Health is Wealth

Prevent Early Deaths from Heart Attack/Strokes

Many of those who are subject of this obituaries may have died of heart diseases.  But these could be prevented. Some of them might still be around if only....

The number one cause of death in the US and PHL is cardio vascular disease.( There are countries and societies though where there are no heart attacks)  I recently saw a free video by Dr. Chaucey Crandall, who himself had a heart attack on how to prevent such attack:

The two major causes in the US are: (degenerative diseases and HD have become an epidemic in the US because of ...)

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 bad cholesterol

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