- Unusual Fatigue
If you are constantly tired without any evident reason, and if you also experience some of the symptoms above, you should definitely visit your doctor.
However, you can take some preventative measures which can help you lower the risk of a heart attack:
- Eat healthy foods
You should focus on fruits and vegetables, especially garlic, as it lowers blood pressure. Also, the increased risk of a heart attack is often linked to inflammation, so you should also consume Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, which has potent anti-inflammatory properties which lower the accumulation of plaque in the arteries.
- Reduce the Sugar intake
The excessive consumption of sugar negatively affects the body, reduces good cholesterol and increases triglycerides, thus raising the chances of experiencing a heart attack.
- Take Supplements
To dilate the arteries, and help the flow of blood, you should take fish oil. Also, vitamin C prevents damage of the arteries, while vitamin K protects against calcification (hardening of the arteries), which might be another cause of a heart attack.
- Exercise
The strenuous daily activity might raise the risk of a heart attack, but moderate exercise reduces the risk of heart attack.
Yet, always remember not to wait in case you suspect you are having a heart attack. Instead, you should immediately call 911 and get to a hospital. The following video gives more information about heart attacks in women:
