How to prevent a heart attack

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world after 35 years. Within these, acute myocardial infarction occupies a prominent place.

We offer advice to the principal, since childhood, can prevent this serious problem.

- Childhood obesity for example, must be treated with equal or greater concern than in adults. Like them, is also seeing children in cases of Type II diabetes, cholesterol and hypertension. Not corrected them in due course, there will be havoc on the future of small.
Today we are facing a global epidemic of obesity, and people have not taken a real awareness about the seriousness of this matter.
With the proper treatment of obesity, most of the time everything is normalized, while not necessary to continue with many of the medications.

- Hypertension is another important point. Eating a healthy and proper diets in which the predominant vegetable and fruits, milk, lean red or white meat, water, and the practice of aerobic exercise (such as walking, swimming or biking), favored treatment asymptomatic disease.

- Diabetes. We refer to the non-insulin dependent diabetes, or adult, which we began to see from the approximately 50 years of age, and also associated with obesity.
The pancreas is an organ that secretes a hormone called insulin, to which among other things, encourages the entry of carbohydrates to the body's cells. But the capital of insulin that owns the pancreas is not infinite and over time can manifest itself with impaired fasting glycemia, helping to determine a state of pre-diabetes or insulin resistance.
This is due to make a proper diet and of course, exercise.

- Cholesterol. The high cholesterol levels, is without doubt one of the most terrible risk factors. Such as diabetes, but is seen in obese patients, can also be seen in patients with normal weight or thin people on. Here is a basic diet low in fat and physical exercise, in addition to the medication which, of course, provide the doctor.

- Smoking is another factor contributing to this problem. Smoking causes repeated increases in blood pressure. Nicotine is vasoconstriction and adrenergic stimulant.
Carbon monoxide causes endothelial dysfunction (this is in the inner layer of the arteries) smoking antagonisa the therapeutic effect of some antihypertensive drugs.

The exercise improves the cardiovascular system

Cardiovascular system
The cardiovascular system is composed of the heart and arteries and veins entering and leaving him. The exercise practiced regularly, helps prevent diseases of the heart arteries, which are capable of producing angina or myocardial infarction.

Of course, exercise helps strengthen the heart and strength to get a bigger and better physical shape. The exercise, done to decrease fat and lipids in the blood, preventing the accumulation of these substances in the arteries and, hence, the risk of obstruction of them.

The exercise also has a positive role with respect to hypertension, as people physically active better regulate his blood pressure and maintain, in general, normal levels.

Congestion muscle


"Congestion Muscular" is what you feel in the muscle when it placed under constant tension.
This comes when you stretch the muscle and contracted by a high number of repetitions. When muscles are congested, are filled with a lot of blood, making them bigger and tight.

In the medical books, it's called hiperremia.
This happens because while these lifting and lowering a weight (stretching and shrinking) the body begins to mandar blood across the arteries and veins to the muscle.
However, such as doing several repetitions, one after the other, those sending more and more blood to the muscle, resulting in that is filled.

Some of the ways to increase the size of muscle is to make the muscle fibers that make up engrandezca, and this is achieved by increasing labile, which are "temporary proteins." The # 1 way to achieve this is to overload the muscle with blood.
