Article: Is Your Child’s School Bag Too Heavy? - A Hidden Health Concern How heavy is too heavy for a child to carry every single day? And what happens when that burden becomes part of their body, their posture, their exhaustion, and even their health?

In this powerful episode of Balmurti Online, Dr. I. K. Vijliwala explores a disturbing reality many parents and schools ignore: the physical weight of school bags may be doing far more damage than we think. Drawing on real incidents, medical concerns, and research on heart rate, blood pressure, posture, and repeated strain, this episode asks us to rethink what children are being forced to carry in the name of education.

This is not only about books. It is about pressure. It is about a childhood becoming physically and emotionally overloaded. And it is a reminder that learning should strengthen a child, not slowly wear them down.

A must-listen for parents, teachers, and school leaders who want children to learn without sacrificing their health.
