Who says a doctor's life is easy? Dwarka-based diabetologist Brijmohan Arora who has over two decades of experience shared in his Instagram post that he led a very sedentary lifestyle, because of the long hours he put at his work. Plus, late nights, alcohol, going out for meals also took a toll on his health.

Dr Arora admitted that he was doing no physical activity in everyday life. The result? His weight surged to 109 kg. Eventually, his self esteem also took a hit, because of his weight.

Like they say when the moment of self-actualization happens, a person is willing to move, eat right and whatnot! Dr Arora too decided to take stock of his health. He adopted a wise approach by not trying any extreme diet. Instead, he focused on fundamental things like controlling his insulin levels, protecting his muscle mass, getting good hours of sleep, among other things.

In some of the clips he has posted on his Instagram page, he can be seen doing strength training. He is someone who continues to motivate people to lose weight and become healthy. In one of his captions, he wrote, "The older I get, the more I realize… Fatigue isn’t normal. Belly fat isn’t harmless. Muscle protects your metabolism. Sleep fixes hormones. Health is freedom."

The one low-impact workout Dr Arora is big on is walking. He says it is one of the most underrated forms of exercise that can help one combat many problems at once. "Walking is one of the strongest metabolic medicines for diabetes, prediabetes & insulin resistance. Cheap. Safe. Effective. And massively underrated," he wrote in one of his captions.
