 Heart attacks are a leading health concern, yet many are preventable. Cardiologist shares 9 simple lifestyle tips to protect your heart and overall well-being.


With busy routines, poor diet, and stress becoming part of modern life, heart health is often neglected until it’s too late. Heart attacks can strike without warning, but most of them are preventable. Dr. Jack Wolfson, Cardiologist and founder of Natural Heart Doctor shares in his June 20 Instagram post 9 simple yet effective tips to reduce your risk of a heart attack. 


1. Get rid of plastic

“Plastic is nasty, it’s proven to be problematic. Minimize your plastic exposure the best you possibly can,” says Dr. Jack.

2. Eat more seafood

“Seafood is the healthiest food available. People with the highest levels of omega-3 have the lowest risk of everything,” he adds.

3. Get more sunshine

“The Sun reverses plaque, prevents heart attacks, and prevents strokes. Get more sunshine,” Dr. Jack advises.

​​4. Improve your sleep quality

“Consider mouth taping to improve sleep quality,” he suggests.

5. Move more

“Hike, bike, walk, stand up paddle board, kayak, do muscle-building activities, just move more,” he says.

6. Reduce your stress levels

“Anyone who has a cardiac event, I’ve seen hundreds of heart attacks and strokes, stress was always a factor,” Dr. Jack explains.

7. Avoid water-damaged mold or bacteria

“You want to make sure you are not living in water-damaged mold or bacteria. Test your home, test yourself,” he adds.

8. Test yourself regularly

“Check for inflammation, oxidative stress, homocysteine, Lp(a), intracellular vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, leaky gut, environmental toxins, test for those,” he says.

9. Limit EMF exposure

“Try and limit your exposure to EMF. Don’t wear your cell phone, don’t sleep next to it, maybe turn off Wi-Fi at night. Definitely don’t wear earbuds,” Dr. Jack concludes.

  We’ve all heard that skipping breakfast is bad for health, but did you know it can also harm your teeth? Yes—your bright smile may be one of the first things to suffer when you ditch that morning meal. Whether it’s the office rush, a habit of drinking only coffee in the morning, or following intermittent fasting (16:8 method), many people skip breakfast without realising the silent damage it does to their oral health. According to Lt. Gen. Dr Vimal Arora, Chief Clinical Officer at Clove Dental, skipping breakfast is a big dental threat. Let’s break down why. ​​But this comes at the cost of your dental health, as Dr Arora said it backfires on you, despite the many benefits. He said, “Skipping breakfast leads to longer fasting windows, which alter the body’s internal rhythm. The result? Increased gastric acid production and a rise in GERD symptoms, especially in the morning. That lingering burning sensation you feel when you wake up? That’s stomach acid making its way into your oes...

  (via google) The concept of having 'two hearts' might seem unusual, but it refers to the crucial role of the calf muscles in supporting cardiovascular health. Here's how. Cardiologist, Dr Dmitry Yaranov asked his Instagram followers to 'keep their calf muscles strong for life' in a post on August 27. Why? The cardiologist noted that by providing attention to calf health, we can support overall heart health and decrease our risk of cardiovascular disease.  He discusses how calf muscles are often referred to as the 'second heart' because of their importance in supporting blood circulation. In his post, Dr Yaranov said, “You don’t have one heart. You have two. The first is in your chest. The second is in your calves.
