The “No More Tension” app educates users about stress, tells you what are the different reasons and indicators for stress and also lets you measure your stress levels on its “Stress Meter”.

It also suggests ways to get rid of stress through yoga, meditation and walking. There are 11 different yoga mudras one can learn through this application.

The application is available for download on Google Play store and will be available on Windows shortly.

The Health Minister also emphasised on the need to “Catch them Young” and target the youth in order to effect behaviour change among them and keep them away from habits that cause non-communicable diseases.
