OFFICIALS’‘DISOBIDIENCE’BECOMES
A BONE OF CONTENTION FOR DoP!
Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur
he DoP has had
to face flack
from courts in
cases related to two
RAS officials as two
separate courts have re-
jected DoP’s action
against the officials and
the entire RAS cadre is
upbeat because of this.
The two RAS officers
are Anjana Sehrawat
(2018 batch) and Kulraj
Meena (2015 batch).
The DoP had trans-
ferred Anjana Sehrawat
from Kota to Baran via
the September 13 trans-
fer list. However, DoP
later suspended Anjana
for not following the or-
ders and not joining on
the post at Baran which
the DoP considered to be
a misconduct. However,
the DoP then suddenly
issued an order and from
Jaipur headquarters, An-
jana was transferred to
Jodhpur. Anjana ap-
proached the High Court
against this order and the
court, accepting Anja-
na’s plea, cancelled
DoP’s order of transfer-
ring her to Jodhpur. And
hence, Anjana has been
serving in Jaipur since
November 9.
The case pertaining
Kulraj Meena is also
similar, but in this, the
RAT has rejected DoP’s
orders. Kulraj was post-
ed in Jaipur Dairy as its
MD from November
2022 and the DoP trans-
ferred him to the post of
Assistant Collector, Bun-
di on October 30, 2023.
But stating that the post
of Assistant Collector in
Bundi is a junior post for
him, Kulraj did not join
at Bundi. Thereafter, the
DoP considered it to be
‘disobedience’ on Kul-
raj’s part and suspended
him on November 2. The
official then approached
RAT against DoP’s ac-
tion and after holding a
hearing on November 8,
the RAT ordered a stay
on the transfer order dat-
ed October 30.
Now Kulraj has staked
his claim on the post of
MD, Jaipur Dairy where-
as another RAS - Chand
Mal Verma - has already
taken the position of MD
and due to this, the dairy
administration is in a co-
nundrum. The Principal
Secretary of the depart-
ment - Sitaram V. Bhale
- has sought guidance
from DoP in the matter
as Kulraj is eager to sit
back in his old chair.

National Spokesperson
Sudhashu Trivedi fierce-
ly attacked Rahul Gandhi
over his statements. He
said that Rahul Gandhi
says that we will conduct
the caste census, but we
want to ask him who had
stopped the caste census?
“In the first Parliament of
independent India, during
1951, the then Jawaharlal
Nehru government had
banned census. Rahul
Gandhi should tell wheth-
er Nehru was irrelevant.
Rajasthan had the highest
inflation of 9.6 percent in
July. Recently, Congress
held a rally in Jaipur on
inflation, but Rahul Gan-
dhi spoke against Hindu-
tva,” he said.
Trivedi said that the
Jaipur bomb blasts ac-
cused were acquitted. In
the road rage incident in
Jaipur, they announced
compensation of Rs 50
lakh for the murder of a
youth of a particular
community and could not
even provide security to

RISHI SUNAK SACKS
BRAVERMAN, TORY
MP ATTACKS HIM
ritish Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s
sacking seems to have sparked trust issues
in the Rishi Sunak-led Conservative Party
government. Braverman was dismissed by Prime
Minister Sunak for her article in which she accused
the Metropolitan Police of adopting “double stand-
ards” in handling pro-Palestine protest. She wrote
that right-wing protesters “who engage in aggression
are rightly met with a stern response yet pro-Pales-
tinian mobs are largely ignored…” after skirmishes
between the far-right and pro-Palestine groups.
Braverman’s other statements also have been contro-
versial, particularly the one in which she said that
those sleeping on streets were doing so because it is
“lifestyle choice” made by the homeless.
In another statement she accused British Pakistani
men of being part grooming gangs that “pursue, drug,
rape and harm vulnerable English girls”. Braverman
has been replaced by James Cleverly. Soon after Ri-
shi Sunak fired her Tory member Andrea Jenkyns
criticized him for the ouster of Boris Johnson and
said “it is time for Sunak to go”.

