Nowadays you often hear that someone died while dancing or someone fell while talking. These people either die of a heart attack or cardiac arrest. The biggest reason behind all this is that their arteries get blocked by plaque due to which blood does not reach the heart and due to this there is a lack of oxygen in the body and if medical help is not received immediately then the person dies. The way to avoid all these situations is that you do not let such a situation arise. Bad cholesterol is a big enemy of this. Do not let it increase in the body.
7 tips to clear heart artery blockage and avoid cardiac arrests
- Healthy diet – heart attack or cardiac arrest occurs due to cholesterol or plaque sticking to the arteries and blocking the arteries due to this. The biggest reason behind the increase in cholesterol is an unhealthy diet. So from today stop unhealthy diet i.e. eating processed and packaged food from outside and instead eat fresh homemade food which includes green leafy vegetables, pulses, whole grains, fresh fruits, eggs, fish, almonds, seeds etc.
