This is Why Young Adults Are More Likely To Develop Heart Disease

Under the age of 40, one out of every five people suffers from a heart attack. Over the previous decade, there has been a 2% rise in heart attacks. We've seen an increase in the number of young adults being admitted to hospitals owing to cardiac problems. Mentioning here some known cases like, K.K. (the singer), Siddharth Shukla, and Amit Mistry they all died of the same cause: heart disease. This poses the question, why have heart diseases become so prevalent in young adults?

The experts at Sarvodaya Hospital have listed three factors that contribute to the poor heart are:

• Genes

• Lifestyle 

• Psychological factors

Let's begin the talk with how genetic factors contribute to heart problems? Our genes are inherited by us from our parents and they are inherited from their parents and the chain goes on. We are very well aware of the fact that genes control every aspect of our body. With time these genes mutate and sometimes these variations can lead to or elevate the risk of heart diseases. This could happen by a change in the functioning of a particular protein which imbalances the cholesterol levels in the body. And high cholesterol can cause heart blockages, ultimately leading to a heart attack. 

The second factor is Lifestyle. Well, it's noncontroversial to say that our lifestyle determines our overall health but the majority of the urban population is living a sedentary lifestyle due to which they are at a higher risk than ever. Here are few main factors: 

Exercise: Daily exercise routine is a necessity for our body. But people will either lack the routine or will jump to vigorous exercises. Before planning an exercise regime it's very important to know which routine will align with your body. Consult an expert before adopting any regime as it can do more harm. 

 

Smoking: Cigarettes and tobacco are major factors for heart ailments. 

Tobacco increases the formation of plaque in blood vessels and cigarettes 

Chemicals can lead to clots which can damage your heart and blood vessels permanently. To quit smoking and protect your heart, adopt alternatives to control the urge of smoking which can ultimately help you quit smoking. 

Drinking: Excess intake of alcohol leads to an elevated risk of heart ailments such as heart rate or blood pressure. Alcohol weakens the heart muscles which makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood. When this process is affected the heart begins to expand and hold extra blood which results in an enlarged heart.  

Unhealthy eating habits: Between work and life our eating habits suffers the most. Few signs of unhealthy eating habits are eating at odd hours, always relying on junk food, overeating, or not eating at all.

To lower the risk it's important to adopt a healthy & Nutritious diet that aligns with your body's needs. 

Psychological factors: The most factors include stress, anxiety, depression, and behavioral changes at work, at gatherings, at home, etc. We are affected by every feeling. Excessive stress or worry can raise heart rate or blood pressure, increasing the risk of cardiac problems including heart attack or even stroke.
