With a deskbound lifestyle , lack of exercise and fast food being a regular amongst most, risks of premature heart diseases are high. There are many types of heart ailments. The most common ones are: Angina – chest pain from paucity of blood flow.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) – a result of cholesterol deposits, the heart is unable to receive adequate blood, oxygen, and nutrients from coronary arteries. Arrhythmia - a complication with the frequency or pace of your heartbeat. Lifestyle Choices and Heart Disease Unhealthy habits like a poor diet, inertia, smoking, and consumption of alcohol are responsible for increasing the risk of heart disease.

“Diets rich in trans fats, cholesterol, and sodium promote plaque buildup in the arteries, significantly heightening the chances of heart attacks. A sedentary lifestyle closely linked to obesity, hypertension, and diabetes further elevate the risk of cardiovascular disease,” warns Dr Ranga Reddy BVA, Consultant Cardiologist, Apollo Hospitals Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. Chronic stress compounds these risks by raising both heart rate and blood pressure.

Embrace a stress-free, wholesome lifestyle with a balanced diet, and committed fitness routines to keep cardiac problems at bay.
