Heart disease remains the leading cause of death globally, but experts emphasize that many cases can be prevented through early awareness and lifestyle modifications. A recent Medithon organized by The Times of India (TOI) highlighted the critical role of exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
The increasing prevalence of heart disease among young individuals and women has sparked significant concern. Experts at the event stressed the importance of regular health monitoring and proactive heart care for these at-risk groups.
During the Medithon, specialists discussed the common risk factors for heart disease, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, poor dietary habits, and physical inactivity. Additionally, stress and sedentary lifestyles were identified as major contributors to cardiovascular conditions.
The event aimed to raise awareness about the symptoms of heart disease, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and irregular heartbeat. Unfortunately, many people often overlook these warning signs, which can lead to delayed intervention.
In a bid to encourage healthier lifestyle choices, experts emphasized the importance of adopting habits like regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, quitting smoking, and managing stress effectively. These measures, they noted, are key in reducing the risk of heart-related illnesses.
TOI’s Medithon featured multiple sessions where experts shared valuable insights, reinforcing the need for continuous education and proactive heart health management in today’s society.
