While addressing the audience, Dr Naresh Trehan,Chairman, Medanta the Medicity said: “Around six crore people in India already have heart related diseases and another six crore are in line. The current modern medical systems treat patients using methods like antibiotics, chemotherapy, surgeries, radiation, etc. but even after successful surgeries, the patients’ body is left in great trauma.”

He said: “The fusion of both- modern and ancient medicine- helps strengthen your body and fight diseases. This new-era medicine will emerge from India and will also benefit the people who are unable to access quality healthcare services.”

Stressing on the importance of Yoga and Ayurveda, Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev said, “Less physical activity, stress, unhealthy eating habits, smoking & drinking, undisciplined lifestyle, etc leads to mainly heart diseases, obesity, high cholesterol, hypertension, and high Blood Pressure”. He suggested, “Denying daily exercises lead to many diseases; correcting lifestyle and adopting simple exercises in your daily routine will build immunity. These practices can cure almost 99 per cent of diseases”.
