Constant monitoring is ideal to avoid being surprised
Football is still in mourning! THE Uruguayan defender Izquierdo, 27 years old, of Nacional-URU, suffered a sudden illness in the 2-0 defeat against Sao Paulo, this Thursday (22), at the MorumBIS, in the second and decisive match of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores da América. And he died last Monday (27), in Sao Paulo, from brain death after a cardiorespiratory arrest associated with cardiac arrhythmia.
An episode that broke the four lines, that is, it aroused curiosity even in those who care about a healthy lifestyle. Thus, the cardiologist of the São Camilo Hospital Network and professor of Medicine at the São Camilo University Center, Dr. Luiz Velloso, revealed in an exclusive interview with Sport Life four tips to avoid heart problems.
What to do to avoid heart problems
Healthy habits
Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol, ultra-processed foods high in animal fats, and excess carbohydrates. Stay well hydrated and aim for a body weight that is appropriate for your body type.
Assessment
Especially in sedentary people and the elderly, who are about to start sports or the famous “weekend athletes”. The advice is to first carry out a careful evaluation by a sports doctor or a cardiologist to identify cardiovascular pathologies, which can involve risks.
Regularity
From the beginning, look for regular physical exercise, at least three times a week, of progressive intensity, that is enjoyable and not exhausting. Group activity can help a lot.
No excess
Avoid overtraining, that is, avoid a program that causes burnout or injury due to excessive and incorrect exercise load.
Message for professional athletes
“The cardiologist’s approach to these athletes begins with a careful search for symptoms and antecedents, as well as a thorough physical examination,” concluded Dr. Luiz Velloso.
