Heart Attack
- Trim the unhealthy fat
Protect your heart and its blood supply by cutting meat, dairy fats, and foods containing trans fats out of your diet; fuel up with nuts, olive oil, fish, and other sources of healthy fats instead
- Choose risk-reducing foods
Eat more whole grains, beans and other pulses, vegetables, and fruit
- Discover CoQ10
Reduce complications following a heart attack by taking 120 mg a day of co-enzyme Q10, a powerful antioxidant
- Don’t forget the fish oil
Reduce the chances of having another heart attack by taking capsules that supply a total of 900 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per day
Ask about medications prescribed to prevent future attacks, and death due to an attack, such as the blood pressure–lowering drugs atenolol (Tenormin), lisinopril (Zestril, Prinivil), and carvedilol (Coreg); the vasodilator nitroglycerinee (Nitrostat, Nitro-Dur); and the “blood thinner” warfarin (Coumadin)
