"My life partner and I both have hectic work schedules and long hours working on ground for the rights of marginalised people . This doesn't leave us much time to prepare homemade meals. So we often depend on packaged food. I lost my immunity due to my ignorance of its harmful effects. COVID made me realise this.
After my 12-day stay in the ICU due to COVID-19 infection in the second pandemic wave, I became more aware of my health and optimized my nutrition (high protein-rich diet) for boosting my immunity. I became aware that packaged food, which is high in fat, sugar, and salt, leads to obesity, as well as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
While working among the marginalised, my alertness towards the packaged foods became my strength to spearhead a campaign for strong Front of Package Labelling (FOPL) in India for combatting NCD, childhood obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other diseases." says Dr Lenin Raghuvanshi, an award-winning renowned human rights activist and physician.
