Know the causes of heart disease and prevent it!

The Dhaka Times Desk Heart is the most important organ of our body. Stopping the beating of the heart means extinguishing the lamp of life. Sadly, the unconsciousness we live through increases our risk of heart disease. But living a healthy and regular life can keep away from heart attack and other heart diseases. So let's know the causes of various heart problems and ways to prevent them.

Causes of various heart problems:

• Most people have no obvious symptoms of heart problems. If blood cholesterol, sugar, blood pressure tests are not checked regularly, many people are unaware of their problems.
• Genetic or hereditary factors.
• Studies have shown that heart problems (ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect) may increase the risk of heart disease during dental surgery.
• Abstaining from dairy products (especially applicable to women).
• Lack of walking and physical exertion.
• Eating habits (consumption of fast food, energy drinks, excess oil intake)
• Excessive stress
• Loneliness
• to smoke

Ways of prevention:

• If one's father, grandfather or someone before him has heart disease, the risk of the disease is high, so one should be fully aware of this and follow the doctor's advice.
• Regular tooth brushing reduces the risk of heart disease.
• Eat almonds regularly as almonds lower blood cholesterol which reduces the risk of heart disease.
• Avoid energy drinks, they raise blood triglycerides. Consume plenty of water, lemon juice or sugarcane juice to quench thirst and provide energy.
• Irregular sleep and lack of sleep increases blood pressure, you should sleep regularly for six to eight hours.
• Avoid excessive drinking, as alcohol raises blood triglycerides, leading to heart failure and liver damage. However, drinking a small amount of alcohol can keep blood cholesterol levels in check.
• Practice free hand exercise (swimming, jogging) or walking regularly during the week.
• Stay worry-free to reduce heart risk. Do yoga, meditate, hang out with friends, take a vacation somewhere far away to reduce stress.
• Conduct various tests to detect heart disease at the right time. Twenty-year-olds should have their blood cholesterol checked every five years, blood pressure measured at least every two years. People over the age of 45 should have a blood glucose test every three years.
• Consume potassium-rich foods such as fibrous foods (pasta, lentils, pulses, greens), bananas, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, pears, cucumbers, and cauliflower. These lower our blood pressure and protect us from the risk of stroke.
• Avoid smoking.

By 2050, the number of heart patients in third world countries will increase to such an extent that one in three people will have heart problems. So everyone be aware and stay away from heart disease.
