Minister: Prevention, not just medicine, for Obesity and Diabetes

India faces a growing problem with obesity and diabetes.

A government minister, who is also a doctor, says that instead of just taking medicine, we should focus on preventing these diseases.

This means eating healthy, exercising, and being aware of what's good for your body.

India is now also becoming a place where many children are obese.

The minister warns people to be careful about quick diet fixes and says that diets should be based on science.

Simple things like measuring your waist can be more helpful than complex charts.

Studies show that yoga can help prevent diabetes.

The minister wants a mix of healthy habits, modern medicine, and traditional practices.

He also says to be careful about new weight loss drugs because we don't know the long-term effects.

He thinks we need to spread the word to everyone so that we can stop these diseases from affecting our young people.
