Speaking on the occasion, Chandra Chakraborty, Sr. Vice President, East & West, Amway India stated, “As an advocate for holistic health and wellbeing, we applaud the Government of India’s efforts to promote yoga globally with an emphasis on overall wellbeing. The interconnectedness between yoga and diet, especially the first meal of the day, is evident from a ^[1]study on yoga practitioners in India. The study found that 65% incorporated specific foods or beverages into their diet after starting yoga. Moreover, 72.4% mentioned that yoga influenced the timing of their first meal, with 63% starting to eat earlier. Therefore, we believe that by aligning yoga practices and nutritional intake with our body’s biological clock, we can optimize our health and vitality. At Amway, we champion this approach through our philosophy of Exercise, Positive Attitude, Rest, and Nutrition, advocating for a disciplined approach to the first meal and exercise such as yoga, complemented by need-based supplementation to address nutritional gaps in enhancing overall health and well-being. All of this aligns with our goal to transform lives by adopting healthy habits, helping to extend health span, and fostering a healthier tomorrow.”

In the West region, a series of vibrant physical and virtual events were orchestrated. These events featured invigorating yoga sessions and insightful programs aimed at fostering a deeper connection with the community.
