Hyderabad: The death of actor Sidharth Shukla has once again brought the focus back on why are fit and young people dying of sudden cardiac arrest. While stress and lack of proper sleep are some of the top reasons, experts also advise individuals to go for frequent full body check-up and body analysis by certified physicians before embarking on the fitness journey.

“Everyone leads a stressful life and with social media, we are always hooked onto our phone which is impacting our sleep cycle and our exercising pattern. Before starting one’s fitness journey, one should always consult a certified physician for any underlying conditions and exercise accordingly,” says Kuldep Sethi, director of 360 Degree Fitness in Hyderabad and celebrity fitness trainer.

Some experts also suggest that overdoing anything, especially workouts or training at gym has serious side effects.

“One must assess their physical ability and not strain the body beyond a certain degree. Recuperation is as important as the workout. The desire to stay fit and super lean forces some people to give up a proper diet and in some cases even water. The intention here is to drain out the excess water from the body. But this could be a dangerous move if constant monitoring of health is not kept,” says Dr M Sai Sudhakar, Senior Interventional Cardiologist, Gleneagles Global Hospitals.

In addition to the above mentioned things, one must also be wary of supplements one takes. While some are good to build muscle, they also tamper with the overall balance of the body, says Dr Naveen, a physiotherapist. “People in late 30s and early 40s are under stress of the job, peer pressure and ambitions. There is little or no exercise and they are used to junk food and habits of smoking, drugs, and alcohol,” Dr J Anish Anand, Consultant Internal Medicine, Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills said.
