Today, not only in the elderly, but also in young people in their thirties and forties, the rate of heart attacks is increasing at an alarming rate. Here are the main reasons behind this:<\/p>\n<p>High cholesterol and poor diet: An increase in the level of bad cholesterol (LDL) in the blood causes the formation of plaque in the arteries. Excessive consumption of fast food, fried and fried foods, and bakery products containing trans fats increases cholesterol.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d2a\u0d41\u0d30\u0d41\u0d37\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d2e\u0d3e\u0d30\u0d3f\u0d7d \u0d39\u0d3e\u0d7c\u0d1f\u0d4d\u0d1f\u0d4d \u0d05\u0d31\u0d4d\u0d31\u0d3e\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d4d \u0d35\u0d30\u0d41\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d28\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d28\u0d4d \u0d2e\u0d41\u0d2e\u0d4d\u0d2a\u0d4d \u0d15\u0d3e\u0d23\u0d41\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d28 \u0d2a\u0d4d\u0d30\u0d27\u0d3e\u0d28 \u0d32\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d37\u0d23\u0d19\u0d4d\u0d19\u0d7e Dr Ajayan Varghese\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ILQ-MC_QvvA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>High blood pressure without symptoms (High BP): If hypertension or BP is not properly controlled, it thickens the walls of the arteries and loses their elasticity.

It also causes blood to clot easily and leads to blockages in the arteries. Smokers are twice as likely to have a heart attack than others.<\/p>\n<p>Uncontrolled diabetes and obesity: High blood glucose levels in diabetic patients can damage the nerves and blood vessels to the heart over time.
