Self restraint and Yoga can help control diabetes: Governor

Observing that diabetes has emerged as a major challenge to public health, Maharashtra Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao said here today that self restraint and Yoga can help control diabetes to a great extent.

"Evolving a healthy lifestyle with proper mix of diet and exercise is certainly important. Avoiding over indulgence is key to tackling diabetes," he said.

The Governor was speaking at a Symposium on 'A Day on Diabetes and Diet' organised by Sparsha Foundation at suburban Vile Parle today.

Sparsha is a service organisation working for special children, which is run by a film personality Rupini (Komal) Mahuvakar.

On the occasion the Governor also released a book on 'Diabetes and Diet' authored by nutritionist Pramila Mahuvakar.
