Madurai Health - When was the last time you went for Doctor check up? - Diabetes Care Treatment Control

When was the last time you went for Doctor check up? When was the last time you did blood testing, urine testing and scanning?

It is advised by the medical community that every individual gets checked up from the age 30, every year. It is true fact and you can control lot of things, if you already come to know anything in your body.

I am only 31 years old and I came to know that I have high blood sugar in my body. I could not believe that and it was a surprise. That is how our health status is in!

One of the reasons is because of genetics - that is my parents have a history of diabetes etc., Another reason is my lifestyle - a software engineer's lifestyle. Enough money to eat outside, eat non-vegetarian most of the times - preferred dish would be non-veg against a vegetarian ones, sedentary lifestyle - no exercise and not even a necessary walking - since have vehicles everywhere. there is no reason for me to walk. Decent amount of stress.

These all lead to my health condition. As such Diabetes is not a disease, but it is a condition, which can be controlled and no problem - it cannot be cured, but it can be controlled with proper diet, exercise and medication, following the doctor consultation.

H1N1 cases in Madurai - Swine Flu?

As per the statistics recently taken, Tamil Nadu tops the list of cases from every state out of our country (India).

Out of 100 H1N1 cases, ours is around 25 cases. In that list, there are many border line cases from Madurai, which are not confirmed actually.

Recently a nurse from Government Rajaji Hospital died due to a different reason, but the doctors doubt that there are symptoms of Swine flu (H1N1) in this case. So, it could be a border case of H1N1. This has happened in Madurai.

Overall, whereever you are - just be careful with what you eat, wash your hands before eating, and be clean. Also, do all other precautionary measures for avoiding catching with H1N1 virus!

Aerobics in Madurai - Ladies Fitness and Gym

Sponsored by Ladies Gym Madurai - Sana Aerobics

There is a good demand for Aerobics and Ladies Gym in Madurai.
So many have enquired about it to Madurai247.com.

So, here are some pointers -

Aerobics are a set of exercises that utilise maximum amount of oxygen. They step-up calorific demand and facilitate the break-down of stored fat cells. Researchers term such exercises as `cardiovascular training' because they strengthen the heart and improve overall health. Cardio works the largest muscle group in the human body, the thighs, and increases calorific expenditure. When a person extends cardio sessions beyond 20 minutes, the body realises that the energy coming from blood sugar and muscle glycogen (a by-product of water and carbohydrates stored in the muscle cells) is insufficient to offset the demands of the workout. Hence, it is forced to stop using the glycogen and breakdown fat cells. Cardio sessions trigger fat loss only if a person trains non-stop for 25 to 30 minutes.
