GOOD HEART
HEART DISEASE:
Here we will discuss about coronary artery diseases and it’s prevention.
There are about a dozen risk factors but the most important one is the Genetic factor.
Other risk factors may contribute but if your parents lived beyond 75 years with out a heart attack then you are lucky. They might not have kept millions off dollars for you but a good gene is worth trillion as you can live and enjoy a good life with proper life style activities. No one knows if the modern interventions really prolong life or prevent heart attacks.
Once you go to a cardiologist you will be under stress because he will tell you “you are sitting on a time bomb” or “you are on a volcano” you are lucky that you came in time.” Once you fall in to the trap and opt for a bypass or angioplasty then hope for the best. The most important thing most people forget is when they did not have the heart attack they had a dam care attitude to smoking, alcohol, food and stress. But once they had the surgery ,majority become over cautious and lose weight, stop alcohol, turn vegetarian, stop smoking and get hen pecked. I think it’s the change in life style which helps them to lead a better life than the $50000 spent on the operation.
My sincere advice to young people is to keep the waist circumference at 35 to 40 inches depending on the built and weight as per standard chart. Sleep 6 to 7 hours a day, eat in moderation, do walk for 4 to 5 kilometers a day, no smoking, avoid rich and oily food, do not eat if you do not feel like eating. No breakfast on holidays, but take an early lunch. With a good gene you need not have to bother about your heart ,if you follow these simple rules. The body is yours and you are the best person to know if your system needs help or not. For trivial problems do not go to a cardiologist, you may land up paying thousands for nothing. Remember a super specialist sees the person through a tubular vision and does all types of test to prove his point “that you need some intervention”.

You may think of concluding like this " once the car engine is opened by even the authorized service stations for repairing the original sound and smoothness is never restored-same is true when any intervention is made in our body"
