Today I came across a shocking report that nearly 2 crore people die from heart attacks and strokes every year worldwide, more than cancer and any other disease. It does not come all of a sudden, the heart gives enough hints before it happens. We have devices that track heartbeat and steps but nobody is tracking the actual condition of the heart.
Recently I read an article that said one third of Indian children between 5 to 9 have too much fat in their blood. This happens from eating too much sugar, junk food and processed food daily. It leads to heart disease later in life. They are just primary school kids and parents have no idea because children show no symptoms. No simple tool exists to track this at home also children snacks & food market plays major role in this.
I moved to the US three years ago. My parents are getting old. They never tell me when they are sick because they don't want me to worry.Sometime small health issues becomes serious. I just want to see their health every day, their medicines, any changes. And if something goes wrong I want to book a doctor or nurse should visit home. This is what every children need for their parents. Insurance is compltely different story.
I often plan to go to banks, hospitals,government offices but never know how long I should wait. Sometimes I reach and it is a short wait, other times it turns into hours standing in a queue. This often disrupts other important work. If I could just check the expected wait time or rush at that place like malls on weekends or any place before leaving home I can choose better timing to go there. Google Maps tells me traffic, in the same way based on no.of mobile devices at that particular location we can track whether the place is rushed or not, soltuion on this helps long queue places like Tiurpati, voting places etc..
Matcha started in Japan and became a global billion dollar trend. India has Moringa, clinically proven to lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity in diabetics. Millions of diabetics globally need natural daily solutions. Moringa grows right here in India and is still largely unknown. Someone who turns it into a daily drink or supplement the way Matcha did has a massive opportunity waiting.
70 percent of India's 1.4 billion people live in rural areas but 75 percent of healthcare infrastructure is in cities. Doctor to patient ratio in villages is below any standard. Old people & Pregnant women cannot travel long distances for a basic checkup. Ambulances are only for emergencies not regular consultations. Millions of people are living without basic access not because doctors dont exist, because they are all in the wrong place.
Last few years I've been eating food with black chipping coating and thought it was normal. Amma never threw the pan. She said still cooks fine na. That black thing floating in the dal. I thought it was pepper. It wasn't pepper. Every Indian kitchen has this pan, No, No PAIN.
After Sunita Williams came back from space I was watching a podcast and someone asked her what food astronauts eat to stay strong with so less food. That is when I came to know about spirulina. NASA astronauts use it because small amount gives very high protein. 100 grams spirulina has 57 grams protein, egg only has 13 grams. 4 times more protein than egg and it is natural plant. If NASA trusts it, why we are spending money on chemical protein powders with side effects. If someone procures quality spirulina and makes it into tasty powder drinks or snacks, heldful for fitness freaks with growing demand.
We track screen time and all but ignore stress, burnout and poor sleep, Body fat, water percentage, blood sugar, blood pressure and hormones like testosterone all matter but nobody sees them together in one simple view. Technology tracks eart rate and foot steps. But nobody built a simple system that tells us when we ourselves are running low, like a battery percentage for the human body.
I believe skin glow should come from inside. Creams and serums make skin look smooth for some time but you become dependent on them and cant stop using. Real glow that lasts comes from what you eat and drink daily. Most people spend thousands on skincare but never see results. There are so many natural antioxidant ingredients like beetroot, carrot many more which if made into a drinkable powder can actually improve skin from inside naturally. No chemicals no dependency, real ingredients that actually work. Skincare products is always a big market.
