10 Rules to Prevent Heart Attack (No one thinks of the Last One) 

choose your parents wisely

Ehmm.. Actually the newest insights about cholesterol and fats are: 1) Saturated fats have NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER on human health (they do however on rabbits). Animal fat is safe, butter and cream are safe, avocado and coconut oil (vergin, cold pressed and not refined) are safe. We progressed to humans from primates on animal fats. We got unsaturated fats from fatty fish, meat and perhaps an olijve or two only. So, besides proof from clinical experiments, this is only logic in the light of evolution. 2) The so-called "heart healthy vegetable oils", or seed oils, are highly processed, unnatural, readily oxidized products. Treated with solvents like hexane, with caustic soda, deodorized, treated at high temperatures, ALL nutrients are removed. They are NOT FOOD. Some 100 years ago companies found that they could use waste of cotton production to make industrial machine oil. Later they started to produce margarine from these oils (Crisco). Oils were "hardened" by adding hydrogen at high temperature and pressure. After some time TRANSFATS were found to be very unhealthy and processes were changed. Yet, margarine remains unhealthy. Up to this day we see advertisements for the poly unsaturated fats. ❤ The truth is, that these fats react easily with oxygen (become rancid). This happens also in e.g. your skin when you are outside on the sun. UV light, these fats in your skin and oxygen make that you BURN easily. Now you have to by sun cream, SPF 50, to avoid skin cancer. (A better alternative is taking plenty of vitamin D3, combined with vitamin K2 and magnesium. If you can afford, have your D3 tested in a blood (serum sample). Go for 50-70 ng/ml or 150-175 nmol/l.) A few years ago I banned all artificial oils from my kitchen, they ended in the trash can. Sunflower, rapeseed, soy oil, peanut oil, canola oil AND the BECEL margarine with the "super healthy" linolic fatty acid, ALL GONE. This summer has had a record of sun hours in my country. Every moment I could, I walked, sun bathed etc. This year I didn't use one drop of sun cream, and got a nice tan, absolutely no sun burn. Nada, nothing. Every few years all the cells in your body are replaced and it takes a few years to get rid of the unhealthy fats. So take your time. Oh yes.. These poly unsaturated fats that get oxidized, cause low grade chronic inflammation in your body. Together with sugars and refined carbs, this is the main cause of metabolic syndrome. Packaged processed food is not better than junk food. Prepare your own food like your great grand mother did, seriously! I think this is cause #1, together with smoking and too much alcohol.

@@RickMartinRU-vid some people just don’t enjoy social interactions in general. And that’s fine.

That’s probably true of you and quite a number of people but generally indicative of family dysfunction, poor primary relationship building in early childhood, severe bullying in childhood, personality or developmental disorder, etc. While I understand that no one wants to made to feel strange or abnormal I’m not sure it’s helpful to describe this as “fine”. I know people who have overcome serious anxiety over social interaction to ultimately develop wonderful relationships and happy families of their own. This, of course is different from simple introversion. What you describe is probably beyond introversion.

Meditate. Learn how to be less reactive

I hope you feel better.

Family, friends and money never get along

you might also be missing something or be doing too much exercise. marathon runners sometines get heart attacks bc stress the body too much

Maybe not enough fat/vit d/vitk in your diet, causing calcium to accumulate in your blood vessels.

Thank you. I had a heart attack as a 55 year old thin fit woman with moderately elevated ldl. I had a 2 percent chance. These people think they are in control. Ha. I exercised the day before my heart attack!

​@@jojonotche8917bs. There are some risk factors you cannot control like air pollution.

When it comes to exercise, the most important factor to reduce the chance of a heart attack is having a high VO2max. The highter it is, the less chances you have to get a heart problem. Dr Peter Attia has some good videos and podcasts on this subject

Agree, seems too many docs still stuck on the low fat and saturated fat diets needed for good health. Carbs way more important to limit to minimum.

God bless you!!❤

Thank you for your service. Godspeed brother

Thanks for your service James!

Thank you for your service.

Served who?

wow i have no idea what u js said

My stats : TG 420, HDL 40

@@333trr333 That's really bad considering you want to be under 2.5 and you're instead at 10.5.

Wow! Congrats. Looking forward to my own results at my next annual appointment. Only hope I can be as low as you.

@@PaulB_864, is obesity an age-related disease? It takes most people decades to become obese.

Hopefully you can get on top of your health. Adding various vitamins to your diet can also help!

Yes, you must protect your endothelial glycocalyx at all cost, for many, high blood glucose and pressure damages it. Two very interesting supplement that may help are (arterosil hp) and (endocalyx pro).

But what about your triglycerides and hdl? I hope they were good.

Thank you

Total

@@Billeye No one should be on a statin. Do web search on effectiveness.

