Consume nutritious food for healthy life, says judge

“In this mechanised world, people are forgetting to consume nutritious food. This will have an adverse effect on the health of an individual,’ said Senior Civil Judge Noorunnisa.

She was speaking during the Poshan Abhiyan programme organised by the Zilla Panchayat and the women and child development department at Balabavana.

“Women in rural areas suffer from illness. The lack of knowledge about health and also negligence lead to illness. One should not neglect their health,” she said.

“People can consume nutritious leafy vegetables that are found in our surroundings as well. Instead of junk food, it is better to consume nutritious food,” she added.

Women and child development department deputy director K V Ningarajappa said, “There is a need to focus on physical and mental growth. Many people tend to neglect health amid stressful life.”

Senior medical officer Dr Srinath said, “We are more dependent on technology. We need to come out of the notion that money helps to buy everything in life. There is a need to inculcate discipline in life.”

District Ayush officer Srinivas and others were present.
