Answer 2

Count 60 seconds. Tick, tock, tick, tock. Someone just had a myocardial infarction, which is more commonly known as a heart attack. Over 50% of those people do not come out of it with their lives. Heart attacks happen when atherosclerotic plaque slowly builds up in your coronary artery, causing blood flow to get stopped. Eventually, the coronary artery will burst triggering the heart attack. Heart attacks aren't diseases. They can happen for uncontrollable reasons like old age, but most commonly happen because of preventable reasons. So how does one go about preventing a heart attack? There are many causes for heart attack, including mental reasons. Too much stress and exertion, mental or physical, can cause heart attacks. The best way to prevent heart attacks is to mange your stress. Do not let the stress in your life take over your body. Remember that every problem has a solution, just sometimes they are hard to find! Another easy prevention technique is to go on a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables. However, for the veggies/fruits to do their job we need to refuse fatty, cholesterol-rich foods. The cholesterol and fat in the junk foods help the plaque to form. Most heart attacks happen in people who spend a lot of their time on chowing down on giant, fatty, fast-food, burgers. Once in a while a reward is a great idea, but it is unhealthy to have them on a regular basis. Eating healthier will also help lower blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. It is definitely a good idea to dig out those old sneaks from behind the closet. Exercising regularly not only keeps you looking great, but also helps prevent heart attacks. To prevent heart attacks you need to take all these precautions. Sometimes, heart attacks can be heredity, which means that even if you follow all of the above prevention steps you may still have one. You should know the symptoms of a heart attack so you and your family can quickly recognize it and rush to a hospital. The quicker you are the higher the chances of survival. The most common symptom of a heart attack is intense chest pain consisting of tightness, squeezing, and pressure around that area. It is caused by ischemia, which is lack of blood and oxygen supply. The pain will spread itself to your left arm, lower jaw, neck, right arm, and the upper central area of your abdomen (epigastrium). The victim may experience shortness of breath as well. If you think you have chances of a heart attack, make sure you work out a plan with your family to rush you to the hospital as soon as possible.
