In India, we all are foodies and love tasty spicy food with ghee ka tadka and mitha after the meal. But we really don't think of long-term effects of developing Diabetes, Hypertension, and Heart Failure, not only due to our eating habits, but also with our sedentary lifestyle and no exercising choice.
India is the diabetic capital of the world and ranks third in the global obesity index. More than 20% of the population is diagnosed with heart failure in India, and patients are ten years younger than the global average. The lack of awareness about the disease is a matter of great concern. There is an urgent need to educate people about heart failure and its management.
To create awareness and spread knowledge about Heart Failure, The Times of India started the initiative Beat Heart Failure in partnership with Novartis to impart not only information to develop a better understanding but also effective management. The leading doctors from Global Hospitals, Mumbai, joined the discussion.
But when there is a heart attack, blood flow to the heart suddenly becomes blocked. Without the blood coming in, the heart can't get oxygen. If not treated quickly, the heart muscle begins to die. But if you do get quick treatment, you may be able to prevent or limit damage to the heart muscle.
Unhealthy Meals & Stroke
Choosing nutritious food is important as it can reduce the chances of stroke by 80%. A balanced diet with the right proportion of fiber, calories, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and alternative nutrients reduces the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases in high-risk patients. Limiting the intake of sodium, salt, saturated fat, and sugar helps regulate blood pressure levels, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar levels. Patients at risk of stroke should restrict eating meat and avoid egg yolk.
Lazy Life & Stroke
Being physically inactive and spending leisure time doing sedentary activities has become common in the younger generation. A lazy lifestyle increases body fat; reduces muscles strength; affects bone density; metabolism, and deprives the overall immune system of the body. Therefore, an inactive lifestyle increases the risks of health issues.
If you have been lazy, start slow with activities like walking (30-60 min) or mild exercises according to your age and health conditions.
Smoking, Tobacco & Stroke
Smoking and tobacco substances are harmful and are likely to increase the chances of death and risk of stroke. Tobacco contains 7000 toxic chemicals impacting the lungs, damaging body cells, and increasing the threat of stroke.
Smoke from cigarettes alters cholesterol levels which cause heart disease & stroke. You might not smoke, but passive smoking (inhaling else's' smoke) is also hazardous.
