MUMBAI : Vikas Sethi, Siddharth Shukla and many other celebrities have unfortunately lost their lives due to cardiac arrest, despite being relatively young. Actor Viraj Babbar says that it's heartbreaking to see how many people are dying. He adds that managing our stress levels is primary at this point. “It's very sad to hear about people leaving this world. And that too at such a young age, it's heartbreaking. It's scary, too, to think of such incidents. I mean if it's happening to such fit individuals at such a young age, it can happen to anyone then. But one needs to manage their stress levels. That should be the top priority,” he says. He says that keeping your heart healthy is also very important. “We go to the gym to keep our body healthy, not to put stress on our bodies. This is why I tell people that it's important to keep their heart healthy as well. What do we do for it? We do some cardiovascular exercises, such as going for runs or jump ropes or cycling or other activities which can help elevate your heart rate. People these days go to the gym, lift weights and that is it, no one plays any kind of sports or goes for a run. It's all important for your heart health,” he says. The actor concludes that people who are part of industries that have irregular working hours must be very careful as well. “Especially in our industry where the timings and schedules are all hay-wired and people are just running from one shoot to the other. It's not difficult to live a healthy life. Lift 3-5 times a week, play a sport or go for a run 2 times a week and eat healthy. As grown ups we need to take care of ourselves so that we can take care of others,” he says.
