Amritsar, September 24. A 'Walk for Young Heart' was organised here yesterday by the Escorts Heart and Super Speciality Institute to mark World Heart Day which is being observed in over 100 countries.
Led by actress Mandira Bedi, along with Mayor Sunil Datti and Chairman, Improvement Trust Jugal Kishore, students of 15 schools and colleges and doctors participated in the walk. The doctors took the initiative to help people understand the importance of keeping one's heart young.
The students in white caps held banners, speaking out slogans. "How young is your heart?" "Stop smoking, keep your heart beating", "Healthy heart, healthy start", "Prevent obesity, live longer" as they walked with the city's top heart and other specialists. Decrying smoking, the walk spread the message that quitting smoking could reduce the risk of heart disease by 25 to 30 percent.
A free heart check up was also organised on the occasion and 250 persons availed the service. An inter-school quiz competition was organised to highlight the role of healthy diet and exercise. Holy Heart Presidency and DAV Public School were adjudged the winners and runners-up, respectively.
