In response to this marketers have launched major products and even services that contribute round 600 billion INR to the wellness market in India .This industry is continuing to grow and it still remains a fraction which is about 4 % or less of the overall consumer expenditure in India. Indian consumers have shown a wide display of behaviour characteristics right from passive where demand of such wellness products is very less to believers for whom wellness is an integral part.

There are many different methods and routes we can take to become healthy especially by exercising, eating healthy and drinking a lot of water.

It helps prevent diseases which can occur in our bodies like cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and many other diseases. It improves our stamina, for instance by walking and cycling, which trains your body to become more efficient and use less energy for the same amount of work. Exercising strengthens and tones your body for an improved posture and it helps to make your muscles firm and toned. It is also a key to weight control because it burns calories which helps in making our bodies even healthier. Another way to become healthy is by eating a lot of fruits and vegetables.

...A Healthy Life Brooke Williams Sci163 Kristina Worthington May 27, 2014 A Healthy Life Health and wellness is an important part of everyday life and it includes fitness and nutrition, preventing chronic disease, environmental awareness, and protecting your immune system. There are many ways that each of the topics can affect your life and the way you live it. The knowledge of these can give way to a more healthy life. Wellness is much more than merely physical health, exercise or nutrition. It is the full integration of states of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The model used by our campus includes social, emotional, spiritual, environmental, occupational, intellectual and physical wellness. Each of the seven dimensions act and interact in a way that contributes to our own quality of life. There are many ways to implement them all into our everyday society but the three in particular that I would give more focus and put emphasis on would be environmental, emotional, and intellectual. Emotional wellness implies the ability to be aware of and accept our feelings rather than deny them, have an optimistic approach to life, express feelings freely and manage feelings effectively, express emotions appropriately, adjust to change, cope with stress in a healthy way, and enjoy life despite its occasional disappointments and frustrations. Emotional includes the “capacity to manage one’s feelings and related behaviors including the realistic assessment of one’s limitations...

...Title: Get Down and Shape Up Everyone wants to have the perfect body. Everybody wants it fast, everybody wants it now. Though it is not the most popular route towards the perfect body, there is really no better way to have that perfect body other than to start weight loss exercises together with a smart diet. It is very important that these two always go together. Why? You burn the most fat and your calorie intake is minimal. Secondly, to put these two together will give you faster results. If one is missing then you will just be wasting your efforts and will be achieving minimal results. A smart diet will help your body recover from the intensity of your exercise without compromising your body and your health. A smart diet will also help you lose the unwanted weight in you by reducing your body’s intake of fattening food thus gaining less than what you sweat in your exercise. Hence, weight loss exercise together with a smart diet program is the only way to healthily lose weight and leaving one or the other out does not get you the desired results. A lot of people are getting this wrong. Some are too lazy to do it properly. Or do both for that matter. People must know that there are no shortcuts to this if they want the best results. No drugs, no surgeries, no pills, or any alternatives will be better than exercise and diet. Besides, most of those are not effective and they have their side effects. Let me share my experience with exercising independent from diet and vice versa...

...Define sex and its relationship to risky behavior The word sex means to engage in sexual intercourse which includes vaginal, anal, and oral. Risky sexual behaviors are ones that contribute to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Sex and its relationship to risky behavior is Not Socially accepted because people usually look down upon people with multiple sex partners because it looks like they’re unable to commit. Furthermore, risky sexual behavior is not socially accepted because people with STI’s are unwanted in relationships. Anonymous Sex Partners One of the most common ways of obtaining an STI is via sex with multiple anonymous partners. With one partner you are more likely to know their sexual information. It is commonly known that having numerous sexual partners are more frequent on college campuses or areas in which alcohol is being consumed. That being said, nationwide one out of six people aged 14 to 49 have genital herpes. When having multiple anonymous sex partners you are at a 16 percent chance of acquiring the infection and that number increases the more you continue to do so. In conclusion, the more people you have sexual contact with, the greater you’re overall exposure risks. Contraceptive and Condom Usage In America more than half of the population is sexually active. For example, almost half of all high school students have already had a sexual encounter by the 11th grade according to the “Introduction to Community...

