MOST HEART ATTACKS ARE CAUSED BY A BLOOD CLOT THAT BLOCKS ONE OF THE CORONARY ARTERIES. IF THE BOOD FLOW IS BLOCKED, THE HEART IS STARVED OF OXYGEN AND HEART CELLS DIE. BESIDES, A HARD SUBSTANCE CALLED PLAQUE CAN BUILD UP IN THE WALLS OF THE CORONARY ARTERIES. THIS PLAQUE IS MADE UP OF CHOLESTEROL AND OTHER CELLS. A HEART
ATTACK CAN OCCUR AS A RESULT OF PLAQYE BUILDUP.
HOW TO PREVENT IT?
FOLLOWING A HEALTHY DIET IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF A HEART HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. A HEALTHY DIET INCLUDES A VARIETY OF FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND WHOLE GRAINS. IT ALSO INCLUDES LEAN MEATS, POULTRY, FISH, BEANS AND FAT-FREE OR LOW-FAT MILK OR MILK PRODUCTS. A HEALTHY DIET IS LOW IN SATURATED FAT, TRANS FAT, CHOLESTEROL, SODIUM (SALT) AND ADDED SUGARS.
IF YOU'RE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE, WORK WITH YOUR DOCTOR TO CREATE A REASONABLE WEIGHT-LOSS PLAN THAT INVOLVES DIET AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. CONTROLLING YOUR WEIGHT HELPS YOU CONTROL RISK FACTORS FOR HEART ATTACK. BE AS PHYSICAL ACTIVE AS YOU CAN. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAN IMPROVE YOUR FITNESS LEVEL AND YOUR HEALTH.
IF YOU SMOKE, QUIT. SMOKING CAN RAISE YOUR RISK OF HEART ATTACK. TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT PROGRAMS AND PRODUCTS THAT CAN HELP YOU
QUIT. ALSO, TRY TO AVOID SECONDHAND SMOKE.
SO, ANY DOUBT?
IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD OR ASK, PLEASE DO IT HERE STRAIGHT AWAY.
SEE YOU SOON...HAVE A HEALTHY LIFE....
