KHOOBSURAT NAJMA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>70% of urban Indians are at risk of heart diseases. In recent times, there has been a rapid increase in the number of young people who are at risk of heart disease. Typically, males are at a higher risk.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The major risk factors are:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Family history of heart disease<\/li>\n<li>Smoking<\/li>\n<li>High cholesterol<\/li>\n<li>High blood pressure<\/li>\n<li>Sedentary lifestyle<\/li>\n<li>Obesity<\/li>\n<li>Uncontrolled diabetes<\/li>\n<li>Increased stress and anger<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Certain <strong>lifestyle changes<\/strong> can help in reducing these risks. The following changes have been found to be helpful in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/5-herbs-to-keep-your-heart-healthy-and-strong\/\">reducing the risk of heart problems<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exercise regularly<\/li>\n<li>Avoid smoking<\/li>\n<li>Reduce stress by practicing yoga and meditation<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you get 6-7 hours of sound sleep<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/categories\/health-conditions\/diabetes-care-29\">Manage your diabetes<\/a> better:\n<ul>\n<li>If you have a family history of diabetes, get regular checkups, eat a healthy diet and take your medicines on time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Keep your Blood Pressure in check:\n<ul>\n<li>Maintain a low salt intake and monitor your weight closely<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Keep your cholesterol levels low\n<ul>\n<li>Say no to saturated fats. Found primarily in red meat and dairy products, they raise total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol.<\/li>\n<li>Choose leaner cuts of meat, low-fat dairy and monounsaturated fats (like olive and canola oils).<\/li>\n<li>Eliminate trans fats. Trans fats can be found in fried foods and many commercial products, such as cookies, crackers and snacks.<\/li>\n<li>Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These include fish, walnuts, almonds and ground flaxseeds.<\/li>\n<li>Increase soluble fiber in your diet to help lower your LDL levels.
