Diet and nutritional tips to keep senior's hearts healthy in this monsoon

Heart attacks, strokes, coronary heart disease (also known as heart disease), and heart failure are all far more common in those over 65 than they are in younger people. Heart disease is a significant contributor to disability and limits activity and quality of life for millions of elderly individuals. Blood vessels and the heart might change as we age. For instance, as you age, your heart can no longer beat as quickly as it could when you were younger during physical exertion or stressful situations. However, normal aging has little effect on the heart rate (the average number of beats per minute) during rest. A person's risk of heart disease may increase with aging-related changes. The accumulation of fatty deposits in artery walls over a long period of time is one of the main causes of heart disease.

Image
The need for geriatric healthcare is rising as a result of aging populations in both developing and developed countries. By 2025, one billion more people are anticipated to live, with 300 million of them being 65 years of age or older. The financial and caregiver resources required to care for the frail will peak and start to diminish with population rises. A significant issue will be the aging population. In general, in 2025, many more individuals will be completely aware of their health hazards, and they will approach prevention and treatment in a proactive rather than a reactive manner. They will adopt preventative practices based on highly individualized insights because of the awareness of their own specific risks of getting a chronic disease. Many people will place a lot of emphasis on maintaining their physical and mental health, which will include engaging in specialized amounts of activity and diet, in order to age properly.
