Passage 22

In English

Even amongst the educated people, this disease is creeping in. Not merely the educated one, even those doctors who specialize in the field of the heart become victims to this.

What do we do? The golden principle or formula is diet control. Keep a curb on the food intake, everything will be okay. You must reduce your weight. The reason is, we are eating this food.
