Working non-stop could be the ladder to a promotion and a host of health problems...

In India, to a very large extent, men are still considered the bread-winners of the family. And as most of the men reach their 30s, they noticeably begin to look much older than their actual age. While women still manage to maintain their beauty and health, men start developing a paunch, their hair begins to grey and many also start experiencing major hair loss. Makes one wonder if men tend to neglect their health and ignore the warning signs, or whether they are simply less aware than women. “Both. Also, men are more prone to health problems because they easily resort to drugs and alcohol. I’ve had cases where wives have come to ask for help for their husbands. But unless the person who needs help does not visit, I cannot even recommend anything! Men, by nature, are more hesitant in taking medical help. Also, women socialise more, talk more and show their emotions more than men, which helps busting their stress. And this is also one reason for them having a longer life-span”, explained Dr. Singh.

Time travelling to a relaxed stress-free world is unfortunately not possible. The world stops for none and there’s little one can do but to keep coping-up with the changing times, but one must remember that this must not be at the cost of one’s health. It isn’t just coincidence that one of the most popular adages about health is – ‘Health is Wealth’!
