Many such videos often appear on social media, in which people are seen suffering from a heart attack. There has been a significant increase in the cases of heart attack for some time. Especially now, the cases have started increasing a lot among the youth. This deadly condition, which earlier affected the elderly, is now taking the lives of the youth.

Many people often fall prey to it, especially during workouts. Such videos come to the fore every day, in which people suddenly faint while using the treadmill in the gym or doing intense exercise, which later turns out to be a heart attack. In such a situation, it is important to know why young people get heart attacks during workouts and how to protect themselves from them-

The doctor gave the reason.

Functional medicine specialist and cardiologist Dr. Alok Chopra (MD, MBBS) explained why people under the age of 40 are at a higher risk of heart-related diseases. He shared a video about this recently and gave information. Let's know what the doctor says-

This is why a heart attack occurs.

According to the expert, the treadmill is not responsible for heart attack during workout, rather it is an underlying metabolic disorder, which people do not pay attention to for many years. He said that heart problems during workout in people under the age of 40 do not arise from the treadmill, but from metabolic dysfunction.

What is metabolic dysfunction?

Metabolic dysfunction occurs when our body is unable to process food in the way it is designed to. In simple words, metabolic dysfunction is the condition in which the body's metabolism, that is, the process of converting food into energy and production and repair of cells, is not working properly.

This is also the cause of a heart attack.
The doctor said that many of us know young people who have suffered a heart attack on the treadmill or during intense exercise. However, the real reason behind this is not the treadmill or exercise, but something else, which includes the following:

Silent insulin resistance

Chronic inflammation

High stress pressure

Lack of sleep and recovery

Lack of essential nutrients in the diet
