Subject : Inadequate promotion of hazardous diets
Respected Sir,
1️⃣Through the column of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw people’s attention towards the increasing and inadequate promotion of hazardous diets which claim to make us slim or fit etc . 2️⃣ I believe that these diets are just gimmicks to hoard money from innocent people and they do more harm than good. 3️⃣ I recently came across an article where a 25 - year old woman suffered a cardiac arrest after being on a diet of only liquids and certain steroids for more than a month. This is just one example but I know that there are many people out there who believe that these shortcuts can be fruitful. 4️⃣Through your article, I would also like to propose the implementation of “wholesome lunch month” where people can be told the importance of a healthy diet which contains each and every nutrient and no sacrifice has to be made of a certain food item.
5️⃣ Please be kind enough to give this article a thought. I will be highly obliged and grateful
Thanking you
Yours Faithfully,
Sunidhi Prakash
