B Positive - November 2017

I dette nummeret

The year 2017 is almost coming to an end, but not before it engulfs us in all the festivity and gaiety, reserved for the last few months of the year. The recently celebrated Festival of Lights has undoubtedly provided impetus to a celebratory mood and holiday spirit. But before you get ready to bid this year adieu, make sure you get a health check done, bearing in mind all the binge eating episodes and late night soirees you may have been a part of and also not to mention, the impending festivities around the corner!
We all know that sweets and festivals are synonymous, but what we need to pay attention to is the rising cases of diabetes in the country. ‘World Diabetes Day’ is celebrated annually on November 14th, to educate individuals of all ages about the risks associated with this disease. In our country ‘Children’s Day’ too, is celebrated on the 14th of the month.
For this reason, there couldn’t be a more opportune time to highlight the rising incidences of childhood diabetes in India, which is very unfortunate and a sorry state of affairs indeed! Thus, our focus this month is on topics related to children, juvenile diabetes and behavioural foods, as these issues require attention and need to be brought to the forefront. Did you know that a healthy and balanced diet can make huge difference in dealing with behavioural problems in children?
Our cover this month is graced by the handsome, superfit and dynamic actor Tiger Shroff, who is the son of renowned actor Jackie Shroff. This upcoming superstar of Bollywood made his debut in the film ‘Heropanti’ and has awed audiences ever since, with his amazing skills in martial arts and dancing. The ‘Baaghi’ star says he has been hugely inspired by Bruce Lee and Michael Jackson, which is certainly quite obvious when you see him perform. Read on to discover the actor’s viewpoints on sculpting fitness levels, diet plans and also his evolution in the Hindi movie industry so far.
