Diet
Ms. Saheli Biswas, Senior Dietician from Kauvery Hospitals, talks about how we can prevent the risk of cardiovascular diseases by consuming a healthy diet. Cardiovascular diseases in India have risen significantly, with factors like abdominal fat, hypertension, and diabetes increasing the risk. A heart-healthy diet, focusing on reducing sodium and fat, can lower these risks. Incorporating fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, low-fat dairy, whole grains, and seeds helps regulate blood pressure and control blood sugar. Staying hydrated and engaging in regular physical activity like walking or cycling also supports heart health, helping prevent cardiovascular issues.
