While there are a number of different factors that lead to heart attacks, many of which that are still largely unknown, there are a number of well known lifestyle factors that can lead to this event. Here is my very own list of the Top Ten Ways to Have a Heart Attack.
10. Smoke. Simply put, smoking is quite harmful to the health of your cardiovascular system, especially your heart. Smoking can clog your arteries, raising your blood pressure in the process. You can double your heart attack risk this way, compared to people who do not smoke.
9. Drink too much, or not enough. One drink a day, amounting to around twelve ounces of beer, five of wine or 1.5 of hard liquor can actually have a protective effect on your heart, but anything more, or less is simply not effective. In fact, if you drink too much, you can be putting your heart in serious risk because alcohol can raise your blood pressure and have other negative effects on your body.
8. Vegetate. If you do not exercise regularly, you cannot reduce stress, reduce cholesterol levels, or heal your body from issues with blood pressure or excess weight. Living a sedentary life without exercise is an excellent way to set your heart up for a heart attack.
7. Get angry. Believe it or not, simply getting angry can raise your chance of having a heart attack, making it just as dangerous as health related causes. If you frequently get angry for long periods of time, the resulting rise in blood pressure can lead to a heart attack.
6. Losing control of your cholesterol. Eating saturated fats, especially trans saturated fats, consuming too many calories, and eating foods that are not rich in nutrients can cause your cholesterol to go up, which can make you much more likely to have a heart attack in time.
5. Get stressed out. Stress is a huge factor that leads to heart disease, so getting stressed out regularly and for long periods can raise your blood pressure, and lead to heart disease and heart attacks.
4. Lose control of your blood pressure. If your blood pressure gets to be too high, your heart will have to work a lot harder to push blood through, which can cause it to enlarge, which can lead to a serious risk for heart attack later on.
3. Don’t take your health serious enough. Simply not spending enough time worrying about your health and wellness can contribute heavily to whether or not you develop heart attack symptoms. It is important that you regularly assess your health and that you pay attention to making healthy choices on a daily basis in order to keep your heart healthy.
2. Over exert yourself. Over exertion can cause the stress needed to raise your blood pressure, and by proxy, your risk of having a serious heart attack. If you have other risk factors for heart attacks, you should try not to over tax or over exert your body.
