Taking Care of Your Heart

Did you know that women are much more likely than men to die of a first heart attack and women under 50 are three times more likely?  Thought it was the men because in my family, it’s the men  who suffer from heart problems.  And stroke is often thought of as an old man’s disease but more women die from it due to some factors – birth control pills, hormone therapy and pregnancy.  All these three put us at risk. According to Cardiologists, heart disease starts early, with the earliest building blocks of a heart attack forming in your teens and early 20s.

And because it starts early, it is important to know the signs of a heart attack. Chest pain or discomfort is the most common symptom and it is the same for men and women. However, women are slightly more likely to have subtler warning signs: upper body pain ( in the arms, back, neck, jaw or stomach) shortness of breath, breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or vomiting, and  even the feeling of light-headedness.

For a healthier heart, the key is to start moving. Thirty minutes or more of walking at least 5 times a week will not only help you manage your weight. It can also boost your mood and get your heart working more efficiently.  It would also be best to take a supplement like Heart Savior.  This greatly helps at lowering LDL or bad cholesterol.  And it doesn’t stop there.  There’s more to it than simply lowering bad cholesterol.  The supplement helps you have a youthful heart muscle because of its Co-Q10. It also contains other ingredients to reduce inflammation of the arteries, the build up of plaque deposits in the arteries and lower C Reactive protein levels.

Start taking care of your heart now.  Get moving and consider supplementing.
