Change of Life

This is e-mail received from a person working in a Software Company Dear colleagues, I am working in Blore Software City .... I wanted to share an incident of my life with you, hoping that it may be an eye opener to you so that you can live more years.   On 27th October afternoon, I had severe heart attack symptom and I was rushed to the hospital.   After reaching to the hospital, the doctors prescribed a test called angiogram. This test is basically to identify blood flow of heart arteries. When they finished the test they found a 94% block in the main artery.    At this point, I wanted to share my living style, which has caused this block in my heart arteries. Please see the below points of my life style, if any of these points are part of your life style then you are at risk, please change yourselves.   1. I was not doing any physical exercise for more than 10 years , not even walking 30 minutes a day for years. 2.     My food timings are 11:00 AM Breakfast or no Breakfast, 3:00 PM      to 4:00 PM Lunch and dinner at 11:00 PM to 12:00 AM. 3.     Sleeping in very odd timings, going to bed between 12:00 AM and       3:00 AM. Waking up at between 9:00 AM and 10:30AM ....... Some       times spending sleepless nights. 4.    I used to eat heavily because of long gaps between lunch and      dinner and I used to make sure that Non-Veg is available most of      the time, there were times when I did survey on city hotels to find      delicious Non-Veg dishes. I was never interested in vegetable and      healthier food. 5.     Above all I was chain smoker from years. 6.     My father passed away due to heart problems, and the doctors say      the heart problems are usually genetic. Once they identified the major block they have done immediately a procedure called angioplasty along with 2 Stints, mean they will insert a foreign body into the heart arteries and open the blocked area of arteries.    I learnt from the doctors that 60% people will die before reaching the hospital,20% people will die in the process of recovering from heart attack and only 20% will survive . In my case, I was very lucky to be part of the last 20%. Doctors instructions: 1.. Need to have physical exercise for minimum of 45 minutes daily. 2. Eat your food at perfect timings, like how you eat during your    school days. Eat in small quantities more times and have lot of    vegetables and boiled food, try to avoid fry items and oily food. Fish    is good than other non-vegetarian food. 3. Sleep for 8 hours a day, this count should complete before sun    rising. 4. Stop smoking.. 5. Genetic problems, we cannot avoid but we can get away from it by     having regular checkups. 6. Find a way to get relived from the stress (Yoga, Meditation etc).   So I urge you all to please avoid getting into this situation, it is in your hands to turn the situation up side down, by just planning / changing your life style, by following simple  points above.
