The fatal health problem that affects Greater Manchester almost 'more than anywhere else in the country'
A serious health problem plagues Greater Manchester almost ‘more than anywhere else in the country’, according to an expert cardiologist. The doctor has warned that people in the region could fall victim to potentially fatal heart conditions and has given his best advice on how to avoid them in the future.
"There's a clear problem within Greater Manchester that seems to affect us more than other cities,” explains Mr Sarma. “Certainly there's, there's a north-south divide. “All of these are fundamental principles of good old common sense, healthy living, you don't need a cardiologist to tell you this sort of stuff. But it does play into the fact that cardiac disease is heavily represented here in Manchester, arguably, more so than most other places in the country.
You don’t have to pay lots of money to get results The cost of living crisis has made people examine every bill, including changing what they shop for or whether they pay for exercise. Mr Sarma says that you can change your life and get healthier in ways that are not only free, but could actually save you money.
“That sort of activity is as good as doing more formal exercises, it's about trying to start simple and work up to more formal exercise.” “That does impact cardiac disease as well, we know that because there have been studies in the past.” “It's actually not about nicotine so much. That's what makes you want to have a cigarette, but it's actually about inhaling smoke. And that's something that is a big problem.
"On alcohol, we're learning that maybe there's no such thing as a healthy level of alcohol consumption, unfortunately, for many people. Even if you like a drink or two, it's probable that if you have no alcohol at all, it's the safest thing to do. Certainly [nothing] over drinking one, maybe two drinks a day, and preferably having two or three alcohol free days per week.
Complications in the cost of living crisis Not only does the cost of living crisis make fitness classes unaffordable for many, financial pressure can also add to people’s daily stress levels. That has an influence on heart health too, says Mr Sarma. Seek treatment Finally, the doctor says that if you are worried about your heart, seek help. Mr Sarma has shared what to look out for and who to seek help from.
