that plays a pivotal role in addressing blockages or narrowing in the arteries that have previously undergone surgical intervention. Post-Bypass Angioplasty in Chennai In Chennai, renowned for its advanced healthcare infrastructure and expert cardiologists, post-bypass angioplasty is an essential service provided to ensure optimal cardiac health for patients experiencing complications after CABG.
What is Post-Bypass Angioplasty?
Post-bypass angioplasty is a specialized procedure aimed at restoring proper blood flow to the heart in cases where bypass grafts become narrowed or blocked. The procedure involves the insertion of a catheter with a balloon at its tip into the affected artery. The balloon is then inflated to compress the blockage or plaque against the arterial walls, improving blood flow. To maintain the artery’s patency, a stent is typically placed during the procedure. This approach is minimally invasive compared to repeat bypass surgery and offers patients a quicker recovery.
Tumblr media
Causes Leading to Post-Bypass Angioplasty
Several factors contribute to the need for post-bypass angioplasty. These include:
Restenosis: Restenosis, or the re-narrowing of treated arteries, can occur due to the body's natural healing response, which involves the overgrowth of smooth muscle cells.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, a high-fat diet, lack of exercise, and excessive stress can exacerbate arterial blockages, necessitating intervention.
Diabetes: Individuals with diabetes are at a heightened risk of complications due to accelerated atherosclerosis and impaired healing.
Progressive Coronary Artery Disease: Even after CABG, native arteries or bypass grafts can become diseased over time, requiring further treatment.

Enrolling in a cardiac rehabilitation program provides structured support, including supervised exercise, dietary advice, and emotional support to aid recovery and promote overall well-being.
Psychosocial Support:
Heart disease and its treatments can be emotionally taxing. Accessing counseling or support groups can help patients cope better during recovery.
Cost of Post-Bypass Angioplasty in Chennai
The cost of post-bypass angioplasty in Chennai typically ranges from ₹2 lakh to ₹4 lakh. The variation depends on factors like:
Type of Stent Used: Drug-eluting stents are costlier but more effective in preventing restenosis than bare-metal stents.
Hospital Facilities: Premium hospitals with advanced infrastructure may charge higher fees.
Insurance Coverage: Most health insurance policies cover a significant portion of the costs, reducing the financial burden on patients.
Patients are encouraged to consult their chosen healthcare provider for detailed package options and insurance-related guidance.
Procedure Steps in Post-Bypass Angioplasty
Diagnostic Evaluation: Thorough assessment using imaging and diagnostic tests to identify the severity and location of blockages.
Catheter Insertion: A catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin and guided to the affected artery.
Balloon Inflation: The balloon is inflated to widen the narrowed artery and restore blood flow.
Stent Placement: A stent is placed to keep the artery open and prevent future narrowing.
Post-Procedure Monitoring: Patients are observed closely to detect and manage any complications.
Benefits of Post-Bypass Angioplasty
Improved Blood Flow: Restores effective blood flow, alleviating symptoms like chest pain and enhancing heart function.
Symptom Relief: Helps patients regain their quality of life by reducing symptoms such as shortness of breath and fatigue.
Lower Risk of Future Heart Events: Reduces the likelihood of heart attacks, arrhythmias, and repeat surgeries.
Risks of Post-Bypass Angioplasty
While generally safe, the procedure does carry some risks:
Infection: Though rare, infection can occur at the catheter insertion site.
Bleeding: Minor bleeding is common, but significant bleeding may require medical attention.
Allergic Reaction: Some patients may react to the contrast dye used during the procedure.
Post-Procedure Care and Follow-Up
Recovery after post-bypass angioplasty requires adherence to medical advice and regular follow-ups:
Medication Compliance: Take all prescribed medications as directed by the cardiologist.
Lifestyle Maintenance: Continue with recommended lifestyle changes to prevent further complications.
