An ounce of prevention

Mahatma Gandhi once said: It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver .
While I agree with this quote, many of us are still in poor health because of a hectic and imbalanced life as we work hard to make money while overlooking our wellness.
Once a silent disease strikes, we end up using our savings to pay for medical bills instead.
Approaching World Health Day, which falls on April 7 every year, we can review how we have invested in our health the real wealth.
Do we eat a balanced diet? Do we regularly work out? Do we go to bed before 11pm?

Ramanathan Iyer, who passed away in Pretoria on March 17, had this distinction
Ramanathan Iyer, a retired Colonel of the South African Air Force and a Wing Commander in the Indian Air Force till 1996, lived an extraordinary life and passed away at the age of 69 on March 17 doing what he loved best: flying a military aeroplane. I first came across Rama, as he was popularly called in the IAF, in June 1981 as a cadet at the Air Force Academy in Dundigal. Accosting me one morning in the cafeteria, he said, “You seem to be a serious bloke. Do you know your vital actions before take-off rattle them out and you can go.”
