Exercise as Therapy

Today I did my first consultation at the Urban diagnostics center. I had to counsel a senior citizen on nutrition for diabetes. This lady had come with her daughter and grandson all the way from Kerala. It was fun especially with the people calling me 'doctor' and then watch their faces change when i told them Im not a doctor! I am happy though that I got to bridge a huge a gap between the medical field and personal trainer.

It would be good to remember the benefits of exercise as a therapy.

1) Exercise improves your health

2) Makes you feel better.

3) Increases energy

4) Affects your appettite so that you can eat healthy

5) Improves your Physiology

6) Improves your posture

7) Burns out fat

8) Promotes muscle gain

9) Improves your immunity system

10) Prevents lifestyle related diseases or even helps reverse them.

This is just a small lift but can go a long way. Remember staying consistent with your training will work.          

If you are interested in a consultation or trainng sesson please do not hesistate to contact me.

What is Preventive Medicine?


Preventive medicine is a proactive approach by a person to keep themselves healthy and avoid disease.

Most people think they should live with sickness and for different reasons- the biggest one being
they are taught that it's a way of life and there is nothing they can do about it. What they don't know
is that it is a CHOICE they have. Sometimes even if they do know they are too lazy or give excuses to do anything about it. They would rather listen to the lies of media and the billion dollar
pharmaceutical market.

The truth is that the 4 pillars of a healthy lifestyle are more than enough to avoid sickness and disease.The body has been designed to have a natural healing and immune ability. All that is needed is to know how it can be made possible. This is not to say we will not age or we will not die someday.


Preventive Medicine is a much better option than visiting a doctor with a lifestyle related disease and finally lying on an operating table.


Follow the 4 pillars of a health and enter a fitness lifestyle. The returns and benefits will be far greater than what you thought it would be.
