Laura Diaz Anchor said heart attack (coronary heart disease) is now not only attacks the elderly but also young people. Laura Diaz Anchor also said A heart attack is not sudden since before the attack appeared already there are signs that conveyed the body.
But these signs are often ignored. In fact, according to research from MIDAS in Milan, Italy in 2006, almost about 52 percent of patients with coronary heart disease did not experience chest pain or often referred to as silent ischemia.
Reporting from mayoclinic, Saturday (02/05/2011) coronary heart disease is a disease caused by narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries, the blood vessels that will drain blood to carry nutrients and oxygen needed to function of heart muscle to pump blood whole body.
Human heart pumps blood around the body secra constant at around 4-5 liters of blood per minute. Therefore, if blood flow is not smooth can cause damage to heart muscle that causes the heart pumps disorders (heart failure) and death.
Triggering a heart attack include excessive exercise, which spend a lot of emotional upset or other activities done to excess.
According to Dr M. Taufik Arifin Pohan, SpJP as quoted from his writings in detikHealth, at least there are 5 signs of a heart attack to watch out for:
1. Stress (load seemed to be overwritten, pain, pinched and burned), which causes shortness of breath and choking on the neck.
2. The pain may spread to the left arm, neck and back.
3. The pain can last about 15-20 minutes and occur continuously.
4. Arise in a cold sweat, weak body, heart palpitations and even fainting.
5. The pain can be reduced when it is resting, but will gain weight if you're on the move.
Some ways you can do to prevent heart attacks, such as keeping cholesterol levels of blood fats, keeping blood pressure for control, stop smoking, avoid fatty foods, replenish fruit and vegetable consumption, exercise regularly, lose weight and reduce stress.

Maurice Verrelli :How to Lose Weight with Coconut Oil
Several studies that is specialized for researching coconut oil or other types of fatty acids it contains have shown mixed results in terms of losing weight.
Oil palm is a tropical vegetable oils made from dried palm fruit from the tree. Coconut oil is comprised mostly of certain types of saturated fatty acids. In one tablespoon of coconut oil contains 117 calories and 13.6 grams of fat.
"Although high caloric content of coconut oil and also contains fat, but coconut oil can increase metabolism, provide energy, make a person feel fuller and enhance thyroid function," said Dr. Donald D Hesrud, associate professor of disease prevention
and nutrition at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, as quoted from the Mayo Clinic on Friday (01/07/2011).
The experts reveal the types of fatty acids contained in coconut oil is one type of sound, and the body can burn it quickly to become energy.
Coconut oil diet usually by eating as much as 3 tablespoons of pure coconut oil. In addition, a person is also advised to eat a low carbohydrate, and gradually narrow down the intake of carbohydrates and do a colon cleansing.
If someone wants to use coconut oil as a weight loss program, it must consider the balance between fat storage of fat consumed by the cells with the fat that is burned into energy. This is to prevent the buildup of fat in the liver.
"Short-term diet of coconut oil may not be harmful to health. But to achieve long-term success also required a healthy eating plan as a whole and also sports," he said.

Maurice Verrelli :Obese People Have More Risk of Traffic Accidents.
Maurice Verrelli, One more reason to lose weight said Maurice Verrelli, or at least keep it from growing. Maurice Verrelli said in addition to diabetes and heart disease prone, obese people are also more at risk of traffic accidents.
According to a study in the United States, being obese (moderate) had a 21 percent higher risk of experiencing an accident while driving a motor vehicle. The risk is even higher in severe obesity (severe) that is 56 percent.
Uniquely owner of ideal body not including the group's most secure when driving. People who are slightly overweight (Slightly overweight) was more secure than with a normal weight or tend to thin (underweight).
Research conducted at the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences involves 156,000 cars and motorcycle riders between the years 2000-2005. The results have been published in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine recently.
"The population of obese people growing by day. Results of this study indicate the need to design a car that is safe for obese people," said Dr. Dietrich Jehle, who led the study, as quoted from HealthDay, Monday (27/12/2010).
In addition to suggesting new design, Dr. Jehle also urged car companies to take into account the rider's body mass index in the collision test. Dummy or doll rider who crashed to be made in various models, including the shape is more fat.
Obesity is a risk that must be borne of the modern lifestyle, characterized by a diet high in calories as well as lack of exercise. For health in general, the risk is metabolic disorders including diabetes and hyperlipidemia that can trigger strokes and heart attacks.

