Health of an organization depends also on the health of the people working in it and that of their families. Executive Health & Stress Management Programmes are a must for all organizations, companies and training institutions.

WHY THESE PROGRAMMES ARE ESSENTIAL ?

The fact that the professional output of an Executive directly and significantly

depends on his health and that of his family, can hardly be denied. During the past two decades, the incidence of High Blood pressure, Diabetes M, Hypercholesterolaemia and Coronary artery disease has considerably gone up, adversely affecting the quality of life, specially that of the top and middle level executives occupying pivotal positions in the industry and in the administration.

"Physical Health has a lot of bearing on Mental Stress" is the other side of coin, is being dealt with, in these programmes. Even minor problems like headache due to sinusitis, nasal and respiratory allergies, migraine, back and neck pains due to Spondylosis- drastically affects the work efficiency of executives. Added to these- sleeplessness, chronic digestive problems like - hyperacidity, dyspepsia, amoebiasis, irritable bowel syndrome, obesity, ostioarthritis etc., are the other common problems invariably seen in the people. It is being seen that by the time a man or a woman crosses the age of 35 years, suffers from atleast 4 to 6 problems of the list of the diseases mentioned above.

Coronary angioplasty, PTCA and insertion of Stent, coronary bypass surgeries are temporary measures which educated people do not know. PTCA fails in majority of cases within 1 to 6 months. Venous grafts in bypass surgeries get blocked in 1 month to 6 years period. This is a well known fact in the medical field. What is not known to educated people is that the above procedures are useful only in a very limited number of cases to tide over the crisis as a palliative measure.

This is where the Dietary discretion in Health and Disease, suitable Yogic exercises, abstinence from certain Habits & Addictions and right mental attitude personal professional, and social life will ultimately go in a long way in improving the Health and reducing the Stress of today's Executives.

"Preventive maintenance is easier, less expensive and wiser than breakdown maintenance" is also applicable to Human bodies where the spare parts are scarce and there is a problem of rejection too.!

In the words of a famous philosopher and well known writer Alexis Carrel-

"...To live is not sufficient., We need also the joy of living; and the joy of life requires Health. Above all, we need the health which embraces the body, the mind and the soul" is applicable to all of us.
