1. Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.

2. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.

3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.

4. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far.

5. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

6. HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

7. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

8. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

9. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!

10. If everyone who gets this health info send it to 10 people, you can bet that we’ll save at least one life.
Please SHARE THIS VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE WITH EVERYONE!!

There is nothing so wonderful like healthy diet.It saves you the money and time that would have been spent on drugs,hospitalization, surgery and sobon.

Exactly.
Healthy, balanced diet has always been a key ingredient of good health.

Heart disease is a leading cause of death, but it's not inevitable. While you can't change some risk factors such as family history, sex or age, there are many ways you can reduce your risk of heart disease.

When you're aware of both what you can be doing and what you should stop doing to preserve the health of your heart, you are taking control over the quality and the length of your life. The following are ways you can reduce your risks of heart failure:

1) Eat A Heart-healthy diet :
A heart-healthy eating plan includes: an abundance of fruits and vegetables, lean meat and fish rich in omega-3 fats such as salmon fish, high-fibre whole grains such as wheat, oatmeal, etc.

2) Cut Back on Salt : High levels of sodium in the diet can cause accumulation of fluid in the body that consequently puts excess stress on the cardiovascular system. Also, limit your intake of sugar, alcohol, fries, red meat, processed foods

3) Maintain A Healthy Weight : Extra pounds can interfere with blood circulation and put excess pressure and stress on the heart. Aim for a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 24.9. And pay particular attention to belly fat, which can increase your risk of heart disease even more than fat on other parts of your body.

4) Don't smoke or use tobacco product : Cigarette smoke reduces the oxygen in your blood, which increases your blood pressure and heart rate because your heart has to work harder to supply enough oxygen to your body and brain. If you don't smoke you're ahead of the game. If you do smoke, quit.

5) Get active : Aim for at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking at a brisk pace or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity, such as running

6) Get good quality sleep : A lack of sleep can do more than leave you yawning; it can harm your health. People who don't get enough sleep have a higher risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, diabetes and depression.
Most adults need at least 7 hours of sleep each night.

7) Control high BP and keep cholesterol level at normal level : High BP and high cholesterol can damage your heart and blood vessels. You make a good move towards your heart health by keeping both of them at healthy range.

Healthy living is the best way to
delay or avoid many cardiovascular diseases. Take charge of your health!

Heart disorders can manifest themselves in many ways. Our bodies are sending us signals always, unfortunately, many people disregard
or fait to identify the signals in time. The following is a list of warning signals that could indicate a significant health condition.

1) Fainting : Intense physical activity, dehydration, pain, can cause loss of consciousness. There are a variety of causes, but it could also be a sign of cardiac disease. This is frequently linked to a drop in blood pressure which causes a lack of oxygen in the blood, resulting in fainting.

2) Irregular Heartbeat : Palpitations can be caused by a variety of factors. It's usually caused by a burst of adrenaline or a shift in attitude. Anyone who notices that his/her heartbeat is becoming increasingly irregular should seek medical attention immediately.

3) Persistent Coughing : Many people may not take this seriously, but coughing for an extended period of time can suggest heart trouble. When the heart has problems delivering blood to the rest of the body, it might end up in the lungs, causing a chronic cough. If your cough gets worse when you lie down at night, it could be an indication of heart trouble.

4) Shortness Of Breath : If your airways and cardiovascular system aren't working together properly, it could be an indication of a cardiac problem that's already happening or is about to happen.

5) Chest Pain : One of the traditonal warning indicators of heart disease or a heart attack is chest pain. If the pain is accompanied by difficulties breathing, you should proceed with extreme caution. It is advised to go the emergency department right away if the pain occurs suddenly and without notice.

6) Pain in the toes : Pain in the toes when you're resting or it's not due to tight shoes or injury, you should figure out what's causing it. Aortillac occultic disease might also cause this. The best thing is to talk to your doctor about your symptoms and rule out a cardiac condition.
Treating a health condition in a timely manner is the best option.
