School Health Education and Enlightened Living (SHEEL):A Call for Vibrant Swasthya
Subscribe/Renew Journal
An article by Baishakhi Datta in this issue reflects the worldwide concern regarding 21st century lifestyles, especially lifestyles of the youth and their lack of knowledge and awareness about the health risks they face for a variety of non-communicable diseases (NCD). The concern expressed by these academicians who are not from the medical fraternity underlines that these issues should be tackled in order to prevent early onset/advent of adult diseases in childhood years. Traditionally, Indian systems of 'dinacharya' (daily practices), and 'ritucharya' (seasonal practices) encompassed a treasure trove of health-giving lifestyles, that were available at home.
