Nutrition Expert Urges Focus on Healthful Food Over Taste for Well-being

Kathmandu. Nutritionist and yoga instructor Dr. Raju Adhikari has urged people to focus on food that promotes bodily health rather than prioritizing taste.

Speaking at a program titled 'Balanced Diet, Healthy Life' organized by the National Employees Union, RSS, at the central office on Thursday, marking the 65th anniversary of the Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS), Dr. Adhikari advised adopting a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle to remain healthy.

He stated that everyone needs to emphasize food that generates positive feelings and change their perspective towards eating. Dr. Adhikari said, "It is necessary to walk at least seven thousand steps daily. Not just junk food, but the entire junk lifestyle must be abandoned. Meditation and yoga are essential for a healthy lifestyle. Everyone must be aware of the negative effects caused by pesticide-laden food."

The program discussed that yoga, exercise, and positive thinking are the main mantras for a healthy lifestyle, as pesticides and pollution affect diet and habits.

Self-Awareness for Journalists

On the occasion of the anniversary, the RSS Employees Union also organized a 'Self-Awareness' program for journalists on Wednesday. During the program, biology instructor Dr. Aarti Regmi and artist Nirmala Khadka gave presentations and conducted exercises on self-awareness and meditation.
