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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

Heart Health for Different Age Groups: How Care Changes with Age

Heart health is essential at every age, but our needs change as we go through life. Paying attention to age-specific heart care can make a significant difference in keeping our hearts strong. This guide will walk you through what each age group should focus on to maintain a healthy heart.

Children and Teenagers (0–18 Years)

The foundation for heart health begins early in life. Childhood is the ideal time to establish healthy habits. Kids and teenagers should be encouraged to stay active, limit their screen time, and eat a balanced diet full of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. While heart disease in young people is rare, habits developed now can affect health in adulthood. Parents can help by setting a good example and involving kids in physical activities like sports or family walks.

Young Adults (19–30 Years)

As young adults begin to take control of their own lifestyle choices, it’s essential to build on the habits formed in childhood. Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking are key. Stress can also start to play a bigger role at this stage, whether from school, work, or social pressures. Learning ways to manage stress, like meditation or hobbies, can be beneficial for heart health. It’s also a good idea to have cholesterol and blood pressure checked periodically to catch any early signs of heart issues.

Adults in Their 30s and 40s

For adults in their 30s and 40s, heart disease risk factors may start to appear, especially for those with a family history of heart problems. At this stage, it’s important to get regular health checkups that include blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar tests. Lifestyle choices such as limiting alcohol, staying active, and following a heart-friendly diet are crucial.

Many adults in this age range have busy lives balancing work, family, and personal obligations, which can lead to poor lifestyle choices. Stress management remains important, along with prioritizing sleep, as sleep quality affects heart health. If you’re in Bhubaneswar and looking for guidance, the Best cardiologist doctor in Bhubaneswar can provide expert advice on heart-healthy practices.

Middle-Aged Adults (50s and 60s)

As people enter their 50s and 60s, the risk of heart disease increases. This is a time to get serious about heart care if you haven’t already. Regular screenings are essential, especially for blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes, as all can impact heart health. Following a diet low in saturated fat, salt, and added sugars becomes even more important, along with maintaining an active lifestyle.

Weight management and regular physical activity are key in this stage, as they help to prevent the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries. Strength training, in addition to cardio exercises, can help maintain muscle and bone health. Many adults in this age group also experience increased stress or anxiety, which can affect the heart. Learning relaxation techniques and reaching out to loved ones for support can help maintain emotional and heart health.

Seniors (70 and Above)

For seniors, heart health should focus on maintaining function and quality of life. As we age, blood vessels and the heart may become less flexible, and the risk of heart issues like high blood pressure, heart failure, and arrhythmias can increase. Regular checkups with healthcare providers are critical for monitoring heart function and addressing any early signs of problems.

Staying active remains important, though activity levels may need adjustment. Light exercises like walking, stretching, and yoga are often good choices. Seniors should also be cautious about their diet, paying attention to sodium intake to help manage blood pressure. If you’re in Bhubaneswar, consulting the Best cardiologist doctor in Bhubaneswar can help seniors develop a heart care plan that suits their unique needs.

Final Thoughts

Heart care should evolve as we grow older, but the basics remain: eat well, stay active, and get regular checkups. Small changes in diet, lifestyle, and stress management can help keep your heart strong at any age. Taking charge of your heart health now will benefit you in the years to come, no matter your age.

Cardiologists and You: Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Heart

Your heart is the engine that keeps your body functioning efficiently, and good heart health is critical for general wellness. In today’s fast-paced world, heart-related diseases are becoming more common due to lifestyle factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, and increased stress. However, with the right guidance from a trusted cardiologist, many heart conditions can be prevented or managed effectively. If you're looking for expert advice, finding the Best Cardiologist in Pune or a reliable heart clinic in Pune can be a game-changer in maintaining a healthy heart.

Why Should You Consult a Cardiologist?

A cardiologist is a medical specialist who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac diseases. Cardiologists play an important role in cardiovascular health, from controlling high blood pressure to performing sophisticated heart procedures. If you experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats, it’s important to consult a cardiologist in Pune as soon as possible. Early detection can significantly improve your prognosis and prevent future complications.

