  • The government chose an important day to kickstart this movement. Today is the National Sports Day, observed on the birthday of hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand.

    Remembering the iconic sportsperson, PM Modi said, "My wishes to you all on National Sports Day. It was on this day that India got a sports star like Major Dhyan Chand who left the world spell-bound."

  • Walking

    People used to walk earlier, now that has changed: PM

  • PM Modi, who himself is a fitness enthusiast, stressed on a healthy lifestyle.

    Hinting that technology made people lazier, he said, "Till a few decades ago, a normal person used to walk 8-10 kilometers in a day. Then gradually technology changed, modern means came and people reduced their walking habit."

    But he added the same technology does tell you how much you have walked.

  • Quote

    "Even young people are getting heart attacks these days"

  • "Today, many lifestyle diseases like diabetes, hypertension are increasing. You will find many people suffering from them. Earlier we used to hear that risk of heart attack increases after the age of 50-60, now the youth of 35-40 years are getting heart attacks," he said.

  • Further, he said that a couple of lifestyle changes can help one put diseases at bay.

    In an attempt to "inspire" people, he also added that success and fitness are interlinked.

    "Take any field today, look at your icons, see their success stories, whether they are in sports, films, business, most of them are fit. This is not just a coincidence," he underlined.

    "I can say from my personal experiences that there is zero investment in it, but the returns are unlimited," he went on.
