Vimal Wellness: Reimagining Oils for a Healthier India
New Delhi [India], July 15: In a world where wellness is no longer a luxury but a lifestyle, Vimal Wellness steps forward with a quiet but powerful promise: to nourish, to care, and to evolve with its consumers. Curated as a wellness essential rather than just a cooking choice, Vimal Wellness is a fresh expression of everyday nourishment; it is a re-imagination of how edible oils can power the everyday health journeys of millions.
A Legacy Reinvented
Since 1993, Vimal Healthy Oils has been a trusted presence in Indian kitchens--known for its quality, reliability, and everyday nourishment. As consumer awareness continues to grow, so do their expectations. With evolving lifestyles, diverse dietary needs, and a deeper interest in preventive health, the opportunity was clear: to offer more choices, not replacements. Vimal Wellness was born to complement this journey- introducing a new range of edible oils that cater to the evolving definitions of wellness, while staying true to the values Vimal Healthy Oils has always stood for.
Wellness, Pressed Cold and Served Pure
At the heart of Vimal Wellness is a meticulously crafted portfolio of cold-pressed and gourmet oils--designed not just for taste, but for transformative health benefits. Cold pressing extracts oil in its most natural state, helping retain the original nutrients, antioxidants, and aroma of the seed- without altering their structure through heat or processing. Each bottle in the Vimal Wellness portfolio is crafted with intention--designed not just for superior cooking, but for nourishing lives every single day.
The brand's portfolio features:
- Cold Pressed Oils: Mustard, Sesame, Groundnut, and Coconut Oil
- Gourmet Oils: Premium Sunflower Oils, Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Extra Virgin Avocado Oil
From cold-pressed staples to gourmet innovations, the Vimal Wellness range is built to adapt--not dictate. Each oil plays a unique role in supporting your lifestyle, your cooking style, and your evolving health priorities. And while no single oil can do it all, the right mix can. That's why Vimal Wellness embraces the belief that health isn't a one-size-fits-all approach- a reminder that health is not a fixed formula, but a fluid journey. By offering oils for different moments, moods, and meals, the brand empowers consumers to choose better--not just once, but every day.
Among the crown jewels of the Vimal Wellness range is the Extra Virgin Avocado Oil-- extracted from premium Spanish-origin Hass avocados, known for their rich texture and nutrient density. A product that combines global superfood status with everyday Indian usability, it is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and vitamin E. With a naturally high smoke point of around 250°C, it's ideal for everything from salad dressings and sauteing to high-heat Indian cooking and even skincare rituals.
In a market where avocados were once a luxury limited to niche shelves, Vimal Wellness is one of the first Indian brands to make Extra Virgin Avocado Oil accessible across the country. With robust distribution and a purposefully inclusive approach, Vimal Wellness is making this powerhouse ingredient a part of everyday Indian cooking--bridging the gap between conscious nutrition and daily convenience.
Designed for the New Indian Kitchen
The Vimal Wellness consumer is not defined by age or region--but by mindset. It is for the home cook in Ahmedabad choosing heart-smart oils, the fitness enthusiast in Bangalore meal prepping with avocado oil, the millennial in Mumbai scanning for cold-pressed authenticity, and the mother in Delhi reading every label before placing it in her cart.
To meet them where they are, Vimal Wellness is launching with a strong omnichannel presence, from quick commerce partnerships to a dedicated D2C platform. Accessible, exquisite and intuitive--the Vimal Wellness experience mirrors the purity and thoughtfulness of its products, offering a seamless blend of tradition, innovation, and everyday usability.
Crafted with Intention, Guided by Nature
While the industry moves at scale, Vimal Wellness focuses on quality through a process that values precision, purity, and care in every step. Sourced from organically grown seeds and extracted using traditional cold-pressed methods, each bottle carries the essence of soil, sunlight, and sincerity. Inspired by ancestral methods but guided by modern food science, the brand treats wellness with reverence--not trendiness.
Vimal Wellness is grounded in the belief that wellness should be a shared experience- not a privilege. With a focus on purity, purpose, and thoughtful creation, the brand brings a sense of quiet luxury to everyday life--seamlessly integrating into routines across both traditional households and modern lifestyles.
Wellness with a Wider Purpose
With this launch, Vimal Wellness joins a growing chorus of homegrown brands redefining everyday essentials. But what sets it apart is scale--with the manufacturing strength, retail presence, and brand equity of Vimal Healthy Oils behind it, the impact is bound to be deeper, faster, and far-reaching.
It's not just about entering a market--it's about leading a movement. One that invites India to question: What's in my oil? And more importantly: What's in it for my health?
You can now find the entire Vimal Wellness range at your nearest Nature's Basket store, or shop online via Amazon, Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, and the official website www.vimalmart.com.

