Advice on lifestyle
The policeman also offered advice on daily habits and the broader issue of drug addiction among youth. "Eat dinner before 9 pm," he recommended. Addressing the impact of narcotics, he said, “Kids are addicted to narcotics-related substances; we have to pull them out of it. Parents must keep an eye on them. We have to create awareness regarding this. They should engage in some physical activity. That will definitely pull them out of it.”
The WHO perspective
This insight into a Tamil Nadu policeman's regimen offers more than just fitness tips; it serves as a blueprint for discipline and a call to action for a healthier younger generation.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) highlights that regular physical activity is crucial for both physical and mental health. According to the WHO, regular exercise helps prevent and manage non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and several cancers.
Per WHO, physical activity reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety and enhances overall well-being. Engaging in sports and exercise can be a protective factor against substance abuse, providing a healthy outlet and improving self-esteem and cognitive function. The WHO recommends at least 150–300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity per week for adults to maintain optimal health.
