Dec Wrap Up

Twilight in Hazard; An Appalachian Reckoning [4.5 stars]

I found out about this book from my public library branch's Libby section for books about Appalachia and I'm glad. I've been wanting to learn more about Appalachia for a few months now, as I've lived in KY for most of my life but felt like I didn't really know anything. Not truly having roots here as my parents are west coast transplants. This book gives a very thorough history across many decades to the early 2020s.

Covering the coal industry, the OxyContin boom, the major levels of poverty, political corruption, and the shift from physical newspapers to online tabloids in Eastern Kentucky. The last one being that the author used to work for the Louisville Courier Journal and that this shift has actually been more detrimental to rural areas than beneficial. The book is a good starting point for those who know next to nothing about Eastern Kentucky and why it views the federal government and certain social issues the way it does. Would say to read other books in conjunction with this one due to its geographical specificity though. But there will definitely be similarities regarding the surrounding states.

Plus I'm overall tired of how people keep only recommending Hillbilly Elegy as that book is just another "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" story that doesn't seem to care about what happens to the area. Which I don't like that line of thinking as it doesn't account for all the outside forces affecting someone's life and why they make the choices they do. That's not to say they're the uwu helpless sort, just to clarify. Rather, the whole situation is a lot more nuanced than people like to admit and I think the author does a good job going about it all.

Alongside this, I'd simply rather hear from those who actually do want Appalachia to flourish. Even if said person starts out as an outsider. I listened to the audiobook version and will probably end up checking out the print version as there were some things mentioned that I definitely want to research and learn more about.

Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins  [4.25 stars]

Knowing the end of Gale's character arc in this series makes certain sentences a shit ton more eerie which is definitely foreshadowing on Collins' part

'He's something of a whiz with snares, rigging them to bent saplings so they pull the kill out of the reach of predators, balancing logs on delicate stick triggers, weaving inescapable baskets to capture fish.'

'Hands that have the power to mine coal but the precision to set a delicate snare.'

'I recognize that voice. It's the same one he uses to approach wounded animals before he delivers a deathblow.'

Apparently I remember the film a lot better than I thought cause I'd be reading certain passages and the movie scene would pop into my head as I was reading it. But just like TBOSAS, it's interesting to discover what they changed for the movie. Even with Collins' previous work in television before THG series.

I understand what people mean when they say Katniss' internal monologue is funny cause I was laughing at her pulling a Timothee Chalamet SNL character break, going 'I'm pregnant!?' knowing damn well she isn't. Yes, Peeta is charismatic but not that charismatic. 

That and her struggling to keep up the facade in the games. Like no wonder Snow didn't believe y'all's love bs, beyond his past w/ Lucy Gray

Same with the 'ayo, why is Finnick kissing Peeta?' but then going 'oh, right, cpr is a thing,' which I do think emphasizes how she's 17 without necessarily calling to it. Like a show, don't tell thing cause there's only one line I saw that outright said her age.

Also the attention that Collins gives to implementing folk customs into the story - the herbalist book from her mother's side, the district's all having a diff staple bread, & how district 12 does their wedding

And I am now caught up on the Hunger Series except for the Haymitch book that's about to be released. Reading order has gone; The Hunger Games -> Mockingjay -> TBOSAS -> Catching Fire

Dark Moon: The Blood Altar Vol 1 - HYBE [4.25 stars] Seven Spools of Thread: A Kwanzaa Story - Laurie Loughlin [4.0 stars] Pupposites Attract Vol 1 - Hono Natsuna [4.0 stars]

Has similar vibes to the webtoon My Giant Nerd Boyfriend but the roles are reversed and there are exponentially more dogs involved. But that's where the similarities begin and end. One of those sappy/fluffy, quick reads for when the weather's dreary. 

All-New Wolverine: Immune Vol 4 - Leonard Kirk & Tom Taylor [3.75 stars] Given Vol 7 - Natsuki Kizu [3.0 stars] Hanukcats: And Other Traditional Jewish Songs for Cats - Angela Shelf Medearis [3.5 stars] Pupposites Attract Vol 2 - Hono Natsuna [3.75 stars]

The next 6 were rated 3.0 stars just b/c while I wasn’t the intended audience, I still greatly enjoyed them and thought the art style was extremely adorable. 

Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea - Ben Clanton [3.0 stars] Super Narwhal and Jelly - Ben Clanton [3.0 stars] Narwhal's Otter Friend - Ben Clanton [3.0 stars] Narwhal's Sweet Tooth - Ben Clanton [3.0 stars] Narwhal's School of Awesomeness - Ben Clanton [3.0 stars] A Super Scary Narwhalloween - Ben Clanton [3.0 stars] Pack Origin - Kate King & Jessa Wilder [2.0 stars]

I always forget that romantasy is not really my thing seeing as I'm extremely picky when it comes to romance in general. Haven't entirely given up on the genre though.

As implied by the title, it's omegaverse where a character thinks they're a beta and then ends up an omega and their pack/harem is their alpha friends. There was an interesting aspect mentioned offhandedly in the first chapter about how omega/alpha pheromones are used as party drugs by betas. But because this book, despite the multiple povs is mainly framed in the fmc Bliss' perspective so it's unfortunately never explored. Otherwise, this book did make me realize I only like omegaverse in fanfiction b/c the book wasn't terrible.

It is a prequel novella to what seems to be a duology at this point in time. Went into it blind so Idk if the author is continuing it or if it's a completed series. Anyways, I bring this up as the novella does seem to be akin to how designers will make mock-ups of stuff when pitching ideas.

Unofficial Recipes of the Hunger Games: 187 Recipes Inspired by the Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingbird [2.75 stars]

This cookbook, oddly at the beginning, wants you to make everything in the recipe from scratch but the further it goes along, the more it becomes 'yea, buying stuff's fine.' Which isn't necessarily a bad thing but I'd rather them pick a lane

Would mostly recommend it for those who know next to nothing about cooking/baking and are wanting a place to start. That or if you're wanting to make more dinners at home with more vegetables

While it heavily acknowledges the fact that district 12 is supposed to be Appalachia, there's not a single recipe for grits. Closest they get is Mrs. Everdeen's Breakfast of Mush

It also treats meats such as squirrel, rabbit, and even venison at times as being 'exotic' meats. Which, as someone who lives in the south, aren't considered such. So that just came across as weird to me

Taylor Swift By the Book - Tiffany Tatreau & Rachel Feder [1.5 stars]

It's a recap video when I was expecting a video essay but in book form. It's extremely surface level and comes across pretentious as f. And funny enough in a book where you should be allowed to quote the lyrics, there's next to nothing. Or rather it's a single line used so it falls extremely flat when they point out the references. Like it's basic ass stuff you could research yourself going line by line on your own time. That and their quips piss me off.

Quips include [listening to the audiobook so apologies if the punctuation is off];

'If the theme of two girls competing for the affections of one guy doesn't sit well with you, we invite you to consider the following thesis; Cinderella was the original pick-me girl.'

'The choruses of Don't Blame Me and I Did Something Bad could've been sung by Ophelia and Lady Macbeth respectively at karaoke night...'

'Romeo and Juliet wish they had this steamy song to bop to, back in the 1500s'

Not a quip but 'Swiftian'

And to clarify, this isn't to say having this lightheartedness or the attitude the authors have towards old timey classics insults or devalues their work. Because simply put, it doesn't. The classical authors mentioned throughout have been dead for a while now. It's rather that there's an insulting insincerity that comes with treating Swift’s work akin to academia.

Cardiac Event Symptoms You Should Know About

Heart disease is the leading killer of Americans, claiming one in three lives each year. Regardless it is a sudden cardiac arrest, heart attack (myocardial infarction-MI) or stroke, the key to surviving an episode is being aware of and identifying the warning signs for swift treatment. Timing is key during such emergencies. Even a second lost can cost the victim’s life due to damage beyond repair.

