One of the leading contributors to rising heart attacks in younger adults is lifestyle. On the other hand, even a person with no family history can end up with a heart problem if he/she ignores healthy habits. Regular exercise, healthy eating habits, reducing alcohol and tobacco products and getting enough sleep will all contribute to heart health. In conclusion, the rising incidence of heart attacks in younger adults is a wake-up call. A proactive approach that combines healthy living with regular screening is the best way to safeguard heart health no matter your age.
