Health 360: Does intense workout in gym trigger heart attacks? Devi Shetty explains

An in-depth analysis of a special health and wellness broadcast explores the rising cases of sudden cardiac arrests during intense physical exercises. Medical professionals highlight that South Asians are genetically vulnerable to heart ailments and strongly recommend comprehensive cardiac screenings, including an echocardiogram and a CT scan of the heart, before engaging in extreme workouts.

The discussion also addresses common fitness misconceptions, emphasising the importance of resistance training for bone density and debunking the effectiveness of crash diets. Furthermore, the episode investigates the widespread issue of misleading food labels in the country.

Following a regulatory crackdown on fourteen processed food brands, the report exposes how companies use deceptive marketing to sell ultra-processed junk food as healthy alternatives. Consumers are warned about products claiming to have zero added sugar or high protein, which often conceal hidden, unhealthy ingredients. The broadcast urges viewers to undergo timely medical evaluations and remain vigilant against false nutritional claims to maintain optimal health.
