Health is wealth

Distributing sweets and dry fruits is an integral part of Diwali festivities. So it makes sense for the health-conscious to be extra cautious after the festive season. Officials at Krishi Bhawan, home to the Union ministries of agriculture and food, went through a day-long diabetes screening, awareness and education programme on Monday. The note sent out by the organiser of the programme quoted a joint secretary-level official as saying, "The modern-day job demands fitness for us to be productive and happy. Hence, it is imperative that we monitor our health and adopt a very active lifestyle".
