News India Live, Digital Desk: Heart Disease: A new word is becoming very popular among today’s youth – Hustle Culture. This simply means, working all the time, always being productive and running behind success. From the first tea of the morning to sleeping late at night, only one thing rotates in the mind – work. Slogans like “Rise and Grind”, “Sleep is for the Weak” are promoting this culture on social media. It looks very good to see this race of success, but have we ever thought that we are paying its price from our health?
In India, especially in big cities, this ‘Hasle Culture’ is now taking the form of an epidemic, which is quietly pushing us into a gap of poor nutrition and lifestyle diseases.
How is ‘Hasle Culture’ killing?
- No time to eat: When you weigh every minute from work, the first sacrifice is given breakfast. In the affair of meetings, lunch is with fast food at the desk itself and ate what he got on reaching home late at night. This culture has removed things like “food on time” and “balanced diet” from our dictionary. We are forgetting the difference between filling the stomach and taking nutrition.
- There is no ‘time’ for exercise: “Waking up early in the morning and who goes to the gym, we will do more work better than this.” This thinking has become common. Physical activity has become almost zero due to work pressure and long working hours. The body is rusting and we are happy to consider it a sign of success.
- Tension has become ‘normal’: Constant work pressure, the compulsion to always be connected and the stress to complete the target … All this is increasing the level of cortisol in our body. This increased stress is not only making us mentally ill, but it is also directly inviting diabetes, high blood pressure and heart diseases.
A dangerous result: India is sick
There was a time when diabetes and heart diseases were considered problems after the age of 50. Today, 25-30 years old youth are in the grip of these diseases. This cocktail of poor food, lack of exercise and excessive stress is making India the ‘capital of lifestyle related diseases’.
It is important to understand that it is not wrong to work hard and to be ambitious. It is wrong to run indiscriminately behind success by applying your health at stake. The real success is that which also has a good career and good health. The next time you think of skipping your lunch for work, just ask yourself a question – “Is this success more valuable than the health I am losing?”
