Heart Disease First Aids

The three main initiatives to be taken by the heart disease victims

1.The weight must be normal

Compared to an average person, the risks of the heart disease is much more
in the overweight person. The victim needs to regularly check the BMI or the
Body Mass Index itself to check the abnormalities in the weight. An exercise
of about half an hour on a regular basis throughout the week is recommended.
The patient should be on a healthy diet throughout their life. Some of the
main ingredients of the diet should include the entire type of grains,
fruits and vegetables. A very fast walk in the lunch break is good.
Replacing the stairs instead of the elevator is suggested.

2.The triglyceride and the cholesterol levels need to be tested


Increase in the cholesterol levels in the blood can lead to the block of the
flow of blood in the arteries. This could make the heart not to receive any
more blood. Eventually this leads to a heart attack. A type of the fats in
the blood flow is referred to as the triglyceride. Even an increase in the
levels of triglyceride in the blood leads to a heart disease in some cases.
Till now there does not exist any symptoms to check the abnormalities in the
level of either the triglyceride or the cholesterol. Therefore it is
strictly advised to have a regular check on their levels. Consult a doctor
if there is an increase in either of their levels. The doctor can provide a
valuable prescription to decrease the level of the cholesterol or the
triglyceride.

3.Check if the patient is suffering from diabetes.

People suffering from the diabetes have a higher chance of having a heart
disease. There is high level of blood sugar or the blood glucose itself in
the diabetes patients. The high blood sugar level does not show any symptoms
in the patient.
Therefore it is wise always to regularly have a check on the blood sugar
level. On the consultation of a physician, the physician decides whether the
insulin or the pills need to be taken. The physician could also provide a
timetable for the food and the exercises.

A brief light is thrown on the three main essential steps that need to be
taken to avoid the risks of the heart diseases.
