Heart Attacks Signs and Hints at Prevention
I feel it is important to find ways to help prevent Heart Attacks. Eating healthy, exercising at 30 minutes a day on average (have a good checkup and consultation with your physician first, especially if you haven’t been exercising), lowering stress with positive thinking and meditating all contribute to good health. Cooking with Waterless Cookware with lots of vegetables, lean meats, and eating these with lots of salads will help. Barbecues also will cook off the grease from your beef, pork and lamb as long as you don’t cook it well done making little frisbies of your hamburger patties.
American Heart Association has lots of good information on all of this including signs of a Heart Attack. Which are as follows:
1) Chest discomfort lasting more than a few minutes (never more than 5 minutes) Where you feel uncomfortable pressure, fullness or pain.
2) Discomfort in other areas, including pian or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
3) Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
4) Other symptoms like cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.
If any or all of thes symptoms are present or persist fro more than a few minutes (not more than 5 min.) call 911.
Eating healthy most of the time won’t keep you from at times eating fun gourmet foods once you’re on a routine. Just watch the salt and fats. Some cholesterol and fats are necessary for your metabolism but that is another topic. Cooking with Waterless cookware or barbecuing will help to promote good heart health.