Unfortunately, most people during a heart attack delay calling an ambulance or heading to the emergency room at the onset of chest pain because they believe it’s the result of something else, such as a pulled muscle or indigestion. Every second counts following a heart attack. It’s always advised to stay alert when it comes to chest pain or if your symptoms are indicative of a cardiac event. You should watch out for the following symptoms:

1.      Heart palpitations

2.      Light-headedness

3.      Sweating or clamminess

4.      Shortness of breath

5.      Nausea

6.      Vomiting

If you experience any of these symptoms, dial 911 right away. Listen to your body, it will definitely tell you if something is wrong. Do not make light of the aforementioned symptoms. Also, it is best not to drive yourself to the emergency department as the situation may further worsen. Just call 911 and tell them how you are feeling. They have life-saving skills to guide you the best.

It is also important to remember that besides chest pain- the most important MI symptom- cardiac events can also present in different ways, such as you may feel pain in the back, left shoulder, left arm, jaw, neck or even a tooth, but the pain actually is radiating from your chest or back.

Chest pain could be due to other serious conditions as well, such as angina, blood clots in the lungs and dissecting aneurysm- a life-threatening condition leading to similar pain (action must be taken with immediate effect by dialing 911).

Watch out for the following symptoms of stroke:

1.      Face drooping

2.      Arm weakness

3.      Speech difficulty

4.      Call 911 right away

Signs of cardiac arrest:

1.      Loss of responsiveness all of a sudden (check for the responsiveness by tapping on the shoulder)

2.      The person isn’t breathing normally

3.      Start CPR if you feel no pulse

CPR comprises chest compressions and rescue breaths, proper application of which will keep the blood flowing through the body until the arrival of EMTs.

As a post care measure, you must pay regular visits to your doctor following a cardiac episode and strictly follow their instructions, which will help you adhere to healthier life choices that will help manage your heart health more effectively. For optimal results, a cardiac rehab program may as well be prescribed.

If you are a resident of Louisville in Kentucky and wish to undergo CPR training, without further ado register for a class at CPR Louisville. We are an AHA accredited training site with training imparted by AHA certified instructors. Classes are held at Professional Towers, 4010 Dupont Circle, Suite L-11, Louisville, KY- 40207.

Things You Should Know About Vascular Treatment Options

Vascular disease includes any condition that affects your circulatory or cardiovascular system (supplies the body with blood), starting from diseases of your veins, arteries and lymph vessels, to blood disorders that affect circulation.

Treatment Options:

Heart and vascular treatment options have evolved immensely, and the treatment measures are effective at treating many diseases, disorders and conditions of the heart and cardiovascular system, including the coronary arteries, major blood vessels entering and leaving the ticker, to name a few. Treatment for cardiovascular disease ranges from lifestyle changes and prescription medication, to procedures like angioplasty and open heart surgery. A doctor might as well prescribe cardiac rehabilitation, which is a medically supervised program that’s designed to make the heart stronger and improve overall health and enhance the quality of life, and is also used to treat many cardiovascular conditions.

Heart and vascular treatment is mainly recommended to individuals who have angina (chest pain), cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart), coronary artery disease (CAD), heart attack, heart defects, arrhythmia (an abnormal heart rhythm), heart failure (HF), high blood pressure or high cholesterol, and peripheral vascular disease (PAD).

Talking about treatments, follow whatever your doctor recommends as he/she will recommend treatment that’s best for you. Do listen to his advice. You might be advised to go for a less invasive treatment option, such as medicine and cardiac rehabilitation, for conditions like angina.

Types of treatments:

1.      Congestive Heart Failure treatment,

2.      Heart attack treatment,

3.      Angioplasty (a procedure to restore blood flow through the artery),

4.      Vascular surgery, such as peripheral vascular surgery, varicose vein surgery, or thoracic aneurysm repair,

5.      Open heart surgery, such as heart bypass surgery, heart valve repair, or aortic valve repair or replacement.

Recovery after treatment:

Most surgical cardiovascular treatments take place in a hospital or outpatient clinic, wherein a medical team will be appointed- consisting of registered nurses, anesthesiologists, operating room technicians, nutritionists and mental health professionals (directed by your cardiologist) - who’ll guide you throughout in regards to explaining the treatment to you in advance and give you the chance to ask questions.

