PM Modi Highlights the Risks of Excessive Oil Consumption

During Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi shed light on the health risks associated with high oil intake, stating, "Using less oil in food and controlling obesity is not just a personal choice, but also a responsibility towards our family. Excessive edible oil in food can cause various diseases like heart problems, diabetes and hypertension. By making small changes in our diet, we can build a healthier, stronger and disease-free future. We must act now and adopt these lifestyle changes. Doing it together can make the effort more engaging and fun."

PM Modi’s 10% Oil Reduction Challenge to Curb Obesity

Taking a step further, PM Modi has personally committed to reducing his oil intake by 10% and has challenged others to do the same. He stated, "After this Mann Ki Baat episode, I will request and challenge 10 people to reduce their oil consumption by 10%. I will also urge them to challenge 10 more people. I believe this will help us fight obesity more effectively."

This unique initiative aligns with PM Modi’s vision of a healthier India, where simple lifestyle changes like reducing edible oil intake can prevent severe health conditions such as fatty liver and heart attacks. The movement has already gained traction, with many individuals coming forward to accept the challenge and spread the message of mindful eating.
