Akshay Kumar urges people to donate calories
Akshay Kumar who is one of the fittest
actors in Bollywood recently associated himself with ‘Donate Your Calories To
Help Nourish Children’ campaign. This campaign is by brand Sugar Free, a sugar
substitute brand, in partnership with NGO AkshayaPatraFoundation.
Chef
Sanjeev Kapoor is also associated with the brand and will create nutritious
recipes for people to help save calories. The idea of the campaign is to donate
excess calories to the NGO. People who use this brand of sweetener will consume
less calories as opposed to people who use sugar. These saved up excess
calories which will be donated to support schoolchildren though mid-day meals.
This will help create a calorie balance so that everyone can have a nutritious
meal. Akshay Kumar unveiled this campaign

How walking, cycling improves mental health
A new study has observed that walking
or cycling to work can improve people’s mental health as compared to driving.
The study conducted by University of East Anglia and the Centre for Diet and
Activity Research (CEDAR) showed that people who stopped driving and started
walking or cycling to work benefited from improved wellbeing.
Lead researcher Adam Martin, from UEA’s
Norwich Medical School, said that one surprising finding was that commuters
reported feeling better when travelling by public transport, compared to
driving. The research team studied 18 years of data on almost 18,000
18-65-year-old commuters in Britain. Martin continued that their study showed
that the longer people spend commuting in cars, the worse their psychological
wellbeing and correspondingly, people felt better when they had a longer walk
to work.
The data allowed the researchers to look at multiple aspects
of psychological health including feelings of worthlessness, unhappiness,
sleepless nights, and being unable to face problems. The researchers also
accounted for numerous factors known to affect wellbeing, including income,
having children, moving house or job, and relationship changes.
