Ask yourself: Why should I look for medical treatment abroad when there are hospitals here I can visit conveniently? For patients looking for medical care domestically, the costs for receiving treatment at your local hospital or medical facility will likely exceed costs you get from hospitals abroad. Per day, thousands of people visit a hospital to seek treatment for a variety of reasons and seeking quality treatment should never come at a prohibitive cost.
In 1983, Dr. Prathap C Reddy established a vision where everybody would be able to receive medical attention at a price they could comfortably afford. Therefore, the establishment of the first
Apollo Hospitals in Chennai paved the way for affordable medical care at a fraction of global prices. The pricing attracted many people from within India and around the world to use the hospital’s facilities and services; this transformed the hospital to become India’s number one healthcare provider.

Experiencing a Different Culture and People
Sometimes, the anxiety of travelling to a new country can add stress to your present condition. If this is the first time you are flying to India, you can expect the unexpected. For example, Indians do not eat beef. Cows are extremely sacred in India and therefore, it is mostly unlikely you will find beef sold in supermarkets or local convenience stores. However, there is a plentiful selection of meats available for your choosing: Mutton, veal, chicken, pork, and fish.
Indians are very helpful and compassionate people, always going out of their way to help someone in need. If you happen to get lost or require assistance, you can always ask.
Experiencing India as a first-timer may be an overwhelming experience, but India is truly a wonderful and holy place. The nation is immensely rich in culture and diversity. Likewise, there are over two hundred spoken languages and thousands of dialects. India is home to many interesting and archaeological sites, including rivers, forts, buildings, and monuments.
Conclusively, while you are recovering from your treatment and you are healthy enough to travel; it is recommended to travel around the city. The cities come alive at night and the streets are lined with bright lights, aromatic smells of authentic Indian cuisine, and sounds of the bustling market echoing from all sides.

Are you having trouble getting a good night’s sleep? There may be many factors that influence your sleep and one among them could be your body’s biological “clock”.Yes!! You heard it right “Biological clock”. Each of us has a built-in clock that controls our circadian rhythms, or the normal 24-hour sleep and awake cycles in a day.
Also, our body clock helps in maintaining good health; including body temperature, fluid balances, and normal functions like appetite, alertness, energy levels and ageing.
Our body clock is regulated by a natural hormone called melatonin. Clinical studies have found that melatonin production is affected by your daily exposure to light and dark, and further if the light is artificial as opposed to natural sunlight. Working at night, and sleeping during the day can also alter a person’s circadian rhythms. The main problem you may experience when your body clock is off a bit would be due to lack of sleep. If it persists, your overall health might also be impacted.
Your Body Clock and Health May be Affected by These Factors
Consult a doctor to know what factors may be impacting your body clock, and what to expect. Clinical evidence supports the fact that the following lifestyle changes can alter melatonin levels in your body, and cause body clock disruptions: Like
As mentioned above, a disruption in your body clock can lead to other health maintenance issues; including alterations in body temperature, fatigued , and changes in appetite. If your body clock seems “out-of-sorts”, it is best to consult a doctor.
Potential Treatments to Get Your Body Clock Health Back
When you seek doctor’s advice, they will probably recommend one or more of these treatments to get your body clock back in order; while maintaining your overall health:
Medications
Change in your sleeping environment: Some examples of this would be darkening your room more effectively to block sunlight (If you work the night shift), or wearing ear plugs to cut down on external noise.
Avoid consumption of caffeinated drinks (coffee, pop, tea) or alcoholic beverages just before bedtime.
Dietary supplements
Melatonin supplements
Limit Evening Tech: Bright lights during the evening hours can confuse your brain, thinking it’s still daytime and can disturb your body clock. Artificial blue light emission (such as laptops, tablets and cell phones) is the worst culprit, therefore try avoiding use of such devices at least two to three hours before bed.

It is quite visible that with our increasingly busy life schedules, we devoid ourselves from taking time for an afternoon siesta which is considered to have extraordinary health benefits. However, the perception towards power napping is different in this modern world, where people are not expected to wink sleep during working hours, and this is widely considered unacceptable behaviour.
