Gone are the days when eating habits were not well thought out, the amount of physical work those days people used to do is like a giant mountain in comparison to the physical work we do. We are also no at fault. We sit at a single chair the whole day working on PCs, because of the demand of the time, but with changing time your lifestyle needs alteration too. The sole reason for the deteriorating health of youth is the poor lifestyle we live, many of us are not even aware of the calorie consumption we have in a day. A recent survey regarding hospital expenditure stated that the expenditure done on hospital bills, medicines and all are
Five folds the expenditure done by an individual to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Imagine the amount we can save and use for a better cause.
Need For Nutritional Labelling
The reason for mentioning the exercise needed to burn the calories you just had on food labels is to make people aware of their consumption levels and a humongous positive change in eating habits has been seen. Imagine you are making the chili hot sauce pasta and when you throw the empty carton in the bin you suddenly come across the hot sauce bottle labels of it which state that you need to run 2km to burn those calories you just took. Instead of consuming the whole bottle at once, you will now consume only half of it or if the full bottle is consumed then you will want to burn those calories. Recently labels also do mention the amount which is a healthy intake and the possible problems one could incur if consumed in a larger amount.
Benefits
If the food labels let’s say the hot sauce bottle labels are marked by the amount of work one needs to do to burn off the calories, a sudden increase in the search for lifestyle-related content has been been in the web, and more people want to live a healthy lifestyle after experiencing the extremities of the covid era, they are well aware of the consequences of not taking their health and well being as the priority the labels provide them with the extra push needed by them, human physiology work on facts and figures, often times the observations have shown that we don’t take things seriously until and unless a quantified version of damage is listed before us. This would lead to a more aware and healthy society, if one is healthy only then he or she can work, and an unhealthy person will spend all of his earnings on hospital bills.
Conclusion:
If a situation like a pandemic reemerges we all need to be prepared for the worst. Further improved health would hike up our productivity curve, and more in-hand money to spend. Nutritional labelling is a very effective measure taken to increase lifestyle awareness which has shown a significant change in the eating habits of people.
