NCERT school syllabi will focus on health

For ages I have thought the reason we all know so less about being healthy is that we are supposed to read subjects like History (which gives us important lessons, but nothing as valuable as knowledge about Human Body and how to be healthy) but nothing about Human Body and how to be healthy.

Finally it is here… NCERT school syllabi will focus on health

This is the best news I have read so far in 2010 !

Kurkure / Plastic ?

It is nice to see companies like Fritolay India (part of Pepsico), the company that makes the snacks called “Kurkure“, coming online and explaining about the allegations in one of the chain mails that claimed “if you burn Kurkure, it would turn to plastic and is, therefore, harmful to health”. Read more about it here.

I am happy that Pepsico realizes that India is waking up to “Good Health” and so, they are launching snacks with a “Snack Smart” concept (Snacks with 40% Less Saturated Fats and Zero Trans Fats).

I am happy that such companies are coming out with these alternatives for people. Hope to see a healthy India soon.
