International Day of Yoga was celebrated with much fanfare and participation in the State capital on Tuesday.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, whose special message was read out at the State-level celebrations organised by the National AYUSH Mission at the Central Stadium here, stressed on the importance of healthy food habits and regular exercise to maintain good health. Yoga was known the world over as a form of exercise that instilled energy for the mind and the body at the same time. Yoga was also effective in preventing lifestyle diseases, he said.
Pointing out that this year’s Yoga day observance stood for ‘Yoga for Humanity’, Mr. Vijayan said the theme stressed on the relevance of instilling good health and fresh mind among all sections, including the disadvantaged ones.
