Can Your Doctor Fix Your Heart Failure?

By:


Even your doctor will tell you they can't fix your heart failure. Odds are, if your doctor can't drug it, surgically repair it, or chop it out, he/she can't help you.

Unfortunately, he/she can run a bunch of tests and give you a clean bill of health. If you are eating a diet high in saturated fat with plenty of processed foods, and rarely get off the sofa, that comforting bit of information could be your death sentence.

You are not likely to make any changes if your doctor gives you a thumbs up. However, you should be aware that many subtle symptoms should be a red flag of warning!

The first symptom of heart disease is often a heart attack! Women should be especially mindful of these warning signs because they do NOT typically do well with the surgical method of care. Better make positive changes sooner than later!

YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED IF:

* You have chest pain, numbness or tingling in face, feet or hands, or any unusual heavy or spongy feeling in your chest.
* You hear a rattling sound when you breathe.
* You have a persistent cough that is usually dry or produces clear mucus.
* You have had recurring pneumonia several times in the past year.
* You retain water, and can't see your ankle bone.
* You feel puffy every morning, or at the end of the day.
* Your oxygen level is below 92% with activity, or even 94% when sitting comfortably.
* You suffer from extreme fatigue.
* You are forgetful, or have trouble concentrating.
* You can't catch your breath if you lie down in bed.

You are probably aware of basic health building tactics:

* reduce saturated fat in your diet
* eat your fruits and vegetables
* reduce if not stop smoking
* get out there and exercise

Other facts you may not be so aware of:

* The Standard American Diet will starve you of the nutrition you need and clog your arteries.
* A common cause of obesity is this malnourishment. Your body knows that it is starving.
* Just eating foods as close to their natural state as possible will improve many discomforts.
* To some people food additives are poison and water retention is a common result.
* Excess water retention, for any reason puts a worrisome burden on the heart. Fat does not stress the heart like excess fluid!
* Cholesterol-lowering medications cause CoQ10 deficiencies that lead to loss of muscle strength and your heart is a muscle!
* STRESS will KILL you!
* Laughter is POWERFUL medicine!

Heart disease kills more people than every other cause of death combined. Take measures today to nurture your health and ensure that heart failure does not derail your future.
