Contrary to conventional belief that ‘pre-menstrual women are completely safe from heart ailments it has been noticed the menstruating population is falling prey to cardiovascular diseases.

Physical inactivity, increased use of tobacco, and genetic make-up, makes us more prone to falling prey to heart diseases. Experts believe that the 80 % to 90% of risk factor for CVDs can be prevented by controlling risk factors like tobacco consumption, alcohol abuse and following a healthy diet, control over high blood pressure, cholesterol, timely and regular preventive health check-ups.
