Iconic radio presenter Ameen Sayani passed away on Wednesday due to a heart attack, his son has confirmed it to the media.
Sayani, known for his incredible voice presenting Binaca Geetmala, succumbed to a heart attack. He was 91.
A heart attack, medically known as myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, usually by a blood clot.
This interruption deprives the heart muscle of oxygen and nutrients, leading to tissue damage or death.
Taking care of the heart in old age is vital for overall health. Regular exercise, such as walking or swimming, helps maintain cardiovascular fitness and strength.
Adopting a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins reduces the risk of heart disease.
Monitoring blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and managing diabetes through medication and lifestyle changes is essential. Avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol intake also support heart health. Regular medical check-ups and adherence to prescribed medications are crucial. Additionally, managing stress through relaxation techniques or hobbies fosters emotional well-being, which indirectly benefits heart health in older adults.
