Heart Disease In Us

Katherine Lange has had three open heart surgeries and 10 heart catheterisations, according to her father.

Though majority of us know that poor dietary habits and sedentary lifestyle can lead to multiple problems like cardiovascular disease, weight gain and various aches and pains, very few take corrective measures.

Today is World Health Day and it is celebrating the theme of 'universal coverage for all'. The concept resonates well with everyone, but to me, coverage isn't only about access to hospitals and doctors but also access to knowledge that empowers us to prevent the onset of diseases and living a fulfilling life without fear.

Nutritionist Nmami Agarwal in her recent Instagram post said, "Sugar is like a sweet poison." Let us understand as to what are the reasons that make added sugar a sweet poison.

Chronic inflammation has been linked to various diseases such as heart disease or stroke. It may also lead to autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. But there are certain foods can help keep inflammation under control. Let us see what a nutritionist eats to fight inflammation.

Good carbohydrates do not raise the blood sugar levels too quickly. The best carbohydrates are found in unprocessed whole foods which are rich sources of phytochemicals - plant compounds, which protects us against heart diseases, cancer and other chronic illnesses.

Once ubiquitous in everything from frozen pizza to coffee creamer to popcorn, artificial trans fats are - as of Monday - banished from U.S. restaurants and grocery stores.

A study conducted by scientists from Duke University in the US have discovered that Statins, a gene variant which affects cholestrol levels and reduces the risk of a heart attack or stroke may also provide protection against many other infectious diseases like typhoid fever and malaria.

Scientists are very close to snipping inherited genetic diseases out of human offspring using a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. For the first time, scientists said, they corrected a gene mutation linked to inherited heart conditions in human embryos using the approach.

Heart disease was once considered an old-age ailment but has now become a common lifestyle concern. Statistics show that the rate of heart diseases in India is double of that of the national averages of western countries. Despite being a growing concern, not many of us are aware of the most common heart attack symptoms.
