Avoiding stress leads to a healthier lifestyle

If there is only one point to good health and success, it is being positive, well-known Mumbai-based psychiatrist and self-help guru Dr Girish Patel said. Addressing a multinational audience that gathered to hear him at Dubai Police Officers' Club on Wednesday, Dr Patel explained how stress and tension makes people lose the balance between the obligations of daily life and other important areas such as harmonious relationships, inner peace and emotional well-being. The lecture was organised by Raja Yoga Centre in cooperation with the Community Service Department of Dubai Police. People seek money and ignore their health until they hit 50, and then they have to spend their money to regain their health, Dr Patel said in a lecture about holistic well-being in challenging times, which was attended by Indian Consul General Sanjay Varma, Dubai Police Officers and other dignitaries. "Most people are at a neutral health level. They are not ill, but are not completely healthy because they suffer from tension and stress and have an unhealthy lifestyle," he said. From / Gulf News
