MANIPAL - Manipal Laughter
Yoga held a special talk on low-carbohydrate diets and diabetes management on
March 23, 2023, at MJC Grounds. The event featured Rotarian Karunakar Shetty,
one of the organization's founding members, who shared insights on the benefits
of a low-carb diet, its role in controlling blood sugar, and its importance in
combating the aging process.
Shetty, who has maintained
excellent health at the age of 75, discussed the advantages of incorporating
non-vegetarian, low-carb foods into one's diet, with examples from his own
experience. He informed attendees that fish, chicken, eggs, and butter are all
low-carb options, and even provided advice on preparing chicken dishes and
soups with specific ingredients.
During the event, Shetty also
highlighted the work of Dr. Bhujanga Shetty, Chairman of Narayana Nethralaya,
in reversing diabetes. Dr. Sureshramana Mayya, a follower of Dr. Bhujanga
Shetty's diet plan, commended Karunakar Shetty for his talk and encouraged
attendees to adopt a low-carb diet plan to maintain good health.
The event was attended by all members of Manipal Laughter Yoga, who expressed their appreciation for Rotarian Karunakar Shetty's efforts to spread awareness about maintaining good health through lifestyle choices such as low-carb diets. This talk not only aimed to educate members about diabetes management but also inspired them to lead healthier lives.
