ASCVD RISKS: STEPS TO A STRONGER HEART
September - October 2025
|UNIQUE TIMES
World Heart Day is around the corner, and it is a good reminder for all of us to think about our heart health.
Heart disease and stroke continue to be leading causes of death worldwide, including in India. To better understand these risks, doctors now often use the concept of ASCVD—Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease. This term refers to conditions that happen when arteries get damaged and narrowed because of plaque buildup. ASCVD includes heart attacks, strokes, and even blockages in the arteries of the legs. In simple terms, it is about how healthy or unhealthy our blood vessels are, and how that affects both the heart and the brain.
Heart health and stroke are closely connected because they share the same root causes. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, being overweight, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, stress, and poor sleep all increase the chances of both heart attack and stroke. When the arteries that carry blood to the heart get blocked, it can cause a heart attack. When the arteries supplying blood to the brain get blocked or rupture, it leads to a stroke. In both situations, lifestyle plays a big role in either reducing or worsening the risk.
ASCVD Risk Calculator
ASCVD risk is a way of estimating how likely a person is to develop a heart attack or stroke within the next 10 years. Doctors may use this risk score to identify who needs lifestyle changes alone and who may also need medications for better protection. The calculation is based on a few key numbers and habits, all related to your heart health - your age, sex, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, whether you have diabetes, and whether you smoke. For advanced and more precise calculations, family history, weight, and kidney health are also included.

NATURAL DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN SAFE: THE TRUTH ABOUT DIY FRUIT & VEGGIE SKINCARE
In the beauty world, the word natural carries an almost magical appeal. If it comes from a fruit, leaf, or vegetable, many assume it must be gentle and harmless. But nature is powerful — and powerful ingredients, when misused, can irritate, damage, and sensitise your skin. While fruits and vegetables are rich in nutrients when eaten, applying them directly to your face without understanding their effects can backfire.
