MUMBAI: Saffola, a health-centric heart-care brand, has announced the Step-Up For Your Heart campaign to inspire individuals to check their heart health this World Heart Day. Building on the brand’s #RozKaHealthyStep message, this campaign continues to drive awareness about the impact of unhealthy lifestyles on our hearts, encouraging consumers to adopt simple, heart-focussed steps every day for a healthier lifestyle. The Saffola ‘Step Up For Your Heart’ Challenge will be live for a month.
This year, Saffola urges its consumers to take their heart health more seriously by participating in the Saffola ‘Step Up For Your Heart’ Initiative. It noted that it has been proven that daily climbing of stairs may reduce the risk of heart disease by 20%. The European Society of Cardiology states that climbing four flights of stairs in under a minute is an indicator of good heart health; this serves as the inspiration of the challenge. The Initiative offers a crucial opportunity for participants to take the stairs as the first step towards a healthier heart lifestyle.
Consumers can kickstart their journey to a healthier heart, by visiting www.saffolastepup.marico.inor by scanning the available QR code. This will connect them to a video message from renowned actor, Ronit Roy, who will guide and motivate them through the campaign task. The Step-Up task puts heart health to the test by encouraging participants to climb stairs in real time, for a small duration, while having an engaging light-hearted AI-conversation with Ronit Roy. Upon completion, each participant will learn how they performed against their competing counterparts, basis the number of steps taken and their level of huffing and puffing.
