The most sudden deaths are caused by what?

Answer 1

Well this question can be anything! We all fight against illness, diseases, cancer, and physical deaths. The most sudden of anything, is the "Heart Attack" now we all know some people die by a heart attack, but we aren't talking about survivors here. Now what is a heart attack? Definition: A heart attack happens if the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a section of heart muscle suddenly becomes blocked. Most heart attacks occur as a result of coronary Heart disease (CHD). So that is the definition of the day. So now that you know that, how do we avoid it, in five easy steps I will tell you. 1. Know your cholesterol and keep it in check

Here's what your optimal numbers should be:

Total cholesterol: < 200

LDL-cholesterol: < 100

HDL-cholesterol: 40 or higher

Cholesterol ratio (total chol/HDL): less than 5

3. Be physically active - every day

2.Know your blood pressure and keep it in check

Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood against the walls of the arteries. Blood pressure has two readings - systolic and diastolic. The higher (systolic) number represents the pressure while the heart contracts to pump blood to the body. The lower (diastolic) number represents the pressure when the heart relaxes between beats. Blood pressure below 120/80 mmHg is considered optimal for adults.

Regular exercise helps control your weight (which in turn helps lower LDL-cholesterol and blood pressure). What's more, according to a meta-analysis published this year in the "Archives of Internal Medicine," exercise also appears to increase levels of HDL-cholesterol - that's the good cholesterol that lowers your risk for heart disease. On most days, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity (60-90 minutes to lose or maintain weight loss).

4. Minimize your middle

It's always important to maintain, or lose weight if you're overweight, by balancing physical activity with a calorie-appropriate diet. However, when it comes to heart-disease risk, research shows that where you carry fat - NOT necessarily how much fat you're carrying - markedly increases the risk of calcium and plaque buildup in the arteries of the heart. Abdominal fat - as opposed to fat around the hips - seems to trigger a chain of inflammatory activities that translates into harmful metabolic changes and plaque buildup … and ultimately heart disease. In other words, the bigger your belly is in relationship to your hips (this is known as the "waist-to-hip ratio") is a better indicator of early signs of heart disease than other common measures of overweight and obesity, such as body mass index (BMI) and height/weight charts.

Know your waist-to-hip ratio. Here's how it works:

• While standing, use a tape measure to measure your waist in inches at its smallest point OR at your navel (without holding in or pushing out your tummy).
• Next, measure your hips in inches at the widest area.
• Lastly, divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement.

For example, if your waist measures 38" and your hips measure 38" … you're 1.0.

Ideal waist-to-hip ratio:

• For men, .9 or less is considered safe.
• For women, .8 or less is considered safe.

For both men and women, 1.0 or higher is considered "at risk" for heart disease

The good news is that even small improvements prove to be beneficial. Lose an inch or two off your waist and you're already better off.

5. Eat a heart-healthy diet

Incorporate the following 5 guidelines:

• Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
• Limit saturated fat to less than 7% of calories.
• Limit sodium to less than 2,300 mg/day.
• Limit alcohol to one drink/day for women and 2 drinks/day for men.
• Eat fish rich in omega-3 fats 3 times a week (wild salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring, lake trout and Pacific oysters). So that is it for today, and I approve this answer!

Answer 2

seizures, heart attack.
