Health Sevā
The temple has always been where the community's health happens — camps, langar-day check-ups, blood drives. This page brings it together: upcoming camps, plain-language health education, and help reading the reports. Education and sevā — never diagnosis.

The five numbers to know by heart
What camp volunteers measure, and what the values broadly mean — so a check-up becomes knowledge, not just a slip of paper.
Blood pressure
- • Around 120/80 is the classic healthy mark; consistently 140/90+ deserves a doctor's visit.
- • One high reading at a camp is NOT a diagnosis — it's a reason to re-check calmly at rest.
Blood sugar & HbA1c
- • Fasting under ~100 mg/dL is typical; 126+ on two occasions is the diabetes threshold doctors use.
- • HbA1c is the 3-month average — under 5.7% typical, 6.5%+ diabetic range. One prick, three months of truth.
Cholesterol (lipids)
- • LDL is the one to watch (lower is better; <100 mg/dL is the common target); HDL higher is better.
- • South Asians hit heart risk at LOWER weights and younger ages — our camps exist for a reason.
Waist & weight
- • Waist size predicts more than weight: risk rises above ~90 cm (men) / ~80 cm (women) for South Asians.
The deeper picture
- • A standard 9-marker blood panel can estimate 'biological age' — how the body is actually ageing vs the calendar. (Our bio-age tool is coming to this page.)

Disclaimer: Everything here is health EDUCATION, simplified for first understanding — not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and no doctor-patient relationship arises from it. Camp readings are screenings, not diagnoses. Always consult a qualified doctor about your own health. Emergencies: call 112 / ambulance 108.