Make sure you look for providers who specialize in the treatment you’re considering when you are in the process of choosing your heart and vascular treatment. It’s wise to go for someone who performs that treatment on a regular basis.

How quickly one will recover varies from person to person, depending upon an individual’s overall health, their treatment, and whether or not one experiences any complications. Catheter and minimally invasive heart and vascular treatments have a shorter recovery time in comparison to open surgery with a larger incision, which might take several months before you fully recover. However, you’ll notice considerable improvement in your cardiovascular health after treatment with your medical team always keeping a close watch on you, which will help with healing and help you reach your health goals so you can return to an active lifestyle and prevent future heart problems.

Tips to reduce potential complications of cardiovascular treatment:

As with every other procedure, cardiovascular treatment involves risk and potential complications, which depends somewhat on an individual’s overall health and the specific treatment. Some of the common risks include allergic reaction, blood clots, anesthetic reaction, bleeding, and infection and poor wound healing. Potential complications of heart and vascular treatment include hemorrhage, heart attack and nerve damage, but fret not as most treatments are completely successful and improve symptoms.

You can significantly reduce your risk of certain complications by quitting smoking, taking your medications exactly as directed, strictly adhering to activity, dietary and lifestyle restrictions and recommendations, notifying your healthcare provider immediately of any concern, such as bleeding, fever, or increase in pain, and also notifying everyone in your care team if you have allergies.

The best way to handle out-of-hospital cardiac emergencies like a cardiac arrest is by getting CPR trained at an AHA certified site, such as CPR Louisville in KY. To sign up for a course, contact CPR Indianapolis.

Treat Burns With CPR Class Louisville First Aid

Burns caused by chemicals need to be attended to immediately. This is because many chemicals used often at work, school, or home can result in serious skin burns that may be deeper than they appear to be. Depending on the type of chemical, how long it is in contact with the skin, and how potent it is, burns can vary in severity. Washing the chemical off with lots of water as soon as you can is crucial if you find someone suffering from a chemical burn. Additional information regarding chemical burns is provided below.

How does chemical burn work?

These are tissue injuries brought on by caustic or harsh substances. The majority of people typically understand what causes a burn like this. But occasionally, if a less potent chemical component is the reason, you might not notice it right away.

The toxins, as opposed to thermal burns, can still cause tissue damage after coming into touch with you. To avoid scarring or consequences, quick medical intervention is therefore crucial. Hours after exposure, the damage could start to appear. While you may usually cure small burns with basic treatment, major chemical burns require immediate CPR Louisville First Aid treatment.

Who are susceptible?

Farmers, factory and construction workers, laboratory technicians, mechanics, and plumbers are among the occupations that expose people to chemicals regularly. Children and infants are also at risk for chemical burns since they may consume or mistakenly touch household chemicals like bleach, detergent, or cleaning goods.

Burns from chemicals frequently come from accidents at home or work, but they can occasionally even be the consequence of an assault or self-harm. The face, limbs, hands, and feet are the areas they are most prone to impact. If chemicals are consumed during self-harm, they can also burn you internally.

Treatment of chemical burns with CPR Class Louisville

If you have a mild symptom, you usually won't be admitted to the hospital. To keep the wound clean and stop it from drying out, you should follow your doctor's advice. Your doctor will also provide you with guidance on the best ways to manage your pain and what lotions and dressings to use. If you have chemical burns, act right away by following these instructions:

1. Call the regional poison control center or 911.

2. Put on gloves and remove any dried chemicals that are still present. Do not subject yourself to chemical exposure.

3. Take off any contaminated clothing or jewelry and give the affected region at least 20 minutes of cool water rinsing. Flood zone or until the emergency department can assist.

4. If at all possible, avoid using a forceful stream of water; be careful not to get water on you or the individual.

5. If there are instructions on the product's label, read them after flushing the burn.

6. Avoid using acid or alkali to try to neutralize the burn as this could result in a chemical reaction that makes the burn worse.

7. Avoid applying antibiotic ointment to the burn.

8. Use a bandage or clean cloth to cover the burn. To prevent applying pressure to the skin harm, don't wrap it too firmly.

