According to the World Health Organization (WHO ), every year more than 17.5 million people worldwide die from diseases of the cardiovascular system. At the same time, about 80% of premature strokes and heart attacks could be prevented.

Doctor of Medical Sciences, cardiologist Yuriy Konev spoke about the main causes of heart attack at a young age.

Thus, according to him, improper nutrition significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The specialist noted that the best option for the prevention of atherosclerosis is the Mediterranean diet. He also recommended consuming at least 400 grams of greens, vegetables and fruits per day.

Among other factors of heart attack in young people, the cardiologist named a sedentary lifestyle and a disturbed regime. “The mode of work and rest that they observe – they visit nightclubs,” the doctor explained. According to the expert, the production of “bad” – LDL cholesterol – usually takes place at night. It, in turn, increases the risk of atherosclerosis.
