A well-known TV health expert, Dr. Hilary Jones, has delivered a powerful new warning about heart health—and revealed that one extremely common habit could double a person’s risk of suffering a heart attack. His message is clear, direct, and aimed at anyone who thinks heart disease is something that “only happens to other people.”
Speaking about the rising number of patients dealing with heart issues, Dr. Hilary explained that the formula for a healthier heart is not as complicated as many believe. It starts with maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, and avoiding the habits that silently damage the heart day after day.
“Don’t strain it by carrying too much weight,” he said. “Exercise your heart regularly—it’s a muscle, and it loves a bit of movement.”
But the doctor didn’t stop there.
He warned that many people are unknowingly clogging their arteries with high cholesterol, turning their hearts into ticking time bombs. What shocked viewers most, however, was his blunt message about one extremely harmful vice.
“Don’t smoke. Your heart hates that.”
According to Dr. Hilary, smoking doesn’t just increase heart-attack risk—it doubles it.
Doctors say that quitting even after years of smoking can still dramatically improve health. It reduces the risk of cancer, lung disease, heart problems, strokes, and even boosts mental well-being. The benefits begin almost immediately after the last cigarette.
In another segment, Dr. Hilary emphasized the underestimated impact of stress on the heart.
“Life can be relentless,” he said. “Constant pressure, always rushing—but too much stress is bad for the heart.”
He urged people to schedule moments of pure downtime: breathing space away from work, noise, and daily chaos.
“Put time aside just for yourself,” he said. “Relax. Your heart will love you for it.”
In yet another video, the doctor delivered a sobering message: millions of people are walking around at this very moment with high blood pressure—and they have no idea.
Wearing a blood-pressure monitor on his own arm, he explained that undiagnosed hypertension dramatically increases the risk of life-threatening conditions like strokes and heart attacks.
His advice was simple but urgent:
“Check your blood pressure soon. You don’t want to be at risk without even knowing it.”
Dr. Hilary’s warnings come at a time when heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death. And according to him, many of the dangers people face are avoidable—if they take action early.
