A recent study published in the Lancet Global Health along with World Health Organization data shows a disturbing trend that physical inactivity is rising in India and the world. Sufficient physical activity is defined by WHO as doing 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity, or an equivalent combination per week. Key findings are as follows: 1. Half of Indian adult population is insufficiently physical active. This figure was 22% in 2000. 2. 57% adult females in India are insufficiently physical active, compared to 42% of adult males. 3. Women are less active than men by an average of 5 percentage points globally. This has not changed since 2000. 4. Globally, almost 1/3rd of adults (1.8 billion people) are not doing sufficient physical activity. 5. Prevalence of insufficient physical activity globally has increased from 23% in 2000 to 31% in 2022. It is well known that lack of physical activity increases the risk of diseases like heart attack, stroke and diabetes. It is surprising that so many people still fail to meet the basic recommendation for physical activity. It's been almost 10 years since I started my own fitness journey. When I began running I could hardly run 500 m without panting and huffing. From amateur runner to Ironman triathlete I have covered a large distance in a decade. This has been possible because I took charge of my health and I have remained consistent in doing my workouts. It makes me wonder when people say they don't have time for workout. The least we can do for a healthy life is to keep aside at least 30 minutes every day for our body. I give 10-12 hours every week for my endurance and strength training. From my personal experience, when I am physically active I am more happy and productive, I tend to eat healthy, I am better equipped to handle stress, and I am less likely to fall sick. So being physically active is not only to prevent diseases, but also to live and feel healthy on a daily basis, in everything that you do. So when being physically active can be so beneficial, why not move our bodies for a better version of our own self? #healthylife #eathealthy #healthylifestyle #exercise #nutrition #healthyeating #activelifestyle

One one hand, physiotherapists rampantly promote the theme "we prevent surgeries'. ..and then, they expect surgeons to refer them pre- and post-op clients also. There is a visible rise of such advertisements and public writings by the physiotherapy professional pool, as a whole, across India. Is physiotherapy a field weak enough and physiotherapy practitioners vulnerable, to parasite clientage from other specialists, rather than robustly creating their own value within the healthcare ecosystem? What if surgeons across the country start promoting things like "Why are you wasting time trying different physiotherapists' approaches? Let me operate you and you will need physiotherapy just for calculated number of days, which too, will be majorly done as per my own directions"? But do we really see surgeons publicly doing so? Any where? I'm sure, even if it happened, the number is significantly insignificant. With my work spanning more than 20 years, from deep rural areas to tertiary level hospitals, in corporate and non-corporate organizations, under great leaderships, I'm business coaching Physiotherapists across India, since 2019! (a) I coach the sincere approach required for direct enquiry generation, lead conversion and client retention strategies. (b) On-field or in-person strategies find a stronger space in my quite original contents, than online ones. (c) Strategies to efficiently manage the situations of conflict between the clients and Physiotherapists is a major mentorship portion in my events.

DISCOVERING AND EXPERIENCING HOMEOPATHY IN YOUR DAY TO DAY LIFE. In an era where consumer preferences are rapidly evolving, the healthcare industry is witnessing a significant shift towards direct-to-consumer (D2C) models. Among the many sectors riding this wave, homeopathy stands out as a notable success story. Traditionally viewed as an alternative medicine with a niche following, homeopathy is now making its mark in the mainstream market as a prominent D2C brand. What is Homeopathy Homeopathy, a holistic approach to medicine developed in the late 18th century, operates on the principle of "like cures like" and uses highly diluted substances to trigger the body’s natural healing processes. Despite skepticism from some quarters of the medical community, homeopathy has maintained a dedicated global following. Its appeal lies in its natural ingredients, minimal side effects, and personalized treatment plans, aligning perfectly with the modern consumer's preference for natural and individualized health solutions. The D2C Advantage 1)Consumer Trust and Transparency: D2C brands thrive on direct interaction with consumers, fostering trust through transparency. Homeopathic brands can provide detailed information about their ingredients, sourcing, and manufacturing processes, addressing concerns about quality and authenticity. This transparency builds a loyal customer base, as consumers feel more confident about the products they are using. 2)Personalized Customer Experience: Homeopathy’s personalized approach to treatment fits seamlessly with the D2C model. Online consultations and tailored product recommendations can be easily facilitated through digital platforms. By leveraging data analytics and AI, homeopathic D2C brands can offer highly customized experiences, enhancing customer satisfaction and treatment efficacy. 3)Education and Awareness: One of the significant challenges for homeopathy has been the lack of widespread understanding and acceptance. D2C brands can leverage digital marketing and content strategies to educate consumers about the benefits and principles of homeopathy. Informative blogs, webinars, and social media engagement can demystify homeopathy, making it more accessible and appealing to a broader audience. 4)Convenience and Accessibility: The D2C model eliminates intermediaries, allowing consumers to access homeopathic products directly from the brand’s website or app. This not only makes purchasing more convenient but also often results in cost savings for the consumer. Subscription services can ensure that customers receive their remedies regularly without the hassle of reordering. Conclusion The emergence of homeopathy as a D2C brand reflects broader trends in consumer behavior and healthcare. By embracing transparency, personalization, and digital engagement, homeopathic brands can overcome traditional barriers and expand their reach. Explore the revolution at www.homeofarm.com

🔍 **Understanding Obesity vs. Overweight: A Critical Health Distinction** In today's health landscape, the terms “obesity” and “overweight” are often used interchangeably, yet they possess distinct meanings that carry significant health implications. 🏥 ### What’s the Difference? - **Obesity** is defined as having a BMI of **30 or higher**, indicating an excessive amount of body fat. - **Overweight** is categorized by a BMI **between 25 and 29.9**—a step below obesity but still alarming. This differentiation is crucial; obesity raises your risk for severe health conditions, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and various cancers. With a staggering increase in childhood obesity, it's evident we must act now to safeguard our future generations. 📊 Two primary lifestyle culprits fueling this crisis are: 1. **Sedentary Lifestyles**: Many of us are glued to our screens, leading to insufficient physical activity. 2. **Ultra-Processed Foods**: These calorie-dense, nutrient-poor options are omnipresent and harmful. 🍔 Raising awareness about these factors is paramount. Let’s encourage healthier environments, better food choices, and active lifestyles—together, we can turn the tide against obesity! 🌍 For an in-depth analysis and practical steps toward change, check out our detailed blog post here: [Key4Health Blog](https://lnkd.in/eM35KKDp) #HealthAwareness #ObesityPrevention #HealthyLiving #BMI #ChildhoodObesity #PublicHealth
