But, one needs to be careful while gymming. Do not do any high-intensity exercises if you have any underlying health conditions. It in the rat race for looking good many end up in over exercising, using steroids, and switching from normal diet to diet supplements. TV actor Siddhaanth Vir Surryavanshi who passed away on Friday apparently he suffered cardiac arrest . He was at the gym when he collapsed and fell on the ground. He was rushed to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, where doctors tried to revive him for 45 minutes, but he couldn’t be saved. Dr Narayan Gadkar, Consultant Cardiologist, Zen Multi specialty Hospital, Mumbai says, “People who exercise rigorously tend to develop coronary artery calcification (CAC) over time. Doing high-intensity exercises can raise the chances of sudden cardiac arrest in individuals with underlying cardiac diseases like coronary heart disease.” Not just celebrities, many youngsters try to follow the trends set by their favourite stars. They wish to have the bodies like their lovable stars exactly. Moreover, some do it to flaunt their body on social media merely to gain attention and likes. So, that’s the reason they start working out. But, do not set any unrealistic expectations. While many are just obsessed to get fitter bodies Dr Narayan Gadkar adds, “It is better to speak to the doctor before you initiate any fitness routine. Also, stop immediately once you feel body pain, soreness or breathlessness.” Connection of high protein diet and health supplements with heart dieses It is not yet known whether too much protein can damage the heart by inviting heart failure. Dr Narayan Gadkar says, “It is best to consult doctors before taking health supplements. Avoid taking protein supplements or steroids as they have negative consequences on the body. It is better to eat a well-balanced diet.” Using drugs for increasing stamina to exercise Some may be using drugs to enhance their performance in the gym. Using drugs can lead to serious problems in your cardiovascular system. Drugs can change the way of functioning of the heart and raise the heart rate or slow it down.

Also, don’t forget that good bodies are made in the kitchen. So, eat well.” Using medicines to increase the metabolism If you are one of those who are taking such medicines, then you are doing it all wrong.