SC ORDER ON CRACKERS
WAS DESTINED TO FAIL
he Supreme Court order banning firecrack-
ers across states on Diwali had little effect
on religious enthusiasts, some of whom es-
pecially enjoyed bursting the joined firecrackers in
defiance of the court order. How many of barium-
filled crackers were used no one would know as
monitoring becomes difficult when religious senti-
ments get involved. The Supreme Court, therefore,
may have erred in passing an order which gets flout-
ed with impunity. It is the responsibility of state gov-
ernments to decide on measures to keep the air clean
and breathable. If
there is haze all over
various cities and po-
litical parties think
that firecrackers are
not to blame, so be it.
This was not the
first time that the
Apex Court ordered
a ban on firecrackers
as severe air pollu-
tion in Delhi and ad-
joining regions has
become an annual
feature in these
months. There are
other agents causing
pollution---stubble
burning and vehicles
and industrial emis-
sions. Banning fire-
crackers a few weeks
before Diwali in a
knee-jerk reaction
has, therefore, been
counter-productive
over the last few
years. The vengeance with which firecrackers were
burst showed in the post-Diwali air quality index
which was recorded at 358 in Delhi on Monday. A
blame game between the Aam Aadmi Party and the
BJP was inevitable.
The Delhi government is now considering cloud
seeding for artificial rain to reduce the pollution
level. Delhi’s Environment Minister Gopal Rai has
met scientists from Kanpur IIT to discuss the feasibil-
ity of the idea. While artificial rain does settle dust
particles, it requires moisture-laden clouds for seed-
ing to take place making its success doubtful.

