we go to the grocery store to buy dog food we go and choose and spend 10 minutes or more looking at the different kind of you want to give to our path as best food well we should at least have the same attention to our food most men are knowledgeable that their equipment needs routine care so they'll take their car for a routine checkup but then they don't go for a check-up themself they don't think they need it and that is just a wrong message life is busy and we all do million things with work with a family and we have some hobbies in health does not come as a priority when you think you are young and strong and nothing that's it happen many times I need patients when they're admitted to the hospital with a heart attack and I tell them this is a day that you will never forget it's a day that will change your life from now on you have to take is even more seriously than you have if you think you're having a heart problem acting time is muscle they say for the heart muscle so if you are concerned in you or a loved one is having a heart attack call 9-1-1 right away repeatedly auditions that tell me that they thought it was indigestion and just wasn't going away and inside the comic day later attorneys later family history is very important they should know what your family history is like and that does not mean only dear brothers and sisters and their parents but also your uncles and your grandparents and then there are the more of those risk factors where high cholesterol diabetes and high blood pressure that are really the three main reasons why people have heart attacks especially at a premature age and they have treatment for it and so once once you have being identified at dose there are certainly healthy lifestyle and exercise can help but there are many medications we can really save your life and reduce this and then most important probably risk that we can certainly eliminate very easily is smoking right ie were nice when I speak with my friends and my patients I think it's really stupid to expose yourself to this easily avoidable risk you
