Few thoughts to share here:
A healthy heart today ensures a stronger tomorrow. Let us take good care of our hearts- they are the rhythm of our lives:
- We have been hearing a lot of late about a lot of young people suddenly dying due to sudden cardiac arrest. They might have been having an underlying heart condition.
- It is a pre requisite to have a healthy lifestyle . Eat well and have a good exercise plan atleast 5 days a week.
- Once you cross 40 yrs, it is advisable to get periodic heart check ups in the form of ECG , TMT , 2D Echo, Lipid Profile etc. As the age advances , the risk for heart attacks is increased.
- Periodic health checks maybe a tool to prevent such catastrophe if identified earlier itself.
The take home message is:
- Eat healthy food.
- Exercise regularly – atleast 5 days a week.
- Avoid stress- stress management is very essential in today’s competitive environment.
- Have a good sleep- atleast 6-7 hrs daily.
- Avoid smoking.
- Minimalise alcohol intake.
- Let us pledge today to take care of our hearts from today so that we can have a better tomorrow.
