Sub: – Increasing awareness of health and diet.
Sir,
I write this letter to highlight the changes that are being observed in terms of awareness among people regarding health. Health seems to be quite on the top of people’s priority list.
To give a few examples in 1999, there were only 5 yoga centres which doubled by 2009.As compared to 1999, the use of refined oil is increased by three times in 2009.There is a steep rise in the number of people going for morning walk, i.e. from 5% to 25%. The number of people going for regular health checkup has also gone up considerably. Advertisements are also playing a major role, in 1999 it was7% and now it has increased to 33%. As a result of all this, death rate has fallen from 15% to 11%.
This shows that people’s attitude and concern regarding their own health has undergone a change. The dictum ‘Health is Wealth’ is probably being understood .As long as one lives, one should be healthy, hale and hearty, is the motto.
This has given boost to health related business, showing an upward movement. If one is conscious about one’s health, it definitely pays in long run.
Through this letter, I want people to know that they should avail the facility available as well as go for regular morning walks, to keep themselves hale and hearty.
Yours truly
