Dr. Pawan Gupta’s Inspiring Message
Addressing the gathering, Dr. Pawan Gupta emphasized that health is a lifelong commitment, not a one-time effort. He urged everyone to adopt three essential pathways to holistic wellness:
1. The Way We Live
Incorporate exercise and meditation into daily routines.
Rise early to embrace the day with vitality and positivity.
Choose a healthy lifestyle over momentary comforts.
2. What We Eat
Embrace wholesome, nutritious foods, especially green leafy vegetables.
Eliminate tobacco and alcohol from life — choices that steal health and happiness.
Quitting tobacco is possible with medical therapy – call 977385664 to register
3. Regular Check-Ups
Prioritize routine screenings for chronic illnesses.
Monitor oral health closely, especially for individuals at high risk due to tobacco use.
Early detection of lesions can save lives.
In his words, “The journey to health begins with small, consistent steps — and today’s Walkathon is a testament to that spirit.”
A Community United by Purpose
The event beautifully showcased how collective efforts can drive powerful change. Children, parents, educators, and social workers walked side by side, symbolizing a united front against diseases rooted in lifestyle choices.
