The ascendency of India as an economic world power

I always though that women were more conscious about beauty and fitness than men. It seems that this is not the case in India- not at least in the major cities in the country. IBN Live reported:

These are the findings of the third National Family Health Survey. According to the survey, 4 out of every 10 people in India are unfit.

 

As far as the metro cities go, every second person is diagnosed to be unfit. The survey also found obesity to be the biggest health concern among Indians just like their Western counterparts.

 

In the study of metro cities, 55.5 per cent of Chennai’s women and 43.8 per cent of its men fell short of a national ‘fitness index’. In Mumbai, 50 per cent women and 40.5 per cent men were found to be 'unfit'. The ‘fitness index’ generally took into account the height-weight index and both overweight and underweight people are ruled 'unfit' in the survey.

 

As far as Delhi's fitness figures go, only 43.5 per cent of Delhi's women and 34.4 per cent of its men fall in the ‘unfit’ category.

The main problem is that people in India are not that much health conscious like the western people. In Indian TV channels, you can find many attractive advertisements of soft drink, pizza and other food items round the clock. However, this is not good for the Indian economy.