PERSPECT VE 04
Jaipur, Wednesday | November 15, 2023 www.firstindia.co.in firstindia.co.in/epapers/jaipur thefirstindia thefirstindia thefirstindia
he Election
Commission
of India
(ECI) has fi-
nally asked
political parties to furnish
by November 15 the de-
tails of all donations they
received through electoral
bonds ever since the
scheme began.
The ECI’s move comes
after the Supreme Court
had directed the poll panel
to produce an “up to date”
data of funds received by
political parties through
electoral bonds till Sep-
tember 30, 2023. In a letter
addressed to heads of all
political parties on No-
vember 3, the ECI has
sought the detailed par-
ticulars of donors against
each bond, the amount of
each bond, and the full par-
ticulars of the credit re-
ceived against each bond.
DECLINED TO STAY
The apex court had, inApril
2019, declined to stay the
electoral bonds scheme and
made it clear that it would
accord an in-depth hearing
on the pleas as the Centre
and the Election Commis-
sion had raised “weighty
issues” that had “tremen-
dousbearingonthesanctity
of the electoral process in
the country”.
The electoral bonds
scheme, which was noti-
fied by the government on
January 2, 2018, was
pitched as an alternative to
donations in cash made to
political parties as part of
efforts to bring in transpar-
ency in political funding.
In this article let’s look
at various factors like what
are electoral bonds and
what are the concerns
about the scheme… who
said what… and what was
the whole episode till now.
Petitions filed by NGOs
— Common Cause and
Association for Democrat-
ic Reforms (ADR) — and
the Communist Party of
India (Marxist) had chal-
lenged the validity of the
scheme as “an obscure
funding system which is
unchecked by any author-
ity.” The scheme’s critics
had pointed out that the
Centre had removed the
limit on the amount com-
panies could donate to po-
litical parties – that was 7.5
per cent of their average
net profits in the previous
three years – through
amendments to the Com-
panies Act, 2013, paving
way for unlimited funding
from firms, as was report-
ed in the media.
Appearing for petitioner
NGOADR before the apex
court on October 10, Ad-
vocate Prashant Bhushan
had said that amendments
made via the Finance Acts
of 2016 and 2017, both
passed as Money Bills,
have “opened the flood-
gates to unlimited political
donations” through the
scheme.
“But the point is the pur-
chaser of the bonds enjoys
anonymity. The purchaser
can then transfer the bonds
to a recognised party anon-
ymously… So, who has
transferred how much to a
political party is an-
onymised from the public
domain. Who is donating
to which political party is
not known. There is a com-
plete sanitisation of infor-
mation to the public,” he
had said and the same was
reported in the media.
IN DEFENCE
However, Attorney Gen-
eral R Venkataramani had
defended transparency of
the scheme by saying that
while the donors are not
known to the public, the
source of funds had to be
revealed to the SBI.
Vouching for its trans-
parency, the Centre
through Solicitor General
Tushar Mehta had said in a
previous hearing: “The
prescribed methodology of
receiving monies through
electoral bonds is so trans-
parent that it is impossible
for political parties to get
unaccounted or black
money as donation”.
It was also alleged that
as only the government-
owned bank SBI issued
these electoral bonds, the
Centre could know the
source of funding of its po-
litical opponents.
Also, here it may be
mentioned that in a written
submissionfiledintheapex
court on behalf of interve-
nor “Citizens’ Rights
Trust”, senior advocate Vi-
jay Hansaria had said the
electoral bonds scheme al-
lows political parties to re-
ceive donations “behind an
iron curtain away from the
public gaze”. “The provi-
sions of the amending Acts
runcountertothepurported
objective to achieve trans-
parency in electoral fund-
ing,” Hansaria had said in
his written submission.
He has said the scheme
of making a contribution to
a political party through
electoral bonds is a “com-
pletely non-transparent
mechanism” and is akin to
a cash contribution. On Oc-
tober 16, the apex court
said the pleas challenging
the validity of the electoral
bonds scheme for funding
political parties would now
be adjudicated upon by a
five-judge bench for an au-
thoritative pronouncement.
Meanwhile, a bench of
CJI DY Chandrachud and
Justices JB Pardiwala and
Manoj Misra said it would
hear the matter on 31 Octo-
ber and continue on 1 No-
vember, if required. The
apex court had two major
issues to focus on — one
being the legality of the
scheme and the violation of
citizens’ right to informa-
tion about the funding of
parties.
Advocate Bhushan had
argued: “This (electoral
bonds scheme) promotes
corruption as the source of
funding is anonymous, it is
violative of Article 21 and
the ‘non-decision’ in the
case compounding the
problem”.
However, to this, CJI
Chandrachud responded,
“We are here to decide the
case”. It may be noted that
Bhushan had also pressed
the Supreme Court to de-
cide on the validity of the
scheme before the 2024
general elections.
WHAT THE GOVT
HAD SAID
Attorney General (AG) R
Venkataramani, in a state-
ment filed before the apex
court, had said that citizens
do not have the right to in-
formation under Article
19(1)(a) of the Constitu-
tion regarding the source
of the funds. Venkataram-
ani had said that there can
be no general right to know
“anything and everything”,
without being subjected to
reasonable restrictions.
“The scheme in question
extends the benefit of con-
fidentiality to the contribu-
tor. It ensures and pro-
motes clean money being
contributed. It ensures
abiding by tax obligations.
Thus, it does not fall foul
of any existing right,” the
AG had told the SC.
Centre EC had earlier
taken contrary stands in
the court over political
funding, with government
wanted to maintain the
anonymity of the donors
and the poll panel batted
for revealing their names
for the sake of transparen-
cy. Meanwhile, SC inApril
2019 had declined to stay
the electoral bonds scheme
and made it clear that it
would accord an in-depth
hearing on pleas as Centre
EC had raised “weighty
issues” that had “tremen-
dous bearing on the sanc-
tity of the electoral process
in the country”
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
THE RBI
CONCERNS
The RBI had agreed that
the scheme had the po-
tential to clean up political
funding, but expressed
concern with some as-
pects. The then RBI Gov-
ernor, Patel had written to
Jaitley on September 14,
2017 stating that, “We are
concerned that the issue
of EBs as bearer instru-
ments in the matter cur-
rently contemplated has
the possibility of misuse,
more particularly through
use of shell companies”
He had also suggested
that the EBs should
be sold in digital form
(demat). However, the
government amended
the RBI Act to allow other
authorities to issue bearer
instruments. But in a letter
to Jaitley on September
27, 2017, Patel pointed out
that the issue of currency
was a monopoly function
of the central authority,
and the amendment that
diluted the RBI’s power
was a “matter of concern”
“Now that the RBI Act has
been amended, the gov-
ernment should in the least
not authorise any other
institution to issue EBs,”
he wrote. However, when
the scheme was notified in
January 2018, it was SBI
that was authorised to is-
sue EBs and not the RBI

