Anosh Ahmed, MD shares how you should invest in your health: To promote overall health, it is important to stay away from risky behaviors. These include alcohol and drug use. Alcohol use should be restricted to two drinks per day for men and one for women, with a total of seven drinks per week. Any more than this, and you could be setting yourself up for heart problems, liver problems, kidney problems, and more. It is also paramount that you quit smoking. Smoking leads to lung problems like COPD as well as lung cancer. If you want to quit smoking, talk to your doctor as they may recommend a class, medication, or self-help scheme for you.
Dr. Anosh Ahmed obtained a bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership before attending medical school. Who has been a role model to you and why? I’ve held my father as a role model from a young age because of the fact that he worked day and night to provide for his family. I know it sounds like I should be saying Bill Gates or someone out there like that, but my dad is a real live example of someone that I’ve seen who can work hard all day and night. He became paralyzed from the waist down because of a disease. How do you maintain a solid work life balance? It’s definitely hard. My phone is never off the hook. As far as I am concerned, there’s no such thing as a decent work/life balance if you truly have the passion that I have for my work. Until now, I have not mastered how to balance myself and my work, and that’s one of the things that I’m currently working on.
