Coronary heart disease is scary. But the disease is actually more common in men can be prevented. Man enough to eliminate belly fat, reduce alcohol consumption, walking
40 minutes a day, eating more vegetables and fruits as well as quit
smoking.
A study of 20 271 men found four out of five heart attacks can be prevented with a healthy lifestyle. Even doing one healthy lifestyle changes can reduce the risk to a third. If he made five changes at the same time, the risks can be reduced up to 86 percent.
Quitting smoking lowers the risk up to 36 percent while a healthy diet lowered to 25 percent. Reducing alcohol to less than three units lower the risk of heart attack eight percent.
Reduce waist circumference to less than 90 cm may help reduce the risk to 13 percent while walking or cycling at least 40 minutes a day lowers the risk of up to seven percent.
The more healthy lifestyle made man, the more the risk reduction. For example, if they do a healthy diet and reducing alcohol consumption, the risk drops to 35 percent. When they exercise and follow a healthy diet and reducing alcohol, the risk drops to 64 percent.
Studies of these men carried out by researchers from Sweden and has been published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The researchers calculated 80 percent of heart attacks in men could be avoided through lifestyle changes to become healthier. This study followed men from age 45 to 79 for 11 years. At the beginning of the study they were given a number of questions about lifestyle.
Dr. Agneta Akesson, an associate professor from Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm said, "It is not surprising that the choice of a healthy lifestyle reduces the risk of heart attack. The surprising thing is how drastically the risk of it down."
"It is important to note that the lifestyle behaviors that can be changed and change the behavior of high risk to low risk may have a major impact on the health of the heart. The best thing we can do is to adopt a lifestyle as early as possible," he added.
Approximately 62 thousand men had heart attacks each year in the UK. Heart attacks in women occur 38 thousand per year. The big difference incidence of heart attacks based on gender is partly due to hereditary factors as well as differences in lifestyle. Investigators believe a lot of heart attacks in women go undiagnosed because women do not experience the typical symptoms like chest pain.
