1. Heart disease is inherited:
Partially true. This is only one of the factors predisposing you to heart disease and is not the sole factor
2. Weight conscious people never get a heart attack:
Persons with normal weight have a lesser chance of getting heart diseases in comparison to obese people. But it is misleading to conclude that persons who are thin or of normal weight are not exposed to cardiac problems.
3. Only vigorous exercise expand calories and reduce weight
Any slow physical movement also consumes calories and can reduce a weight if done for sufficiently long time
4. A zero fat diet is excellent
Not correct, some amount of fat is necessary for carrying out vital functions of the body
5. Occasional recreations and holidays from office are good for busy executives
Yes. It does relieve them from constant anxiety and tension related with their job. But by no means, can such a holiday or recreation negate totally the risk of heart disease
6. A heart patient should abstain from sex
Partially true. Sex act temporarily involves putting greater strain on the heart by increasing the heart rate to 130-150 times a minute instead the normal 72 times a minute. If you have undergone a heart surgery, one should not resume sexual relation before 4-6 weeks.