HIGH POINTS
l The scheme was proposed by the late Arun Jaitley in his
Budget speech of 2017. The RBI and the ECI had flagged
several issues with the scheme.
l The government had maintained that the scheme was intro-
duced to clean up the political funding of elections.
l It had also said the scheme would lead to greater transpar-
ency, as the transactions would be carried out by individuals
and companies after following the SBI’s KYC formalities, and
the parties would have to open a special account with SBI to
receive the EBs. The government also maintained that giving
donors anonymity was of prime importance.
l In a letter to then RBI Governor Urjit Patel, then Economic
Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg wrote on October 5,
2017 that the scheme was “an earnest effort to make political
funding more accountable and clean,”
l Responding to the RBI’s suggestion that the bonds should
be issued in demat form and not as bearer bonds, Garg wrote,
“It is the considered view of the Government that EBs (elec-
toral bonds) in demat form will take away the key feature of the
scheme to provide anonymity of the donors vis-à-vis political
parties. The fact that information of this aspect will be with the
Bank, would make the scheme a non-starter.” The bonds were
eventually implemented as bearer bonds.

ances to women in Chhat-

Dharmendra Pradhan
said, “Congress’credibil-
ity is so low. They offered
subsidies for LPG. They
promised a ban on alco-
hol. They made schemes
in the name of women to
write off their loans. No
schemes were fulfilled.
Women are unsafe in
Chhattisgarh. Atrocities
are being committed here
on women. Congress has
no intention to work for
the development of wom-
en.” The Union Minister
stated that the Centre
worked hard to provide
subsidies on LPG cylin-
ders through Pradhan
Mantri Ujjwala Yojana
and Chhattisgarh was
also a significant benefi-
ciary of this scheme.
“We managed to give
10 crore LPG connec-
tions throughout the
country. From these 10
crore connections, it is
my estimate that 25 lakh
families in Chhattisgarh
have got these connec-
tions,” he said.
Union Minister Dhar-
mendra Pradhan on
Monday also said efforts
will be made to teach
students in the local
Chhattisgarhi language
under the New Educa-
tion Policy if the
Bharatiya Janata Party is
elected to power in
Chhattisgarh.
“PM Minister Naren-
dra Modi has said every
language in the country
is the national language.
During Raman Singh-
led BJPrule here, Chhat-
tisgarhi language was
given the status of state
language. Modi ji has
brought national educa-
tion policy under which
there is basic planning
to impart education up
to class 8th in respective
matrubhasha (mother
tongue).”, Pradhan said.

PRESIDENT ON CHILDREN’S DAY
Children are country’s future, says Murmu
PTI
New Delhi
resident Drou-
padi Murmu on
Tuesday said
children are the future of
the country and it is eve-
ryone’s duty to safeguard
them. Children from
various schools and or-
ganisations met the pres-
ident at Rashtrapati
Bhavan Cultural Centre
(RBCC) here on the oc-
casion of Children’s Day.
Speaking on the occa-
sion, the president said
that “we often say that
children are the future of
the country”.
“It is the duty of all of
us to safeguard this fu-
ture and ensure its proper
upbringing,” Murmu was
quoted as having said in
a statement issued by the
Rashtrapati Bhavan.
She stated that today’s
children have technology
and a lot of information
and knowledge. They are
showing their talent in
the country and abroad,
and it is the responsibility
of all of us to give the
right direction to the tal-
ent of our children.
Murmu told children
that if they recognise
their potential and keep
moving towards their
aim with full dedication
and hard work, they can
achieve their goal.
The President also ad-
vised them to adopt the
habit of reading.

Defence Minister Ra-

said that the perception

now it is not considered a
weak country.
Singh made the remark
while addressing a public
gathering in Madhya
Pradesh's Ratlam district
in view of the state as-
sembly polls scheduled
to be held this week.
Earlier, the perception
about India was that it is
a weak country, a country
of poor but this has
changed in the last nine
and a half years. Today
India is not considered a
weak country. Earlier,
when India used to speak
something on internation-
al platforms, people did
not listen to it seriously,
but today when India
speaks on international
platforms, the other coun-
tries listen carefully,
Singh said. India's stature
increased in the entire
world. Not only this, in
terms of economy, earlier
India stood at 11th place
in the world and today
India has taken a jump
and stands at fifth place,
the union minister added.
He further targeted the
Congress and asked what
had the Congress done in
its 50 years of rule?

