Happy 4th of July

Wishing all our readers a Happy and Healthy 4th of July.

Obesity continues its climb upwards

In a new annual survey from the USA on July 1st, adult obesity rates increased in 23 U.S. states last year and did not fall in a single state.   Adult obesity rates now exceed 25% in 31 states, up from 28 states last year and 19 the year before that.

The researchers noted that overweight people tend to live as long as the thin, but with far more chronic diseases that are costly to treat. “How are we going to compete with the rest of the world if our economy and workforce are weighed down by bad health,” said Jeff Levi, executive director of Trust for America’s Health.

More posts on obesity and tackling it the Ayurveda way – coming soon on this blog.

Quote

"Health can be maintained and disease can be prevented. Though technology is advancing, people are still falling sick. Health care costs keep on increasing, and there is no way to reduce that unless you introduce prevention. The best prevention is through Ayurveda, because it is a very comprehensive system, since it is based on natural medicine, which is devoid of toxicity."
- Dr A P J Abdul Kalam, Hon’ble former President of India spoke about Ayurveda.
