Warning signs for strocke!
Many people continue to believe that heart attacks represent a problem targeting solely older men, yet heart disease is the number one killer of both women and men in the United States. The difference is that among men, the risk for heart attack increases steadily after 45 years of age. In women, the risk increases after 50 years of age. However, younger women and men can also have heart attacks, and the current epidemic of obesity and inactivity among our nation’s youth will likely shift the risk toward occurrence at younger ages over the next one to two decades.

Can you get pregnant if you have rheumatic heart disease?
Rheumatic heart disease is a condition, which is associated with damage to one or more heart valves. Even though the incidence of rheumatic heart disease has decreased, it is still the commonest form of heart disease that complicates pregnancy in India.
Normal pregnancy raises the demand on your blood circulation. Your heart works harder during pregnancy as it pumps more blood than normal to meet your baby's needs. Your heart beats faster and your blood pressure decreases. If you have an underlying heart disease and are pregnant, the demand on your blood circulation increases markedly. The progress of your pregnancy depends on how well your heart works.

The food for heart disease
The heart is the organ that pumps blood, with its life-giving oxygen and nutrients, to all tissues of the body. If the pumping action of the heart becomes inefficient, vital organs like the brain and kidneys suffer. And if the heart stops working altogether, death occurs within minutes. Life itself is completely dependent on the efficient operation of the heart. For heart disease the research suggests that the following foods are appropriate and perhaps helpful to eat.
