“Your Lifestyle, Your Brain — Make the Right Choices or Risk a Tumor!” – Dr. Ishtiyaq
Sujanpur, Punjab:
PMC Hospital, a unit of EMC Hospitals, has issued a serious warning about the rising risk of brain tumors and ways to prevent them. Senior Neurosurgeon Dr. Ishtiyaq highlighted that in today’s fast-paced life, people are neglecting their health—particularly brain health. He explained that unhealthy modern lifestyle habits such as poor diet, excessive consumption of junk and processed foods, high-fat and high-sugar intake, smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of sleep, mental stress, and pollution directly impact brain health. Prolonged exposure to these factors can significantly increase the risk of severe brain conditions, especially tumors.
Dr. Ishtiyaq also pointed out that prolonged and excessive use of mobile phones and other electronic devices can add to brain stress and strain, leading to negative health effects.
He recommended five key measures for maintaining brain health:
- Include fresh fruits, green vegetables, and Omega-3-rich foods in your daily diet.
- Drink plenty of water to keep the body hydrated.
- Engage in regular exercise and yoga to improve blood circulation and mental well-being.
- Practice stress management techniques and ensure adequate sleep.
- Undergo regular health check-ups and never ignore unusual symptoms.
Dr. Ishtiyaq strongly emphasized the importance of recognizing early signs of brain tumors. “Ignoring symptoms is like inviting the disease. If you experience frequent headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, or loss of balance—consult a specialist immediately,” he cautioned.
In his closing remarks, he urged people to make healthy eating, good habits, and regular check-ups a part of their lifestyle. “This is the best insurance for your brain. Invest in your health today to ensure a safer tomorrow,” he concluded.
