World Health Day Quotes from Mighty Foods and CritiCare Asia Multispeciality Hospital

Dr. Deepak Namjoshi, Medical Director - CritiCare Asia Multispeciality Hospital

"A healthy environment is essential to live a healthy life. According to WHO,  more than 13 million deaths around the world each year are due to avoidable environmental causes. Our indifference towards our planet can lead to a cascading effect on our health and overall well being. In the past few years, we have seen many casualties due to the extreme weather events such as heatwaves, floods and drought. We are witnessing climate change which are impacting our health in various ways including a spike in Gastrointestinal illness, Respiratory diseases, Vector Borne and Zoonotic diseases. Climate change can also lead to mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and dementia. We hope this theme highlights the importance of the planet's wellbeing, which also leads to better health for billions of people across the world. "

"As per a report by the IMRB, the protein intake of the Indian population, in the everyday diet is massively inadequate. Add to that there is also a lack of awareness regarding protein deficiency and the urgency to address the same. That said, recently, many people are switching to a more organic, plant-based diet. Keeping in line with that, on this #WorldHealthDay we want to initiate a conversation that encourages people to inculcate plant based protein in their daily diet, and, at the same time address the nascent needs of Indians for growth and development. Our aim is to foster food security, good health, and wellbeing."
