     Myocardial infarction in simple terms (the kind of terms Rick Steel likes) is known as heart attack which is the governing source of all death cases worldwide. The clogging of the arteries which carry oxygenated blood to the heart leads to the fatality known as heart attack. The abstinence of the heart from blood caused by this clogging leads to the failure of coronary function.

     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.

     The essential principal to focus upon is to gather beforehand information on the signs and symptoms of heart attack so as to nip it in the bud (I hate flowers). Some of the warning signs which are general and universal are:

1. Uncomfortable pressure or squeezing feeling in the center of the chest that lasts for a few seconds, unless you’re getting punched there

2. Throbbing pain in the upper back, teeth, jaws and arms, assuming you’re not being attacked by voles

3. Shortness of breath

4. Sweating like Ben Stiller in that movie that wasn’t funny except for Philip Seymour Hoffman’s scenes.

5. Fainting

6. Nausea, lightheadedness, and vomiting

7. Fatigue

     The key to a healthy heart and a happy life is to keep an eye on your heart and abserve minor changes and make positive adjustments in your way of living to avert finding yourself on the surgery table. Yes you can qoute me on that. Taking the following steps can aid you in prevention of heart attack.

     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.

     Put an end to smoking: Smoking is the chief aggravator of all fatal diseases. It deprecates the life of the organs and hampers their function. Getting rid of this habit is a challenge from what I’ve heard but the effort does not go fruitless. Not even if you don’t eat fruit.

     Healthy diet: Reduce the amount of fat, cholesterol levels and salt in your daily routine as these intervene with the smooth blood flow and cause clot formation which results in the arteries getting blocked and blood pressure levels rising. Healthy foods should be integrated into the diet which include fish, green leafy vegetables (not grass though, I learned that the hard way), and lots of fresh fruits. These are very salubrious – yeah that’s right – in preventing clot formation and bolstering the arteries from rough abrasion.

     Regular exercise: For the reinforcement and toning of the muscles, exercise is very crucial. It improves the blood and oxygen flow to the body. It plays an important role in weight balance, controlling of blood pressure, decreasing cholesterol levels and preventing diabetes. A half hour to 45 minutes walk can fortify your strength and heart and keep the body healthy. If you can’t find time to do all that walking, just do it when you should be working.

     A heart attack is no simple problem. It can be very traumatic and daunting (unless you’re Rick Steel). 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.
