If the sugar level goes down, the risk of heart attack is halved, and research reveals many other surprising facts
Till now it was believed that if one wants to avoid heart disease, then it is important to keep cholesterol and blood pressure under control, but research published in the medical journal The Lancet says that to avoid heart attack, it is also important to keep sugar level under control.

It's commonly believed that heart disease is caused by high blood pressure or high cholesterol. However, new research suggests that even slightly elevated blood sugar levels can pose a significant risk.
Controlling this risk can cut the risk of a heart attack in half, according to research published in the medical journal The Lancet . The study suggests that controlling blood sugar levels at prediabetes levels can reduce the risk of heart attack by approximately 50 percent.
Research has shown that controlling sugar levels at pre-diabetes levels not only prevents diabetes but also reduces the risk of heart attack.
Research has shown that people who reduced their fasting blood sugar below 97 mg/dL, controlled their weight, and exercised daily reduced their risk of heart attack in the coming years by almost half.
Doctors involved in the research say that if prediabetes is treated in its early stages, it can protect the body from heart disease for years to come. This also reduces the risk of heart attacks and heart failure.
Why was a new standard added to prevent heart disease?
Until now, research and expert advice have recommended controlling blood pressure, lowering LDL cholesterol, quitting smoking, and reducing obesity to prevent heart disease. However, this research has made it clear that controlling sugar levels is also essential to prevent heart attacks.
Research also shows that controlling pro-diabetes not only prevents diabetes but also reduces the risk of heart attack.
Research suggests that it's important to keep fasting blood sugar levels below 100 mg/dL and below 140 mg/dL after meals. Maintaining this level can also help prevent heart attacks.
