4 Subtle Yet Deadly Warning Signs of Heart Attack We Shouldn’t Ignore

How to Prevent a Heart Attack

As mentioned above, a heart disease is classified as a non-communicable disease or lifestyle disease. Therefore, preventing it depends on how we live or choices we make in terms of food intake, job, community, and the environment.

Basically, for all age groups, we just need to do the following:

• Exercise – like 30-minute walking is sufficient. According to centenarians, be physically active like creating a routine that can suffice as “healthy living.”
• Healthy eating – when doctors say “healthy eating” they only mean, we can eat everything IN MODERATION. (Even them doctors eat McDonald’s or Jollibee’s Chickenjoy, too!)
• Quit smoking and drink moderately.
• Be diligent with your yearly or quarterly check-ups. Remember, prevention is better than cure.
• Change your lifestyle. If your work takes a toll on you, don’t be afraid to ask your employer for one week leave. If impossible, seek medical certificate stating you needed the rest so you can come back more productive and healthier than ever!

Ultimately, when in doubt, always seek your doctor’s advice. Self-medication is the perennial problem in the Philippines due to expensive medical assistance. At any rate, it is better to pay for something expensive than to lose the chances of being with your family and friends.

God forbid, you somehow feel these symptoms, please go to the nearest Emergency Room (ER) for help.
