Mumbai: After all for most of us the new normal has meant erratic eating and sleeping schedules, less exercise and more stress.
All of these factors can lead to a number of adverse effects whether it is diabetes, joint pain, eye strain etc.
Yuvraj Singh backed Healthians India’s largest health test at home brand is tackling the lockdown’s effect on health head on and is encouraging India to take their health back into check in a post Covid world.
Says Yuvraj Singh, Brand Ambassador of Healthians,
Last year has been a complete change for us. What was considered abnormal turned out to be a new normal. During the lockdown binge eating, binge sleeping and binge watching has taken a toll on our routine and health. I pledge to get my health tests done and urge you all to join and gift good health to all.’
Besides unhealthy and erratic lifestyles during the lockdown the other major impact on health is that many have been forced to postpone elective health interventions like surgeries, consultations, health tests and other diagnostic proceedings due to restrictions during the pandemic. The implication of delayed procedures, reduced attention towards preventive care and chronic care, and decreased adherence to medications may have a negative long-term impact on our health.
Says Deepak Sahni CEO of Healthians,
‘While COVID has triggered a mindset shift towards health and hygiene, making people more aware and conscious about pursuing healthier habits but somewhere in the forced new lifestyle, we have become a little easy going on our health. The need of the hour is to encourage people to get more active about their health and make preventive tests a habit of a lifetime.
Deepak Sahni also adds, ‘Last year we realised how keeping a healthy disposition helped many people withstand the effect of COVID-19 eventually helping them come out of it unscathed. This is what we want people to realise that before it’s too late, instead of just concentrating on the material pursuits of life we should all think about our health.’
