How to control heart disease, obesity and diabetes?

 Medical experts have said that heart disease, diabetes and obesity cannot be controlled without a ban on the promotion of sweet drinks and cigarettes.  Has been overcome.
 The inauguration ceremony of the Rehabilitation and Prevention Center was held at the Cardiology Department of Civil Hospital Karachi.  Dr. Rubina Bashir, Medical Superintendent, Civil Hospital Karachi, Prof. Zarnaz Wahid, Prof. Saba Sohail, Dr. Noor Muhammad Soomro addressed the gathering.
 Professor Ijaz Vohra says that interventional cardiology in Pakistan has resulted in a reduction in the treatment of heart diseases through surgery and medicine, resulting in a reduction in deaths as a result of this treatment.
 He said that advertisement of soft drinks and tobacco is increasing in our country while developed countries have controlled their advertisements by banning their advertisements and imposing heavy taxes on diabetes, heart and obesity diseases.  Should be banned and taxes should be increased so that their use is reduced and the resulting diseases and the pressure on hospitals as a result of these diseases can be reduced.
 Dr. Ejaz Vohra further said that unfortunately we are not working on pre-prevention, we should work on pre-prevention, people need to be made aware to change their lifestyle, make exercise routine, use healthy diet,  Change your sleeping and waking hours, he asked Administrator Karachi to make use of the spaces under flyovers and bridges, set aside for other sports including table tennis and badminton so that citizens can participate in physical activities.  With no playgrounds in the city, young people are running out of opportunities to play.
 Later, while talking to SAMAA Digital, he said that after primary PCI and angioplasty, the chances of recurrence of the disease are not eliminated, it just means that the risk factors of the disease have to be managed  But the cause of this disease is to minimize these risk factors ie to keep your cholesterol low, LDL should be less than 70, blood pressure should be less than 130 and 80.
 Ejaz Vohra said that if you have diabetes then your HB1CA should be 7 or less, the patient should not sit at home after angioplasty, therefore rehab is necessary, through rehabilitation.  Increasing the working hours of the affected person will increase his confidence.
 Prof. Mansoor Ahmed said in this regard that in the 50's the first 3 months after a heart attack were bed rest, in which 30% of deaths occurred, now they do not give bed rest for more than 24 hours.  Bypasses and medications have reduced deaths from heart disease, but most deaths can be controlled by being physically active. Keeping a physically active person active is more beneficial than medication, the heart.  After the attack, people get scared, even the family members do not allow them to do anything, they stay in bed but it is better for such people to remain active.
 Responding to a question, he said that risk factors have to be overcome to prevent the disease, stents and bypass have no effect on the disease, taking medicine for the disease, exercising and changing one's daily routine.  Are very important.
 Pakistan Hypertension League Secretary General Prof Muhammad Ishaq told SAMAA Digital that rehabilitation is very important for a person suffering from heart attack.  Whatever treatment is given to such a patient will not be beneficial, the purpose of rehabilitation is to lead a physically active life, as a result of which your blood sugar level, cholesterol and blood pressure will decrease.  The narrowed arteries of the heart open, and you feel mentally strong and healthy.
 "In our country, rehabilitation is not important. Patients consider taking medicine as a cure. It will temporarily stop their symptoms, but it is not a complete cure. Long term benefits and a healthy lifestyle change," he said.  It is not possible without it. People suffering from depression, those who live alone, those who are involved in domestic disputes are more prone to heart disease. Social life is very important in our religion.
 Prof. Mohammad Ishaq further said that sweet drinks and tobacco are very harmful to human health, tobacco is not only dangerous for heart, brain and lungs but it also causes all kinds of cancers. Sweet drinks are like poison.  They are high in calories, which are being eliminated in developed countries.
