Hi guys, Hope you all are doing good. I am doing well too. It has become so important nowadays to take care of our health especially the heart and the brain. In today's fast paced life, many times we pay less attention to our health, what diet we are having, proper sleep, maintaining healthy habits etc. We need to protect our "delicate hearts". The World Heart Federation along with the World Health Organisation celebrates this day since 1999 in order to raise awareness about Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) and to promote healthy diet and lifestyle. People nowadays are getting heart attacks as early as in their 40's. These could be due to many causes like unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes etc. It is estimated that approx 17 million people across the world suffers from CVD rather than cancer and malaria. This year's theme is to quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption thereby having healthy diet and lifestyle. People nowadays eat lot of junk with lack of exercise in their lives or sometimes they over do it. Stress is there in today's life and people do smoking, alcohol consumption because of which it affects our hearts. It's so important to get our cholesterol and blood pressure checked frequently. A good healthy diet including leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts, olive oil, oats etc can help to maintain healthy heart along with some sort of exercise. Every year, 70 countries observe this day and organise different workshops, fitness camps, marathons, walkathons etc for promoting fitness among people. The medical fraternity organises Free Checkup Camps, gives information about CVD through online meetings, Ted Talks, online Videos etc. Let's keep in mind to take good care of our heart by eating healthy diet and leading a healthy lifestyle for ourselves and our dear ones. Let me know your thoughts on it. Have a good day!! Take care!!
