Keep your heart beating

So,we all know preventing is the best option,so lets see how to prevent one of the most fatal and common disease known to mankind-------> HEART ATTACK

WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK?

The thing is,everyone knows that this is one of the common disease among heart diseases,but why oh why people don't care about it? It baffles me actually because the society thinks that the disease is only dangerous for old people and not the youth,so they do not need to worry about it until they reach 40,THEN only they start preventing and getting worried?? This is rubbish and nonsense because diseases know no boundaries,neither age nor level of society. So in our efforts to keep people aware,lets talk about Prevention of the disease known as HEART ATTACK

HOW COULD THIS,HAPPEN TO ME? 

What people think our heart looks like

 

What it really looks like

 

 They say action speaks louder than words,so lets watch a video about how heart attacks happen!!

 PLEASE,STOP IT!! 

 NOW,for the main event,how to prevent! not cure,i repeat prevent! heart attacks. There are a couple ways to prevent so we'll so from the foundation of prevention and we'll move on from there.

1. Quit smoking

   All and anything that has anything to do with tobacco is bad news for the heart. Beside heart attack,smoking is also known to cause other diseases.In addition, the nicotine in cigarette smoke makes your heart work harder by narrowing your blood vessels and increasing your heart rate and blood pressure. Carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke replaces some of the oxygen in your blood. This increases your blood pressure by forcing your heart to work harder to supply enough oxygen. Even so-called "social smoking" — smoking only while at a bar or restaurant with friends — is dangerous and increases the risk of heart disease. So smoking is confirmed as a big no no to achieve a healthy lifestyle.

2. Exercise for 30 minutes on most days of the week  

   Heart attacks happen because our blood vessels become narrower due to fat accumulation in the blood vessels,so to makes these fats disappear we need to do physical activities daily and keep a healthy lifestyle.Exercise will help to burn the fat accumulated and decrease the risk of hearts attacks.Physical activity helps you control your weight and can reduce your chances of developing other conditions that may put a strain on your heart, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. It also reduces stress,which is a bonus for people that are easily stressed out. 

3.  Eat a heart-healthy diet

   "You are what you eat". That is a famous statement when it comes to the medical line as most of the disease is actually the product of your diet.If you watch what you eat at the early stages of life then you can prevent heart attacks.There are several type of fats of food that you need to avoid such as saturated fat and trans fat. To avoid these type of fat then most of these common food must be avoided or reduced which is red meat,coconut and palm oil,deep-fried foods and margarines. There's also a hot tip which is to avoid these kinds of food,Look at the label for the term "partially hydrogenated" at the foot content label.

4.  Watch the liquor

   
   Following a heart-healthy diet also means drinking alcohol only in moderation — no more than two drinks a day for men, and one a day for women. At that moderate level, alcohol can have a protective effect on your heart. More than that becomes a health hazard.This tip is especially useful for people who drink liquor and practice that habit after every meal.

5. Be vigilant

   There is no such thing as being "too careful" when it comes to taking care of your health because your body is so fragile. High blood pressure and high cholesterol can damage your heart and blood vessels and can cause heart attacks. But without testing for them, you probably won't know whether you have these conditions. Regular screening can tell you what your numbers are and whether you need to take action. Adults should have their cholesterol measured at least once every five years starting at age 20. You may need more frequent testing if your numbers aren't optimal or if you have other risk factors for heart disease. Some children may need their blood cholesterol tested if they have a strong family history of heart disease. So constant visits to the hospital for screenings is much advised.

SO LET'S KEEP OUR HEART BEATING TO THE BEAT OF DRUMS AND STAY HEALTHY ALWAYS PEOPLE!! :)
