Rohan Mirchandani, co-founder of yogurt brand Epigamia, passed away a day ago at the age of 42. His family members confirmed that he died due to a heart attack. In recent times, a disturbing trend of heart attack problem has been seen among the youth. It has also been observed that winter season acts as a trigger for this.
Heart attacks are common in winter due to several reasons, including cold weather, stress and unhealthy habits. When it’s cold, your body constricts blood vessels to maintain temperature, which increases blood pressure and heart rate. This causes your heart to work harder to pump blood, which can be especially difficult for people with heart disease.
Stress
Stressful holidays, such as managing celebrations or dealing with in-laws, can increase the risk of heart attack. Stress levels may also increase on Monday morning. During the holidays, people may eat more unhealthy foods, drink more alcohol, and exercise less.
As cold increases, pressure on the heart increases. Because due to contraction of the arteries in cold, BP becomes high and pressure on the heart increases. Therefore, along with heart diseases, cases of heart attack also increase in winter.
People’s physical activity reduces in winter. They don’t want to get out of bed because of the cold. They roam outside less. Due to this laziness the risk to the heart increases. Apart from this, people who are suffering from respiratory problems are also 6 times more likely to suffer from heart failure due to pneumonia.
However, it is important to take care of the heart not only in winter but in every season. Because in the last 32 years, the cases of deaths due to heart disease have increased by 60 percent. Every year 2 crore people die due to heart attack alone. Therefore, to keep the heart healthy, take 6-7 hours of sleep. Along with this, it is also necessary to practice yoga for 30-40 minutes every day so that the heart remains healthy. Know the ways to keep heart healthy from Swami Ramdev?
What are the enemies of the heart?
High BP, obesity, sugar, cholesterol, arthritis and uric acid are enemies of the heart. The risk of heart attack increases in winter because the arteries shrink and this affects blood flow, increases blood pressure and puts pressure on the heart. The cases of heart disease have increased by 53 percent in 5 years. Irregular heartbeat is the biggest problem for heart related problems in youth.
