Hamirpur, November 27
Prevention is key to healthy and longer life hence people should take healthy diet. This was stated by RR Rohan, retired Deputy Director, Health, on the opening of a free ayurvedic health consultancy centre at Anu near here today.
Rohan got healthcare training from England and Thailand and was retired in 2008. He said many serious diseases, including cancer, diabetes, tuberculosis and even AIDS, could be prevented by following a healthy lifestyle.
The consultancy centre was inaugurated by Dr Poonam Sharma, district ayurvedic health officer. She said ayuveda was over 5,000-year old medical practice and those who followed it were less exposed to diseases.
She said apart from district ayurvedic hospital, four such hospitals were operational in the district that provided acupressure, naturopathy and mud therapy. — OC
