Jakarta (ANTARA) – Quite a few people still consider still wind a normal disorder that resolves itself. In fact, this condition, known medically as angina, can be a sign of serious problems with the heart’s blood vessels.
The risk of angina can increase due to different daily habits and certain health conditions without us realizing it. Starting from unhealthy eating habits, from smoking habits, to prolonged stress, everything can cause disruption of blood flow to the heart.
Understanding risk factors early on is an important step in maintaining heart health and preventing more serious complications in the future. Below are things that can increase the risk of windburn, based on information gathered from various sources,
Things that can increase the trigger of wind sitting
There are numerous factors that can make a person more susceptible to angina. Some of them cannot even be prevented, such as:
1. Increasing age
As you get older, your risk of angina increases. Blood vessels become less elastic and organ function begins to decline, making the body more susceptible to heart problems.
2. Family history
If parents have heart or blood vessel problems, children are usually at a higher risk of experiencing similar conditions. Additionally, men have a greater tendency to suffer from cold sores than women. In addition to these two factors that cannot be changed, there are other triggers that can increase the risk, such as:
• Obesity
Excess body weight is often associated with various diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, all of which contribute to impaired blood flow to the heart.
• Lack of physical activity
A passive lifestyle can cause fat accumulation and weight gain, thus increasing the risk of heart problems, including angina.
• Diabetes
Uncontrolled blood sugar can damage blood vessel walls and affect cholesterol levels, ultimately increasing the risk of angina.
• High cholesterol
Cholesterol buildup in the arteries can restrict blood flow to the heart, thus triggering the symptoms of angina.
That’s why understanding the risk factors for windburn is so important. By knowing what can trigger this condition, we can be more vigilant in maintaining heart health from an early age.
From maintaining your diet, to exercising regularly, to managing stress, small habits followed consistently can have a big impact on your long-term health.
Don’t wait for symptoms to appear, because prevention is always better than cure. If the risk is high, do not hesitate to consult a doctor to get the proper treatment and minimize the possibility of serious complications.
