Why Are Young Adults at Risk?
Dr. Wang Liansheng, a top cardiologist at Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital, warns that sedentary routines, poor diets, and late-night screen time are fueling heart disease in younger crowds. “Sitting too long harms metabolism, and blue light from phones disrupts sleep—both hurt your heart,” he says.
Food as Medicine
Swap sugary snacks and red meat for a Mediterranean-inspired diet: load up on veggies, fish, nuts, and olive oil. Dr. Wang emphasizes cutting sodium and sugary drinks to slash diabetes and cholesterol risks.
Move It or Lose It
Aim for 150 minutes of weekly exercise—brisk walks, swims, or strength training. Desk-bound? Take hourly stretch breaks! Even small movements boost heart health and curb weight gain.
