Under the new initiative of the Health Ministry, people are now being made aware of healthy lifestyle in major hospitals of the country. In this episode, now Sugar and Oil Board will also be installed in AIIMS Hospital in Delhi. Its purpose is to inform people how much oil and sugar is in the food they are eating. This will help patients, their families and hospital staff take better decisions about their diet.

How important this step is?

AIIMS professor and media spokesperson Dr. Reema Dada described this decision as a very important and positive step. He said that nowadays the problem of obesity among people is increasing very fast. It is being seen not only among the elders, but also in children. Earlier diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure were only in elders, they are now happening in children. He explained the biggest reason for this to the unhealthy lifestyle, in which people eat more oil and sugar food. In these, fast food causes the most damage. It has a direct effect on the body and increases the risk of serious diseases like obesity, heart disease, diabetes.

New initiative will be held in AIIMS Hospital

Dr. Reema also told that the directors of AIIMS were already in favor of such an initiative. He had said that healthy food should be served in cafeteria and canteen of the hospital. Board related to sugar and oil should be installed there, which will increase awareness among the people. Now this instruction is being fully implemented. Under this initiative, boards will now be installed at AIIMS canteens and places of food, on which it will be clearly written that how many calories, how much oil and how much sugar is being served. With this, every person will be able to become aware of their food and will avoid taking excess oil or sugar.

Another step towards healthy India

In a large and prestigious institution like AIIMS Delhi, such an initiative can become an example for the whole country. This effort of the Ministry of Health will inspire not only patients, but also common people to adopt healthy lifestyle. This initiative shows that now after getting sick, prevention is being paid to prevention before the disease.

CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) has taken a new and important decision for schools across the country. This decision is directly related to the health and lifestyle of the students. Actually, obesity is increasing rapidly in today’s children. The big reason for this is the lack of junk food, oil -rich food and physical activities. In view of this, now CBSE has instructed all schools to take some important steps.

What are the new instructions?

According to CBSE, now ‘oil board’ will be installed in every school. The aim of this board is to tell the children how much and what kind of oil they are using in their food. This will increase awareness in children about eating and they will learn to choose a better option. Apart from this, now all official documents of schools will also publish messages related to obesity and healthy lifestyle. The aim of this is that at every level, children and parents can be made aware of health.

Focus will also be on these things

CBSE has also said that instead of junk food in the school canteen, nutritious and balanced food should be given priority. Children should be encouraged for regular exercise, yoga, sports and other physical activities. Apart from this, students will also be motivated for using stairs instead of lift and walking for small tasks. This will make them physical active and will prevent danger like obesity.

How will the design of ‘Oil Board’ be?

Every school can design ‘Oil Board’ in its convenience and creative way. Its purpose should be informative and understandable for children, so that they can easily understand how to eat oil -rich food can be harmful.

Where will you get help?

If the school wants, they can get educational posters and information from FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) website or YouTube channel. For this, the school can contact eatright@fssai.gov.in. CBSE has appealed to all schools to take the health of students as seriously as they focus on studies. Only a healthy student can become a better citizen and this step in this direction is a commendable beginning.
