Before embarking on a walking regimen

Before embarking on a walking regimen, just a word of caution. Make sure that you are not suffering from the  following ailments:

1. Heart disease.
2. Kidney disease.
3. Diseases of joints specially lower limbs.
4. Generalized swelling over the body.
5. History of vertigo, faintness, other neurological disorders.
6. Low blood sugar (usually in patients of Diabetes Mellitus).
7. Forgetfulness.

To drive my point about forgetfulness, I am going to tell you a story. One person, an M.B.B.S., MD physician, by himself, was suffering from forgetfulness and also from Diabetes Mellitus. He came out of his house for a long walk. As he was walking he forgot to locate his whereabouts. He forgot how to come back home. Because he was Diabetic, he developed hypoglycemia. He felt drowsy and fell on the ground on a footpath and died. Some passerby found his address in his pocket, which was kept for such emergencies. It was too late by then. Unfortunate, isn't it.

So be cautious and consult your doctor if you are suffering from any disease, specially those mentioned above.
