World Health Day, observed on April 7, is a reminder that good health isn’t just about living longer—it’s about living a healthy and better life. One of the most important factors is nutrition because a balanced diet plays a key role in overall health. A simple yet effective step is incorporating nutrient-rich foods like almonds into daily meals. California Almonds, India’s most popular almonds, are a natural source of 15 essential nutrients, including protein, dietary fiber, healthy fats, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin E, making them a smart addition to a healthy lifestyle.Ritika Samaddar, Regional Head – Dietetics, Max Healthcare, New Delhi, said, “Shifts in dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles have led to a rise in obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes in India, making it more important than ever to prioritize overall wellness.
I always advise my clients that nutrition is the foundation of good health and small, mindful choices—like incorporating more vegetables, fruits, and nutrient-dense nuts like almonds—can make a big difference.” Dr Rohini Patil, MBBS and Nutritionist, said, “With an increase in lifestyle-related diseases, nutrition has never been more important.”
This World Health Day is a reminder that good health is a journey shaped by thoughtful choices and balanced nutrition.
