Sea Buckthorn: Himalayas’ Secret To A Healthy Life
Every adult understands the importance of leading a healthy life - exercising, monitoring the daily nutrition intake, engaging in healthy activities such as yoga, and interacting with good people are some of the things we all try to include in our daily schedule. However, most of us can name many individuals who in spite of living a healthy life have suffered or are suffering from mild to high-risk diseases.
According to a survey conducted in 2017, nearly 73 million people in India were suffering from Diabetes. And we’re estimating a rise in number by the end of this year, December 2022. Another study shows that the number of patients with cancer in India among males was 679,421 (94.1 per 100,000) and among females 712,758 (103.6 per 100,000) for the year 2020. With the graph raising amid the global pandemic, we can sure understand the gravity of the situation. And it’s pretty bad.
So the question that comes into the mind of any curious individual is - where are we lacking? The health sector of the country is constantly developing with some providing the best treatment possible. So maybe instead of looking at what we are being provided with, we should reflect on our own habits as individuals.
Healthy habits are very hard to follow but at the same time very necessary. The hectic course of life that many individuals, especially our current and future generation, follows is probably one of the biggest threat to their lives. With so many stressors present in our environment, our mental health is worsening day by day and making it difficult for individuals to lead a peaceful and healthy life.
