“Smoking is considered bad but sugar is equally bad as it leads to hypertension, insulin resistance, obesity, heart disease and fatty liver. To keep the heart healthy, one should stay away from refined carbohydrates, bakery products and red meat. One should include more fruits and vegetables in the diet and walking for 30 to 40 minutes should also be included in daily routine,” said Dr Bishav Mohan, medical superintendent, Hero Heart DMC Hospital.
He said excessive gymming and consuming protein shake afterwards were not proving good for health and on the other hand, yoga had given positive results.
Dr Mohan said Indians were deficient in protein and thus, consumption of almonds, walnuts, soya bean, cottage cheese and egg which was cost effective, should be increased.
Dr Arvind M Das, director of cardiology at Max Hospital, said a witnessed collapse should immediately trigger a resuscitation response. It involves firstly checking the pulse of the patient and calling him out to check his responsiveness. The fall could be due to low blood pressure or low sugar.
