This September feels special.
Sir J.J. Hospital is joining the entire country for the *8th Rashtriya Poshan Maah*, and this year's theme is so close to my heart
*"Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar"*
I truly believe this. When a woman is healthy, her whole family becomes healthier. And that is how we will build a healthy India.
For the last 8 years in our *Diabetes, Obesity & Metabolism Clinic at JJ*, we have been quietly doing exactly what this year's Poshan Maah is asking for
✅ Talking about *Obesity with science, not shame*
✅ Helping families use *less oil and less sugar* – even 10% less can change your reports, as our Hon'ble PM reminded us
✅ Going back to our roots – *Millets, Moringa, Sattu, Chikki, Sprouts* – our own superfoods
So what are we doing this month.
🔸 We will be there in OPD for nutrition counselling and consultation.
🔸 A simple challenge for all of you and me – *No fried food after 6 PM for 30 days*. Let's do it together?
🔸 And we will show you how a simple, colourful Indian thali can be the best medicine
For me, nutrition was never about a strict diet. It is about diabetes remission, it is about a healthy pregnancy, it is about our children growing well.
Let's make Mumbai healthier, together.
