India has come to the top position by pushing China behind in terms of population. India is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Of course, at present, India has the largest number of youth, but it cannot be denied that in the next 25 years, the number of elderly people will also increase at the same pace. Anyway, the elderly population in India is also increasing rapidly. Experts estimate that if the population of elderly people continues to grow at this pace, then in the next 25 years the number of elderly people in the country will increase 3 times. If we talk about the number of elderly people at present, then the number of elderly people in India is about 10.40 crores. It is estimated that by 2050, it can increase to 31.90 crores. This can be a matter of concern for any country.
Aging has become one of the biggest social challenges of the 21st century
In such a situation, experts say that there is an urgent need to pay attention to health related issues to deal with the increasing population of the elderly, because despite all efforts, the health related challenges of the elderly are increasing. Anil Rajput, Chairman of ASSOCHAM’s National Council on CSR, said during a discussion that “elderly people need supportive environments and policies to maintain their independence, remain active and fully participate in the community. Globally, aging has become one of the biggest social challenges of the 21st century. In India, the number of elderly people is expected to increase 3 times in the next two and a half decades.”
What do health experts say about this?
Many types of health related diseases are seen in elderly people. In such a situation, if health experts are to be believed, yoga can be helpful in controlling heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and joint problems in the elderly. Yoga can reduce brain damage and can also slow down the effects of aging. Therefore, all the elderly are advised to do yoga regularly and take care of their health as much as possible. The thing to note is that yoga will help them avoid diseases for a long life and old age will pass easily without any hassle and trouble.