"We found that those who lose weight only 1% each week, can be lowered to 10% in two or three months without feeling that they make a heavy sacrifice," said Maciej Buchowski, Ph.D., Director of the Energy Balance Core Laboratory at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, as quoted from MSNNews.
A study at the University of California, San Francisco noted, obese women with abnormal eating patterns that can reduce the weight of less than 10% just by smiling and leakage rate decreased 47% after six months.
In addition to reducing weight, a smile is also capable of providing postiif impact on the health of the body. Some of the positive impact is to lower blood pressure, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, prevent heart attacks, stroke, and diabetes.

10 Simple Ways to Avoid Illness
As much as possible to avoid illness is a wise choice for now considering the cost of treatment is not cheap. The trick is very simple, does not need a lot of cost and can be done by anyone.
Here are 10 tips to avoid getting sick, quoted from AskMen, Wednesday (12/05/2010).
1. Adequate rest
Lack of sleep often associated with various physical and mental health problems, including decreasing the body's immune system. Although no definitive explanation about the relation with the immune system, but certainly people who sleep more or less susceptible to disease. Therefore if you have health complaints that are not clearly the cause, try to improve sleep patterns.
2. Clean the surface of the furniture
Although more virus is directly transmitted from person to person, it is not possible indirect contact through a variety of furniture can also be contagious. Surface of the table, the tap water, the telephone and door handles should be cleaned frequently due to frequent contact with the hands. Some viruses and germs can survive there for several hours, even days.
3. Avoid 'party''during the season disease
Not party name if no alcohol, tobacco and stimulant drugs may. Not party is also the name if it does not stay up until morning. Yet all that can weaken the immune system, so the body susceptible to disease. If you occasionally want to come party with no risk of contracting the disease, make sure no one had a cold in that place.
4. Do not share personal items
As a child, sharing personal items like glasses and plates with fellow friends and values has its own happiness. Now, put that way of thinking like a little boy and be a bit selfish for goods that come into contact with the mouth. Toothbrushes, cigarettes, food and drinks easily transmit germs when used together.
5. Inadequate fluid requirements
Not only when sick, consume plenty of water also needs to be done now to prevent ill health. More than 60 percent of the human body consists of water whose function, among others, deliver nutrients to the cells at once dissolve toxins in the body.
6. Eat vegetables and fruits of the colorful
Without the need to realize, every time the body is always giving resistance to infection, various viral and bacterial diseases. In order to maintain immune system function, provide enough nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Vegetables and fruits are fairly complete source of nutrition. The darker and colorful, generally the more nutrient content.
7th. Sport
Do not simply make the body feel alive and healthy, studies have proven scientifically that any light as long as sports are conducted regularly can improve the immune system. Not yet known exactly how the mechanism, but suspected regular exercise in preventing the occurrence of inflammatory molecules that cause damage to cells of the immune system.
8. Stay away from sick people
This is the simplest tips that did not need much explanation. Most of the flu virus is spread through direct contact from person to person so it is quite reasonable to avoid the flu can prevent transmission. If there are co-workers heard the sniffles or sneezes, return immediately to his desk and wash hands as often as possible.
9. Do not touch the face of indiscriminate
Face to face or have so many entrance for germs. Not only through the nose or mouth, germs and even get in through gaps in the unexpected such as the eyes. To reduce the risk of germs, do not lick the hands or to rub his nose and itchy eyes though.
10. Keep your hand hygiene
Recommendations for hand washing can be found anywhere, because it is effective in suppressing the risk of disease transmission. Germs are everywhere, and carried away when his hand touched something. Therefore before touching your face and give opportunity to the germ for partying, wash hands with soap or at least running water.

