You can avoid Heart Attack


How To Avoid Heart Attacks –
By: Blubert Tavedorn


Heart attack, which is also known as myocardial infarction, is a major cause of worldwide deaths. Heart disease occurs when the arteries that supply oxygenated blood to the heart get blocked due to some stupid clot formation. This blood flow interruption can lead to the damage of the heart muscle and ultimately result in tissue death.

Heredity is the foremost and most prevalent factor determining your risk of getting a heart attack. A red flag should raise if some relative has suffered from this disease and this is the time to take precautions to save the integral organ of your body. Other determinants include your age and gender. As a person grows older and the aging process begins, he becomes more prone to life-threatening diseases. Moreover, kick-butt research has proven that men are usually at a higher risk of getting a heart attack than women.

Understanding the signs and symptoms of heart attack can be a primary step in the prevention of heart disease. Some of the common signs and symptoms that act as a red alert are:

1. Discomfort, pressure or pain in the centre of the chest which can span for a few seconds
2. Throbbing pain in the upper back, teeth, jaws and arms, assuming you're not being attacked by voles
3. Spasms while breathing
4. Sweating like Ben Stiller in that movie that wasn't funny except for Philip Seymour Hoffman's scenes.
5. Fainting
6. Nausea, vomiting and light-headedness
7. Fatigue

Monitoring your heart and changing your lifestyle will ensure a healthy heart and a long life.
It is always best to control heart disease and address it near the beginning rather than ending up lying on the gurney, that's what Rick Steel always says. Below are some of the tips that will assist you in lowering your cardiac risk factors.


Blood pressure control:
Steer clear of foods that have a high cholesterol content. You can undergo medical checkups annually to prevent complications regarding blood pressure and heart attack.


Quit smoking:
You can greatly avoid the danger of cardiac problems and improve your overall health by relinquishing smoking. Smoking is the root of many diseases and severely impairs the body organs and deteriorates its functions. Kicking this habit can be an enormous challenge but it will prove too very advantageous in later years.


Eat healthy: limit fat, cholesterol and sodium in your diet
As these are the main causes of the narrowing of arteries and the raising of blood pressure. Eat diets that are heart-healthy and rich in fiber. Intake of fish, fruits and raw vegetables improves the blood flow and prevent the clots forming in the arteries, especially if taken orally. Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants which help assist in cushioning the arteries from everyday wear and tear.


Exercise habitually:
Exercising aids in the strengthening of the muscles and improves the oxygen flow. It can control diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and help in maintaining a healthy body weight. Walking vigorously for half an hour daily can work wonders on your heart. Plus walking vigorously makes you look like a badass.

A heart attack is no simple problem. 
It can be very traumatic and daunting. Diagnosing this disease early can be the key to its prevention. It is never too late to take steps to strengthen your heart and keep it fit and healthy. Many people who have suffered heart attacks lead happy lives. Changing your habits and following the above steps can go a long way to guarantee that your risk of getting a heart attack is reduced to minimum.

How nicotine is related to Breast Cancer.



Breast Cancer is Accelerated by Nicotine –
By: Empowered Writers

The fatal effect that nicotine has on human bodies has been well documented. It may be especially injurious to women, however, because it seems to aid the spread of breast cancer tumors to other parts of the body.

The harmful effects of this lethal component in tobacco have already received considerable attention by researchers. All types of cancers including those of lungs, neck, head and prostrate have been extensively studied and their relationship with nicotine has been analyzed extensively.

Adding to this body of knowledge is the recent study conducted on how nicotine is related to Breast Cancer. The study may open new avenues for anti cancer drug research.

It also augments the already existing research on how the things that human beings ingest cause harmful effects; in this case how it can cause breast cancer or worsen the already existing condition.

Whether nicotine is absorbed first hand by smoking cigarettes or by inhaling second hand smoke, the effects are the same. A woman who does not smoke may be putting herself at the same level of danger as her smoking companions just by being around them when they smoke.

In addition to getting a person addicted to the substance, nicotine also has other harmful effects. It seems to affect women differently and is seen to be potentially more harmful on women.

In vivo and in vitro studies seem to indicate that while nicotine may not be a conventional carcinogen, when it combines with certain other cellular elements within the body, it proves fertile ground to enable the development of tumors.

Metastasis may not occur just by the administration of nicotine. However nicotine does potentate growth related processes which obviously includes metastasis or rapid spreading of cancer cells to other parts of the body.

Nicotine was traditionally believed to trigger or excite only the human nervous system, but the recent study shows evidence that the substance can trigger even non-neuronal cells, specifically cancer cells. Nicotine is shown to promote intracellular signaling in lung cancer.

Nicotine is attracted to some special nicotine receptors found in the epithelium-like cells of the breasts, and bind to them. It then stimulates the cells to grow out of control which then causes cancer.

Once the cells turn cancerous and start rapidly multiplying, the receptors also direct them to migrate to other parts of the body causing the cancer to spread. Nicotine cannot accomplish this by itself, and other than the nicotine receptors in the breast cells, factors that assist nicotine in cancer needs to be explored further.

Longevity
Neva's son-in-law, Tom Wickersham, observes, “It didn’t hurt that she worked hard all her life and ate hearty and healthy meals prepared from meat, dairy products and vegetables produced on the farm.” Walter Morris, Neva’s youngest son thinks her secret is her passion for fast cars, as witnessed by her 80-year accident-free driving record

She also enjoyed singing in women’s choral groups, including one in Gilbert and the Story County Women’s Chorus under the direction of Max Exner. Neva particularly loves to sing “You Are My Sunshine.