9. Rinse it again with lots of water for several minutes if you still feel burning.

3. give out supplies to protestors

people need supplies to protest safely, and even if they bring supplies with them, they can often run out. if you’re able, stock up and hand them out to people protesting. for more supplies to donate, see the “george floyd action” google docs link in section 5.

water bottles (dehydration and heatstroke are not things people should have to deal with alongside bastard cops. if the police in your area are particularly violent or known to use tear gas, get the ones with the sports cap/suction-thing/etc so people can use them as emergency eye-flushes.)

snacks (make sure to take into account that people have allergies of all sorts. foods will have a little label that says “may contain” and then list any potential allergens. write the allergens on the ziploc (or any container you use) in permanent marker, or better yet, write the snacks included in the pack.)

masks (don’t forget there’s still a pandemic going on. also it will aid in deterring facial recognition when the police try to track down protestors,  also part two, if the cops use tear gas, wearing a mask (with the combination of a scarf or bandana) will lessen the adverse effects. lessen, not stop.)

bandanas, scarves, etc. and goggles (ski goggles, swimming goggles, etc.) (see above for explanation on the scarves. same goes for the goggles. anti–tear gas and anti–facial recognition.)

clean shirts (for people who are heavily gassed. also helps deter recognition through clothing.)

wound care supplies (band-aids, packets of neosporin packets or a similar antibiotic, alcohol wipes, etc.; if you can, decant bactine into those little travel bottles.)

a sharpie or another type of marker (for writing bail numbers or emergency contacts on arms, hands, etc. it’s not enough to have your city’s bail fund number stored on your phone; the police won’t give it to you to look it up. give people a marker so they can write it down, preferably not washable so it isn’t easily removed.)

IMPORTANT: KNOWING FIRST AID

tear gas: if you’re hit, get out as fast and as soon as you can. take anyone you can with you. the longer you’re in the gas, the harder it will be for you to see, and it can irritate your airways, making it hard to breathe. if you’re hit, don’t run; it’ll only make things worse on your lungs. when you leave the area, take a cold shower. don’t use hot water (it will only reactivate the agent); don’t bathe (it will only spread the CS around). (source 1) (source 2) (cdc fact sheet on tear gas)

move them to a clean and ventilated area where it’s as safe as possible.

ask them if they’re wearing contact lenses. have them remove it. if they’re wearing glasses, rinse it with water.

solution of half liquid antacid, half water. spray from the inside going out, with the head tilted back and slightly towards the side being rinsed. if they say it’s okay, open the eye slightly while doing this. (source)

bullet wounds: the most important thing is to stop the bleeding. be sure to check for an exit wound and cover that as well. treat both wounds, but treat the worse one first.

4. be a source of information

be responsible with this. people’s lives are at stake. that being said, the media is a fucking joke and the best way to get accurate information in a grassroots rebellion is amongst ourselves. record everything, but if you are going to share any information at all, be sure to blur people’s faces.

NUMBERS TO CALL FOR ARRESTED PROTESTORS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; SOURCES LINKED TO THE NUMBER)

remember to keep phones OFF unless absolutely necessary. cell phone towers, stingrays, location notifs can all be used to track you and other protestors. don’t fuck around. if your phone must be on, keep it on airplane mode as often as possible and only communicate using encrypted methods. no, snapchat doesn’t count.

Choosing the Best CPR Certification Course in Louisville

CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) certification is a vital skill that can save lives in emergency situations. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, a teacher, a parent, or simply a concerned citizen, having CPR certification equips you with the knowledge and skills to respond effectively in critical moments.

[cprclassesnearme]

Why Taking CPR Classes in Louisville is Essential for Your Community and Your Loved Ones

CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a life-saving technique used during cardiac or breathing emergencies. Understanding how to perform CPR correctly can make the difference between life and death for someone in need. In Louisville, as with many other cities, heart disease remains a leading cause of death, and emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere. Equipping yourself with CPR skills can prepare you to act confidently in critical situations and potentially save lives.

