Hope this blog is giving you the good use full information . In recent time i heard so many people at their early 30s died with heart attacks, which motivated me to write some thing which is use full for people, so i started studying why it is happening, there may be different reasons, few of them might be.
> Lacl of proper awareness about nutritional needs with the rapid change of the work as well as out side environment.
> Lack of knowledge about what are the causes of heart attack and how to prevent it.
So to increase the awareness about this i thought of gathering some information, i did that i am sharing that with you in the below article.
Heart attack and stroke are two common types of heart disease. Your doctor may also call them cardiovascular diseases ( this is one type of cardiovascular disease, As per journal of medical association (JAMA) reports in abiqut intake of vitamins will cause cardiovascular diseases so they recommend to take Daily does of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients in 2002) . Both conditions can happen when blood can't flow through your blood vessels because they are narrowed or blocked.
Keeping your blood vessels healthy can help you reduce your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Your doctor/nutrition specialist can help you set goals and keep an eye on your progress. Even if you've already had a heart attack or stroke, it's not too late to improve your health and prevent future damage.
Know your Risk:
Your risk of a heart attack or stroke increases if you :
- have high blood pressure
- Have high Cholesterol
- Have a family history of heart attack, stroke or heart disease.
- have had a heart attack or stroke.
- have peripheral artery disease(PAD)
- are overweight or obese
- have diabetes
- smoke
- don't exercise
Inside your arteries :
Arteries are a type of blood vessel. Healthy arteries are flexible, strong and smooth on the inside. Blood flows freely through them from your heart to other parts of your body. Over time, high blood pressure and other risk factors, like smoking, can damage your artery walls and cause them to harden, thicken and become less flexible. This is called arteriosclerosis.
Plaque, Which is mostly made up of cholesterol and fats, can then build up on the damaged walls of an artery. This is called atherosclerosis. As plaque builds, the artery narrows and restricts blood flow.
Eventually, the plaque can rupture, or crack. If this happens, a clot can form.
If a clot blocks blood flow to your heart, you may have a heart attack. If a clot blocks blood flow to your brain, you may have a stroke.
Warning Signs : Symptoms of a heart attack or stroke are not the same for every one. Also, signs of a second heart attack or stroke may be different from those you had the first time.

Try to make exercise part of your routine, vary your workouts to keep it interesting, and fix exercise into every day activities. If you've had trouble sticking to an exercise plan in the past, choose activities that your enjoy and ask friends and family to join you. If you miss a day, don't be discouraged. Just start again that next day.

Quit smoking: If your smoke, you can double your risk of developing heart disease. But, after just 24hr of quitting, your risk goes down. After one year risk is half that of a smoker. If you've tried unsuccessfully to quit in the past, talk to your doctor about options that can help you.
Avoid excessive alcohol use : Limit your alcohol intake to one drink per day for women and two for men. One drink is equal to 12oz. of beer, 4 oz. of wine, or 1.5oz. of 80-proof liquor. this is for the people who take alcohol but not for the people who don't take it.
Reduce stress : Long term high stress can contribute to heart disease. Take steps to reduce stress in your life, and consider practicing relaxation techniques, such as yoga, meditation or deep breathing exercises. Also food/supplements with high B-complex also will help you to put your stress levels at low.
