From the desk of Dr Nandita Shah

As a doctor it really pains me to see more and more people getting lifestyle diseases at such younger ages. Teenage girls are troubled with premature puberty, PCOD, hypothyroid and even diabetes. Young men are obese and sick all the time. Digestive disorders, ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel are common in them. Young married couples face diabetes, hypertension, and even infertility. Breast cancer is no longer rare in women in their 30’s and 40’s.

Despite what we see around us, it’s normal to think that this only happens to someone else. But it’s the culture we are living in, and anyone who is a part of this is prone to the effects of it. The very best insurance is prevention. I always hear comments about how eating healthy is expensive, and honestly it’s a lot cheaper than eating out or eating ready made packaged foods. And it’s way cheaper than the cost of medicines, hospitals and doctors. Most importantly its FUN.

I admit that changing habits can be difficult. That’s what SHARAN helps you with. Make Health your Habit and you will have an insurance that lasts a lifetime.
