Padmashri & Dr. B.C. Roy National Awardee, Dr. KK Aggarwal,
President, Heart Care Foundation of Indi a, said that out of 100% of
happiness, 90% is in one’s hands. 50% of it depends upon our past
experiences which one can reinvent and 40% on the choices we make. Only
10% is circumstantial and not in our hands.

Observe cereal fast 80 days a year
Talking to a gathering of 500 health professional, Padma Shri & Dr. B.C. Roy National Awardee, Dr. KK Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India, said that potbelly obesity is the new epidemic of the society, which is linked to diabetes, high blood pressure and heart blockages. The main culprit is eating carbohydrates in general and in particular refined carbohydrates, everyday. Our Vedic science advocates that one should observe 80 fasts in a year and these should involve not eating cereals. Over a period of time, we have stopped observing fasts and have shifted from carbohydrates to refined carbohydrate–based cereals.
Dr. Aggarwal further said that the ancient Friday’s Santoshi Mata Ka Vrat was meant for child bearing women so that they do not end up with anemia and protein deficiency. The vrat or fast involves eating Gur and Chana in a fasting state. Iron is better observed in fasting state. People have stopped observing Santoshi Mata Ka Vrat and also have stopped eating Gur and chana leading to anemia epidemic in the society.
Dr. Aggarwal further said that Vedic science has been advocating that one month in a year one should sunbathe near the river, which should involve exposing the body before the sun before 10 am or after 4pm. Not observing these principles of nature has lead to epidemic of Vitamin D deficiency in the society.
Dr. Aggarwal was speaking at a workshop on "How to be happy and healthy’ being organized by Heart Care Foundation of India with Bramkumaris at Pataudi Road, Manesar.
BK Sister Asha, Director ORC said that one of the principles of being happy is to observe non–violent communication involving three Cs – Do not condemn! Do not complain! and Do not criticize!
BK Sister Geeta, Director ORC said that if it is not possible to change the situation, one should change his interpretation to that situation.
BK Sister Sapna, Senior Rajyoga said that after the age of 25, one cannot change an adult, one should change oneself.
BK Brij Mohan, Secretary General said that by being happy, it is possible to regress heart blockages.

Mercury Is Hazardous To Health
World Earth Day organized at DPS Mathura Road
Flagging the World Earth Day Walk organized by Heart Care Foundation of India jointly with Delhi Public School , Mathura Road and Ministry of Earth Sciences, Military Secretary to the President of India- Lt. Gen. A.K. Bakshi, SM, VSM said that every school child should plant a tree to reduce the problem of global warming in the society.
Talking to a gathering of over one thousand children, Padmashri & Dr. B.C. Roy National Awardee, Dr. K K Aggarwal, President, Heart Care Foundation of India, said that one should not use mercury based thermometer and blood pressure instruments. They can be risky to life. Two thermometers are broken each year for every bed in a hospital. For 40,000 beds in Delhi alone, 80,000 thermometers get broken every year and the mercury of these thermometers enters the environment. Each thermometer contains ½ g of mercury meaning 4 kg of mercury is released in the environment every year only from breaking of thermometers in various hospitals in the city of Delhi .
Mercury is toxic and with active and chronic exposure, affects brain and kidney. Acute exposure can cause nausea, blurred vision, painful breathing, and excessive salivation. Chronic exposure can lead to high blood pressure, memory disturbance, vision disturbance, tremors and personality changes. Mercury can cross the blood brain barrier and affect the brain development in the child in the pregnant or lactating women.
Lt. Gen. Bakshi showed concern that in past few years, Delhi is experiencing differentiable shift in the climate like winters are squeezing with each passing year and temperatures staying over 45 degrees C for most part of the year. This scientists world over are attributing to increase in global temperatures. Unless the general public is sensitized and convinced to take measures/adopt environment friendly actions at their work places, in their homes; this trend of global warming cannot be arrested.
Mr. M.I. Hussain, Principal, DPS Mathura Road , said that unless preventive strategies are taken in this area, situation may worsen in the coming years.
Members of Management Committee of DPS Society and Parent Reps: from Nursery to Class XII were also present to celebrate the World Earth Day.
Over 500 school children participated in the walk and on-the-spot competition which included:
Children displayed the following placards and slogans:
1. Do not burn leaves and let them decompose.
2. Walking is the best medicine
3. The least amount of electricity one uses the better it is.
4. Plant trees to save the mother earth.
In addition inter school competitions (Painting, Poetry recitation, AD Mad) were also held.
