“Youngsters these days face many health challenges due to a sedentary lifestyle, triggered mainly by social media addiction. To break this vicious cycle, I call upon youth to be physically active and adopt exercise and sports as a way of life. Bodybuilding too can be of great help to maintain a healthy physique,” said Nain.