The Importance of CPR Training

Each year, thousands of cardiac arrests occur outside of hospitals, and a significant number happen at home or in public settings. When performed promptly, CPR can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival. For residents of Louisville, being CPR-certified means you are ready to act when every second counts, whether it’s at a sports event, in your workplace, or within your own home.

CPR classes in Louisville are designed to ensure you learn the skills necessary to save lives. These classes focus on hands-on practice and give participants a clear understanding of what to do when someone is unresponsive or not breathing.

What You’ll Learn in a CPR Class

When you enroll in a CPR class, expect to gain comprehensive knowledge of how to respond to cardiac and breathing emergencies. The training usually covers:

Chest Compressions: You’ll learn the correct hand placement, pressure, and speed for chest compressions, which are crucial for restoring blood circulation to the brain and other vital organs.

Rescue Breaths: Proper techniques for giving rescue breaths, ensuring that oxygen gets to the person’s lungs.

Using an AED: An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can restore a normal heart rhythm. CPR classes teach you how to use this life-saving device effectively.

Responding to Choking Incidents: You’ll practice techniques to assist someone who is choking, a situation that can quickly become life-threatening.

Who Should Take a CPR Class?

Anyone and everyone can benefit from CPR training. Parents, teachers, healthcare workers, fitness instructors, and even teenagers should consider becoming certified. If you work in a high-traffic environment or have loved ones with a history of heart issues, CPR training is particularly crucial. Some occupations in Louisville even require CPR certification, such as those in the healthcare and childcare fields.

Benefits of Learning CPR

Empowerment in Emergencies: Knowing CPR gives you the confidence to act quickly and efficiently during emergencies.

Protect Loved Ones: With many cardiac arrests happening at home, being CPR-trained allows you to provide immediate care to a family member in distress.

Community Safety: A well-trained community is a safer community. The more people in Louisville who know CPR, the greater the chance of saving lives.

Career Advantages: CPR certification can make your resume stand out, especially if you are pursuing a career in education, sports, or healthcare.

Finding the Right CPR Classes in Louisville

There are numerous options for taking CPR classes in Louisville. You can choose in-person training, which offers hands-on practice, or online courses if you prefer a flexible learning environment. Many classes are conducted by certified instructors who use the latest guidelines from the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross.

How Often Should You Renew Your CPR Certification?

CPR guidelines and best practices can change as new medical research emerges. Therefore, it’s crucial to renew your CPR certification every two years. This ensures you stay up to date with the latest techniques and are prepared to provide the best care possible in an emergency.

Tips To Safeguard Your Heart Health When You Have A Heart Rhythm Problem

You must have heard plenty of times about how to keep your heart healthy, mainly through getting regular exercise, eating a healthy diet and staying away from smoking. There are no two ways about how much important it is for everyone to take care of their heart, but it’s even more important if you have an abnormal heart rhythm. An abnormal heart rhythm occurs when your heart beats too quickly, too slowly or irregularly. Most arrhythmias are harmless and are left untreated, but some cause severe symptoms or are signs of more serious health problems.

It is your doctor who after detecting your arrhythmia, will need to find out whether it’s abnormal or simply reflects the heart’s normal processes. According to whether or not your arrhythmia is abnormal and whether it causes symptoms or puts you at risk for more serious abnormal rhythms or complications of arrhythmias in the future, he or she will devise a treatment plan, which will aim towards controlling your heart rate within a relatively normal range, treating heart disease or condition that may be causing an abnormal rhythm, reducing other risk factors for heart disease and stroke, restoring a normal rhythm, and preventing formation of blood clots especially for people with Atrial Fibrillation (AFib).

Here are a few tips to keep your heart healthy:

Monitor Caffeine Intake- It is essential that you pay close attention to what and how much you put in your body, when it comes to coffee or energy drinks. Different things trigger arrhythmias in different people, which means coffee doesn’t do anything for some people, whereas one cup can cause an abnormal rhythm to blow up for others. Doctors recommend sticking to only one or two a day if possible. Talking about energy drinks, avoid them completely since energy drinks have also been shown to raise blood pressure and cause abnormal rhythms.

