The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) recently conducted a study that found 46% of Mumbai city residents are overweight. The study also revealed that Mumbaikars consume almost double the daily recommended amount of salt, and shockingly, 9 out of 10 city residents don't eat fruits, while two-thirds of them don't exercise. The survey further found that every third person living in Mumbai suffers from hypertension, and every fifth person has diabetes. Additionally, one in five residents of Mumbai city has increased cholesterol levels, which is a risk factor for heart diseases. Despite undergoing treatment, people suffering from hypertension and diabetes have uncontrolled conditions. The survey also highlighted the gender distribution, with more women than men being obese in the city.
Dr. Aashis Contractor, a specialist in preventive cardiology and rehabilitation at HN Reliance Hospital, emphasizes that a lack of adequate physical activity is a low-hanging fruit that people can easily rectify. Moving more, even in simple ways that don't require vigorous or structured exercise, can improve heart health and overall health. Each step taken is a step towards better health.
