How Young is Your Heart?

How Young Is Your Heart? World Heart Day, Sunday September 24th 2006
A healthy heart is vital for living life to the full, regardless of your age or gender. Controlling the major cardiovascular risk factors, by choosing a healthy diet, being physically active and by not smoking can prevent heart attacks and strokes and may help the heart to age more slowly. That's why this year's World Heart Day, under the theme "How Young is Your Heart?", will encourage people around the world to adopt a heart-healthy lifestyle to help maintain a young heart for life.

For a Healthy Heart

* Do physical exercises like jogging, running, aerobics etc.,

* Eat healthy food rich in protein & vitamins, less in cholestrol,& oil

* Reduce stress in everyday life.

* Reduce worries & tension

* Quit smoking, even passive smoking is dangerous!!

* Reduce Alcohol intake

Yes, our Heart is a very important organ. And it must be properly taken care of,
for a better healthy & longer life. @DrSethi (Cardiologist) has a very good point.

Now that is THE BEST form of keeping ur heart strong & healthy and still not get bored for the rest of ur life, unlike the other options. but make sure it's only with ur wife or else u may end up loosing ur "u know what".

[azzu]

[Abhishek Dwivedi]

hey drsethi....thx for da stuff....i have a elder bro...his weight is near about 89kg...he often eats junk kinda stuff and oily too...is it harmful???plzz reply soon???

[Thor]

Well I am no doc, but my dad was one. So I can say , that sure is the Express way to get a Heart Disease ... See just mentioning the wt. is not enuff to determine if ur bro is Overweight . Height plays a very important factor .. There is something called BMI ( Body Mass Index ? ) which is actually used to determne whether someone's wt is proper . Stay away from junk food, oily stuff ...

Doc will sure come up with Professional advice...