That would be considerate, but I think if you're using different measurements it's up to you to do the conversion. Easy online in the search bar.

@@thatswhatisaidCA No, it’s part of communicating with your audience.

America is the only country still on old timey imperial measurement. The rest of the world stepped into metric in the late 60's over 50 yrs ago. So yeah, communication in cave man talk is not helpful.

Rutger Reddingius what kind of oil do you use now for cooking?

@@adrian-4767 hi Adrian, I mostly use avocado oil and grass fed butter. Then sometimes olive oil and very occasionally coconut oil, but the unrefined versions.

Excellent post dude. This demonization of Saturated Fat should end. RED MEAT HAS THE BEST AMINO ACIDS FOR THE HEART. Just the Lysine found in RED MEAT prevents heart problems and Neutralizes Lp(a). WHY DO I NEVER HEAR A DOCTOR MENTION Lp(a)??????????????? And some people are not gonna accept this: but the moment I started a CARNIVORE DIET my Triglycerides crashed to 75 mg/dl. and my HDL sky rocketed.

Agree. Humans have evolved to eat saturated fat as the primary fuel source for hundreds of thousands of years. In extremes of the northern hemisphere plants do not even grow for 8+ months of the year. That means zero carbs, fiber or sugar was consumed for vast periods. Humans have developed multiple systems for digesting and extracting nutrients from saturated fat. Blaming saturated far for heart attacks defies basic common sense.

Well said.

Our human ancestors, for thousands of years, lived nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle dependent on hunting meat and foraging scrub for survival.

I was on that statin for two weeks. My brain was foggy, my legs felt like spaghetti, my knee started aching horribly, I couldn’t keep control of my blood sugar, for me I wasn’t quite sure how they were going to make me better since high blood sugar and and inflammation cause heart attack!

God Blessas all !

You are correct - my cardiologist said getting your HDL over 40 isnt going to add years to your life. Controlling the other things will - LDL, TRI, etc...

Best is mini trampoline and enjoyable with a few light weights and walking!

150 minute workout per day is for young athletes. They mean 150 minutes per week which is very doable. I break up three 20 minutes of easy workout per session per day alternate between rower and treadmill. 10,000 steps of walking would be good but half of that is be OK for me. Need to do some lifting for bone health but no heavy free weights, too dangerous. An old guy like me should avoid HIIT. Started iFIT last week, keeping me motivated. My age group, 98% of us have a lease one form of metabolic syndrome due to American diet. Avoiding sugar including juice, seed oils, processed carbs, eat real food. Two meals a day, no breakfast so far.

Walking stimulates HDL cholesterol

@@RickMartinRU-vid For those that have taken any COVID vaxx or have had repeated COVID infections - i would advise them not to do anything that gets their heart rate too fast - even HIIT - just take longer walks at a leisurely pace , and pay attention to how hot your body feels . Too many people are having Stress Cardiomyopathy as a side effect of severe repeat covid or autoimmune response to the vaxx ( from a previous asymptomatic infection)- and this abnormal inflammation of the heart can cause severe rhythm disturbances

Please check out Dr. Ford Brewer's channel, he has some videos on this subject. Also, he has live stream every Wend at 9 AM CST.

for me, fiber did slow things down a lot for a month or two. then it "regulated" but it is still slower than the past.

​@@RickMartinRU-vidCholesterol is very important substance. You must eat it.

Many people who get a zero or low calcium score still have blockages and heart attacks. It’s smart to sup with k2 with d as it stops calcification and lower risk but calcification from low k is a smaller cause than the ones he mentions.

This is true

Yes, you are correct! A small side note.. Bioabsorbable Magnesium goes with the D3.. A supplement, or a load of dark leaf veggies...

@@knockingseeker Yes, a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score to detect hard plaque and a carotid intima-media thickness test (CIMT) to detect soft plaque.

@@lpg12338 what about ultrasounds?

thanks guys, will check

RU-vid university got many recipes..

True but I think that has more of an effect on the bowels than the heart but my guts get twisted and knot up so maybe it's just how my body responds

That is SO true. My father was the most quick tempered, aggressive, pissed off, constantly irritated and always in a bad mood - kind of person I've ever known. He dropped dead due to a heart attack only 56 yo. According to the medical literature type A - personalities (ambitious, irritated, aggressive people) are more likely to get heart attacks compared to more relaxed, positive, and happy people.

= less stress

Well what now you need veggie pills. Broccoli, Brussels give you discomfort. The world getting sicker and worse day by day

Have you tried adding various vitamins to your diet?

Follow a healthy diet, my parents both have ldl above 210, don't worry too much about it

Chewing activates nitric oxide production, that is why they say do not use mouthwash, which kills good bacteria.

