Kanpur: Around 5,500 people gathered at Brijendra Swaroop Park on Tuesday morning to participate in a unique health camp that combined yogic exercises with a fresh approach towards healthy living and diet habits.
The camp was inaugurated by Maa Maitreyee, while Maa Gargi, Shunya Ji, Janak Anand, Kailash and Janki guided the participants through various yogic exercises. Men and women enthusiastically performed the exercises and expressed happiness over the positive effects they experienced during the session.
One of the major attractions of the programme was the concept of an "invisible breakfast". Before taking breakfast, participants offered prayers to the Sun god and recited a food mantra.
Explaining the concept, organiser Lalit Agarwal told TOI that the "invisible breakfast" referred to the invisible health benefits derived from natural food items. The breakfast included nuts, dry fruits, raw vegetables and seeds such as chia, sunflower and flax seeds, all soaked in water. Participants also consumed the soaked water along with the food, which, according to the organisers, has a direct positive impact on the human body.
This innovative approach to nutrition emphasizes the power of natural, unprocessed foods. The soaking process is believed to enhance nutrient absorption and make the food easier to digest. Organizers noted that the event aimed to promote holistic wellness through a combination of physical exercise and mindful eating practices.
Participants reported feeling energized and refreshed after the session, with many expressing interest in adopting similar habits in their daily lives. The success of the camp has sparked discussions about organizing similar events in other parts of the city.
