The health and wellness column

I am an avid reader of the health and wellness column which is presented on page 27 of Asian Voice. It is informative and is presented in a way that even a layman can understand and grasp the contents.

My congratulations to the author for the brilliant account of what happens before a heart attack in last week’s AV. This is very important for us Asians who are more prone to heart disease and diabetes. I am particularly taken by the photo of the lady doctor with a stethoscope in one hand and a model of a human heart in the other!

As far as Gujarat Samachar is concerned, nothing can beat its crossword puzzle in the “Hinke Betha” page. It feeds the brain and stimulates the grey cells which is particularly necessary in these days and age with more people being diagnosed with dementia and Alzhaimer’s disease. How appropriate it is in this day and age when, because we live longer with the aid of modern medicine, if we do not regularly exercise our brains, we are sure to succumb to various mental illnesses.
