Diabetes

One in 16.

One in 25.

Wondering what this about?

According to the latest National Heath Survey, one woman in every 16 women and 1 in every 25 men are overweight.

Here are another set of statistics.

101 million people in India are diabetic.

And 136 million are pre-diabetic.

Many of us face at least one of these two health issues – we are either diabetic, pre-diabetic or know someone close us who is. We are overweight or know someone close us who is.

And then, there’s the question of nutrition. With junk food making such a deep foray into our lives, is our daily diet healthy enough.
