I asked my young 94 yr old patient the secret of his longevity & good health,this is what he had to say … (Posted with his permission)
@DrParulSharma1 With all due respect to him ( may he live longer ), I do think he is amongst those who won the genetic lottery just like my grandmother and her siblings...they all lived into their 90s with my grandmother still alive...hale and hearty.. she still consumes tobacco by the way :)
@DrParulSharma1 I am highly impressed Doc and at 52 I wake up at 5:30 and go for an hour morning walk. My question is : is it these days advisable to indulge in morning walk before 8 AM in Delhi view severe pollution?
@DrParulSharma1 Thanks for sharing. Got reminded of my father who would have surely made it to 90 but damn Covid 😔. My parents too were very regular with their morning walk, even if it meant walking inside the house during rains or winter. They made it to the mid/late 80s.
@DrParulSharma1 Lovely! Wish him a healthy and long life!
@DrParulSharma1 Great public health message, Dr Sharma. So important prevention be prioritised.
