ECG And Treadmill Tests Not Useful To Check Heart Blockage.

Key learnings

1) ECG and treadmill tests are not useful to check heart blockage. CT coronary scan is a much better test which involves injecting a coloured liquid into the heart and checking flow within the heart. Doctors recommend angiography which is more complex

2) All oils are equally bad for health. Good quality oil only reduces the risk by a mere 2%

3) There are no symptoms of heart blockage until it reaches 80% blockage.

4) Every 10 seconds one person dies in India of a heart attack. It is very prevalent due to lifestyle and food

5) Non-veg food as well as milk and milk products (including Paneer, curd and ghee that Ayurveda recommends) are bad for the heart. If you have to take milk it has to be fat-free

6) There is no healthy heart oil. The government has banned ads that claim healthy hearts.

7) food ko taste oil se nahi masale se milta hai. Masala Paani se bhi bhuna Jaa sakta hai (watch in the video how to do zero oil cooking)

8) Dal, roti, rice, and millet have enough protein. No need for protein supplements or milk or non-veg for protein.  A research in Finland showed that when milk products and non-veg were stopped 85% reduction in heart problems was found.

9) if you are genetically prone to heart issues, mere exercise is not enough unless food habits are changed

10) heart blockage issues can be reversed with a diet program

11) Heart disease-related pain is different from other pains in that heart pain increases when walking and stops when you sit.

When Punjab Chief Minister's Son Was Paraded On Underwear

Year, 1959, Place Amritsar. Some Indian Army Officers & their wives went to the Railway Station to see off one of their colleagues. Some goons made lewd remarks against the women & tried to molest them. The Army Officers chased the goons who took shelter in a nearby Cinema Theatre. The matter was reported to Commanding Officer Col Jyothi Mohan Sen. On learning about the incident, the Col ordered the Cinema Hall to be surrounded by troops. All the goons were dragged out, the leader of the goons was so heady and drunk with power; he was none other than the son of Chief Minister of Punjab, Pratap Singh Kairon, a close associate of the then PM, Jawahar Lal Nehru. All the goons were stripped to their underwear, paraded in the streets of Amritsar & later interned in the Cantonment. The next day, the Chief Minister became furious & tried to release his son from Indian Army's incarceration. Do you know what happened? His vehicle was not allowed to go into the Cantonment a...

Countries with Surplus Budgets

*By Dr. Devan A budget surplus is one of the clearest signals of fiscal discipline, economic prudence, and long-term stability in governance. While many nations run chronic deficits, there remain countries that stand apart, demonstrating to the world that living within one’s means is not only possible but advantageous. A budget surplus occurs when a government’s revenues exceed its expenditures over a fiscal period. This provides room for investment in infrastructure, health, education, and sovereign wealth funds, while also acting as a shield against future economic downturns. In this essay, I will explore which countries currently maintain budget surpluses, why they succeed in doing so, what structural characteristics enable this, and what lessons deficit-ridden nations may derive from their example. Defining the Budget Surplus A government raises money primarily through taxes, duties, royalties, and state-owned enterprise dividends. Against this revenue, it spends on public wages, d...

World-renowned Cartoonist BG Gujjarappa says: My Best is Yet to Come

Many people are in the fond practice of complaining every now and then that they hardly get any time to pursue their passions. Maybe, they could be genuine in their own ways, but never ever in the case of the veteran artist, political cartoonist, caricaturist, children’s illustrator, and also into multimedia, Banagere Gangaiah Gujjarappa. Perhaps BG Gujjarappa or Gujjar as he is popularly well-known is a household name to readers of Newspapers, Tabloids, Periodicals, and a variety of books for several decades. Hemavathi connection: Sexagenarian BG Gujjarappa (03 June 1955), belongs to Doddabanagere village in the hitherto drought-prone Sira Taluk of Tumakuru district. Doddabanagere also happens to be the last village of Sira Taluk bordering Hemavathi village, an artist’s paradise in the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh. The Siddeshwara Temple is renowned for the four famous Shiva shrines as Lord Shiva appears in the human form, like in seated yoga posture, deep in meditation etc. q...
