People should be encouraged to make healthier choices in life and follow a lifestyle which fosters good health, Indian Health Minister J.P. Nadda said here.
Inaugurating a photo exhibition on yoga on the sidelines of the World Health Assembly here on Tuesday, Nadda voiced happiness that the UN General Assembly had declared June 21 as the International Day of Yoga.
"A record 177 countries have co-sponsored this resolution. This is a testimony to the wide recognition and popularity yoga has gained across the globe," he said.
