New Delhi: As people age, the body begins to experience various health challenges. However, many parents often neglect self-care and instead adopt unhealthy lifestyles and poor eating habits. These harmful routines can negatively affect vital organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, and digestive system, along with overall daily functioning.
Recently, digestive health experts have shared some essential tips that can help maintain the health of parents—particularly supporting heart, lung, and blood sugar balance. Including green vegetables and salads in the diet can be highly beneficial. These foods are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals that not only help regulate blood sugar levels but also strengthen the heart.
Similarly, whole grains such as oats, jowar (sorghum), bajra (pearl millet), and ragi (finger millet) digest slowly, which helps keep blood sugar levels stable and lowers cholesterol. Developing a routine of light physical activities—such as a 30-minute daily walk, yoga, or other exercises—can significantly contribute to keeping the heart and lungs strong and healthy.