Even if you don't experience any symptoms, regular check-ups with a cardiologist can help catch risk factors like high cholesterol or hypertension before they turn into serious issues. Many heart conditions, such as atherosclerosis or arrhythmias, develop gradually, often without obvious signs. This is why proactive care is key.

Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Heart

Whether you're already seeing a cardiologist or just want to keep your heart healthy, these tips can help:

1. Eat a Heart-Healthy Diet

A well-balanced diet is fundamental to heart health. Focus on consuming nutrient-rich foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats Reduce your consumption of processed meals, sugar-filled beverages, and too much salt. A heart-healthy diet helps in controlling cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and weight.

Foods like salmon, nuts, avocado, and olive oil are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for your heart. A visit to a heart clinic in Pune can offer you individualized dietary guidance specific to your heart health if you're not sure what foods to include.

2. Exercise Regularly

One of the greatest things you can do for your heart is to engage in regular physical activity. At least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of intense activity each week are advised by the American Heart Association. This can involve swimming, cycling, jogging, or walking. Engaging in physical activity can help control weight, regulate blood pressure, and lower the risk of heart disease.

3. Manage Stress

Chronic stress can negatively impact your heart by increasing your blood pressure and heart rate. While it's impossible to eliminate stress, learning to manage it is key. Consider stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or simply taking time for hobbies that make you feel relaxed.

4. Get Regular Check-ups

Regular health check-ups with a cardiologist in Pune are essential, especially if you have a family history of heart disease or other risk factors such as high cholesterol, diabetes, or smoking. Regular tests, such as cholesterol screening, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and blood pressure monitoring, can help detect problems early and allow for timely interventions.

5. Quit Smoking and Limit Alcohol Intake

One of the main causes of heart disease is smoking. It raises your risk of heart attack and stroke by damaging your arteries and lowering the amount of oxygen in your blood. Quitting smoking can dramatically improve your heart health. Additionally, limiting alcohol consumption to moderate levels—defined as up to one drink per day for women and two for men—can lower your risk of heart problems.

By following these tips and consulting the Best Cardiologist in Pune, you can take the necessary steps to prevent heart disease and live a longer, healthier life.

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.

Post-Bypass Angioplasty In Chennai

Understanding Post-Bypass Angioplasty

Post-bypass angioplasty, also referred to as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), is a medical procedure designed to address blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries after bypass surgery. During this procedure, a catheter with a balloon at its tip is inserted into the affected artery, where the balloon is inflated to compress the plaque or blockage and restore blood flow. Stenting is commonly employed to keep the artery open, effectively enhancing blood flow to the heart muscle, alleviating symptoms, and reducing the risk of future cardiac complications.

Causes Leading to Post-Bypass Angioplasty

Several factors can necessitate post-bypass angioplasty, including:

Restenosis: This is the most common cause, where the treated artery narrows again over time due to the body’s healing response, often involving the proliferation of smooth muscle cells.

Lifestyle Factors: Unhealthy lifestyle choices such as smoking, a high-fat diet, insufficient physical activity, and chronic stress can contribute to recurrent arterial blockages after angioplasty.

Diabetes: Individuals with diabetes are at a higher risk, as the condition can accelerate atherosclerosis and impair the healing process.

Why Choose Dr. M. Kathiresan for Post-Bypass Angioplasty in Chennai

Selecting a highly qualified cardiologist is crucial for successful post-bypass angioplasty. Dr. M. Kathiresan, a renowned interventional cardiologist in Chennai, possesses extensive expertise in performing this procedure. Here are some compelling reasons to consider Dr. M. Kathiresan for your post-bypass angioplasty needs:

Minimally Invasive Techniques: Dr. Kathiresan specializes in advanced techniques that ensure a faster recovery for patients.

Comprehensive Care: From initial consultations to post-operative follow-ups, he provides personalized care throughout the treatment journey.

