I am 57 years old, 5’ 9” inches tall and weigh 68 kg. I live on the 10th floor and climb down the stairs 2-3 times a day and climb up once a day. I also jog and take a brisk 5-km walk daily. Since I am diabetic, my doctor has warned me about taking the stairs, but I can climb up to the 8th floor without a break, after which I take a minute’s rest before continuing. Is it harmful for me to take the stairs? Last week, I went to the Vaishno Devi shrine on foot (29 km in all) without a problem. L. K. Chawla, Gurgaon
