In a tragic news, Bigg Boss 13 winner and Bollywood actor Sidharth Shukla died of a heart attack, at Mumbai's Cooper Hospital on Thursday. He was 40. According to the sources, Sidharth took some medicines before sleeping and didn't wake up. Shukla was best known for his role in the long-running TV show 'Balika Vadhu'. The actor is survived by his mother and two sisters. Confirming the news to the media, the doctors at the Cooper Hospital said, "He was brought dead to the hospital." Heart diseases including cardiac arrest and heart attacks post 35 are very common these days, and the reason behind this is unhealthy lifestyle, sleeping disorder, and certain habits such as smoking, drinking, etc. All these together can trigger heart diseases in men. However, going for regular heart checkups can help someone above 35 to keep the heart-healthy.

  3. Improve overall health
  4. Reduce the chances of dying from these heart diseases
