Even though stomach flu or acute gastroenteritis is commonly benign and self-limited and subsides within a few days; it can knock you out for a few days and leave you extremely tired and weak. With your intestines attacked by the flu, one often manifests symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and even mild fever. Moreover, it can easily spread to another person. However, it can be protected against by taking a few preventive measures.

Practicing proper hand hygiene is the first measure that must be aggressively pursued. Hands must be rubbed for at least 15 seconds. Hand sanitizers containing minimum 60 percent alcohol should be used as frequently as possible. All exposed surfaces of the house should be cleaned using a bleach containing cleanser to kill all germs. It’s best to wear rubber gloves while cleaning. The cleaning rags should be then disposed of or sanitized with hot water and bleach before next use.

All raw food must be washed well before eating or cooking. If someone had contracted the infection, he/she should not cook or serve food to others for at least three to four days after the symptom has cleared. Finally, remember to quarantine the sick person to prevent spread or reoccurrence.

Apart from that we also take care of some of the most complex and malignant cases of heart and vascular disease. Numerous hospitals also forward their critical cases to us because of the advanced infrastructure, medical care and expertise available at our hospital. We strive for early diagnosis and preventive methods to nip the disease in the bud and even lower the risk of recurrence.

With both in-patient and out-patient facilities, we provide a unique blend of honest and personalized care, class-apart diagnosis and expert treatment under the eyes of top notch expertise. We also have an emergency wing ready 24/7 to take care of any urgent and emergent cases. Providing a unified service, we first invite all our patients to our general outdoor consultation and then advise specialized treatment as the case may be. Ultimately, we ensure the best cardiac care in the least expensive way.

Our nervous system is responsible for the ‘flight-or-fight’ response which gets triggered naturally in response to stress. This increases the level of stress hormones like cortisol. The direct impact of it is seen with the rise of blood sugar levels, blood pressure, rapid breathing, etc. If sustained for a long time, it can cause significant damage to the body.

Overproduction of cortisol hormone increases your sugar and fat cravings and leads you to have a larger portion of food. This phenomenon is called ‘emotional eating’. This also affects the metabolism and digestion of food. Consequently, one finds a severe weight gain and thus opens the door to various other diseases.

Though no clear-cut evidence has yet been established, studies indicate that people who live under stress are more prone to heart attacks than individuals who take steps to mitigate stress from their life.
