Earlier this month, 40-year-old actor Sidharth Shukla passed away, reportedly after suffering a sudden heart attack. The incident further highlighted concerns regarding poor heart health, especially among young people. “Cardiovascular or heart disease is largely preventable, so it's important to know what you should and shouldn’t do to improve your heart health. Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking and excessive alcohol, including 30 minutes of physical activity at least five times a week, maintaining your ideal body weight through a well-balanced diet, and managing your stress through daily meditation can help you build not just a healthy heart, but an overall healthy body and mind,” shares clinical and sports nutritionist Natasha Kanade.
