Recently, India has witnessed an upsurge of heart attacks among young adults and people in their 30s and 40s. Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) states that India accounts for one-fifth of CVD deaths worldwide. The Farmley Snack Run, therefore, aims to spread awareness on the need to pay attention to heart health by maintaining an active lifestyle that involves physical exercise and consuming a balanced diet.
Commenting on the initiative, Akash Sharma, Co-founder of Farmley, said, “At Farmley, our core mission is to make healthy living a reality for everyone. We envisioned the Snack-Run for World Heart Day as a crucial step in this direction. It not only celebrates but actively promotes a heart-healthy lifestyle from an early age, to pave the path for a healthy future.”
The event was flagged off by Mr. Abhishek Agarwal and Mr. Akash Sharma, Co-founders, Farmley and saw over 1,400 participants across the three categories of 10km run, 5km run and 5km walk.
