You may not be totally correct if you still think that oil is the primary cause of artery blockages and heart damage. The nation's leading cardiologist, Dr. devi prasad Shetty, told News18, "The story has changed," as he offered advice on how to maintain the health of his own heart.
The doctor emphasized the value of eating a balanced diet and leading an active lifestyle. "You are what you eat," observed Shetty, one of India's brightest thinkers and a recipient of the padma shri and Padma bhushan awards. "Don't blame the oil, but sweets, sugar, rice, chapati… carbohydrates are the villain," he stated.
He thinks that those individuals' failure to be examined for heart disease is the true cause. "If they had undergone CT angiography a decade earlier, their death could have been prevented, or at least anticipated."
Every indian who is 30 years of age or older should make it a habit to walk 10,000 steps a day and do yoga, according to Shetty, whose life and work are highlighted in the fourth episode of the Netflix series The Surgeon's Cut.
"If you really want to remain fit and celebrate your 95th birthday standing up and cutting a cake with your great-grandchildren, you have to exercise, walk, and do yoga."
Although it is still generally advised to forbid alcohol and tobacco, he emphasized that "everyone must wear a smartwatch."
"You should make it a daily goal to walk 10,000 steps. because the advantage of those who walk for decades at a pace of over 10,000 steps is amply demonstrated by scientific publications published in the finest medical journals.
People who walk are less likely to develop uncontrolled diabetes and cardiac issues. "They have lesser incidence of dementia, cancer and you name the disease, they do much better than those who walk less," he stated.
It's crucial to continue monitoring bodily parameters through diagnostic testing and lipid profiles while adhering to health guidance.
According to the 71-year-old surgeon, a laparotomy was performed in the early days when patients would see doctors with stomachaches in order to open the abdomen and examine the condition.
These machines produce "virtually magical" visuals, but our lack of trust in these technologies is the main issue, Shetty stated today.
He advised indians to put their heart health first and come up with innovative ways to reach their daily step goal, including wearing headphones while on the phone. "Given the environment we live in (such as air pollution), there's no other way to keep cardiac health in check."
