Medical news statistics show around 50% of the population in India goes through a heart attack before age 55. The Indian population has fallen prey to sudden heart attacks at a younger age. Here are some ways by which you can avoid a heart attack at a younger age.
Every day we hear about some youngster dying out of a sudden or silent heart attack. A heart attack is an urgent medical condition that causes damage to the heart muscle. It occurred because of loss of blood supply due to artery blockage. A heart attack can be fatal or dangerous if the patient doesn't follow precautions and medical procedures.

How to avoid a heart attack at a younger age?
Here are some ways by which you can reduce the risk of a heart attack at a younger age:
1. Quit Smoking:
Smoking is a crucial risk factor for heart attack. It increases the risk of blood clots, which can block arteries and cause heart attacks. It also increases the risk of high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels linked to heart disease.
In addition to its direct effects on your body's vessels (the arteries), smoking has been shown to raise your cholesterol levels—and this increases your chances of developing atherosclerosis (hardening or thickening of the lining inside an artery). An increase in cholesterol can lead to plaque build-up that narrows off your arteries' passages even further; eventually, this restricts blood flow altogether. Thus, the first step against a heart attack is quitting cigars.
