Obesity is a growing health challenge in India. It increases the risk of serious diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Recognizing this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a strong stand to fight obesity and promote healthier living among Indians.
At the 38th National Games in Dehradun, PM Modi emphasized the importance of regular exercise, a balanced diet, and reducing oil consumption. He suggested that everyone should aim to cut down their daily oil intake by 10%. His message is simple yet powerful—small changes in our diet and lifestyle can lead to big improvements in our health.
Support from Medical Experts and Public Figures
PM Modi’s initiative has received widespread support from doctors, fitness experts, and public figures. The World Health Organization (WHO) South-East Asia division highlighted the importance of regular physical activity and a balanced diet in combating obesity.
Several renowned healthcare professionals have spoken in favor of this movement:

Why Should You Reduce Oil Consumption?
Excessive oil consumption leads to weight gain, high cholesterol, and heart diseases. By reducing daily oil intake by 10%, individuals can lower their risk of obesity-related diseases. Eating a balanced diet with more fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can contribute to a healthier lifestyle.
Take Action for a Healthier Tomorrow
Obesity is preventable. Start today by making small yet significant changes in your diet and exercise routine. Reduce your oil intake, stay active, and encourage your family and friends to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Doctors and healthcare professionals can play a vital role in spreading awareness. If you are a doctor, educate your patients on the importance of a balanced diet and regular exercise. Together, we can build a healthier India.
