The 'Anti Obesity Day' is an attempt to spread awareness about the adverse effects of obesity, its resultant medical ailments and to equip people with the correct techniques for effective tackling of the problem"
Complimenting VLCC on its successful journey over the years, Kapil Dev said, "It gives me immense pleasure to be present here on this important day, observed as Anti-Obesity Day.
Obesity, after destroying the other parts of the World, is slowly setting into India. People marred by sedentary lifestyles and lack of awareness are most hit with the problem of Obesity. I am glad that VLCC, truly standing to its image of a 'people's brand' has been actively promoting the cause of eradicating the problem of Obesity, over the years. I wish them all the success and my support in their future endeavors dedicated to this cause.
This year VLCC started the drive against obesity through a series of activities in all its centers across India. The initiative involved VLCC holding health camps, melas, where the local residents were educated about their health through a Body Composition Analysis (BCA) which was analyzed through a wellness meter check, conducted by VLCC Health experts.
