By Jitendra Jangid- Friends, as we have seen in recent years that people are dying of heart attack while playing, doing gym, driving a car, eating food, these deaths include not only the elderly but also the young. The alarming increase in heart diseases has been a matter of concern worldwide. If this trend continues, we may see even more people dying from heart diseases, making it important to understand why this is happening and what can be done to prevent it, let's know the reason-

Why are heart attacks increasing?

There are many known risk factors for heart diseases, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, lack of physical activity, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.

The matter of concern today is that people who follow a healthy diet and fitness regimen are also experiencing heart attacks. This unexpected development has raised questions about the underlying causes of heart disease in today's population.

Heart disease has now become one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with more cases being reported in low- and middle-income countries.

Growing threat in India

In India, heart disease has emerged as a silent killer. Although it has traditionally affected the elderly, its growing prevalence in the younger population is worrisome. The rise in lifestyle risk factors and the stress of modern life are contributing to this alarming trend.

What can you do to protect yourself?

We cannot control when or how we may be affected by disease, but we do have the power to reduce the risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.

Maintain a healthy diet: Avoid oily, excessively salty and sweet foods. Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

Exercise regularly: Dedicate at least one hour every day to physical activity to keep your heart strong and your body fit.

Avoid harmful habits: Stay away from smoking and limit alcohol consumption.

Get regular checkups: Regular health checkups can help detect early signs of heart disease and other health problems.
