MAA President Dr G Rajendra Prasad released a book titled ‘Bhavi Taraanni Kapadagalama’ authored by renowned sports medicine specialist Dr Bakhtiar Choudhary at the Film Chamber of Commerce. T Chalapathi Rao (Babai), was also present on the occasion. The book focuses on ways to rescue children from serious ailments by adopting simple time tested practices.

Dr Bakhtiar authored this book more out of his concern for the future generations, who are fast adopting unhealthy lifestyles. It is an attempt to awaken the current and the future generations to the perils involved and rid themselves of the ill practices. The doctor has been working towards empowering the citizens and create an 'Health Aware Society.'

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Rajendra Prasad said, “This is not a book but a document of well researched scientific data and the information has to go into the public. I don't have the habit of reading books and I just wanted to glance through the book, but ended up reading the entire thing.

It highlights the need for being exposed to sunlight and the importance of Vitamin D.”Chalapathi Rao added, “Even if one practices 50 per cent of what has been written in the book, the benefit would be enormous and children will be healthy.”
