Dr. Naveen Bhamri: BMI is a basic screening tool, but it doesn’t show body fat distribution, cholesterol levels, or artery health. Someone can have a ‘normal’ BMI but still have high visceral fat, insulin resistance, or unhealthy cholesterol. Common urban habits like late nights, high caffeine intake, poor sleep, stress, smoking, alcohol, frequent eating out, and reliance on protein shakes or processed foods can quietly increase heart risk.
