Healthier living

Lifestyle management (Editorial page, November 13) is of utmost significance for the prevention and the control of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. A healthy diet in conjunction with proper physical activities not only helps improve the quality of life but also cuts down on pharma purchases. Spreading awareness about healthy living and a healthy diet is important, especially in remote parts of the country. Perhaps non-governmental organisations can hold camps demonstrating healthy ways of cooking, making diets nutritious and ensuring greater senior citizen participation in physical activity.

Food prices

The trinity of Indian kitchens — the tomato, onion and potato — is progressively becoming unaffordable due to food inflation. There are recipes that can be made with local vegetables but which have fallen out of favour — alu bukharas and shakarkandis come to one’s mind or been replaced by those saturated with tomatoes and potatoes. Perhaps this is an opportunity to innovate instead of despair.
