The theme for the World Heart Day this year is ‘Use heart, know heart’. Speaking on the occasion, Rahul Chaba stressed upon the need for managing stress in one’s daily life. He urged residents to care for their heart while paying attention to work management, stress load, healthy diet and regular exercise.

Addressing the participants, Dr Ravi Kumar said, “What you eat, feel and do, everything affects your heart. Understanding and implementing the importance of right diet and exercise from childhood is very essential. Habits are not built in a day. They need to be inculcated right from the beginning.”
