WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TODAY?
Physical fitness has taken a storm among GenZ and
millennials today. Social Media is inspiring
millions of people via fitness influencers who
launch their 15, 30, or 45-day quick
transformation exercise programs. Kick-starting
your fitness routine is a commendable decision
but the first step towards a healthier lifestyle
would involve careful consideration, especially
when it comes to heart. You should consider
getting your heart checkup done by Dr Ranjit
Jagtap, MBBS, MS, a reliable cardiothoracic
Surgeon of Ram Mangal Heart Foundation, Pune. The
foundation has served 12,067 happy patients with
phenomenal heart-related services.

WHY IS A HEART CHECKUP EVEN REQUIRED?
Dr Ranjit Jagtap Clinic states the key reason,
when your body starts participating in an average
to high activity, there is a slight increase in
the risk of heart attack or cardiac
complication. Many people blame nature for the
sudden deaths in gyms but the real reason is not
taking heart health seriously and not getting the
checkup done on time. Before starting a physical
activity check, if youre someone who has a weak
internal medical condition or is suffering from
hypertension or has any family history related to
the heart. If yes, then you should deeply take
care of yourself and consult him for a proper
checkup. Being a junk food addict is another sign
of a bad internal medical condition. Choosing
exercise just for the weight loss purpose is
something which medical professionals strictly
deny.

moderate risk. If results are more than 3 mg/lit
then there is a high risk.
