People have become more health conscious today than they were 10 years ago. What do you think is the reason behind this?
It is mainly because of the sedentary lifestyle that people are leading. Also the eating habits have changed. Convenience, packed and processed foods dominate the market. Because of sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition, the average age of people affected by stress, fatigue, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity is dropping each year. So naturally, more and more people are becoming health conscious. The desire to look fit like the film stars is also one reason why people are opting for more and more weight loss programmes.