The Role of Arm Swing in Walking: How to Use Your Arms for Better Momentum
Swinging your arms while walking isn't just a casual habit; it's a biomechanical advantage. This natural motion enhances walking efficiency, boosts momentum, and improves balance. Research indicates that arm swinging conserves energy, engages upper body muscles, and promotes better posture, transforming a simple walk into a more effective workout. Walking is one of the most effective and simple forms of physical activity. Though walking may look simple, the mechanics behind it are far more complex. While walking, people swing their arms. Ever wondered why we do this? Swinging your arms can significantly impact your walking efficiency, speed, and has other health benefits. Arm movement not only boosts momentum but also improves balance, posture, and overall energy efficiency. Let's understand how the power of arm swing can transform a daily stroll into a more effective exercise. Arm swing matters Most of us swing our arms when we walk or run. Most importantly, our arms and legs are in sync with each other. This is because the human body is designed to move in a coordinated manner. And the arm swing is there to counterbalance leg movement. When you step forward with your right leg, your left arm naturally swings forward to maintain balance and reduce rotational forces on the torso. This natural rhythm minimizes energy expenditure and stabilizes the body. A study published in 2014 in The Journal of Experimental Biology found that swinging arms save energy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover Why These Off-Plan Dubai Apartments Sell Fast? Binghatti Developers FZE Read More Undo When it comes to running, swinging arms counterbalance the momentum of a person's legs, providing stability to the runner. The study observed 13 participants and compared the energy cost of running in four different positions. They looked at the oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production while running. The researchers found that swinging your arms uses 3% less energy than keeping your hands behind your back, 9% less energy than folding your arms over your chest, and 13% less energy than running with your hands above your head. The study notes that the muscular power used while holding the arms in unusual positions may contribute to some of the extra energy cost. 'Overall, we believe that our comprehensive approach to testing our running arm swing hypothesis provides the most conclusive evidence to date that arm swing provides a metabolic benefit during human running,' the study author concluded. Indian Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla Grows Moong, Methi In Space Aboard Axiom-4 Mission How to use your arms for better momentum No doubt, swinging arms while walking and running can offer some benefits. But how do you do it the right way? Well, being mindful is important. Focus on the natural rhythm of your arms and legs. For best results, avoid carrying objects like phones or bags in your hands, which can disrupt the swing. Incorporating proper arm swing into your walking routine is a simple yet powerful way to improve efficiency, burn more calories, and also improve overall health. Next time you hit the pavement, let your arms lead the way. Along with boosting momentum, arm swing also engages the upper body. Consider it as a low-impact way to tone muscles in the arms, shoulders, and core. You can also burn more calories than your regular walk while swinging your arms. Think of it as a more effective full-body workout. Arm swing also improves posture, as it engages the core and keeps the torso upright, and can reduce strain on the lower back.

"Misleading": Health Ministry On Warning Labels For Samosas, Jalebis
New Delhi: The Union Health Ministry on Tuesday termed reports claiming it has directed vendors to put warning labels on food items such as samosas, jalebis and laddos as "misleading, incorrect, and baseless". It clarified that its advisory on health messaging about hidden fats and excess sugar in various food items is not a directive for vendors to put warning labels on their products, and underlined that it does not target India's rich street food culture. The general advisory is a behavioural nudge to make people aware of hidden fats and excess sugar in all food products, and not specifically to any particular food product, the ministry said in a statement. The advisory mentions other messages promoting healthy food such as fruits, vegetables and low-fat options and making suggestions for people to opt for physical activity, such as the use of stairs and short exercises. The ministry had separately issued an advisory, which is an initiative towards making healthier choices at workplaces. It advises displaying boards in workplaces to raise awareness on the harmful consumption of hidden fats and excess sugar in various food items. These boards are meant to serve as daily reminders on fighting obesity, the burden of which is sharply rising in the country, the statement said. "The health ministry advisory does not direct warning labels on food products sold by vendors, and has not been selective towards Indian snacks. It does not target India's rich street food culture," it clarified. The initiative is part of the ministry's flagship initiatives under the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases. Excessive consumption of oil and sugar is a key contributor to the rising rate of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other lifestyle-related diseases. The ministry has urged all ministries and departments to install displays of boards mentioning the sugar and oil content in snacks such as samosa, kachori, pizza, burger, french fries, soft drinks, gulab jamun and vadapav to promote healthy lifestyles and combat obesity and non-communicable diseases. It has also called for printing health messages on all official stationery such as letterheads, envelopes, notepads, folders and publications to reinforce daily reminders on fighting obesity. While the oil board mentioned snacks such as French fries, burgers, pizza, samosa, pakodas and vadapav, the sugar board included items such as soft drinks, gulab jamun and chocolate pastries.

