Health Tips On What To Do When Suffering A Hearth Attack

When emergency actions can you take if you are suffering a hearth attack and you are alone? Without immediate medical assistance, most people have very little time to react. If you find yourself in this situation and you have access to a telephone, immediately dial 911 and then try intentionally coughing deeply and vigorously. Before each cough, take a deep breath, and continue coughing about every two seconds until emergency help arrives. Deep breaths send oxygen to the lungs, and the sharp movements of the rib cage from coughing squeeze the heart muscle to help keep blood circulating. Even if the pain subsides and your heartbeat returns to what seems normal, you still must follow up with a medical professional to determine what treatment and lifestyle changes you require to maintain or improve your health.

Health Tips On Alkaline Food To Prevent Heart Disease (Part 1)

Keep your body’s chemistry alkaline. Alkaline-producing foods, which include most fruits and vegetables, leave a digested ash where most of the elements that are beneficial – calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium - are positively charged ions. The residual ash of acid-producing goods, such as diary products, grains (including wheat), meats and sweets, contains a greater number of negatively charged ions, including chlorine, iodine and phosphorous. Infectious viruses live better in a acidic environment than in alkaline environment. People who keep their bodies in a predominantly alkaline state also have a reduced risk of developing degenerative and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, cancer and heart disease.

A simple but highly effective way to help keep your body chemistry alkaline is to squeeze the juice of one-half of a ripe lemon in a glass of water upon rising in the morning. Sip the drink slowly while going through your morning routine. Throughout the day, for lunch, midday snacks and dinner, keep your body chemistry balanced by eating and drinking alkaline-forming foods and juices. Doing so will help prevent colds, flu, and other infectious diseases, as well as degenerative and inflammatory conditions.

Health Tips On Food To Prevent Heart Disease

The factors in heart attack are numerous and include smoking and tobacco use, alcohol consumption, chronic dehydration, poor diet, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, lack of exercise, and stress.

Beginning with food, a major step toward helping to prevent heart attacks, hardening of the arteries and a wide variety of other blood-vessel diseases is to cut out animal fats and foods fried in animal fats from your diet. On the other hand, lean red meats, especially if not overcooked, can actually be beneficial in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, as they contain many essential nutrients that are not as widely available in other foods. It’s better to bake, broil, or steam your foods and always avoid overcooking. Another essential element to keep your body in good health is to keep your body chemistry alkaline which I will be posting some health tips in the next post.
