He said that with the increasing age seniors must take light food consist of less Oil, Fat and Low Sugar/Salt. In short Food consumed should be of Balance diet.
He added that Senior should be active and to make considerable movements. The decease like arthritis also requires regular exercise to remain comfortable.
Besides that they may avoid loneliness in order to avoid depression. The socialization is the solution of such problem. The hobbies like music, dance and reading also keep you healthy and fit. Those things will also immune you from loneliness.
The enough sleep and regular time for getting up also helps you to remain healthy. They should also regularly do some exercise with suitable medicine to avoid chronic illness. However one has to always take prescribed dosses of medicines. Besides that seniors must take preventive vaccines for protecting them against virus and deceases.
A M Krishna explained the advantage and disadvantage of interlinking of Indian Rivers. He informed that the inter linking of rivers in India will help to irrigate about 35 Million hectors of land and may able to produce 30000 megawatts of electricity. It can also help us to grow more food to feed our future requirements. Besides that it can give water to deficit rain areas and it can also control the flooding of rivers.
However there are problems to interlink the rivers because so many countries are involve in the project. (I.e. China, Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal and Bangladesh with different interest) Ganja and Brahmaputra passes through so many Areas. Besides that there are several states are involve with different interest and geographical situation. There are problems regarding sharing of the cost and the water of the project among different Indian states. Hence it is clumsy situation regarding the whole project. In short we have to consider all these aspect which are making it difficult to implement this project.