State-of-the-Art Technology: Utilizing the latest medical equipment, Dr. Kathiresan ensures that each procedure is performed safely and effectively.

Treatment Approach Post-Angioplasty

After post-bypass angioplasty, a comprehensive treatment plan is vital for optimal recovery and long-term heart health. Key components include:

Medications:

Antiplatelet agents: Such as aspirin or clopidogrel to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of restenosis.

Statins: To lower cholesterol and mitigate atherosclerosis risk.

Beta-blockers: To manage blood pressure and reduce heart workload.

ACE inhibitors or ARBs: To control blood pressure and enhance heart function.

Nitrates: To manage angina.

Lifestyle Modifications:

Smoking Cessation: Stopping smoking is essential for maintaining heart health.

Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight reduces heart disease risk.

Stress Management: Finding effective stress-reduction strategies, such as yoga or meditation, is essential.

Cardiac Rehabilitation:

Structured exercise programs and educational support aid recovery and promote heart health.

Psychosocial Support:

Emotional support from family, friends, or mental health professionals can be beneficial.

Cost of Post-Bypass Angioplasty in Chennai

The cost of post-bypass angioplasty in Chennai typically ranges from ₹2 lakh to ₹4 lakh. Factors influencing the cost include:

Type of Stent: Drug-eluting stents tend to be pricier; however, they are effective in lowering the risk of re-blockage when compared to bare-metal stents.

Hospital Amenities: Premium facilities may charge higher fees for procedures and post-operative care.

Health Insurance: Most insurance plans cover a significant portion of angioplasty expenses, helping to alleviate financial concerns.

Patients are encouraged to consult hospitals for detailed package information and insurance coverage options.

Overview of the Procedure

Diagnostic Evaluation: Comprehensive assessments through imaging and tests to identify post-bypass issues.

Angioplasty Technique: A catheter is inserted into the blocked artery, and a balloon is inflated to widen it, with potential stent placement to maintain blood flow.

Guidance Technology: Advanced imaging aids precise navigation during the procedure.

Recovery and Monitoring: Patients are closely monitored post-procedure for recovery and potential complications.

Benefits of Post-Bypass Angioplasty

Post-bypass angioplasty offers several advantages, including:

Improved Blood Flow: The primary goal is to restore blood flow through narrowed or blocked grafts, alleviating symptoms like chest pain and enhancing heart function.

Symptom Relief: Patients can experience significant relief from chest pain and shortness of breath, improving their overall quality of life.

Reduced Risk of Future Heart Events: By enhancing blood flow and minimizing blockages, the procedure can lower the risk of future cardiac events, such as heart attacks or the need for repeat bypass surgery.

Risks Associated with Post-Bypass Angioplasty

Although post-bypass angioplasty is generally safe, potential risks include:

Infection: A rare risk at the catheter insertion site.

Bleeding: Minor bleeding may occur at the insertion site, but severe cases are uncommon.

Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may react to the contrast dye used during the procedure.

Steps Involved in Post-Bypass Angioplasty

Catheter Insertion: A catheter with a balloon is inserted through the groin or wrist and guided to the blocked artery.

Balloon Expansion: The catheter's balloon is inflated to expand the artery, facilitating improved blood flow.

Stent Insertion: A stent is typically positioned to maintain the artery's openness and reduce the risk of future blockages.

Post-Procedure Monitoring: Patients are monitored for complications and given medications to prevent clot formation.

This minimally invasive approach provides a quicker recovery compared to repeat bypass surgery.

Conclusion

Post-bypass angioplasty in Chennai is a crucial step in managing patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass surgery. It requires diligent monitoring and follow-up to ensure the procedure's success and the patient's long-term health. Adhering to prescribed medications and lifestyle changes is vital for maintaining the patency of grafts and preventing complications. Regular check-ups, including imaging studies and stress tests, are essential for evaluating cardiac health. Patient education and support play a significant role in promoting a heart-healthy lifestyle. For more details: https://drkathiresan.com/angioplasty-treatment-in-chennai
