 Points

·        The Mela will provide budding artists a platform to test their talent.

·        Healthy competitions held at the Mela bring the best out of participating children, nurses and doctors.

·        Perfect Health Mela is the right spot to know how to lead a healthy life up to the age of 100.

·        Combination of weight, training and aerobics exercise is the best prescription for the overweight patients at risk for diabetes and heart disease. Aerobics exercise alone is also good as it reduces weight and inches off the waist line. Weight lifting alone has little benefit.
