Dearest to fight the bulge and stay healthy

It’s time to stop blaming one’s work schedule for those increasing waistlines, and join hands with your nearest and dearest to fight the bulge and stay healthy.

There can be plenty of imaginative ways of working out together, and the truth is that we do them all the time. Except if we’re more conscious about them, we’re more likely to do them more frequently and with more interest. One could plan biking together or just put on some great music and dance with each other! And might we add, family workouts surely are a better way of bonding than over a lavish dinner at a crowded hot-spot of the city!

Adventure in your dna?

Adrenaline rush is no more the privilege of film stars and stunt men alone, rather it is a growing phenomenon in the lives of many a common man. People these days are looking out for action-packed vacations that are by far even more hectic than a regular day at work! “The trend is definitely towards outdoor vacations and active holidays compared to the four-walled five-star getaways. More and more families prefer outdoor camps while couples prefer long expeditions or treks together. Needless to say that lone individuals also seeking some action are present in each kind of group,” says Vaibhav of Aquaterra Adventures. Started in the year 1995, Aquaterra made it to the National Geographic’s list of world’s best adventure travel outfitters in the year 2007. It is the growing popularity of India, land of the mighty Himalayas and very many lofty rivers that a lot of people from the USA, UK and Europe plan their adventure getaways here. While most of the Indian population is “inclined towards river trips due to their proximity to the rivers, especially in northern India,” there are those who go for impromptu vacations for diverse activities.

INDIA: INFANT MORTALITY

India’s infant mortality rates continue to be shockingly high

Most surprisingly, the diseases that kill these children are curable and in fact, easily treatable. The real killers are inadequate healthcare services and lack of awareness in poor parents on how they can keep their children safe from such diseases. Public healthcare infrastructure falls way short, and private health services are still exorbitantly expensive. Health insurance could be a welcome solution, but there are significant caveats involved.

Just about 8% of the Indian population is covered by government health insurance schemes (and that’s 62 years after independence) and just 0.5% by private health insurers. Only 4-5% people are voluntarily taking up health insurance in India (as per IRDA); which means that a massive 95% is either unaware of the existence of such a cover or not sensitised enough to its true benefits. Due to these multiple issues saving our children continues to be a mammoth challenge, which the government and private companies have to meet together.
