Protect your heart; say `goodbye’ to sedentary lifestyle
Over the past few decades, the incidence of heart disease has increased tremendously and it seems to have surpassed all the boundaries of uncontrollable risk factors that earlier were associated with increased risk of heart disease.
Today, controllable risk factors like diet, physical inactivity and stress largely determine the risk of heart disease which kills 17 million people every year around the world. Earlier it was believed that the heart diseases occur in older people. But now- a-days heart diseases are quiet common in young people because of sedentary life style and poor eating habits.
In order to increase awareness among people towards heart related diseases throughout the world, every year World Heart Day is celebrated on September 29. On this day, let us we all pledge to lead a healthy life-style, engaged ourselves in physical activities, lead a stress-free life and consume less than 5 gm of salt a day to keep ourselves free from heart related ailments.
