Heart Attack and Nutrition

The risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart disease can be reduced through healthy nutrition (diet). The developed world is affecting some key cardiovascular diseases (heart attack) in their core hypertension and atherosclerosis.

From a nutritional viewpoint, both can be approached and are affected by diet. Diet is one of the multi-component combinations of various nutrients that intersect with one another.

The descriptive study of nutrients and their effects on heart attacks can be a formidable initiative. This research paper aims to study the significant relationship between nutrition and health attack, its statistics, signs and symptoms, and its treatment.

Heart Attack and Nutrition

In the U.S., around 610,000 individuals die due to heart attacks annually, which is one in every four deaths. For both male and female, it has become one of the main cause of death. Around 735,000 people in the U.S. suffer from a heart attack annually.

In 2015 around 17.7 million individuals died from cardiovascular disease. This figure accounted for thirty-one percent of all death globally. Out of these, around 6.7 million were due to heat stroke, and around 7.4 million were led by coronary heart disease.

In middle and low-income countries, around three quarters of deaths took place due to cardiovascular disease. With 17.3 million deaths annually, one of the leading global causes is heart disease in more than 190 countries.

By 2030, this figure is expected to increase by 23.6 million. The second leading cause of death is a stroke, which reached around thirty-three million in 2010.

Heart Attack

In a heart attack, one of the most significant factors is nutrition. A heart attack is led due to certain conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Other chronic health issues involve some types of cancer, osteoporosis, and type two diabetes.

Sweating, lightheadedness, palpitations, nausea, shortness of breath, stomach, jaw, neck, or back pain, complete discomfort in arms, or squeezing, and chest pain or discomfort are some of the common symptoms of a heart attack.

Risk

Consuming a high-plant, high-fiber, and low-saturated-food diet can substantially reduce the risk of developing a heart attack.

A heart attack is most likely to occur when any blood clot blocks the heart arteries. The supply of oxygen to the heart is eventually cut off by it, and the flow of blood is prevented, leading to a heart attack.

Fatty plaques or deposits block the arteries. In the coronary arteries, various factors are linked to the buildup of fatty deposits, including a family history of heart attack, lack of physical exercise and smoking.

Other than this, coronary heart disease is also contributed by the damaging of the artery walls led by uncontrollable diabetes. In comparison to individuals with normal weight, type 2 diabetes is more likely to be developed by obese people.
