ప్రఖ్యాత భారతీయ టెలివిజన్ & చలనచిత్ర నటి, నిషా గణేష్ మాట్లాడుతూ, “ఒక టెలివిజన్ నటిగా నేను ఫిట్‌గా ఉండాలి. ఫిట్‌గా ఉండడమంటే కేవలం తెరపై అందంగా కనిపించడమే కాదు; ఇది ఆత్మవిశ్వాసాన్ని కలిగి ఉండటం, సత్తువ కలిగి ఉండటం. నా అత్యుత్తమ ప్రదర్శన చేయగలగడం. రెగ్యులర్ వ్యాయామం, సమతుల్య ఆహారం, ఆరోగ్యకరమైన జీవనశైలి నా ఫిట్‌నెస్ రొటీన్‌కు అత్యంత కీలకం. పోషకాహారం విషయానికి వస్తే, బాదం నా మిత్రుడిగా మారింది. అవి నా ఫిట్‌నెస్ లక్ష్యాలు ,మొత్తం శ్రేయస్సుకు మద్దతు ఇచ్చే అనేక ప్రయోజనాలను అందిస్తాయి. నేను ఎక్కడికి వెళ్లినా కొన్ని బాదంపప్పులను నాతో సులభంగా తీసుకెళ్లగలను..” అని అన్నారు.

ప్రముఖ దక్షిణ భారత నటి, సెలబ్రిటీ, ప్రణీత సుభాష్ మాట్లాడుతూ, “మన ఆరోగ్యం, శ్రేయస్సుకు ప్రాధాన్యత ఇవ్వడం చాలా కీలకమని నేను గట్టిగా నమ్ముతున్నాను. వ్యక్తిగతంగా, నా రోజువారీ జీవితానికి అవసరమైన పోషకాల గొప్ప మూలం బాదం అని నేను కనుగొన్నాను. నేను నా అల్పాహారం సమయంలో బాదంపప్పులను చేర్చడానికి ప్రయత్నిస్తాను. అవి రుచికరమైనవి మాత్రమే కాకుండా మధుమేహం నిర్వహణ, గుండె ఆరోగ్యం, బరువు నిర్వహణ వంటి అనేక ఆరోగ్య ప్రయోజనాలను కూడా అందిస్తాయి…” అని అన్నారు

సరైన దిశలో చిన్న, స్థిరమైన చర్యలు తీసుకోవడం భారతదేశంలో నాన్-కమ్యూనికేబుల్ వ్యాధులను ఎదుర్కోవడంలో సహాయపడుతుంది. కాబట్టి, ప్రతిరోజూ కొన్ని బాదంపప్పులను తినడం సులభమైన ప్రారంభం!
