According to many experts, women have still not received the message that heart health is of utmost importance to women. As one who follows the latest developments in prevention, I now realize that taking care of my heart needs to be a top priority for me. Female or male, It should be for you, as well.
The symptoms of a heart attack can be very different for women than for men. If you are female, be aware that you might not even experience chest pain as most men do when having a heart attack. According to Web MD, you "may just have a little bit of jaw pain, shoulder ache, nausea, vomiting, or shortness of breath."
Eat your veggies (and your fruit), nuts, beans, greens, etc. A little fish. A little poultry. Very little beef, fat, sugar and alcohol. The good news? A little dark chocolate is okay. Enyoy the summer's bounty. Be well.
