Sharing a short reel posted by Yuvraj Dua, in which he had urged the PM to advise his father to reduce sugar intake, Modi said he would make the same appeal in the video not only to Dua’s parents but also to “everyone present there.”Dua’s post framed the message in a personal context, linking everyday choices at home to long-term health.
In a follow-up slide, the PM underlined the risks of excessive sugar consumption, noting its association with the increased burden of many diseases and obesity. He encouraged people to include yoga in their daily routine and called it an effective way to stay fit.
This message is in line with the government’s broader emphasis on preventive health care, including lifestyle changes such as dietary control and physical activity, to combat non-communicable diseases. With obesity and diabetes on the rise in India, the Prime Minister’s social media outreach has placed a renewed emphasis on small, actionable steps.
The tone of the posts remained informal but straightforward – eat well, eat healthy, stay active, and be careful with sugar.”
