11 -year -old child’s heart attack caused anxiety
Rajkot: Nowadays, there is a worrying increase in cases of heart disease in children in Gujarat. Recently, an 11 -year -old child died due to heart disease in Jasdan, which shows the seriousness of this problem. This incident is a warning for parents. In this regard, the News18 local team had a special conversation with Dr. Vandan Kanbar, Critical Care Specialist of Rajkot and learned the cause of all problems. Let us know what the doctor said.
According to Dr. Vandan Kanabar, Critical Care Specialist at Rajkot, the main three causes of heart disease in children are: congenital heart flaws, winter cold, and inappropriate diet. Especially the increasing use of packaged food and low physical activity is a matter of concern.
Critical Care Specialist Doctor said that parents and schools are required to take necessary steps for children’s health. Homemade food, regular physical activity and annual health check-up are important for children. Parents themselves should become an ideal example for children by doing activities like yoga, cycling or pranayam as children often follow their parents’ routine.
Children’s breakfast should be monitored
The doctor especially said to the schools that schools should monitor the breakfast of children and should be banned from bringing outside food. In addition, regular health check -ups and physical activities should be encouraged.