Empowering India's youth by supporting their mental health
With over 380 million people between the ages 10 and 24, India has the world's largest youth population in the world. This is often referred to as India's 'demographic dividend', a window of opportunity for the country's economic growth and prosperity. However, a question follows this staggering number – are India's young truly healthy, both physically and mentally, to carry the weight of this opportunity? Rising levels of anxiety and depression, and suicide statistics are reflective of a silent emergency that is in contradiction to the positive perspective emerging from the numbers. It is believed that at least one person dies by suicide every hour in India. Unless steps are taken to better the situation, this increasing burden of mental illness will sabotage the prosperity that India is poised to enjoy with its young. Suicide: an epidemic Suicide is now among the top causes of death among Indian youth aged between 15 and 29 years. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) data, India's suicide rate in 2021 was 12.6 per 1,00,000, significantly higher than the global average of 9.2. In addition, the National Crime Records Bureau's (NCRB) 2022 report states that more than 13,000 students died by suicide in that year, with about 2,000 of these deaths linked to exam failure. These numbers are not merely isolated instances of individual suffering. They reflect a larger systemic issue that encompasses education, work, family life, and societal expectations. Additionally, increased instances of self-injury and suicidal thoughts among young adults and teenagers indicate that a majority of them are fighting long before they hit crisis point. Youth suicide in India is no longer an extremity, but a public health crisis. Without early intervention and ongoing support, the country's young people will go on battling mental health problems until it is too late for anyone to help them. What are the key drivers? The reasons behind Indian youth suicides are varied and multi-layered. In the majority of instances, suicide is not the end result of one event but rather an accumulation of a series of events over a period of time. The key drivers are: Academic pressure and fear of failure: India's education system continues to be deeply exam-focused, with massive pressure on students to perform extremely well. Institution-wide high-stakes testing, demanding academic streams, and low failure tolerance can lead to stress. The psychological cost of constant academic pressure leads to suicide. Between 2019 and 2023, 98 suicides were reported across India's top institutions including IITs, NITs, with a recent survey among IIT students revealing that 61% cite academic stress as the main trigger. Economic insecurity and unemployment: With youth unemployment rates high, many are not likely to get a job easily. The subsequent sense of frustration and despair can contribute to a decline in mental health. Societal and family pressures: Family expectations regarding career, marriage, and financial obligations are sources of stress. Conflict with others, or perceptions of failure to meet expectations, are in most cases, directly linked to suicidal activity. In addition, cultural stigma prevents open family discussion of emotional and mental health issues. Data from NCRB suggests that about 48% of all suicides among young adults are caused by distress from family problems, love affairs, and marriage-related issues. Mental health disorders and inadequate access to care: Underlying mental illness—depression, anxiety, or addiction—can often remain undiagnosed. Even as awareness spreads, professional mental health care remains out of reach for many, particularly in rural areas. Stigma and silence: A general stigma around mental illness continues to discourage seeking assistance. Young people tend to fear being labelled weak, unstable, or attention-seeking. Emotional suffering is thus internalised, and by the time it is verbalised, the condition is beyond prevention. According to a UNICEF survey on mental health across 21 countries, including India, only 41% of Indian youth feel it's acceptable to seek professional mental health support. What needs to change Youth suicide needs to be tackled by an integrated, multi-sectoral response that crosses healthcare, education, family systems, and public communication. Some steps that could help include: Destigmatise help-seeking — Despite increasing mental health struggles, many young people hesitate to seek help due to fear of judgement, family pressure, or lack of awareness. A narrative must be created to normalise mental health conversations, with the help of awareness campaigns both at schools, colleges and in communities. To seek help should no longer seem to be a weakness or a matter of shame. Strengthen crisis support systems — India has 24/7 mental health helplines including KIRAN (1800-599-0019) and Tele-MANAS (14416), We Care Mental Health Helpline operated by Bengaluru police and NIMHANS - 8277946600, NIMHANS toll free hotline 080-46110007, etc., offering free counselling in multiple languages. However, awareness among the youth remains low, and many don't know that these services exist. These crisis systems must be widely promoted in schools, colleges, and public platforms. Involve families and communities — It is important to make parents and caregivers aware of the need to have open conversations about mental health and break the stigma around it as they have a major influence on the youth. The loss of a young life is not merely a personal loss but also a national one. It is a loss of potential, of aspirations, and of a future that will never come. India's youth are meant to be the architects of the nation's progress, but they cannot perform this task if they are emotionally broken, unsupported, or muzzled. Suicide prevention is not just a health priority. It is a priority for the economy, and for society as whole. (Dr. Diwakar Goutham N, Senior Consultant, Clinical Lead - Psychiatry, Narayana Health City, Bangalore.
