In an endeavour to spread awareness about prevention of heart disease and to emphasize the importance of a healthy lifestyle, The Hans India in support with the HMTV organized "Hans Half Marathon" - a mini marathon today. 1000 people participated in the mini marathon supported by the Billion Hearts Beating Campaign.
Marathon was supported by Etala Rajendar, Health Minister, Sri Talasani Srinivas Yadav, Animal Husbandary and Cinematography Minister, Sri Arivind Kumar,I.A.S, Principal Secretary in Govt, Shri G. Sudheer Babu IPS. Nataraj Master, Choreographer. who feel that there is a huge need for such events to generate awareness among the masses. There were many doctors and entrepreneurs who ran for the Hans half marathon.
Heart disease is the biggest killer in urban India today. It is estimated that 60% of the world's heart disease will belong to India (and Indians) in the near future. Indians are genetically prone to heart disease. Our sedentary and stressed modern lifestyle just multiplies the risk. In fact, an Indian is four times as likely to suffer from heart disease as compared to his Western counterpart. A heart attack also brings a lot of emotional turmoil for the family; it doesn't only affect the one who gets a heart attack.
This marathon isn't only about running - it intends to bring people together and motivate the community to take necessary possible steps towards a healthy heart. While we would encourage everyone to run, we also believe that its necessary to create awareness among people about the risk of heart disease if they do not adopt healthier lifestyles.
