Regular physical activity strengthens heart muscle while abstaining from smoking and binge drinking, controlling stress through relaxation methods, and monitoring long-term illnesses are crucial.
To prevent heart failure and maintain cardiac health, adopt a balanced diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and sodium.
It is important to change your lifestyle in order to avoid heart failure and maintain cardiac health. It is reducing the risk of heart failure by having a balanced diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats, and low in saturated fats, cholesterol, and sodium. This will also help control blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and weight. Walking, swimming, or cycling are examples of regular physical activity that strengthens the heart muscle and enhances general cardiovascular health.
Another important factor in preventing heart failure is abstaining from smoking and binge drinking. Also promoting heart health is controlling levels of stress through relaxation methods like yoga or meditation. It’s also critical to maintain vigilance in the monitoring and treatment of long-term illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure.
Dr Jagjeet Deshmukh, who is a cardiologist in Sahyadri Super Speciality Hospital in Hadapsar, Pune, exclusively told Jagran English about the lifestyle changes for preventing heart failure.
According to Dr. Jagjeet, “heart failure, coronary artery disease, and hypertension are among the cardiovascular illnesses that the World Health Organization lists as the world’s top causes of death; our country plays a major role in these figures. It is concerning that recent survey data indicates a 34% rise in heart-related fatalities in our nation in only one year. The fact that younger people—who were previously thought to be at lesser risk for heart failures—are now suffering from early heart attacks is especially upsetting. Lifestyle variables including tobacco use, smoking, a family history of heart disease, and the incidence of diabetes can be blamed for this tendency.”
The increasing proportion of younger people with cardiac problems highlights the influence of our way of life. High levels of stress, especially in young people, combined with sedentary lifestyles are causing a rise in alcohol and tobacco use, which both worsen coronary artery disease by oxidizing cholesterol and causing inflammation.
In addition, he said, “Furthermore, diabetes, which is frequently brought on by lifestyle decisions, raises the risk even more due to its link to arterial inflammation and hypertension. As medical professionals, we cannot emphasize enough how critical it is to address these modifiable risk factors by making lifestyle modifications.”
In order to address the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular illnesses, we support a multifaceted strategy that incorporates substantial lifestyle changes. The first stages in promoting heart health include incorporating regular physical activity into our daily routines, such as walking, running, or cycling, and eating a diet high in raw fruits and vegetables.At last, Dr. Jagjeet said, “Also, it is advised to have routine dietary counseling, preventative treatment, and thorough health tests in order to detect and reduce hazards at an early stage. Accepting these adjustments is about more than just your own health; it’s about ensuring a better future for our community as a whole.”At last, Dr. Jagjeet said, “Also, it is advised to have routine dietary counseling, preventative treatment, and thorough health tests in order to detect and reduce hazards at an early stage.
