One should die young in old age


 One should be remain active each day of our life and not die old in old age, said Padma Shri & Dr. BC Roy National Awardee Dr. KK Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India and Vice-Chairman World Fellowship of Religions.
 
 He was delivering the key note address at Om Shanti Retreat Centre, Pataudi Road, Manesar during 10th National Summit on Stress Management and Workshop on ‘How to be Healthy and Happy’ organised by Heart Care foundation of India in association with Prajapati Brahmkumari Aishwarya Vidyalaya and World Fellowship of Religions.

In another seminar on ‘Life After Death’ organised by the Foundation at IMA House, Dr. Aggarwal in conversation with Swami Parmananda Bharati said that all hospitals and medical establishments should have both a humor room as well as a prayer room. The dead body and the dying person should both be respected as it is only the physical body which dies and not the mind, intellect, ego and soul.

The aim of life should be to continue living after one’s physical body has died and that is only possible by doing positive Karmas.

Dr. Aggarwal said that the fact that we did not get moksha or liberation in our last birth means that some sufferings still remained for us to bear and the very purpose of our present birth is to face those sufferings. We should face them with happiness and not with sorrow. By doing positive karmas, we can not only neutralize our karmas of the past birth but also the bad karmas from birth till date.

In their introductory remarks, Prof. Uma Devi, Formerly at Delhi University, and Prof. Sunil Kumar, Hindi Scholar, said that the very purpose of life is to earn righteously to perform one’s Dharma with a desire to achieve inner happiness.

#AskDrKK: What are the risk factors of heart diseases in the young?


#DrKKAnswers: Young  patients with heart attack usually have multiple risk factors. 90% of them have one or more traditional risk factors. Cigarette smoking is the most common and most modifiable risk factor in the young. It is seen in 65-92% young patients compared to 24-58% patients older than 45 years of age. Younger patients with heart diseases more often have a family history of premature heart disease. Almost 41% of them will have this history. 

#AskDrKK : What is the incidence of heart disease in young?

#DrKKAnswers: The data comes from International US autopsy based study published in the Journal Circulation of 760 young victims of unnatural death occurring between the age of 15 to 34. Advance coronary blockages were seen in 2% of men and zero percent in women aged 15-29 years. An advance disease was present in 20% of men and 8% of women aged 30 and 34 years respectively. 19% of men and 8% of women had more than 40% narrowing of the left coronary artery. This incidence represents data of silent heart disease in young people. The data from India is not available.
