Health is a treasure which everyone cherishes. Unfortunately, with our modern way of living, this is becoming more and more difficult to achieve but it is not impossible. Healthy life can start with easy steps like choosing the right ingredient in a dish and making small tweaks in the meal.
Sugar is one such ingredient that is used on a daily basis and is a primary element of our daily diet, making up a large proportion of our daily calorie intake. Experts believe that sugar consumption is a major cause of obesity and many chronic diseases, such as diabetes, may increase risk of heart disease, cancer, skin ageing, cellular ageing etc. Sugar can be easily replaced by all-natural sweeteners such as honey that has proven health benefits. The same can be said about several elements that we consider a necessity in our daily diet. Healthier living is a conscious choice.
Ms Agnimitra Paul, Chairwoman, CII Indian Women Network, said, “CII IWN is always focused to make the lives of women and everyone around them better. With our busy lives nowadays, it is important to make smart choices that can bring us a better quality of life without any compromise. We are glad to have partnered with Sly Fox Gastro Club for this session where we learnt something new and interesting. It was a really fun and beneficial session for all of us.”

Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Paromita Ghosh, Convener, Indian Women Network (IWN) said, “We are taking a step towards an enhanced future with this session.
