Preventing Heart Diseases

Heart Diseases are very common in India and factually India has a higher average number of deaths due to heart attacks as compared to average in the world. Heart diseases in India can be attributed to our eating habits and sedentary lifestyle. Which means that if we introspect then there are chances that we can prevent heart diseases from happening. It is evening saddening when you see people as young as 35-40 years of age suffering cardiac arrest.

Preventing heart disease starts from knowing you own body. Most us will not even know what are the levels of our LDL or HDL or cholesterol in the blood. High LDL levels is one of the major factor that increases your chances of getting a heart attack. World over doctors have been telling that every person above the age of 40 years should get an annual health check up done which should include blood tests as well as ECG. In India most of the people believe in getting tested only when something happens, which is not the right way. A simple Lipid Profile hardly costs anything can tell you a lot about enemies of your heart.

Once you know your lipid levels we can work on lowering them. A low-fat, high-fibre diet is recommended, which should include plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables for a healthy heart. Another reason for heart disease is hyper tension or high blood pressure. You should limit the amount of salt you eat to no more than 6g a day as too much salt will increase your blood pressure. Similarly you should avoid stress by doing regular meditation, yoga, morning walks etc. You should also try to avoid too much sugar in your diet, as this can increase your chances of developing diabetes, which is proven to significantly increase your chances of developing heart disease.

MFit stands for – `I am Fit’. This is a countrywide programme aimed at fighting the lifestyle diseases. Most of the non-communicable diseases are caused by wrong choices of diet and sedentary lifestyle. Under this programme our teams go into the parks, offices, colonies, markets and other places to do a free screening of your health. In this screening we measure blood sugar, blood pressure, BMI, Body shape and lung capacity. On the basis of these measurements your MFI score is calculated. If your MFI score is more than 80% then you are fit. However if your MFI score is less than 80% then you need to work on your health. You are given the membership of our programme – Journey to Health and our trainers start working with you for achieving your health goals like BMI below 25, LDL below 100, HbA1C below 5.7 etc. Continuous monitoring and assessment is done weekly to monitor the progress.
