I'm overweight. So what? Everyone else is too!
For most of us, being overweight and having a sedentary lifestyle is considered "normal".
Why? Simply because most people around us are overweight too!
Let’s meet Sachin Singh - a software engineer based out of Chandigarh - to find out why one shouldn't ignore being overweight.
As most software engineers do, he was workaholic and had a sedentary lifestyle. He would sit in the same place and work continuously for 10 to 12 hours everyday.
Eventually, he had put on extra 10 kilos. Though this wasn’t healthy by any standards, he didn't bother much.
But when his back pain was diagnosed as slip disc, he as well as everyone around him were alarmed. Doctors advised him to avoid sitting for long duration or running. He was even asked to walk slowly!
When he would take medication, there was some relief. But as soon as he would stop, the problem would recur. One doctor even suggested surgery.
Sachin badly wanted a permanent and non-invasive fix to his problem, but couldn’t find an appropriate option.
Around that time, he heard about Wellness Quotient from a friend. At the beginning, he wasn't very enthusiastic to start a new treatment. But for lack of other options available, he decide to give it a shot.
After strictly following diet and workout regime for few weeks, he could see significant improvement in his condition. "My energy levels were back to normal and my back pain had considerably reduced in about a month's time!", says Sachin.
He also reduced 10 kilos in a few months and now feels great both physically and mentally.
Sachin is happy today and says "I'm grateful to Wellness Quotient for helping me to get back to a normal life again."
(Wellness Quotient proudly presents one of their WQ Champion Sachin's journey as yet another hope for many out there who want to achieve wellness but are uncertain if they can too!)
