In today’s fast-paced world, we often hesitate to invest in our health while spending freely on short-term pleasures. Imagine this: you don’t think twice before eating a ₹20 samosa every night, but reconsider before paying ₹2000 for a gym membership. That irony was recently highlighted by a Delhi-based cardiologist, whose direct message went viral on social media. His powerful comparison between a ₹20 snack and a ₹3 lakh angioplasty serves as a wake-up call about how small daily choices can silently damage our health.
Delhi Cardiologist’s Viral Warning Highlights The Real Cost Of Junk Food
According to a Delhi-based cardiologist, junk food can cost an astonishing ₹3 lakh, and people who enjoy it should take serious notice. Dr. Shailesh Singh claims that leading an unhealthy lifestyle and consuming inexpensive junk food might have a significant financial impact on your ability to recover your health. With a dash of humor, Dr. Singh’s health warning has gone viral on social media.
It’s difficult to ignore the way Dr. Singh examined the “economics of unhealthy eating” in his now-viral post on X (previously Twitter). According to his calculations, a person who consumes one workplace samosa each day—or about 300 annually—would spend about ₹90,000 over a 15-year period.
However, the cardiologist cautioned that it is not the true cost. The greater cost is incurred later when unhealthy eating patterns manifest as health issues. He wrote, “You’re not saving money on unhealthy food. You’re taking out a 400% interest loan against your arteries.” He claims that a ₹3 lakh angioplasty is eventually used to repay the loan.
The cardiologist didn’t stop there either. He criticized the variety of reasons individuals give for putting off their health objectives, ranging from “after this project” to “after retirement,” and made the point that the body doesn’t wait for our schedules to clear. His advice was straightforward but chilling: life won’t stop while you make plans to get healthier.
Doctor Urges: Choose Discipline Over Regret
He continued by explaining how, with persistence, challenging habits can become everyday necessities. He claimed that while the first week of walking may be excruciating, by week fifty-two, it feels bad to skip it. He told his followers, “The discomfort you’re avoiding lasts seven days. The guilt never goes away. Pick your difficulty.”
Conclusion
Cardiologist Shailesh Singh’s message is a timely reminder that health is an investment, not an expense. A ₹20 samosa might seem harmless today, but neglecting your well-being could lead to a ₹3 lakh hospital bill tomorrow. His advice, to choose discipline over regret, underscores the importance of consistent, mindful living. Because, in the end, the real wealth is good health.
