	<strong>Cause of cardiovascular diseases</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The primary reasons for these diseases are tobacco use (cigarette, biddi, gutkha), unhealthy diet, no physical activity, and use of alcohol.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Modern day lifestyle has boosted unhealthy lifestyle. Working on the computer for hours, eating junk foods and sleeping late at night are very common phenomena nowadays. Lack of physical activity also adds to an already bad lifestyle.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The coronavirus outbreak has also added to the work pressure that the people already had. All of these conditions lead to a situation where people develop high blood pressure, high blood glucose, overweight and obesity which in turn triggers cardiovascular diseases.</div>

International credit agency Moody's Investors Service has made sweeping assertions against Aadhaar without citing any evidence, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) said on Monday.
The UIDAI issued a strong rebuttal to Moody's Investors Service which claimed that the Aadhaar system often results in service denials and the reliability of biometric technologies, especially for manual labourers, in hot and humid climates is questionable.
"A certain investor service has, without citing any evidence or basis, made sweeping assertions against Aadhaar, the most trusted digital ID in the world. Over the last decade, over a billion Indians have expressed their trust in Aadhaar by using it to authenticate themselves over 100 billion times," the UIDAI said in a statement.
The unique id Aadhaar's custodian said that the report in question does not cite either primary or secondary data or research in support of the opinions presented in it.

Canada has updated travel advisory for its citizens in India asking them to "stay vigilant and exercise caution" in the context of recent developments as there are calls for protests and some "negative sentiment" towards Canada on social media.
Tensions flared between India and Canada following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's explosive allegations of a "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45, on his country's soil on June 18 in British Columbia. India had designated Nijjar as a terrorist in 2020.
India angrily rejected the allegations as "absurd" and "motivated" and expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in a tit-for-tat move to Ottawa's expulsion of an Indian official over the case.
"In the context of recent developments in Canada and in India, there are calls for protests and some negative sentiment towards Canada on social media. Please remain vigilant and exercise caution," the Canadian government said in an
