Doctors say the body doesn’t rely on just one heart. Alongside the organ in the chest, our calf muscles act as a “second heart,” pumping blood back to the main one and keeping circulation strong.

For heart health, brisk walking for 30 minutes proves more beneficial than 15 minutes of spot jogging. Walking provides sustained aerobic activity, improving blood flow and endurance.

Cardiologists, including Dr. Bimal Chhajer, emphasize that maintaining heart health involves consistent, mindful lifestyle choices rather than complex routines. Simple habits like mindful eating, a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress reduction, and adequate sleep significantly reduce cardiovascular disease risk. Proactive steps, including monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol, ensure a long, healthy life.
