Dr Ajay Kaul on Healthy Lifestyle Changes for Heart Health

Namaskar, I'm Dr. Kaul speaking. I'm the Chairman of Cardiac Sciences, Fortis Hospital, Noida. I've been practicing cardiology for the past 30 years. And I've seen that the pattern of heart diseases has changed a lot. There was a time when rheumatic heart diseases used to occur, infection of the heart, which had a common occurrence. Nowadays, lifestyle diseases have become very common. So it is very important for us to understand a few things. Why has this happened? The reason is our very bad habits. First of all, there is a sedentary lifestyle. Exercise has completely disappeared. The diet has become very bad. There are many professions in which people are not able to sleep properly. There are night duties. So it is important what we should do for these things. The first thing is to include a lot of fresh vegetables in your diet. That will change everything. Do exercise. And do exercise in such a way that you introduce walking in your daily lifestyle. Next, stop smoking. Zero, absolutely zero. There is no place for smoking. And last is, every day walk at least 3 kilometers in 30 minutes. If you follow these few things, you will be healthy and lead a very normal life. Thank you.
