In his talk Dr. Pramod Kumar advised the students on how to maintain a healthy skin through healthy eating habits. “Skin is the mirror of good health. Healthy skin is obtained by drinking two litres of clean water daily, having nutritious food consisting of local fruits and leafy vegetables rich in iron content and eggs. Exposing the body to sunlight for at least 15-30 minutes results in the supply of the required quantity of Vitamin D to the body,” he said.

He advised the students to reduce the use of soap, as too much lather harms the skin by killing good bacteria. “Use natural moisturizer and hair conditioner for the skin and hair if required,” he said, “Check the ingredients of the lotions and other skin products for steroids before use, as steroids in higher doses harm the body.” He also advised the students to reduce the consumption of sugar, dairy products and maida. He recommended that the students wear cotton fabrics to combat the high humidity in Mangalore.

Institute Director Dr. Molly S. Chaudhuri presided over the function. Anujna, Secretary, Students Council welcomed the gathering. Chinthan, Final MBA student, gave a vote of thanks. Arpith anchored the programme. Ashalatha was the faculty coordinator of the talk.