In today’s society, there are many different ways of achieving physical fitness. These can range from the popular circuit training P-90X DVD’s, Cross Fit gyms, running or cycling, swimming, old school body builder gyms, yoga centers, regular fitness centers, or just good old fashion recreational sports. There is something out there for everyone, but it is up to each individual to find out what suits his or her lifestyle the best. An individual must also know his or her physical limitations so that he or she does not strain the body or incur more serious injuries. Physical fitness is an amazing thing, it helps the participant feel better physically, perform better mentally, and transforms the human body visually. Being physically fit is something that is somewhat overlooked in today’s society. It is constantly preached that if a person exercise’s regularly he or she will feel better. This is true, but it is important for that person to know his or her physical limitations when exercising. Exercise must be done on a regular basis and ascend gradually to be effective. If someone overstrains his or her body he or she will be tired, sore, and lose the drive to continue exercising.

Two major factors I will be talking about today are healthy eating, physically /mentally and exercising. Healthy eating will surely gave you a edge on weight loss(PAUSE) here are some ideas to try are eat breakfast, which I believe a lot of people skip because they don’t have time but eating breakfast stimulates how you feel for the rest of the day and also and may slow down your metabolism. Eat more fruits and vegetables; many people have a problem with this because they don’t buy them. When going grocery shopping hit the produce side first and keeping your fruit on the counter, which will be a reminder to eat them. When eating a salad, use a little bit of salad dressing. Only use 1 tablespoon. Let the dressing coat not drench the salad. When eating meat choose reduced fat or the leanest cuts. Also make sure you trim all the visible fat and drain the grease.

...Breastfeeding – no introduction necessary The focus of this review paper is on presenting and substantiating common knowledge and beliefs with scientific research and facts to demonstrate the advantages of breast milk feeding in early stages of human life and in years that follow. Discussion of non-scientific, i.e. social, economic, etc., aspects of breastfeeding will be limited, with primary focus given to human health outcomes for infants and mothers. The structure of this paper is decisively unconventional: where the author has chosen to discuss the body of common knowledge about breastfeeding before delving into the scientific research review. The intention is to draw the readers’ attention to the vast body of proven and observed advantages of breastfeeding for infant and mothers. Breastfeeding advantages – more than just food Breastfeeding is a natural process. Throughout human history breastfeeding was, and in many places around the world still is, a means to a healthy start to a human life. With the development of baby formula, and its availability, and relatively low cost, breastfeeding is now commonly thought to be a choice in the developed world. No longer a means to survival, no longer a requirement. To some, the advent of the baby formula is a direct form of feminine liberation. To others, baby formula is a necessity for medical or circumstantial reasons that are not driven by the freedom of choice. Those that choose the formula under pretenses other than necessity...

It is universally acknowledged that we can use a smart phone not only chat or text with others but also play games, read books, listen to the music, surf on the internet. Sometimes we can even say that smart phone is a small computer. Obviously, we use smart phone as an entertainment tool. Firstly, smart phone can be used as an audio player. It can provide you the music whenever you want , like everyday in the metro, music is necessary for me. Secondly, a smart phone sometimes can be instead of e-book. Although I think that E-book is popular nowadays, you don’t need to buy it if you have a smart phone. In addition, downloading books in phones instead of buying books in stores also means that you are an environmentally friendly person. Simultaneously, many games are free to access if you are tired from work or study. Finally, smart phones can be used in different ways so in my opinion, using a smart phone as an entertainment tool can make our life becomes simple and colorful.

In addition, the entry or exit from this market is not restricted. As a result, we can conclude that McCain is a competitive monopolist as it seeks to take control over this industry. In 2005, a challenging environmental factor was facing McCain. The concerns about obesity were rising dramatically, especially in children, as over 22 million children under the age of 5 and around 155 million school-age children worldwide were severely overweight.¹ McCain's view is that its chips can and do play a role in a healthy balanced diet and it is continually finding ways to ensure that its products are as healthy as possible, for example, McCain dictates product standards to the potato growers that supply them, and it may choose to have more vertical control (i.e., direct ownership) over the processing, packaging, and distribution stages of the supply chain for their french-fries because these practices may entail sophisticated production techniques that are best performed in-house.² In response to the challenge, McCain made a SLEPT analysis to study the social, legal, economic, political and technological factors that affect the company business, and as a result they made the following changes and adaptations: 1. Quantities usage reduction of salt and oil. 2. Usage of sunflower oil instead...
