Which influencer has proposed an idea to reduce sugar intake?
Do you remember Revant Himatsingka, the health influencer? He's the one who told everyone about the high sugar content in Cadbury's Bournvita chocolate 'health' drink. We even wrote an article about it.
Afterwards, Cadbury reduced the sugar in the drink. It was all thanks to Revant for speaking up about the high sugar content in the first place. Now, he has an idea to help people drink less sugary soft drinks.
What idea has he come up with?
First, people must be taught about the bad effects of eating too much sugar. Then, let's make a board that shows how much sugar is in each soft drink.
We can also show water on the board because it has no sugar. This will help people see that drinking water is better than soft drinks. Next, we can put this board in places like the school canteen, the college mess, and the office canteen.
Revant Himatsingka also requested the government to put these boards in all public schools in India. He also asked teachers, parents, and office managers to make a sugar board for their school, home, or workplace.
He hopes that people, especially children, will drink less sugary soft drinks and lead a healthy life after seeing the board.
What are some harmful effects of consuming too much sugar?
When kids eat too much sugar, it can make them sick. Too much sugar can cause tooth decay, resulting in cavities and other dental issues.
Eating too much sugar can also make kids gain too much weight, which is not healthy. This can cause more problems when they grow up, like high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. You can also read this article to understand how sugar affects our bodies.
We must maintain a balanced diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, grains, etc., to stay healthy and not drink excessive soft drinks.
