Vets In Poultry (VIP) Foundation in association with CITCO on Sunday organised an “EggChi Walkathon” to raise the awareness about nutritional enrichment and to tackle protein malnutrition. More than 700 health enthusiasts across tricity participated during the walkathon held at Sukhna Lake here.
Through this walkathon, VIP Foundation shared the message that dietry imbalance contributes significantly for effective management of protein intake. It also emphasized that the spike in instances of protein malnutrition in India could be slowed if people are educated more clearly on how a change in lifestyle and the inclusion of daily healthy diet could help in protein malnutrition prevention.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Sudheer Saxena, Head of Dept., Cardiology, Max Hospital, Chandigarh explained, “Protein deficiency in India is a matter of concern for nutritionists. Changing living conditions, stress, and inconsistent diets are causing health problems. Egg & Chicken consumption is effective tool to tackle protein malnutrition’’.
