Its a good that several articles have been dedicated to Atul, but they simply miss to go beyond one word citation on "died unexpectedly of a massive brain haemorrhage". Should not they try to pull the attention of public why such well established musician died all of sudden? What made him the victim of "massive brain haemorrhage"? If this can attract more attention and we have more discussion on "massive brain haemorrhage" and possible heart attack on busy peoples like him, we might save a few lives and these lives might be of the peoples involved in music business itself. I think its time to spare a few pages or columns on "brain haemorrhage" and "heart attack" that are usually caused by "urban diseases: BP, Sugar and cholestrol", because peoples who are in white collar jobs or in urban have no real work related to muscles and spend more time on chair or sofa, such that our body and DNA chains made for constantly moving purposes don't have enough execercises to dispose off the Salt, FAT and Sugar. ...... I think that if mass media misses this time to write something on this topic, we might have to confront another untimely death of another important person and chain might continue to exist...... For youngs / adults above 30 years old, if you are in white collar job or don't have at least 20 minutes walk each day and you find your Body Mass Index more than 25 (BMI= Body weight in Kg divided by Square of your height in Meter). If your BMI goes beyond 29, think of dieting and excercise and reducing it to 25. For sports player BMS is not that important, but peoples with Obesity and BMI greater than 29, you are in high risk zone and BP + Cholestrol + Sugar might trigger BH or HA ....... Example: Body weight 63 kg Height = 1.6m Height Squared = 1.6x1.6 = 2.56 sq. m BMI = 63. /2.56 = 25 kg/sq. m BMI should not be less than 21, that kind of excessive slimness is als not good for health. In Kathmandu, the way upper middle class peoples eat and drink, and rarely walk can be said to be in high risk zone for BH and HA. I wish the Nepali Newspaper (main newspapers) spend sometime to explain why, how and when the BH and HA can happen to you irrespective of your age and gender. ............. If you appointments and project deadlines are approaching, then check your BP, cholestrol and Sugar. When we are under those circumstances, we sleep less number of hours, and when you sleep less hours, then to back up your body towards hardwork, we consume more carbohydrates and take more fats or cholestrol high red meats (in Nepal: khasi ko masu), do not move at all, this results increase in body weight and cholestrol level, less sleep means sudden increase in BP ...... this can lead to BH and HA. A relative of mine who is now in Japan, was with these circumstances and he was alone so did not have enough motivation to make balanced diet, so he said he cooked daal bhat tarkari and prepared fried egg every day in the morning and evening around the time he was supposed to go for annual health check up. Then, the medical report showed excessively high cholestrol. So, after 30 reduce the intake of egg, after 50, stop eating any thing that has relatively large portion of kukhura ko egg. I remember when we had party with a Japanese people last year about their program in Nepal, and when foods were served with some part of egg, none of the japanese consumed a single peace, because they are all around 50s, and they gave the same reason: Cholestrol content. Indeed, annual health check up against BP, Cholestrol, sugar and stomach: stool and urine can help you avoid fatal health problems. My former boss even suvived Cancer after it was detected in early stage, and it was detected during the annual check ups. Those who write stuffs on such health awareness things, they should also stress on annual health check ups, they are really helpful and this is what I am missing here in US. In Nepal, its affordable for upper middle class peoples, as more and more doctors are graduating and more and more labs are opening and they can have special plans for such periodic checks. In Japan, the employers always force their employees to go through such annual health check ups. GP
