70% of urban Indians are at risk of heart diseases. In recent times, there has been a rapid increase in the number of young people who are at risk of heart disease. Typically, males are at a higher risk.
The major risk factors are:
- Family history of heart disease
- Smoking
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Obesity
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Increased stress and anger
Certain lifestyle changes can help in reducing these risks. The following changes have been found to be helpful in reducing the risk of heart problems:
- Exercise regularly
- Avoid smoking
- Reduce stress by practicing yoga and meditation
- Make sure you get 6-7 hours of sound sleep
- Manage your diabetes better:
- If you have a family history of diabetes, get regular checkups, eat a healthy diet and take your medicines on time
- Keep your Blood Pressure in check:
- Maintain a low salt intake and monitor your weight closely
- Keep your cholesterol levels low
- Say no to saturated fats. Found primarily in red meat and dairy products, they raise total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the “bad” cholesterol.
- Choose leaner cuts of meat, low-fat dairy and monounsaturated fats (like olive and canola oils).
- Eliminate trans fats. Trans fats can be found in fried foods and many commercial products, such as cookies, crackers and snacks.
- Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These include fish, walnuts, almonds and ground flaxseeds.
- Increase soluble fiber in your diet to help lower your LDL levels. Options include oats and oat bran, fruits, beans, lentils, and vegetables.
