Zydus website on healthy lifestyle

Mumbai: The cosmetics division of Zydus Cadila has launched a new comprehensive and interactive online guide - www.sugarfree-india.com - for leading a stress-free healthy lifestyle. Besides providing information on Sugar Free, this interactive website provides details on low calorie sweeteners and deals with a gamut of macro health and lifestyle issues.

The salient features of this site include different aspects like managing calories and weight-loss management. Sedentary lifestyles, high-calorie diet, lack of physical activities, and their fallout in the form of lifestyle diseases like obesity, diabetes, cholesterol and heart disease are posing a great health risk. All of these health hazards can be linked to one root cause — excess calorie intake.

The website, with interesting sections like 'Calorie Needs Calculator,' 'Calorie Burnt Calculator' and 'Body Mass Index Calculator,' provides a personal health chart on what one's ideal calorie count and ideal weight should be. A diet planner also allows one to maintain a record of one's daily dietary habits. The 'Sugar Free Low Calorie Recipe' corner provides tips for new, tasty dishes. At the dietician's corner visitors can post their queries and get online guidance.

They can also download interactive and visually stimulating screen savers through this interactive section. The newly-launched website aims to be an online health management guide for health conscious individuals in the age-group of 25 to 45 and help them adopt healthy dietary habits and ward off health risks.
