Amritsar, September 29, 2025:
On the occasion of World Heart Day 2025, senior cardiologist Dr. Sanjay Gupta of EMC Hospital, Amritsar delivered an important message to society: Heart diseases cannot be controlled through treatment alone – they can be prevented through small but meaningful lifestyle changes.
Dr. Gupta emphasized that heart diseases have emerged as a major health challenge in today’s times. They are no longer confined to the elderly but are increasingly affecting the younger generation. Rising stress levels, unhealthy eating habits, lack of sleep, and physical inactivity are further aggravating the problem.
According to him, simple steps in daily life can lead to significant improvements in heart health. He recommended habits such as a 30-minute daily walk or light exercise, a balanced diet with fresh fruits and vegetables, avoiding harmful addictions like smoking and alcohol, and ensuring sufficient sleep. He also underlined the importance of regular health check-ups, as timely detection of high blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol levels can help prevent serious complications.
Dr. Gupta pointed out that heart diseases do not occur suddenly but are the result of long-term neglect and unhealthy routines. If people adopt caution and positive lifestyle changes today, the risk of heart diseases can be greatly reduced in the future. He stressed that heart health is not solely dependent on medicines – discipline in lifestyle and mental well-being are the true protectors of the heart.
The purpose of World Heart Day is to remind everyone that heart care is not just the responsibility of hospitals or doctors; it is a duty of every individual and every household. The message of keeping the heart healthy must reach every section of society. With this vision, EMC Hospital, Amritsar, is continuously working on prevention, timely treatment, and spreading awareness about heart diseases.
Concluding his message, Dr. Sanjay Gupta urged people to adopt a healthy lifestyle along with their families and loved ones, and to make heart care a daily priority. He stated, “Small changes, big benefits” is not just a slogan, but a truth that can help us live longer, healthier, and happier lives.
