Some Healthy Heart Tips
I'm still enjoying what native Floridians describe as "cool weather." That would be when the temperature is in the 70's. In Long Island, where I have spent a good portion of my life, that is a heat wave of monstrous proportions this time of year. Here when it is in the 70's I am peeling things off, and this time in Long Island I am always putting things on.
A friend of mine who's a former chef once said to me, "If you like warm weather, get a job in a kitchen. If you really want to burn up, work in a busy kitchen."
I had the fun experience of walking by a broiler one day and I can assure you my friend wasn't kidding. That broiler in particular ran at 850 degrees. Great for steak, not so much for people working within ten feet.
Moving along to medicine, here are your healthy heart tips for the day.
1. Heart attacks don't just happen when you're 65 or older - not that I'm considering that to be old, lately. In fact the demographic is getting younger and younger. Women aren't safe either - breast cancer has now taken second place to heart disease for the most common cause of death.
2. Nutrition is very important. That whole "eat the rainbow" thing is actually good advice. Vegetables and fruits come in lots of different colors. Brighter colors mean more anti-oxidants.
3. If you're past the age of thirty-five and experience some E.D., you might have some artery blockage. Have a cardiologist check this out immediately. Don't wait for a yearly physical.
One of the best habits for your heart is to take enteric coated pharmaceutical grade fish oil. Even doctors are understanding this.
The National Institute For Health and Clinical Excellence now advises doctors to provide fish oil for patients that have suffered heart attacks. The Institute believes that if doctors follow their advice, their patients will be at lower risk of suffering further heart attacks.
That's good advice, but it's after the fact, and what is called post heart attack treatment. Patients need to get on fish oil early, in order to help prevent cardiac events.
An article in my newspaper this morning mentioned a professional baseball player who took fish oil for his aching joints. The result? He's coming back to play much earlier than expected.
In the Institute study I mentioned earlier, omega-3 fatty acids cut the incidence of recurring sudden death by heart attack 45%.
Now, why wait until you've already had a heart attack? - 17274
