                                          successfully overcome obesity:







                                              Namaskar    everyone.   I,
                                          Neeraj Chopra, want to tell you
                                          all today that our honourable
                                          Prime Minister Shri Narendra
                                          Modi ji has discussed obesity in
                                          ‘Mann ki Baat’ this time, which
                                          is a very important issue for
                                          our country. And I somehow
                                          relate to this thing with myself
        These statistics are very serious   too,  because  when  I started
        and force all of us to think about   going  to  the  ground,  I was  also
        why this is happening. Excess     quite  overweight at  that  time,
        weight or obesity gives rise to   and when I started training and
        many  kinds  of  problems  and    started eating well, my health
        diseases.   We can together       improved a lot, and after that,
        deal with this challenge with     when I became a professional
        minor efforts. For example,       athlete, I got a lot of help in that
        one method I suggested was        too. And I would also like to tell
        ‘reducing the consumption of      that  parents  should  also play
        edible oil by ten percent (10%)’.   some outdoor sport or the other
        Decide that you will use 10% less   and take their children along and
        oil every month. You can decide   create a good healthy lifestyle,
        that while buying oil for cooking,   eat well and give your body an
        you will buy 10% less oil. This will   hour or however much time you
        be an important step towards      can in a day for exercise. And
        reducing obesity.  Today, in      I would like to add one more
        ‘Mann ki Baat,’ I also want to    thing: recently our Prime Minister
        share some special messages       said that the oil used in food
        on this topic with you. Let us    should be reduced by up to 10%
