Sadly, Sonali Phogat, age 42, has joined the lengthy list of famous people who have died early due to a heart attack. The experts shed light on the occurrence and provide advice for maintaining a hearty constitution.
Everyone is in shock at the death of Sonali Phogat, a BJP politician and social media celebrity who died of a huge heart attack in Goa. Sonali’s death at such a young age from a heart attack adds her name to a lengthy list of famous people who have met the same fate. Several younger celebrities have recently passed away from heart attacks, including Sidharth Shukla (age 40), Puneeth Rajkumar (age 46), vocalist KK (age 53), and now Sonali. Another comedian, 58-year-old Raju Srivastava, also just collapsed after a heart attack while working out, and he is now in serious condition at the hospital.
According to Dr. Chandrashekhar, Associate Director of Interventional Cardiology at Max Super Speciality Hospital in Shalimar Bagh, while discussing heart attacks in younger patients, he adds, “Recently, something quite unusual has been occurring, and this “new” is a very significant change. People who have led busy lives and shown no signs of heart disease are dying of heart attacks at very early ages.”
Sudden cardiac arrests, the doctor says, occur when the heart suddenly stops pumping, depriving the body of oxygen. A person in such a situation may not have time to acquire medical help before they pass away within minutes. This may cause patients to have major heart attacks, which can result in cardiac arrest.
How can you then enhance cardiac fitness? Dr. Chandrashekhar highlights seven essentials for a healthy heart. His advice for maintaining cardiovascular health is as follows:
People who have heart attacks at a younger age tend to be smokers, so quitting is the first and most important step. Eliminate your usage of smokeless tobacco as well. If you’re not a smoker, you shouldn’t be around somebody who is. Even if you’ve smoked in the past, you may reduce your risk of heart attack by making the decision to finally put down the cigarettes for good. As soon as you can, please come to a halt.
Regular exercise not only aids in weight loss, but also reduces the likelihood of acquiring illnesses that raise the risk of heart attacks, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Make sure you’re getting at least 150 minutes of exercise per week, split between moderate and vigorous sessions. But if you can’t, don’t give up hope! Small, everyday actions like gardening, housework, and using the stairs may have a significant impact on cardiovascular health.
Fruits and vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet. Meat eaters should stick to poultry and fish because of their low fat and calorie content. Reduce your intake of processed foods, red meat, and alcohol.
The ideal body mass index, or BMI, is less than 25. Body mass index (BMI) is calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared.
Getting a good night’s rest is essential, so try to get between seven and eight hours per night. A lack of sleep is associated with an increased risk of acquiring high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression.
Meditate and use other forms of relaxation to manage stress.
Seventh, don’t forget to get your regular checkups! It’s recommended that frequent blood pressure tests begin around age 18. Screening should be performed annually between the ages of 18 and 39 for those without high blood pressure and then annually afterwards. Preventative cholesterol testing should start before age 40. Screening should begin in one’s forties if there is no family history of diabetes, but earlier if one does exist.
