7 Natural Cures That Will Reduce Your Heart Attack Risk!
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
One of the main causes of heart attack and strokes are clots in your arteries that block or restrict your blood flow to your heart and brain.
What causes a heart attack? See this video for a simple, logical explanation.
But take heart, as the “old people” used to say prevention is better than cure.
By making simple changes and /or additions to your diet you can prevent clots from forming in the 1st place.
These 7 natural cures are:
1) Omega-3 fatty acids, you’ll) find it naturally in “organic” beef, “wild” fish, flaxseed, flaxseed-oil, walnuts
and walnut oil.
2) Vitamin D, you’ll find it in cod liver oil, especially if you’ve got a family history.
3) Gingko, make sure you take the correct amount, usually around 40 to 80 milligrams 2 to 3 times a day.
4) Niacin, it is best to use a time-release formula.
5) L-arginine, this amino acid dilates your arteries which promotes blood flow.
6) Nattokinase, known as a natural clot destroyer, this enzyme literally eats the clot up.
7) Exercise, yes I know it is not a supplement but it might as well be. There are so many positive results from exercise it might as well me a medication.
It is very important to keep tabs on your heart health, especially if you’re under a lot of stress and have a family history of heart disease. Recent studies confirm that one of the major heart attack triggers is emotional stress e.g. losing a family member, your house, financial disasters, etc.

Hi,
I’m so glad you shared this information.
My best friend discovered he has high cholesterol and his family has a history of heart disease.
Recently his heart has been beating fast, occasionally a pain in his heart.
I have been searching for answers through the web but found none as informative.
I will share this information with him. Hope this will help prevent a heart attack.
Thanks!

As an old Coronary Critical Care nurse, and wife of a heart patient, I feel it is important to add stress reduction/stress management techniques to your great list.
Some patients have benefitted greatly from biofeedback training, hypnosis and acupuncture as methods for short-circuiting the learned stress response that increases the liklihood of angina, or a full-blown heart attack.
Too often heart patients don’t realize that letting their emotions control them puts them at MUCH GREATER RISK!
Exercise is so often overlooked, but as you rightly say it has so many benefits:
Helps you to lose weight,
Lowers Cholesterol
Helps to strengthen you heart muscle
Helps with your stress levels
You don’t even have to join a gym or make any special effort - just put more effort into what you do on a day to day basis. Walk a bit faster, move more vigorously, and you will be doinwonders for your heart health.

Great site and helpful information, thanks!
I would strongly recommend Nattokinase. I’ve been taking it for about 2 years now. It has an acquired taste though, but you’ll like it eventually.
