If you find yourself out of breath and out of mind, listen to your body.

Heed the following signs: shortness of breath, constant headache, persistent pain, stomach disorders, palpitations, dizziness, pale or discolored skin, see-saw weight loss/gain, exhaustion, constipation, general weakness, tremors.

If you have experienced the above-mentioned conditions:

1. Stop whatever it is you are doing. Take the example of Mandy, a 40-year old businessman. For years he had been experiencing mild palpitations. Coming from a family who has a history of diabetes and heart disease (his younger brother died a few years back of renal failure due to diabetes at the age of 30), he ignored the quality of his genes. While doctors say 70 percent of your body’s health is up to your genes, 30 percent is under your control. However, more studies have shown that the predisposition of your genes may be challenged by a healthy lifestyle.

Mandy didn’t do anything to improve his lifestyle. He had little exercise. By the time he reached his 40th birthday, he suffered his first heart attack.

2. See your doctor. Have a medical check-up.

3. Learn to do less work.
