at first i was like ehhh wat do we need it for, but i think its a good idea.
the “health, fashion, and beauty” forum is full of questions/comments about designers, makeup, all that other stuff
so it really leaves no room for “health” it seems like its like a “fashion and beauty” forum alone
however, it will take this forum A LOT longer to grow, becuz taking the example of rks: ppl cud hv competitions, there is a lot more to discuss, ppl cant post their art at any time.
also we dont know wat can actually go on in a health forum until we hv one just like rks.
omg we can post like health related articles weekly and wat not:hmmm: and thers so much moree!
A Health Forum, like someone said, would include prevention of common diseases, known and tested remedies, diet and nutrition, kids health, vitamins and supplementation, new research and studies, herbal health, naturopathy, etc.
Then there would be exercise and fitness.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, this would be so coooooooooooooool.
it most certainly would be...there is so much to talk about.
thanks for all the ideas for topics. I am sure there are many more topics that can be discussed in addition to this as well.
like ehsan bhai said...if enough people show interest then they may look into such a forum.
I think Health, Nutrition and Fitness is not just a big industry today but also, more and more people are getting aware and conscious of feeling and looking good in terms of their health. Many people are always looking for personal experiences in areas of heart and immune health, diabetes, joint and behavioral health issues. A forum may be just the answer and since we do have people who are well versed in some of these topics, this may actually be a great success.

I love the idea of a health and fitness forum. As a guy who loves to workout and eat as healthy as possible a forum where I can discuss and learn new things about fitness is always helpful.
I think such a forum would do quite well given that most people are very conscious about their health these days and would love to learn and discuss even more.
Good job with taking the initiative on the forum Angel Eyes, I'd reply to your PM but I don't have 25 posts or something.
On a serious note, I think this new forum idea will benefit the members as well as the administration, here is why and this maybe the deciding factor: :D
Health field pays good amount of money to advertise on google's adword network. I've seen that their PPC is much higher than many other fields. Potentially, it could mean higher CTR as well as PPC for revenue that gupshup earns from the google ads...
Also, lets not forget the search engine traffic which will be headed gupshup's way because of the threads and topics that people will post. This way gupshup will experience targetted traffic along with relevant ads (compared to desi ads which pay cents per click). It is a win win situation for both members as well as the administration.

U must be a Marketing Expert...................:biggthumb
We could even have moms discussing how to feed fussy eaters, health issues in kids, how to raise healthy kids...
Then we could even have discussions on how some old wives tales have been proven wrong and how modern science has actually accepted and recommended some of the old practices.
i was also thinking along the lines (after reading this post) of prenatal nutrition, health and fitness and postnatal…oh and of course while pregnant as well for all the moms and moms to be that we have here on GS.
so many things to discuss.
i dont even know why health is included with fashion and beauty in the first place. People that are interested in health and fitness wouldnt even think about going there to find related posts.
therapies and special needs …YES! but probably not healthcare and medicare …i would think that would be best suited for general…guess that would be up to the admins/mods to decide.
Angel Eyes, I had that idea too, even discussed with my hubby, but never started a thread on it.** I guess you have the patent**! Go girl!
aww it's ok I dont need a patent...doesnt matter who came up with it because when and IF they start this forum....it'll be a joint effort to make the forum successful. :)
just like rks.
