Heart attacks are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but the good news is that they are largely preventable with the right lifestyle choices and medical care. At Anil Baghi Hospital, our expert cardiologists emphasize early prevention to keep your heart strong and healthy.
Top Ways to Prevent a Heart Attack:
✅ Adopt a Heart-Healthy Diet – Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Reduce intake of processed foods, excessive salt, sugar, and trans fats.
✅ Stay Active – Engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily like brisk walking, cycling, or swimming to keep your heart strong.
✅ Control Blood Pressure & Cholesterol – High blood pressure and cholesterol increase heart attack risk. Get regular check-ups and manage them through diet, exercise, and prescribed medications if needed.
✅ Quit Smoking & Limit Alcohol – Smoking damages blood vessels and increases the risk of heart disease. Avoid tobacco and limit alcohol consumption for a healthier heart.
✅ Maintain a Healthy Weight – Being overweight puts extra strain on the heart. Maintain a healthy BMI through balanced eating and regular physical activity.
✅ Manage Stress & Sleep Well – Chronic stress and poor sleep increase heart disease risk. Practice stress-relief techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga and ensure 7-8 hours of quality sleep.
✅ Control Diabetes – High blood sugar damages arteries. Monitor your blood glucose levels and manage diabetes effectively with the help of a doctor.
✅ Regular Heart Screenings – Early detection saves lives! Routine check-ups, ECGs, and echocardiograms help identify risks before they turn serious.
