One love. One heart.

"ऐ काश कहीँ ऐसा होता के २ दिल होते सीने में"

Well this song may serve as an anthem to those who have had their hearts broken. But heart is one. And unaware we are constantly tinkering with its health. The teenagers may be doing it emotionally, the adults may be doing it physically. It shouldn't be hurt- not emotionally not physically. Lets pledge to put an end to the horrific treatment that we render to our helpless heart. But before that lets understand what makes our heart unhealthy. 

As we all know, heart is a blood pumping organ that transports everything important to our body cells for sustaining life. It carries oxygen, it carries waste material, it carries nutrients, it carries hormones and what not. Life will come to a standstill if these don't get transported to different organs- specially to brain. Now lets take an analogy: "the drainage system of your building". What shall happen if there is any kind of clogging in the pipes or if the pressure is low? It stops functioning or faces difficulty in pumping the water. Our circulatory system works exactly in the same manner. The blood vessels need to be cleaned from inside so that it allows free-flow of blood. 

Here are the few tips that I believe should be followed to keep a healthy heart:

Staying Active: We all know it is the cholesterol that gets our vessels clogged. To avoid cholesterol the best way is to stay active. Either by exercising daily or by choosing a profession that requires some kind of physical activity. If physical activity is not possible at least walk to your office. This is the least one should do. Staying mentally active is another dimension which should not be ignored.

Eating Better: No alternative to healthy diet. Fruits, Salads, low fat alternatives. The options are endless. The point to note is that diets are always very personal. So instead of advising I must ask you to find the best diet for yourself. Read online articles. Take help from people from your community or people who share similar eating habits. Or best go to a dietitian. It will definitely save you thousands.

Staying Happy: Now emotional stress can also lead to ineffective circulation. Laughing helps us circulate better so subscribing to laughter shows of Kapil Sharma or John Oliver should be a very good option. Other advice that I normally give is to follow short series which are in abundant in youtube.

So what are you waiting for. Lets pledge for a healthy heart and let the ball rolling.
