Air Pollution can kill your Heart !

A new study is trying to make an effort to study the impact of air you breathe on your heart.


The doctors have drawn substantial links between heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases, to what we breathe besides our eating habits.


Places experiencing heavy traffic are now considered a much stronger cause of health problems, and what your lungs can handle, your heart may not.


The doctors feel that the lungs are able to handle more pressure than the heart. So polluted air causes mire threat to your heart than to your lungs.


Breathe fresh air to avoid any possibility of an heart attack.

Treat Depression - Why ?

BLEAK FORECAST FOR THE BLUES

Why is it so important to treat depression ? Because it’s more than a mental health issue. For instance, a study in archives of general psychiatry found that older adults with depression were more likely to accrue visceral fat (abdominal fat surrounding internal organs), which has been linked to increased risk of CVD and heart attack. Other studies suggest that depressed patients have low heart rate variability (“hardening” of the arteries), as well as greater levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which may increase the risk of diabetes.
