India Health Link Presents 13th Edition Of Champions Run In New Delhi Ahead of World Heart Day 2022
Speaking on organising the Champions Run, and its benefits stay heart healthy, Dr Sunita Godara, Asian Marathon Champion & Event Director of Champions Run 4 Healthy Heart, said, “The ‘Champions Run 4 Healthy Heart’ aims to spread awareness about cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), their prevention and their global impact on the occasion of World Heart Day, which is symbolic of heart health, and a gentle reminder to everyone to look into one’s heart health. This year we have segregated the Champions Run into two parts – 5 Km run and 1 Km of Walk4Health (Peace March). The ‘Peace March will be led by Mr Vijay Goel, Former Union Minister, Vice-Chairman, Gandhi Smriti & Darshan Samiti (GSDS).”
At the Champions Run – a free screening camp will also be organised, where one can get one’s 20+ metabolic vitals including BMI, SpO2, BP, ECG, MBC, Body & Visceral Fat etc., screened on Health Pod (‘hPod’) developed by India Health Link (IHL) within 5 minutes. This is a first-of-its-kind non-invasive, self-screening, wherein an instant digital report is released that reveals the primary sign of one’s heart health whether it’s healthy or not.
“Being physically active is a major step toward good heart health. And regular moderate running gives added advantages to it because this is one of the preventive steps to stay heart healthy as ‘Prevention is always better than cure.’ There is a lack of awareness amongst the Indian people about heart health and what are the easy and practical ways to stay healthy, and how moderate running and preventive screening help us stay heart healthy. To spread awareness amongst the masses that running and regular preventive screening plays a pivotal role in staying heart healthy, we are going to organise Champions Run 4 Healthy Heart,” said Dr Satyender Goel, Founder & CEO, India Health Link (IHL).
Throwing light on the essence of organising the Champions Run 4 Healthy Heart, Dr Swadeep Srivastava, Founder & Chairman, HEAL Foundation said, “Amidst the rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the most important thing, which is missing that can help prevent the incidence – is the lack of awareness. Of many factors that contribute to staying heart-healthy, running is the promising one. To spread awareness about the heart benefits of running, the Champions Run 4 Healthy Heart is being organised.”
