Why Heart Health Matters

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death globally. In India, rising stress levels, sedentary lifestyles, and unhealthy eating habits are putting more people at risk—at younger ages.

5 Everyday Habits for a Healthy Heart

• Eat Smart: Choose a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Reduce your intake of salt, sugar, and processed foods.
• Move Your Body: Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise (like walking, cycling, or yoga) most days of the week improves heart function and circulation.
• Manage Stress: Chronic stress increases blood pressure and heart rate. Practice deep breathing, meditation, or take time to do what relaxes you.
• Quit Smoking & Limit Alcohol: Smoking damages blood vessels and increases heart attack risk. Reducing alcohol also helps control blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
• Monitor Your Numbers: Get regular checkups for blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. Early detection saves lives.
