Health and career can co-exist

"Honestly, I just cannot resist the temptation of good food. Can you imagine I can still eat 20 rasgullas at a time?", admits Amar Prusty, a techie from Bangalore.

Inspite of being a foodie since childhood, weight was never a problem since he was into active sports. But things changed once he started working in the IT industry.

Working for 18 years in senior position, home office, sumptuous 5-star hotel food during technology conferences had become obvious culprits. The regular cycling was not able to compensate for the extra inches anymore! Add to that the family history of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, Amar was living in constant fear of what's coming towards him. But perhaps not enough to jolt him into action.

Elevated triglyceride levels in his last health checkup was a wake up call. He knew he has to lose the extra weight and get fit. That's when he decided to listen to his wife - Bhagyalaxmi Sahoo - who is also a wellness coach with Wellness Quotient.

Due to the holistic approach - stress, nutrition and rest along with diet and exercise - he could achieve a healthy weight loss and continues to have a very active lifestyle and a demanding technology expert job!

Now after losing 11 kilos in 2 months (from 90 kgs to 79 kgs), he feels his age has actually reversed from 42 to 24! He is brimming with excitement as he says, "Now I really have an agile mind in an agile body."

(Wellness Quotient proudly presents one of their WQ Champion Amar's journey as yet another hope for many out there who want to achieve wellness but are uncertain if they can too!)