Mallikarjun Kharge, for-

Pandit Jawaharlal
Nehru was the prime ar-

In his understanding,
only a Democratic struc-
ture which gave space to
various cultural, politi-
cal, and socio-economic
trends to express them-
selves could hold India
together, Kharge said.
Today, as we gather
in Shanti Van, to pay our
revered tributes to him,
we must preserve, pro-
tect and defend India's
Constitution and our
long-cherished Demo-
cratic institutions and
principles - his enduring
legacy, he said.
In another post, Kharge
recalled the words of
Nehru, who said, Citi-
zenship is in the service
of the country.

65 ROAD ACCIDENT CALLS RECEIVED BY
EMERGENCY SERVICE IN GOA DURING DIWALI
Panaji: The '108' ambulance service in Goa
received 65 calls pertaining to road accidents
during the Diwali weekend, 30 per cent more
than the daily average, the agency said on Tuesday.
Of the total accidents reported on Saturday and Sun-
day, 90 per cent were involving two-wheelers, said a
spokesperson of the ambulance service, which is be-
ing operated as part of a state government initiative.
The coastal state has a long held tradition of burning
the effigies of demon Narakasur on the eve of Diwali,
to mark the victory of good over evil.
The firecrackers burnt in Delhi were
sourced from Uttar Pradesh and Haryana,
and that certain individuals, including
police personnel from these states,
permitted the transportation of those
firecrackers to the city. Delhi would not
have been suffering had these states
implemented the ban on firecrackers and
their police done their duty properly.

After an unbeaten run in
the league stage, it’s
crunch time for Team In-
dia in the knockout clash
with the Kiwis in the
semis of the 2023 World
Cup. But it’s a nervous
moment for Indian fans
as India-New Zealand is
a repeat of the 2019
semi-finals.
While that crushing
loss still haunts many
people’s minds, this Indi-
an side is far more domi-
nating and consistent than
its predecessors. In con-
trast, the Kiwis lost the
league encounter against
Team India but will take
confidence from their
strong knockouts record
against the Indians.
A lot has been written
and spoken about the In-
dian juggernaut but at the
Wankhede stadium on
Wednesday, it will be a
freshstart.Thebattingand
the bowling both have
been complimenting each
other. Even against the
Netherlands, Indian bat-
ters posted a mammoth
total and finished off any
chances the opposition
may have dreamt off.
In the semis, it may be
a different story; the bat-
ters might want to take
time to settle and build
long innings rather than
take chances at the start
given the context of the
match. India’s bowling
has been a dream ma-
chine and the current
lineup is easily the best
ever in the ODI format.
Their tenacity and disci-
pline will be tested
against the gritty Kiwi
batsmen. Daryl Mitchell
Rachin Ravindra were
the ones to actually put
Indian bowling under
some pressure, especially
the spinners. In fact, New
Zealand posted the high-
est total against India in
this World Cup – 273. So,
Indian pacers would need
to pick up early wickets
to cushion their spinners
and hunt as a pack.
The Kiwis have ranged
from excellent to rather
ordinary in league match-
es. But their ability to
stay in the game for long
and look for that one vul-
nerability of the opposi-
tion to burst through,
makes them dangerous in
high octane encounters!
Both teams would like
towrestletheadvantagein
the first 15 overs of the
match. The toss might
play a crucial role too as
the ball swings for a small
period in the evening un-
der lights. On paper, India
are strong favorites to win
but once the match is un-
derway, both teams start
as equals. Whoever han-
dles the pressure better
will have the greater
chancetoplaythefinalsat

In the radiant mosaic of Diwali festivities, Bhaidooj stands as a
poignant tribute to the enduring bond between siblings. It is a
reminder that no matter where life takes us, the love between
brothers and sisters remains unwavering!
Mitali Dusad

