Heart Attack Prevention Unveiled: Your Ultimate Guide to Cardiovascular Wellness
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the world taking the lives of nearly 610,000 people every year.
Additionally, 735,000 people have a heart attack every year. While some of these devastating numbers are the result of genetics, such as race and ethnicity, there are also
controllable factors that increase one's risk of
developing heart disease, such as obesity, high
blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
By making smart lifestyle choices, anyone can
reduce his or her risk of having a heart attack.
Consider the following suggestions below:
Be Physically Active
Regular physical activeness is critical for overall wellness. If you're not accustomed to exercising on a regular basis, you can still benefit by starting small. Start by adding 10 minutes of cardiovascular activity to your
daily schedule, and increase your workout time as it becomes easier.
Reduce Your Stress
You know that reducing your stress levels is key for overall mental wellness. But did you know that too much stress can induce a heart attack? Hormones released during stressful times can trigger one, according to Dr Alan Greenberg, MD
Follow A Plant Based Diet
By making smarter food choices, you can
fuel your body to work optimally, reducing your chance of becoming obese, or developing
diabetes or high blood pressure – all factors that can trigger a heart attack. Instead of eating processed meats, diary food and other refined foods that clogs our arteries with fat,
switch to a plant based diet.
A whole food, plant-based diet can prevent and treat heart disease, saving hundreds of thousands of Americans every year,"
