MUMBAI: On World Heart Day, Saffolalife urged several couples along with Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Raj Kundra to participate in a morning walk together. This first-of-its-kind event was to create awareness of women’s heart health in India. A study has shown that two out of four Indian women are at risk of heart problems due to increasing weight. The morning walk on Carter Road set the tone for a new movement as the couples then pledged to walk together daily for 30 minutes as a simple yet valuable step to #ProtectHerHeart.

The organisers also devised a unique weight-heart test, that helps assess the impact of fitness levels on your heart health. Accessible on www.saffolalife.com, the test helps understand the impact of your weight on your heart.

Shilpa Shetty Kundra said, “As women, we tend to overlook our health while caring for our families. I was surprised to learn that two out of four Indian women are at risk of heart problems due to increasing weight. We are concerned about putting on weight, but don’t realise how it’s taking a toll on our hearts. This World Heart Day, I am grateful that Saffolalife is encouraging all of us to start going for a daily 30-minute walk as a beginning towards protecting our hearts.”

Best Deal TV CEO and co-founder Raj Kundra added, “It’s the small things that make a difference. If we make time to walk together daily for 30 minutes, it’ll go a long way in protecting our hearts. Moreover, it’s a great way to get some much-needed we-time into our busy lives! Just like Shilpa and I, we hope you also take the pledge to walk together and care for your heart health.”