Thank you

Noted!

only under specific conditions

if its arugula, kale , mint and water cress smoothie with some low sodium salt and pepper and lemon juice - id say such a smoothie is actually good since it has no added or native sugar , and the green leafy veggies are high in Vitamin K1 and Lutein and some omega 3's . The Vitamin K1 is converted to Vitamin K2 by gut flora. And the high surface area of finly ground leaf veg allows for excellent micronutrient absorption -especially lutein, sulfur compounds etc . You can also add a few drops of EV olive oil or lignan rich flaxseed oil to improve carotenoid assimilation.

thanks

@@RickMartinRU-vid I’m surprised, it’s been talked about a lot and not just cvd prevention also alzheimers dementia and 40% lower all risk mortality. Iv heard a 20 minute sauna might be better than exercise for prevention. But both sounds ideal.

@@knockingseeker I am contemplating how sauna might take some load off the kidneys, especially to extend the dialysis interval.

@@wisconsinfarmer4742 when I have eaten high protein i can smell the ammonia in my sweat and particularly feel fresher after a good sweat session compared to how I’m eating now with lower protein. Deffinately seems like it would take some of the load of the kidneys. But you would need to be extra careful with hydration, drink heaps of good quality water. I would think that avoiding things like salt and high protein and toxins would help more than sauna for kidney health. Also certain foods and herbs like nettle leaf tea will help support them.

@@knockingseeker good thoughts. My Native American aunt has had two transplants. She does not follow good habits.

One other issue is the use of"vegetable oils or seed oils. See my remarks elsewhere in this section where I exposing the effects of these poly unsaturated fats.

@@rreddingwould like to know what foods contain unhealthy amounts of vegetable oil please.

@@dannyhernandez265 In principle most 'produced "foods" '. You can test this by reading the ingredients list. In my country a lot of sunflower and rape seed / canola oil is used. But also Arachide and others. ALL margerines are ultra processed products (not food), fabricated from vegetable oils. ALL so-called plant based "meats", like Beyond Meat are ultra-processed unhealthy products and contain these oils. You can read it in the ingredients list. So not only sugar, refined and powdered carbs, artificial sweeteners, emulators, high fructose corn syrup, invert sugar, modified starches, hydrogenated oils, and colourings, as well as de-foaming, bulking, and bleaching agents, but also your average seed oils are on the food label. Even products where you wouldn't expect vegetable oils like ready meals for the microwave, contain these fats and oils. Salad oil, frying oils, fried products like French fries, frozen French fries, salad dressing, chips, cookies and pies, ice cream. Snack bar food, fast food. Personally, I skip 90% of the supermarket isles (the mid sections). I only buy natural products, almost nothing with a barcode or ingredients list longer than, say, 4 or 5 ingredients.

Creases in the ear lobe are common in people over 60.

To convert Total cholesterol, LDL and HDL from mg/dL to mmol/L, divide the value in mg/dL by 38.67. To convert from mmol/L to mg/dL, multiply the value in mmol/L by 38.67. To convert Triglyceride values from mg/dL to mmol/L, divide the value in mg/dL by 88.57. (from internet)

I'm similar to you. Also, my weight is correct for my height, blood pressure is good, I exercise and have no heart attacks in my family. Yet my LDL is high. I have a good doctor. He told me five years ago he would have prescribed a statin. But he acknowledged that the science had changed, so no statin for me. I think most docs would have prescribed me a statin.

@spartacusnow. I have been on LCHF for the past couple of years now. My HDL chol has always been quite high, but it was interesting to watch my triglycerides simply plummet from 2 mmol/l (about 175 mg/dl) to my current 0.71 mmol/l (about 63 mg/dl)! On most days, I take 50g of carbs max or less, mostly less.

My LDL-C ok, around 3.2 mmol/l (125 mg/dl). I discarded the poison called statins in 2019; just informed my GP and went LCHF. I eat quite a lot of fish.

I was surprised too. I thought saturated fat being bad is a myth.

Good if you take care of your self, some old friends of mine❤

Did or do you keep track of your blood glucose / triglycerides? For me, that is the real culprit.

Don’t get hit by a bus and might be ok 😂

We are very similar; 42 for me - 7 years ago and 5 stents. I’m into keeping fit and used to play sports regularly; but family history and stress I think. I have improved diet- reducing sugar, mainly med diet (when looking at all studies there seems no definitive/ so I go for common denominators!…and med diet is close to that). So I’m running my 5k’s, doing body weight and dumbbell workouts and taking it a bit easier with work (as much as I can). I hope to also see my late 70’s!. I think medical advancements will help us both - new imaging allows to see inside stents for a start… so non-invasive check-ups will be easier. Good health my friend. You can buy me a pint when I’m 75😁.

Agreed diet places a massive part, plenty of other lifestyles factors that contribute to poor heart conditions.
