It is alarming that the number of people in India dying with
sudden cardiac diseases has increased dramatically. It is unfortunate that the
major population suffering from cardiac death is quite young. It is the time
when they think of carrier romance, and marriage; they are attacked by a
disease of age and degeneration.
The major cause is the hectic life style we lead. Long hours,
target oriented jobs have created undue stress. Managerial skills keep the
employees always on their feet. Targets are kept in such a way that they are never achieved. Employee is
always under the feel of guilt. This guilt creates severe depression and
anxiety towards the administrative meetings he faces and worried about the
security of his job.
This creates surplus supply of hormones like adrenaline
which are good to fight the situation but bad for the heart. The body and brain faces more demand of
oxygen and energy to combat the situation. This will be met with more supply of
blood. The hormones make the heart to pump more blood for the increased demand
for body and brain. This increases blood pressure and heart rate. This increase
now and then affects the heart adversely.
Because of enormous
work pressures the meals are usually skipped or postponed. These irregular
meals are causing unhealthy snacking or prolonged hunger spans. In either case
the blood cholesterol shoots up to compensate the low blood sugars. This severe
adverse effect on heart adds up.
High target means high workload. This is directly related to
long working hours. This brings in irregular sleeping patterns which disturb
the biological clocks; irregular sleep is associated with incomplete sleep.
Incomplete sleep not only cause day naps but also put the person’s life at risk
especially if he is behind wheels or at high risk zone. Irregular incomplete
sleeps have been proven beyond doubt that they are one of the major causes of
major heart attack.
As the mind is not at rest one reverts to wrong means of
relaxation. Instant relaxation can be achieved by fat rich junk food, smoking
and alcoholism. Needless to say these three are the final nail in the coffin.
Heart, which has been overworked under the whip of sympathetic hormones and is
poorly relaxed, is poured over with wrong food and toxins, still you expect to
work.
Few of these precautions may help the heart to serve
better:-
1 .Proper sleep: Sleep for 6-8 hours. Do not keep mobiles or phones near you. They may maintain anxiety in you.
2.Regular meals: As you reach office in time, reach to your food promptly in time.
3.Avoid: Smoking and Alcohal should be given up. No medical school supports these. If someone supports them, even in small quantities, he is misguiding you. They have always been harmful.
4.Avoid Stress: Time management will keep your schedules in place and job completed in time. This will avoid undue butterflies. It’s always better to say no than not to complete undoable jobs.
5.Right food and proper exercise will keep your faithful heart healthy and in turn it will keep you happy.
