Hyderabad: What is the ‘secret balance’ that drives an 87-year-old cardiologist to lead an active life, treat his patients on a daily basis and be regarded as an experienced doctor with the best diagnostic skills in town?

Dr. RM Saboo, a senior cardiologist in Hyderabad, strongly believes in the power of daily walking and simple yet effective exercises.

The cardiologist has been walking daily for nearly two decades and urges everyone to walk at least 30 to 40 minutes a day and do some simple exercises for strong legs and a strong heart.

Dr. Saboo’s short article on the importance of walking every day and the importance of having strong legs has been circulating on various platforms and social media groups in Hyderabad.

“Both legs together have 50 percent of the nerves in the human body, 50 percent of the blood vessels, and 50 percent of the blood flows through them, and this is the largest circulatory network that connects the entire body. body and that’s a good reason to walk every day,” says Dr. Saboo.

Only when the feet are healthy does the conventional blood flow flow smoothly, and therefore people who have strong leg muscles will definitely have a strong heart, he notes.

Aging begins from the feet up, and as a person ages, the accuracy and speed of transmission of instructions between the brain and the legs decreases. In addition, the so-called ‘calcium’ as bone fertilizer will be lost sooner or later with the passage of time, making the elderly more prone to bone fractures. “To avoid these situations, you have to walk every day,” he says.

Exercising your legs is never too late, even after the age of 60. Although our feet or legs age little by little over time, exercising them is a lifelong task. “Only through regular leg strengthening can aging be prevented or slowed down, so walk 365 days,” advises Dr. Saboo.
