Do you have discomfort in the upper abdomen during or after eating? Indigestion, a common complaint in all ages refers to conditions affecting the digestive tract and causing abdominal discomfort.
Seventy percent of the police force did not get adequate sleep and there was a huge gap between two meals. Sixty-five percent of the policemen were obese.
Dr. Amit Maydeo, Chairman of BIDS said, "The health problems, if not addressed timely, can be disastrous in the long run. All the personnel who have health problems have been put on medication and those who need more evaluation and further treatment have been asked to come for a follow-up. This is being done free of cost. We are going to chalk out a health guideline for the Mumbai police force. It is important that those who protect and guard us are in good shape," said Dr Maydeo.
