Couple of days back, DD National was airing an interview with Dr. S. K. Sarin. I'd seen his interview earlier once and was very fascinated by his ideas. But this time, I wanted to learn more about him. He's a specialist yet his advices are simplistic. His humbleness betrays his achievements. I'll try to list down some memorable quotes from his interview:
Till 40 years, health is the sole responsibility of the individual (or guardians in case of minors). Doctors are only responsible for treating sickness.He is against the pill-popping culture. He's asking people to keep a fit and active lifestyle.
Drink tea or coffee for taste or enjoyment - not as a remedy for some ailment.He learnt this from another 65 year old gentleman who asked him to go for a walk after a night-out when he had asked for coffee.
Fever is a good (not long lasting) - it's an indication that your body is fighting the ailment.
People are proud of their house, cars etc. and have routine maintenance for them. But they don't treat their body the same way.
Parents are unduly worried about their kids not eating. What they should rather worry is whether s/he had a proper bowel movement!! If bowel movement is proper, one will definitely be hungry.