Get Regular Exercise- There’s no denying that exercising is always good, and a heart rhythm problem doesn’t need to stop you. What is important is that you need to be a little cautious since certain types of exercise causes the body to pump more adrenaline, and some arrhythmias worsen with too much adrenaline. Formulate your exercise regimen in consultation with your doctor, who will determine the best exercise depending on your arrhythmia. The best forms of exercises include cardio or yoga. Yoga not only is safe if you have an arrhythmia, but also can actually help prevent future events.

Cut Down On Alcohol Consumption- Consume alcoholic drinks to no more than two drinks per night, and drink even less if your arrhythmia is caused by a weakened heart or previous heart attack. Monitoring your alcohol intake becomes even more important if you have a certain kind of arrhythmia called atrial fibrillation, or A-Fib since alcohol is a major A-Fib trigger. Even moderate drinking can increase your risk for AFib.

Do Not Overlook Your Arrhythmia Even If It’s Benign- It’s good if your doctor tells you that your arrhythmia is harmless and doesn’t require treatment, but that in no way means that you won’t ever have symptoms. Presence of symptoms is reason enough to treat an abnormal rhythm. Besides eating healthy, exercising and getting enough sleep, it is as (if not more) important that you quit smoking, talk to your doctor before making a trip to very high altitudes and pay close attention to what triggers your arrhythmia (which varies for every individual)- to keep your arrhythmia in check.

It’s always a great idea to check with your physician when you’re experiencing new symptoms or discomfort.

Advice For Heart Health Worth Special Attention

Deaths due to heart diseases are on an all-time high with heart attacks and strokes accounting for most such deaths. This makes it imperative to take care of the ticker by adopting every possible measure that’s there to keep your heart in tip-top condition.

Highlighting some useful tips for heart health:

Healthy eating equals healthy heart- Doctors time and again have talked about the link between diet and the health of ticker. For heart health one’s diet should comprise fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains and lean diary, while reducing intake of processed foods and the unhealthy saturated fats. Here are some new foods worth talking about that can lower your risk for developing heart disease:

a)      Yogurts and spreads like margarine (can lower blood levels of the LDL ‘bad’ cholesterol)

b)      Vitamin C – good sources include oranges, strawberries, broccoli, red bell peppers and Brussels sprouts, and Kiwi too (eating foods high in Vitamin C significantly cuts stroke risk, especially in smokers).

c)      Dark chocolate is immensely heart-healthy due to the healthful flavonoids, especially those that can cut heart disease risk.

d)      Cumin (in spice) can lower LDL cholesterol and increase good HDL cholesterol too.

Be active- A sedentary lifestyle makes someone 73 percent more likely to develop heart disease. Spend at least 30 minutes every day engaged in any aerobic activity like brisk walking, cycling, swimming, jumping rope, etc.

Keep ticker from hardening- The heart muscle starts to harden with increasing age, making it difficult for it to pump blood effectively through the body. Wear and tear of muscle also increases. Regular physical activity and a balanced diet are helpful.

Bring any symptoms, such as shortness of breath, palpitations, fatigue, swelling in legs, feet and ankle or coughing up pink mucus to your doctor’s attention without delay.

Work towards receiving the right minerals- To reduce your risk of heart attacks, it is important to get the right minerals including potassium, magnesium and calcium. The risk of heart and other diseases start rising post 40, so getting your mineral levels tested may hold you in good stead.

Increase Vitamin D- Low levels of vitamin D have been associated with obesity, diabetes, cancer and heart disease, and the risk increases with advancing age. Go out in the sun for your body to produce this vitamin naturally. Not to mention foods like oily fish (mackerel, salmon) to get this vitamin from.

Reduce weekend binges- Binge watching has kind of become the norm post pandemic. Irregular meal timings (due to our unhealthy watching habits) can take a toll on your ticker, which particularly happens during the weekend. Taking a detour from usual meal pattern can raise your blood pressure, body mass index and waist size. This can wreak havoc on your ticker. Make sure to eat at consistent times both during workweek and on the weekend.
