Greetings to all, in this article, I will give you interesting tips and tricks about the world of health which aim to help the general public to always be healthy and stay fit in carrying out various activities in everyday life.

            In an era full of challenges and obstaclesThis, of course, in the use of technology in various fields or institutions and the community environment greatly affects the health of the public. With the use of uncontrolled technology, this makes people basically work by sweating, tired, and exhausted.

But nowadays, everyone is constantly using and running electronic devices that make it easier to do daily activities. However, it is very unfortunate that nowadays, so many people aged 20 years and above have heart disease.

The highest prevalence of coronary heart disease is at the age of 25-34 years, followed by the age group of 15-24 years and it is seen that coronary heart disease has appeared in the young age group by 0.7% and the prevalence increases at the age of 45-54 years and above, the highest at the age of 65-74 years by 3.6% above the age of 75 years decreased slightly to 3.2%. The prevalence of coronary heart disease sufferers is higher in the group of no school and no elementary school graduates compared to the group of elementary school graduates and above(Ghani & Novriani, 2016).

What is the relationship between uncontrolled use of technology and heart disease? The relationship is that uncontrolled use of technology makes its users lazy to exercise their bodies and lazy to move a lot so that the body cannot metabolize properly.

Therefore, over time, the fat in the body increases and accumulates, which has an impact on obstructing blood circulation and causing the heart to work faster than it should, resulting in death due to heart failure or heart disease.

However, is there no other option to overcome this? Of course prevention is better than cure, here I explain the steps to prevent heart disease efficiently and effectively and easily applied in everyday life without affecting work activities.

To increase physical activity is very easy and can be done anytime and anywhere. Actually, to keep the body healthy, there is no reason because of being busy working so that you cannot do physical activity or exercise. Exercising is very simple, just by doing 15 minutes of gymnastics a day in the morning is enough for office workers who have to rush to the office in the morning.

 

2.    Healthy Eating Patterns

However, avoiding consuming foods that contain a lot of fat and oil is also no less important to keep the body healthy and fit.

Because sometimes we don't know that with a very good condition and never feeling severe pain, it turns out that our body has been suffering from chronic diseases without us realizing it, so it's too late to prevent it. Spending money to check your health a little is better than having to spend money later to treat the disease.
