  conscious people is rising with each passing day.

  conscious people, there are some people who are
  not very serious about their health and have

  per the National Centre for Health Statistics,
  the USA has approximately 26 people out of 100
  without any regular health source. The data for
  such people is higher in developing countries
  like India.