n the resplendent tapes-
try of Diwali celebra-
tions, the festival of
Bhaidooj emerges as a
poignant expression of
the timeless bond be-
tween brothers and sisters. This day, fall-
ing on the fifth day of Diwali, is a cele-
bration of the unique relationship that
transcends time and distance, a moment
to cherish the unbreakable thread of love
that binds siblings together.
Bhaidooj is a festival that carries emo-
tional significance, weaving together sen-
timents of love, protection, and everlast-
ing camaraderie. As sisters meticulously
perform the traditional rituals, applying
the sacred tilak on their brothers’ fore-
heads and offering prayers for their well-
being, the air resonates with the warmth
of familial love. Brothers, in turn, shower
their sisters with blessings and tokens of
appreciation, symbolizing their commit-
ment to safeguarding and supporting their
sisters in every phase of life.
In today’s fast-paced world, where
geographical distances often separate
siblings, the essence of Bhaidooj can be
preserved through thoughtful gestures.
Virtual celebrations, video calls, and sur-
prise deliveries can bridge the gap, al-
lowing sisters and brothers to partake in
the joyous spirit of the festival even from
afar. Sisters can send personalized gifts
or organise surprise online events, creat-
ing a shared experience that transcends
the physical distance.
For brothers, the essence of Bhaidooj
lies not only in material gifts but also in
the emotional investment.Aheartfelt let-
ter, a thoughtful video message, or even
a surprise visit can amplify the emotion-
al quotient of the celebration. Under-
standing and respecting the aspirations of
their sisters, being a pillar of support, and
expressing genuine love are gestures that
truly make Bhaidooj special.

riglycerides
are a type of
fat in the body.
The human
body stores its
fat mainly as
triglycerides hence, it is the
commonest of body fats. As
triglycerides circulate in the
blood, can be measured. There
are two main sources of tri-
glycerides. One is the food in-
gested and the other is the con-
version of extra calories into
them. The human liver con-
verts extra calories into triglyc-
erides and it is because of this
reason that a better functioning
liver helps reduce triglyceride
levels in blood. An active life-
style working in tandem with
the sun cycle helps in maintain-
ing healthy triglyceride levels
in the blood and body. If a per-
son maintains high levels of
triglycerides in his blood then
his chances of having obesity,
type 2 diabetes mellitus, insu-
lin resistance and pancreatitis
are significantly more than
people with lower levels of
these fats in their blood.
This makes it obvious that
for a healthy life and longevity,
we should manage our daily
routine and food habits in such
a way that our blood lipid lev-
els stay within normal range
and preferably on the lower
side of the range. This can be
achieved easily provided we
have in-depth knowledge
about the foods that lower and
ones that elevate our triglycer-
ide levels. Foods that lower
triglycerides are dark leafy
vegetables, zucchini, squash,
green beans and eggplant
(brinjal ). Other foods that
lower triglycerides are berries,
kiwi and other citrus fruits.
Brown rice, wholemeal bread,
quinoa, oats, barley and buck-
wheat also reduce triglyceride
levels in the blood. Whole
grains, low-fat dairy, tofu,
chicken, fish, olive oil, nuts
and seeds all help in lowering
triglycerides. Physical activi-
ties, moderate body weight,
omega-3 supplements, niacin
(vitamin B 6 ) and fibrate drugs
also reduce blood cholesterol
levels.
It is also important to know
about the types of foods that
increase triglycerides. Sugary
food and drinks, saturated fats
like deep-fried food, red meat,
egg yolk, butter, lard, marga-
rine and fast food all increase
triglycerides in the body. Sim-
ilarly, candy, excessive fruits,
ice cream, sweetened yoghurt
and juices, jams and jellies,
milkshakes and smoothies,
corn syrup, glucose drinks, and
refined grains as in pizza and
pastries also contribute to
higher triglycerides. Excessive
consumption of alcohol also
raises serum triglyceride lev-
els. Honey is being promoted
by some companies as an agent
to lower triglycerides but with-
out any scientific evidence.
Honey has no consistent com-
position across the globe and
is rich in fructose which gets
converted into triglycerides by
our liver if consumed in ex-
cess. Manuka honey is sourced
mainly from manuka nectar.
This particular honey contains
niacin ( vitamin B6 ) which
helps in lowering triglycerides.
So, honey is not a reliable
cholesterol-lowering agent as
is being claimed and may even
contribute to increasing tri-
glycerides because of its high
fructose contents.
Triglycerides, if they are in
excessive amounts in our
blood, may pose a threat to
good health and can trigger se-
vere events like heart attack or
stroke. These life-threatening
events can be prevented easily
by lifestyle modifications and
food habits. Lack of knowl-
edge and social customs re-
garding various types of food
consumed are two major fac-
tors which are responsible for
frequent incidents of heart at-
tack and other blood circula-
tion-related episodes.Aseden-
tary lifestyle and stress are the
two equally responsible fac-
tors. Managing these four pa-
rameters certainly helps in liv-
ing a healthy life and most
probably, a prolonged one as
well.
