These days, cases of heart-related diseases are increasing rapidly in the country. For some time now, there has been an alarming increase in the cases of cardiovascular disease (CDV) among the youth in India. It is the leading cause of death in India, accounting for 26.6% of all deaths, but worryingly the incidence is increasing among the youth.
In fact, according to a study conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), there has been a 300% increase in CVD cases in people aged 30-44 years in the last two decades. This is why it has become a matter of concern. Due to CVD, a person can have a heart attack, stroke, and even premature death. In such a situation, today in this article we will talk about some lifestyle-related habits, that increase the risk of heart-related diseases.
Wrong eating habits
These days, many people are victims of wrong eating habits, due to which they have to face many health-related problems. At present, many people have started using fast food and high-sugar food items, due to which nutrients are deficient in the body. In such a situation, these wrong eating habits contribute to increasing CVD. To avoid this, one should follow a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Sedentary lifestyle
For some time now, people's lifestyle has started changing rapidly. Due to increasing work pressure and busy schedules, people are often not able to remain physically active. In an increasingly sedentary life, people spend most of their time in front of the screen, due to which they are not able to do any exercise or workout, which increases the risk of CVD to a great extent.
Heredity
Many health problems make a person its victim due to genetic predisposition. CVD is also one of these. Family history plays a very important role in determining its risk. In such a situation, accurate information about your family history and doctor's advice is important to identify and reduce its risk.
Tension
The effect of a rapidly changing lifestyle is seen not only in our physical but also in our mental health. Presently many people are becoming victims of various mental problems. Stress is one of these, from which most of the youth are suffering nowadays. Stress not only impacts your mental health, but it also plays a role in the development of CVD. In such a situation, it is important to take special care of stress management to keep the heart healthy.