Who Knew Water Would Have This Effect For Dieters!
Did you know that not drinking enough water might be why you're on that dreaded weight loss plateau even though you're maintaining your diet' Research suggests that a lot of Americans unknowingly suffer from mild, chronic dehydration, and that might be you they're talking about! I hope you read this article because it explains and makes sense the importance of water and the surprise impact to dieters.
Water is an essential ingredient for your weight loss. Water is required for a whole range of the body's biochemical processes, so lets look at what water does specially for dieters:
Your body needs to metabolize stored fat into energy - so much so, that your body's metabolism can be slowed by even mild levels of dehydration. And the slower your metabolism, the slower your weight loss (and you become tired), until eventually your weight loss just grinds to a halt! You now have just hit the dreaded diet plateau.
Water is a natural appetite suppressant. What good news! In the hypothalamus, a region in your brain that controls appetites and cravings, the control centers for hunger and thirst are situated next to each other, and there tends to be some overlap. This has both advantages and disadvantages for the dieter. On the flip side, it means that chronic mild dehydration can confuse these mechanisms, leading to feelings of hunger, rather than thirst. But on a positive note, it means you can use water to reduce your appetite. For example, in one University of Washington study, drinking a glass of water reduced nighttime hunger cravings for most of the dieters studied. I have also found this to be true.
Water is an essential to the processes that enables your muscles to contract. So water helps maintain muscle tone. Better muscle tone means a better looking body, and isn't that what dieting and weight loss is about?
There's help for that sagging skin. Water also helps to prevent the sagging skin that often follows weight loss - water plumps the skin cells, giving the skin a younger and healthier look.
Water helps rid the body of waste. During weight loss, the body has a lots of waste to get rid of because of all that fat. So enough water is essential to your health while dieting.
Water also helps with constipation. When the body gets too little water, it siphons what it needs from within, particularly from the colon. This leads to constipation. But normal bowel function almost always returns with adequate water intake.
Generally speaking, mild dehydration can cause a number of health problems, in addition to your diet plateau. The symptoms of mild dehydration can include:
- Headaches; that light headed feeling as dehydration interferes with normal body processes, including waste disposal.
- Fatigue, as the body's metabolism is slowed - mild dehydration is usually the most common cause of daytime fatigue.
- Hunger; cravings due to weakening of the thirst mechanism
- Fluid retention as your body tries to hold on to the water it already has
- Constipation, as the body works to conserve its internal water sources
Not a pretty picture but once you get your water in balance, you reach the "breakthrough point", a concept pioneered by Dr. Peter Lindner, a California obesity expert. He says, "Once you've reached the breakthrough point, fluid retention eases, the liver and endocrine system start to function more effectively, you will start to regain your natural thirst and your hunger cravings will be significantly reduced. And so the end result of reaching and sustaining the breakthrough point in your water balance is that your body is able to metabolize fat more effectively."
How much water should you drink daily to be healthy' First, a couple of basic principles:
1) The simplest way to tell if you are drinking enough water is check the color of your urine: It should be clear or a very pale yellow in color. (but note that some supplements and medications may also affect your urine color).
2) Get in to the habit of drinking regular and adequate amounts of water. Never wait to drink until you're thirsty, because if you're feeling thirsty, dehydration has already set in!
Having said that, an adequate water intake for a sedentary but normal-weight adult during cool weather, is generally recognized as 8 x 8 oz glasses. You will need more water in hot weather, when you lose more water through sweat. You also need to drink more water when you exercise. Athletes attempt to enhance their performance by maintaining an optimal fluid balance while exercising, estimated to require 6 to 12 oz of fluid at 15 to 20 minute intervals. Even if you're not concerned about your athletic performance, you should consume a similar amount of water when exercising, in order to maintain adequate hydration.
Here's another important thing to remember; if you're overweight, you'll need an extra glass of water for each 25 pounds overweight, because the extra weight creates extra metabolic demand.
How can you drink so much water' Weight loss experts secrets say drink 3 glasses of water with every meal. That's 3 glasses with breakfast, 3 with lunch, and 3 with dinner. Plus, of course, additional regular water between meals when you're exercising or when its hot. That sure makes it doable, doesn't it?
So if you're dieting, stalled on a weight loss plateau, or suffering some of the classic symptoms of dehydration, do, above everything else, be sure that you have an adequate water intake. It could be the missing ingredient in your diet regime and as easy to fix as drinking 3 glasses of water with each meal.
Remember that water is a natural appetitie suppressant. Use it to your advantage. If you're out shopping, take a bottle of water with you. If you feel like a late night snack, either go to bed or drink a glass of water. If you want a change, add a little bit of lemon juice into a glass of water. I find, instantly, my desire to eat is gone. Give it a try.
