Further 47% population was consuming green leafy vegetables daily but 50% of the population was not consuming fruits at all. 60% population was using ground nut oil as the major cooking medium and one reason for this is the higher production of ground nut in the region.

Only a small population was having the diseases like blood pressure (7%), asthma (7%), heart problem (3%) whereas 77% of the population was not having any chronic disease and a reason to this is the work profile of the population majority was involved in the work having lot of physical activities. 73% of the population was not aware with the fast food.
