The concept of Wellness
Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. Wellness is more than being free from illness; it is a dynamic process of change and growth.
Maintaining an optimal level of wellness is absolutely crucial to live a higher quality life. Wellness matters. Wellness matters because everything we do and every emotion we feel relates to our well-being. In turn, our well-being directly affects our actions and emotions. It’s an on-going circle. Therefore, it is important for everyone to achieve optimal wellness in order to subdue stress, reduce the risk of illness and ensure positive interactions.
Role of Nutraceuticals
Nutraceuticals have received considerable attention due to their speculative safety, potential nutritive and therapeutic effects on wellness. They are alternative to modern medicines and also provide a healthy living. To avoid side effects associated with medicines, live longer expectancy and increase the health value of our diet, nutraceuticals are being preferred. They possess numerous therapeutic benefits like anti-obesity, immune enhancement, a natural antioxidant, cardiovascular effects, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory effects, etc. Major constituents of nutraceuticals are nutrients, herbals and dietary supplements which help to maintain health, function against various diseases and ensure a better quality of life. Present-day, exploration and exploitation of disease-fighting properties of phytochemicals are found in both food and non-food plants which has created a renaissance in human health and nutrition research. However, it has become a social issue as food composition has been scientifically proven to avoid lifestyle-related diseases. Based on assumptions like, to avoid side effects associated with medicines, live longer and increase the health value of our diet, Nutraceuticals are being preferred.
Several nutraceutical products are available in market and claims are numerous. But is the product we are using giving us a scientific evidence for its usage and effect!!!
Land to Dining Table Via Lab
The Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR) completed 50 years of useful service to the nation in 1979 and decided to organise an Experimental Transfer of Technology Programme – “The Lab to The land”.
A land lab is an area of land that has been set aside for use in biological studies. It is literally an outdoor laboratory based on an area of land. A lot of work has been done by our scientists for improving our agriculture skill and produce, not only quantitatively but qualitatively as well.
Considering the changes in our society, where a fast-moving lifestyle is the new way of life, We, at Som Herbal Specialitiesrealized that its time’s demand to modify the cycle and provide wellness products that are evidence-based with research backing. We thought this to be a need of the hour for the well-being of our people.
We conceptualised Modified Cycle,
LAND TO DINING TABLE VIA LAB.
A doctor prescribes you medicine in the need for treatment of a disease and is responsible for the outcome of the prescribed agent, but for neutraceuticals which we generally take over the counters, who is responsible?? We should be aware of that!!
