Its time to look at health seriously !!

A long time friend of mine, Kartik Jayaraman has launched a great site called Desifitness.com. Kartik has been researching on Health and Nutrition since a few years now and Desifitness has hit the nail at the right spot at the right time primarily because it targets not only exercise and fitness but also the diet and nutrition of desis which is so much different from everyone else.

The life style of desis in India/Pakistan/Bangladesh etc (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desi, especially in foreign countries like US or UK can be fairly lethargic. Since things are situated pretty far away people end up traveling everywhere in car. Sometimes even a couple of minutes brisk walk is also a far cry. Moreover, work pressure adds increased stress. Less time for day to day activities like cooking means eating mostly outside (burgers , pizza, KFC etc).

All this collectively leads to complete neglect towards health. As a result most of the desi junta ends up having a big belly which later is hard to shed.

DesiFitness.com offers a forum where Desi's can discuss, ask and opine on different issues they face as far as health is concerned. I'm subscribed to the forum. It has some of the best health and nutrition experts on-board, who can be consulted easily.

Overall I highly recommend this site to Desi professionals no matter which part of the globe they are from.
