Does Controlling Sugar Protect the Heart?
For those already managing health issues like diabetes, prevention begins with stability. Uncontrolled sugar levels put extra pressure on the heart and blood vessels, increasing long-term risk. By keeping glucose levels in check through regular monitoring, medication when prescribed, and lifestyle adjustments, individuals can give their heart the support it needs. Small, consistent actions add up to powerful protection.
The Truth About “Safer” Tobacco Alternatives
It’s a common misconception that smokeless tobacco or vaping is somehow safer than smoking. As Dr. Edwin explains, the real culprit is nicotine, and it affects the heart the same way regardless of how it’s consumed. Whether it’s cigarettes, e-cigarettes, or chewing tobacco, nicotine disrupts heart function and raises the risk of attack. The absence of tar or smoke doesn’t remove the danger, it only changes the form in which it appears.
Everyday Choices That Make the Difference
Preventing heart problems isn’t only about avoiding risks; it’s also about the habits you build. Prioritising exercise, eating balanced meals, and managing stress all strengthen the heart over time. When healthy routines become part of daily life, the heart is better equipped to withstand strain. Prevention, after all, is less about dramatic changes and more about consistent, sustainable decisions made every day.
