Hypertension : side effect of a conventional businessman's life...
Swarna, ex- IT professional of 11 years staying in Bangalore shares an insightful testimony of her father about how the Wellness Quotient community helped father to lower down BP levels and reduce hypertension. Her father has been suffering from this issue from 20-25 years with medication. The problem was the side effects of the medication like sleeplessness. Swarna emotionally recounts the struggles and horrifying moments that she has seen her father go through along with her 7 sibling as he was the only earning member of the family.
The reason: His stressful lifestyle due to running a business.
First time when he was diagnosed, his BP level was 300 – way above normal levels due to which doctor asked him to take immediate action. He was able to lower down his levels through medication but that led to side effects related to sleeping. During the time when Swarna was in Bangalore, she worked with the WQ Coaches and was able to refine her father’s diet and incorporate necessary lifestyle changes.
The approach of WQ community that food can be treated as medicine really attracted Swarna in following the guidance laid out by WQ coach. So, she burnt the midnight oil and went through multiple workshops to learn the different pillars of health with the sole aim of solving her father’s issue of sleeplessness. Though she faced initial resistance while guiding her father due to her IT background, Swarna was able to successfully impress her father about her new found expertise on holistic wellness involving combination of diet and nutrition. She is very happy now to note that her father of 78 years age leads a normal life with an active lifestyle and most importantly out of all medications like blood thinners, sleeping pills as well as to control high BP
