Common Sense Recommendations for Heart Attack
If you have
suffered a heart attack, or if you are considered at risk for a heart attack,
modify your diet.
Make sure your
diet is high in fiber. Not all types of fiber decrease the risk of heart attack,
however. The most beneficial fiber appears to come from whole-grain breakfast
cereals.
Eat lots of foods
that are rich in vitamins B6 and B12 and folic acid, which are needed to keep
homocysteine levels in check. Vitamins B6 and B12 come naturally from leafy
green vegetables and fruits. Folic acid can be found in some breakfast cereals,
asparagus, spinach, chickpeas, and beans.
Include almonds,
brewer's yeast, grains, and sesame seeds in your diet.
Enjoy onions
frequently. Onions-especially red onions- contain valuable antioxidants. Chop
them and allow them to stand for ten minutes before cooking for optimal benefit.
Add kelp and sea
vegetables to your diet for necessary minerals. Drink fresh vegetable juices.
Do not eat red
meat, salt, sugars, or white flour. A diet high in red meat can elevate
homocysteine levels. Eat soy- based protein foods instead. Soy protein can
effectively lower high LDL cholesterol levels.
Avoid salt,
sugars, and white flour. Refined sugars produce adverse reactions in all cells
by causing wide variations in blood sugar. The high surges are followed by
hypoglycemic drops, causing dangerous instability in vital intracellular sugar
levels.
Eliminate fried
foods, coffee, black tea, colas, and other stimulants from the diet.
Refrain from
excessive alcohol use, as it has an adverse effect on the heart.
Sip barley water throughout the day for its heating and fortifying properties.
Fast three days a
month to cleanse and detoxify the body.
To relieve stress
and promote relaxation, add a few drops of lavender, sandalwood, or ylang ylang
essential oil to a bath, or simply place a few drops on a tissue and inhale the
aroma from time to time throughout the day.
Arnica is a
homeopathic remedy used to support recovery from a heart attack.
Do not smoke.
Avoid secondhand smoke.
Start on a
sensible, moderate exercise program. Walking is good. You can do other simple
steps like joining a dance class, walking the dog, gentle yoga stretching
exercises, etc. Caution: If you are over thirty-five and/or have been sedentary
for some time, consult with your health care provider before beginning an
exercise program.
:
Take Co Q10:
Studies have shown that people who take supplemental coenzyme Ql0 following a
heart attack are less likely than those who did not to have a second attack
within five years.
Eat walnuts:
Researchers have found that eating just an ounce of walnuts a day (about seven
nuts) may reduce the risk of a heart attack by 8 to 10 percent.
Reduce your
weight if you are overweight: Obesity can result from the combination of limited
physical activity and a diet high in fat. It strains the heart.
Stress: Learn how
to manage your stress. Regular physical activity is a great way to relieve
stress. Other ways include relaxation techniques, a warm bath, and soothing
music.
High blood
pressure (hypertension): Hypertension can lead to blood vessel damage because
the heart has to work harder to pump the blood through narrowed or hardened
vessels affected by atherosclerosis. This blood vessel damage can lead to the
formation of blood clots inside the blood vessels, which can cause heart
attacks. Take steps to lower your blood pressure.
