LiveLifeMore Health Show on Heart Failure by Dt. Pallavi Jassal with Dr. HK Bali

In this episode of LiveLifeMore Health Show, noted Health Presenter & Nutritionist Dt. Pallavi Jassal discusses ‘Heart Failure’ with eminent cardiologist Dr. HK Bali.

Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, occurs when your heart muscle is not able to pump enough blood it should so that the needs of the body can be fulfilled. Some conditions, such as narrowed arteries in your heart (coronary artery disease) or high blood pressure, gradually may lead your heart muscle to become too weak or stiff to fill and pump with optimum efficiency.

The good news is that getting diagnosed with heart failure is not a ‘DEATH SENTENCE’ as commonly thought. But, the bad news is that not all the conditions that lead to heart failure can be reversed, but treatments can improve the signs and symptoms of heart failure and can potentially help the patient live longer.

Certified Lifestyle & Wellness Consultant, Dr. Sandeep Jassal says that professionally guided lifestyle changes – such as a regular exercise regime, reduction in consumption of salt in your diet, stress and weight management can improve the patient’s quality of life.

One way to control heart failure is to control conditions that cause heart failure, such as coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or obesity.

However, once diagnosed, there are some devices which can help the patient lead a near normal life & also prolong the life too. These technological breakthrough devices are called Pacemakers, ICDs (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators), Combo Devices ( which have the features of both Pacemakers as well as ICD). Let us tell you a bit more about these devices.

Pacemaker: A pacemaker is a small device that can be placed in the chest wall or abdominal wall and it helps in controlling abnormal heart rhythms. This device uses low-energy electrical currents to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. Pacemakers are used to treat arrhythmias. Arrhythmias are problems with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or with an irregular rhythm.

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD) : An ICD is an appropriate device for heart-failure treatment when the person is considered to be a high risk of dying from an abnormal heart rhythm called Sudden Cardiac Arrest or Sudden Cardiac Death. It is a small device which can be implanted in the chest and continually monitors the heart’s rhythm. Whenever the ICD senses an abnormal heart rhythm, it activates an internal electric shock to the heart which is equivalent of being shocked with paddles outside the body that hopefully restores a normal heart rhythm. In a way it is like moving aroud with your own Cardiologist with in your own body.

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT): Cardiac resynchronization therapy is a new and promising treatment recommended in some patients with heart failure. in whom the electrical signals that control the pumping of the different heart chambers becomes erratic, making the heart unable to pump blood efficiently.
CRT devices are capable of restoring the coordination between the two sides of the heart and improving its function by delivering electrical impulses to both the right and left ventricles — the two large, main pumping chambers of the heart.

Why walking is necessary?

Why walking is necessary?

Good information that can help you Live Life More…
Ever wondered what happens to your body when you start walking as a routine?
Here’s a minute-by-minute rundown of the amazing chain reaction walking and exercise has upon your body, it’s truly amazing!
Minutes 1 to 5
Your first few steps trigger the release of energy-producing chemicals in your cells to fuel your walk. Your heart rate revs-up from about 70 to 100 beats per minute (bpm), boosting blood-flow and warming muscles.
Any stiffness subsides as joints release lubricating fluid to help you move more easily. As you get moving, your body burns 5 calories per minute, compared with only 1 per minute at rest. Your body needs more fuel and starts pulling from its carbohydrates and fat stores.
 Benefits of WalkingMinutes 6 to 10
Heartbeat increases and you’re burning up to 6 calories a minute as you pick up the pace. A slight rise in blood pressure is countered by the release of chemicals that expand blood vessels, bringing more blood and oxygen to working muscles.
Minutes 11 to 20
Your body temperature keeps rising, and you start to perspire as blood vessels near the skin expand to release heat. As your walk becomes brisker, you’ll be burning up to 7 calories a minute and breathing harder. Hormones such as epinephrine and glucagon rise to release fuel to the muscles.
Minutes 21 to 45
Feeling invigorated, you start to relax as your body releases tension, thanks in part to a dose of feel-good chemicals such as endorphins in your brain. As more fat is burned, insulin (which helps store fat) drops… excellent news for anyone battling excess weight or diabetes.
Minutes 46 to 60
Your muscles may feel fatigued as carbohydrates stores are reduced. As you cool down, your heart rate decreases and your breathing slows. You’ll be burning fewer calories but more than you were before you started. Your calorie burn will remain elevated for up to 1 hour.
All this happens without a single conscious thought from us – the human body is amazing.
So, keep walking…stay blessed & Live Life More.
Kindly forward to as many as possible

Holify your life with colous of fruits and wegetables

Holi – the colourful festival is here. Can you ever imagine the world without colour? A research published recently recommended that colour should be the one factor that you should consider when you pick a fruit or vegetable for yourself. According to this study, Mother Nature helps you identify foods with specific nutrients based on the colour that the nutrients impart to the food itself.

Coloured foods are said to contain phytonutrients, which are the plant compounds that can help you stay in good health. Based on the colour of the foods, you can gain different nutrients that may put you in the driving seat as far as health and well-being is concerned.

On this festival of colours, here’s what coloured foods can do for you for your health.

Each color of different foods adds different nutrients that are beneficial to your body. To get your array of color try these different foods:

Orange & Yellow
These foods are high in antioxidants such as Vitamin A and C which can improve your immunity and your protection against oxidative stress which causes variety of diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer etc. They include oranges, pepper, mango, carrots, lemon, papaya, pineapple, and pumpkin.

Blue & Purple
These foods often contain a phytonutrient called anthocyanins, which can help improve your memory and reduce risk of cardiovascular disease. These include eggplant, grapes, plums, raisins, blueberries, and prunes.

Green
Green foods contain the green pigment known as chlorophyll and are also high in essential nutrients such as folic acid (folate) and carotenoids (precursors of Vitamin A)  to help improve vision and reduce risk of disease. These include spinach, brocolli, asparagus, fenugreek leaves (methi), mustard leaves (sarson ka saag) and celery.

Red
These foods contain anthocyanins and lycopene, both the heart friendly compounds. These include tomato, red pepper, apples, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, beets, watermelon, and pomegranate.

White
White is a colour too that can add health. White coloured foods are said to contain nutrients such as alicin which can help promote heart health and reduce risk of disease. These include cauliflower, onion, potato, banana, garlic, and mushrooms.

So, including a rainbow of colours in your diet can make your food colorful and your cells will thank you! Stay blessed & Live Life More!
