Cardiologist Urges 5 Daily Habits Over Supplements for Heart Health

Summary
Dr Akhil K Rustagi said long-term heart health depends more on daily routines than on omega-3, antioxidant or herbal supplements, which he said should not replace proven prevention.
5 habits formed the core of his advice: regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate sleep, stress control and routine health check-ups.
Rustagi said physical activity improves circulation, blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, inflammation and cholesterol, while long-term eating patterns matter more than any single meal or pill.
Poor sleep and chronic stress, he added, are tied to high blood pressure, obesity, Type 2 diabetes and higher heart-attack risk.
Regular screening can catch silent risks such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and diabetes before they lead to heart attack or stroke.
