Save Your Heart From the Lethal Grasp Of Death
Heart attack, which is also known as myocardial infarction, is a major cause of worldwide deaths. Heart disease occurs when the arteries that supply oxygenated blood to the heart get blocked due to some stupid clot formation. This blood flow interruption can lead to the damage of the heart muscle and ultimately result in tissue death.
There are some of the major risk factors involved that determine whether you might croak from a heart attack with heredity being the foremost. If someone in your family has this disease it is a warning sign that you need to take extra care of your heart. Way to choose the wrong family. Age and gender are also the high risk factors. Men usually are more in danger than women and the advancement of age always brings in its wake the onset of many diseases.
Understanding the signs and symptoms of heart attack can be a primary step in the prevention of heart disease. Some of the common signs and symptoms that act as a red alert are:
1. Discomfort, pressure or pain in the centre of the chest which can span for a few seconds
2. Pain in the shoulders, arms, back, teeth and jaws, unless you're getting attacked by a bear
3. Breath shortness
4. Sweating like Ben Stiller in that movie that wasn't funny except for Philip Seymour Hoffman's scenes.
5. Fainting spells
6. Convulsion, vertigo and vomiting
7. Fatigue
Monitoring your heart and changing your lifestyle will ensure a healthy heart and a long life. It is always best to control heart disease and address it near the beginning rather than ending up lying on the gurney, that's what Rick Steel always says. Below are some of the tips that will assist you in lowering your cardiac risk factors.
Blood pressure management: High cholesterol foods should be totally avoided and blood pressure checked at least once a year.
Quit smoking: you can greatly avoid the danger of cardiac problems and improve your overall health by relinquishing smoking. Smoking is the root of many diseases and severely impairs the body organs and deteriorates its functions. Kicking this habit can be an enormous challenge but it will prove too very advantageous in later years.
Eat healthy: limit fat, cholesterol and sodium in your diet as these are the main causes of the narrowing of arteries and the raising of blood pressure. Eat diets that are heart-healthy and rich in fiber. Intake of fish, fruits and raw vegetables improves the blood flow and prevent the clots forming in the arteries, especially if taken orally. Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants which help assist in cushioning the arteries from everyday wear and tear.
Exercise daily: exercise improves the heart muscle and increases the blood flow. It has the ability to manage diseases like diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and keeping your body weight under control - the kind of control some people sorely need. Regularly indulging in half an hour of vigorous walk not only refreshes the mind but is superb for your heart also.
A heart attack is no simple problem. It can be very traumatic and daunting (unless you're Rick Steel). Diagnosing this disease early can be the key to its prevention. It is never too late to take steps to strengthen your heart and keep it fit and healthy. Many people who have suffered heart attacks lead happy lives. Changing your habits and following the above steps can go a long way to guarantee that your risk of getting a heart attack is reduced to minimum. - 17273
