The Amway India organised an awareness campaign for wellness of women here on Tuesday that aimed at creating awareness about the need for a wholesome diet and nutritional supplements for modern-day women.
Nutritionist Eshani Biswas spoke on the nutritional needs of women at different stages of life while gynaecologist Dr Sanghamitra Sathapathy elaborated on the post-menopausal challenges faced by women and the need of supplementation to combat it.
It was disclosed at the meeting that according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), Indians are among the world’s most depressed and the burden of depression is higher for females than males. Another research by the WHO shows that osteoporosis, a global health challenge, has hit Indians the worst with one in three women at risk of an osteoporotic fracture. Moreover, a three-fourth of women in India are anaemic.
Vice-President, East, of Amway India Diptarag Bhattacharjee said the new-age Indian woman is in an ever-increasing need for a wholesome diet and nutritional supplements which the Amway aims to address by a special women’s range of nutritional supplements under the Nutrilite brand.
