Frequently Asked Questions

How can children retain their playfulness post-heart surgery?

In children, birth defects in the heart are a hole in the heart, valve deformation, misplaced arteries, etc. Depending upon the complexity of heart surgery, the cardiologist will advise the exercises to be followed regularly. For complex conditions such as the blue baby who have undergone staged surgery like Fontan heart surgery, it is recommended to limit physical activity as they are unable to achieve normal oxygen level. So, better to take advice from their doctor.

Is heart disease hereditary?

Indeed. If you have a first-degree male relative less than the age of 55 or a first-degree female relative less than the age of 65, heart disease is considered to be a significant premature cognitive disease. So, it is recommended to follow a healthy lifestyle from an early age and start health check-ups for sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure. Do regular exercise & manage your diet to keep your heart health in good condition.

What if I don't do regular exercise, will it increase or decrease my stamina?

There is something called Aerobic endurance and muscle strength. Obviously, if you do regular exercise, you are training your cardiovascular system, muscles, and lungs to do physical activity with more rigour. The more you exercise, the more you train yourself to be able to exercise better to manage overall health.

What are the tips to boost our stamina?

Besides physical activity, spending time with family for mental peace and a greener environment will help manage good health.

What is the reason for not losing weight even after following regular exercise?

The factors such as Endocrine conditions, Dietary patterns, and Low carbohydrate & high fat are some of the reasons.

Is it healthy to drink protein shakes during exercise?

If you want to compensate for your calorie deficit by increasing your protein intake, then it is good to consume a protein shake. Also, sprouts are a good source of protein content for our bodies. Diet plus exercise hand-in-hand is good for the heart.
