Beyond diet and exercise: How modern urban lifestyles are changing the heart

A person’s heart condition is often determined by such simple things like diet, exercise, no smoking, and cholesterol levels control. Nevertheless, given how increasingly hectic our lives become on a daily basis, cardiologists have found it necessary to look at other possible lifestyle aspects affecting cardiovascular wellbeing. They consist of stress, sleep deprivation, sitting for too long, occupational pressures, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and physical inactivity. When it comes to people who work in the city, the issue is not about the lack of knowledge but maintaining proper practices while working long hours. This could translate to less time for exercising, proper nutrition, and sleep due to the stresses of always being connected to one’s work.
