Saffola Life Study the reasons for heart disease and how to overcome these.

Dr. Shashank Joshi one of the leading cardiologists of India and he is from Lilavati Hospital, shared the details about Saffola Life Study conducted in major cities of India in association with research partner Nielsen.

The top  reasons in the way of good health are
1. Temptations for tasty/spicy/oily food
2. Job stress/deadlines
3. No adequate space to exercise 
4. Long commute time
5. Less sleep

Dr. Joshi not only list out the reasons but also shared tips how we can overcome these challenges. 

1.  We should not have the wrong notion that healthy food are not tasty. Healthy food can be tasty with right ingredients and quantity. We should curb the temptations by limiting the intakes or sharing our food.
2. Job stress although unavoidable but can me minimised by taking deep breaths routinely and having more active time in our office hours.
3. In Mumbai space is a real issue. There is very less open space. But still there are quite a list of places which are good for doing exercise jogging and play and that to with clean air like Aarey colony, Borivali national park ,Aksa beach. The public parks are also an welcome addition. In our morning time or weekend times we can explore these options.
4. Long commute time which again is unavoidable in a city like Mumbai is a big reasons for stress. Again the deep breathing, good music etc helps in reducing that stress arising out of that long commute.
5.  In a city that never sleeps it's quite natural that it's inhabitants are also embracing that life with less sleep. While doctors recommend 8 hours of sleep a day but most of us find 6  hours of sleep a luxury. Many a time for that gadget /TV/ cinema we are losing our sleep. But  good and healthy  required our effort also. So we may skip that entertainment for a good night sleep.

Unknowingly we are not giving enough attention towards our health. That's why most Indians are becoming more prune to heart attacks and heart related diseases. The time has come to take that extra push for a healthier heart.
