You eat two plates-full every meal, you snack on large servings of oily fries and burgers, you substitute water with soda, and you don’t want to be moving at all, much more exercise! There is only one way for you to go if this is how you’re living. You are subjecting yourself to be a candidate for a major heart disease! And it won’t take long for you to get there if you keep this up.

Unhealthy lifestyle can cost you a lot. It can even cost you your life.

Undo the damage. Doctors used to think heart disease was irreversible, but now they say it’s possible to erase past health sins. For example, researchers say good High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol can sweep away any harmful Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol you built up during your fast-food phase.
Eating is not bad as it is. But eating way more than you should is. Learn how to control yourself from bingeing. Cut back slowly on your food intake and later on, replace your diet with a more healthy one. To top this, don’t be a sloth. Move around. This will help your body burn more fats you’ve stored.

The best way to boost HDL? Regular exercise.

Ignore the “it’s a man thing” hype.

Women and some doctors still think of heart disease as just a male problem. But young women are twice as likely as young men to die after a heart attack. Why? Women may not recognize the symptoms, and don’t get immediate treatment. Remember that while men often have that classic chest pain, women may experience atypical symptoms such as back pain, burning in the chest, nausea and fatigue up to a month before an attack.

It’s best to have a regular check-up even if you’re feeling perfectly fine. At this day and age, you should never be complacent with anything especially your health. Remember that any or all heart diseases are dubbed “silent killers” because you really can’t be ready when they attack. They are like robbers in the night who take you by surprise.

To arm your self from these silent killers, be in the know. Read on books about these kinds of diseases, take down notes on their first aid management and ask your doctor about your chances of getting them and what are the best ways of preventing them, first and foremost.

Just like in anything, all men and women are equal. Heart disease isn’t an exemption.
