Varinder Singh Ghuman dies of heart attack
Body builder Varinder Singh Ghuman, famously known as ‘The Heman of India’, said goodbye to the world at the age of 42. Varinder lived in Jalandhar, Punjab and was awarded the title of Mr. India in 2009. Apart from being a professional body builder, he was also an actor and dairy farmer. Despite being a pure vegetarian and fitness freak, his demise at such a young age is shocking. There is a myth among people that if they stay fit by body building then the risk of health problems like heart attack reduces, whereas it is not so. With age, not changing the diet and physical activity routine also harms the health of the heart or our nerves.
According to the NCBI report, if the level of bad cholesterol (LDL) increases in the body, then the blood flow in the veins starts deteriorating. In such a situation, extra pressure on the heart increases due to which the risk of heart attack or other heart related diseases increases. Although it is not possible to avoid heart attack by making changes, its risk can definitely be reduced to some extent by making some changes in the diet. Surbhi Pareek, a clinical dietitian from Jaipur, told how fitness freaks become vulnerable to heart attacks after the age of 40. Also, what changes can be made to avoid this? Learn.
Why does heart attack occur? Heart Attack Reasons
As age increases, there remains a risk of other health problems or diseases including heart attack. Deterioration of blood flow is a major reason behind heart attack because in this condition the pressure on the heart increases. However, apart from ageing, there are many other factors like lifestyle, diet and stress which also lead to heart attack. If cholesterol is not controlled, it leads to high BP, due to which not only heart attack but also serious health problems like brain hemorrhage can occur. After the age of 40, it is important to keep LDL i.e. bad cholesterol under control. Problems like chest pain, shortness of breath, nervousness or pain in the upper part of the body like shoulders or back are signs of a heart attack.
