Its Heart Rending: Heart Diseases Kill Nearly Two Million Indians
T.S. Kler, executive director of Escorts Heart Institute and Research Centre, advised young people to quit smoking and stay away from alcohol.
'Now, begin your day with a small walk and ensure you take the stairs instead of the elevator. Begin an exercise regime and do it regularly,' Kler recommended.
He advised people to consult a doctor if one gains three or more pounds in one day, or five or more pounds in one week. 'To give your heart rest, try napping after lunch or putting your feet up for a few minutes every couple of hours and remember to put your feet up while watching TV. Quit smoking and be assured you will eliminate a major source of stress on your heart,' Kler said.
Elaborating on the benefits of yoga, he said: 'Try your hand at meditation or yoga. Take 15-20 minutes a day to sit quietly, breathe deeply and think peacefully. We must reduce stress, count to 10 before responding while feeling annoyed or angry.'
