This year world heart day theme ‘Heart Heroes’ focuses on this aspect where every one should be aware of disease and its treatment. By this we can not only help ourself, our family and relatives buy can also be proved useful for the community, said Dr Anurag.
Taking about on eating habits to cut heart disease risk, Dr Anurag said that one should cut down on sugary beverages and fruit juices and choose water or unsweetened juices instead.
One should aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity 5 times a week or at least 75 minutes spread throughout the week of vigorous-intensity activity. Playing, walking, housework, dancing are they all count. Be more active every day, take the stairs, walk or cycle instead of driving. Exercise with friends and family and you’ll be more motivated and it’s more fun, said Dr Anurag.
