Seminar on "Lead a healthy lifestyle"

Date: February 15, 2011
Place: Indian Cultural Center

The Chapter hosted a seminar on “Lead a healthy lifestyle’. Dr.Umesh Dongare from the Institute for Nature Cure and Yoga Sciences, Pune, India was the speaker.

The speaker emphasised the importance of leading a healthy life and shared his knowledge of how this can be achieved by simple exercises, eating a balanced diet and taking simple precautions.

“Most life style related diseases start very small and gradually progress to assume large proportions. It is only when the impact of the disease becomes profound that people tend to react and take corrective measures. By taking early preventive measures and by following simple lifestyle rules, it’s possible for people to ward off the harmful effects of lifestyle diseases and lead a healthy life”, said Dr. Dongare. He also demonstrated some simple Yoga and acupressure exercise which if performed daily, will provide lasting benefits and preserve youthful looks.

“This event is probably the first of its kind ever organised by the chapter where members and their families spent time understanding their own bodies by listening to an expert in the field of nature care, stress and obesity management”, Doha Chapter Chairman CA Girish Jain said.
