On ‘World Cycling Day’ being observed today, doctors in DMCH and Hero DMC Heart Institute laid stress that regular CYCLING helps in achieving health benefits, which is very much relevant these days due to COVID crisis.

Dr Bishav Mohan, Medical Supdt. HDHI  says that Cycling can help to protect you from serious diseases such as stroke, heart attack, some cancers, depression, diabetes, obesity and arthritis. Riding a bike is healthy, fun and a low-impact form of exercise for all ages. Cycling is easy to fit into your daily routine by riding to the shops, park, school or work.

Dr Ashish Ahuja (Professor of Surgery & Bariatric Surgeon at DMCH) says that ‘CYCLING’ is very beneficial for improving overall health and building good immunity, which is very much essential to fight attack of COVID-19 infection. Dr Ashish Ahuja is a regular cycling peddler and has also participated in several cycling tournaments. His morning routine daily begins with 20 kms of cycling. But as the conditions are not appropriate these days for cycling outdoor in group, so he prefers to peddle cycle alone and that too during relaxation hours.

In their messages, Dr Bishav Mohan and Dr Ashish  Ahuja says that ever since COVID pandemic has struck the nation, there are many people especially youngsters who have taken CYCLING as their hobby and passion to keep themselves fit and healthy.

The physical activity of doing regular ‘Cycling’ contributes to many health benefits including increasing of blood circulation level, optimal pumping of heart, burning out calories and making the legs and thighs stronger. This activity of CYCLING is also very much beneficial for people suffering from diabetes and other co morbidities.

So, keep yourself paddling to remain fit and healthy, advises Dr Bishav Mohan and Dr Ashish Ahuja.
