Heart Attack

How Someone Over the Age Of 60 Can Reduce Their Risk of A Heart Attack

Part Ways With Smoking

Smoking floods nicotine into your system. Before you know it, this chemical will pile in your arteries, forming a plaque. Arteries narrowed by plaque cannot properly supply blood to the heart muscle, increasing the risk of a heart attack.

Engage in Regular Physical Activity

Regular physical activities open the arteries, encouraging proper blood flow to the heart muscle. Exercise also lowers blood pressure, regulates blood, and maintains healthy cholesterol levels. All these are fundamental aspects of a healthy heart.

Eat well-Balanced Meal

Well-balanced meals prevent the formation of blood clots and the buildup of plaque in your arteries. They also help maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of a heart attack.

Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
