Heart health

There are no short cuts to a healthy heart. You have to eat right, stay fit and monitor your heart regularly. But, with lifestyle changes, unhealthy eating habits, keeping your heart healthy seems a tad bit difficult as these habits are the main trigger of heart disease. According to recent statistics, over 70% urban Indian population is likely to suffer from heart disease. It is widely believed that only men are at more risk of heart diseases but many studies prove otherwise. According to a report, heart disease kills one in every three woman.

Lack of awareness about heart diseases is one of the major problems that delays diagnosis and treatment of heart disease.  Many people are unaware about the fact that heart disease is not a single disorder or a condition and refers to a group of diseases or problems in the heart where the heart or the blood vessels  that supply blood to the heart are damaged and do not function properly.

Hence, a stress free life and a healthy heart go hand in hand and if you are really stressed, you need to take steps to prevent  stress from taking a toll on your heart.
