Health is Wealth

Prevention of Deaths from Heart Attacks

Health is Wealth.  That is why my other blog is about biking.  I work very hard to stay healthy.

And I often say, what good is your accumulated assets if you are not healthy to enjoy it.

 On the other hand, health care is a big business.

The number cause of death in the US and PHL is cardio vascular disease. (There are societies where heart attacks are non existent)  I recently saw a free video by Dr. Chaucey Crandall, who himself had a heart attack on how to prevent heart attack:

The two major causes in the US are:

l.  High fat and sugar diet

2.  Inflammation.

The cause of heart disease and degenerative diseases are the same.

This is how you can lessen heart attacks/stroke:

l.  Exercise

2.  Stop smoking

3.  Lessen fat and sugar intake. Have a healthy diet.

4.  Have your good and bad cholesterol measured.  Be watchful if you have pattern B.

Heart bypass is the last resort.  Stent and angioplasty are less tramautic
