#AddingLifeToYears
People around the 🌏 are living longer than ever before. This is good news: we now have an opportunity to be & do what we value for longer.
But our societies & environments still require significant transformations to help us maximise this opportunity. 👉 who.int/health-topics/…
But our societies & environments still require significant transformations to help us maximise this opportunity. 👉 who.int/health-topics/…
Although we are living longer, our extra years are not necessarily being lived in good health.
In part, this is because the negative effects of living in unsupportive, unhealthy environments accumulate over time & often manifest in later life.

“Sugar is bad for your health” 🚩

The above statements are the reason for proper nutrition education.
FACT: We all eat sugar. It can be found in our everyday foods/fruits, including rice, yam, eba, sugarcane (of course), beets, apples, oranges, etc. These foods have naturally-occurring simple sugars. So yea, we all eat sugar, be it glucose, fructose, galactose.
However, the ‘fear’ lies with refined sugars. Question is, should they be “cancelled”. Let’s find out. Keep reading.👇
Sugar is a good source of quick energy when consumed in moderation (a little per time).

Have you read the @LancetCountdown’s new report on health and climate change? Check out @UHF_groups’ key takeaways 🧵👇
1) Climate change is impacting weather, #ecosystems, and human systems. This poses a threat to human #health. For example, young children, older people, and marginalized communities are more susceptible to health risks associated with high temperatures and #heatwaves.

1/14 Dear Richard, “all we have is silence” equally applies to deadly interplay b/ #COVID19 pandemic + #NCDs epidemic. #PLWNCDs are at heightened risk of becoming severely ill or dying from #C19. Health systems are being overwhelmed with PLWNCDs becoming acutely ill.
2/14 Our recent survey shows massive disruptions in access to #NCDs services, which will result in upsurge of illness and deaths from NCDs (projections forthcoming) which failing health systems are unlikely to be able to manage.

3/14 In 2000, #WHA53 recognized that “long-term needs of #PLWNCDs are rarely dealt with”. Since then, 200 million PLWNCDs aged 30-70 have died, majority living in #LMIC. Most deaths could have been avoided or delayed.

I am revisiting the topic of Public Issue of Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) covered a couple of days back. Only this time, I am focusing on Subordinated (Tier II) NCDs that are slipped in (sometimes slyly) along with senior secured NCDs of NBFCs. Thread (1/9)
Refer to the picture, below (the pic is representative only). A subordinated NCD (circled in red) appears as one of the many maturity options. A naive investor may think that it is similar to other NCDs on offer, just that it has a longer maturity. (2/9)
What many investors are unaware of is the fact that subordinated NCDs are paid after senior NCD holders in-case the company goes into liquidation i.e. subscribers to option I to VIII NCDs, in the pic above, would be paid before payments are made to option IX to XI NCDs. (3/9)
There have been a flurry of public issue of NCDs lately. These issues are primarily from NBFCs who are finding it tough to raise funds though banks and MFs. Here, I explain why the public issue NCDs are not in the interest of retail investors. Thread (1/9)
A) There is a common misconception that public issue NCDs are akin to Fixed Deposits (FDs). FDs of PSU banks are covered under the umbrella limit of 1 lakh deposit insurance. NCDs are not. A case in point is the expected loss to retail investors in DHFL public issue NCDs. 2/9
B) The rate offered by these NBFCs in public issue is much lower than what they offer in privately placed deals. Further, a substantial fee is cornered by brokers for selling these NCDs to retail investors. 3/9
