The Camp was inaugurated by Bhagwan Dass, Guru Mata Bimla Devi, Dr Sushil Sharma along with Gharu Ram Bhagat (MLA Suchetgarh), Ajay Sharma (Commandant 165 BT BSF ) and prominent members of the Sanstha.
While interacting with the people Dr Sushil stated that emerging insights in nutrition and preventive cardiology revealed that the mediterranean diet and the planetary health diet despite their distinct cultural and philosophical foundations offer remarkably similar advantages for promoting longevity, metabolic health, and environmental sustainability. “Individuals who consistently follow either dietary pattern tend to experience lower rates of all-cause mortality, reduced incidence of cardiovascular diseases, improved glycemic control, and overall better health markers. These diets emphasize nutrient-dense, plant-forward eating: abundant in fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats such as olive oil, while restricting red meat, processed foods, and added sugars. This balance of macronutrients and micronutrients not only protects against chronic illnesses but also enhances gut health, reduces systemic inflammation, and supports healthy aging,” Dr Sharma said.
