Recently my brother in law was unfortunate to get a heart attack. Can you imagine what is age is? Just 32. Can you guess why this happened to him? He says its a result of not having food on time.

Else he is perfect. He eats a lot but with at no fixed time. He is not a drinker nor a smoker, neither does he do drugs. So does not eating on time can lead to a heart attack. Well let me give you a brief picture of his last 7 years.

He was working as an insurance agent and used to work 24*7 to sell the policies. He did pretty descent there and after 3 years he got into another business and then back into the Finance with mutual funds and technical analysis. But the stress and race for money and get to the top remains the same. He used to travel on bike and usually used to skip the food. Last friday he consulted a doctor for chest pain and did the ECG work. Doctor advised him to get admitted but this hero left the hospital for home. The next day which was saturday he experienced severe chest pain but again ignored it as he had done the ECG later that day he also started to getting it harder to breathe and this was the time when everyone rushed him to the hospital. The doctor said he has suffered severe heart attack. There is diabetese in his medical history and yeah these people are more suspected to diseases.
