Most of us are aware that women’s heart attack incidents are on the rise. Everybody agrees what is needed is preventative heart disease treatments to lessen the liklihood of a woman developing this diesease.

Tip #5: Use Your Beans-Beans are high in phytosterols and ligans which are substances that bind cholesterol to the small intestine and prevent it from being absorbed in the bloodstream according to Keri Gans, R.D. a dietician in NYC. If you eat one-third of a cup of cooked or canned beans a day, you can slash your chances of a being in the women’s heart attack group by 30%.

Tip #6: Do A Check. Did you know women with vitamin d deficits in their 20′s to early 40′s are three times more likely to develop high blood pressure later in life? This is according to a recent University of Michigan study. Since a whopping 75% of Americn fall short on their vitamin intake, women should have their doctor check vitamin d levels with a blood test.

Tip #7: Wear earplugs to bed? It’s true. It does help because nighttime noise increases your odds of developing high blood pressure by 45%. It interrupts sleep and creates stress according to researcher Theo Bodin. Earplugs can block all that noise.

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

In today’s post, we will cover the last 4 of the top 8 heart disease treatments for women as well as men. Though women’s heart problems is a concern in our society, it is always great to know there are things that women as well as men can do to recover from heart disease.

So, that said, let’s continue and hear what else Dr. Wallack recommends, someone who had to have bypass surgery.

Tip #5: Make love once more. Dr. Wallack recommends you ask your doctor if you can have sex again. Many heart patients worry sex will strain their hearts and this is not true. Less than 1% of patients due of a heart attack while having sex.

Tip #6: Eat well for recovery. Eat small meals frequently. Anesthesia effects can cause some heart patients to feel nauseaous and creates a loss of appetite. Plus, pain medication can add to the problem. Dr. Wallack found smoothies to be ideal for him.

Tip #7: Prepare for career issues. When Dr. Wallack was recovering, some people were tryinto get his job! When you return to work, don ‘t talk about your health and don’t let people see you taking medication. Do ask your boss or human resources manager for accomodations such as taking a 15 minute power nap or making time for a rehab trip.

Tip #8: Set exercise goals. Women’s heart problems as well as men’s can be helped with exercise. Regular exercise lowers cholesterol and blood pressure. Plus, it reduces stress. Make sure you develop a program with a rehabilitation expert who can work with you the first few months as you recuperate. This many times is covered by your insurance.

I hope, whether you are a woman who has women’s heart problems or a gentleman, that you have found Dr. Wallack’s information helpful. Follow it and you will be well on your way to recovery.
