The
tragedy
is
where
people
continue
to
claim
that
they
werent
prepared,
that
it
took
them
by
surprise.
Through
most
of
my
research,
there
is
one
question
I
havent
been
able
to
answer
and
its
the
same
one
that
I
have
found
to
be
mostly
ignored.
If
you
knew
how
you
were
going
to
die,
wouldnt
you
try
to
do
everything
you
could
to
prevent
it?
An article by Drs Francis Miller Jr., et.al. in the International Journal of Molecular
Sciences
titled,
Special
Issue:
Oxidative
Stress
In
Cardiovascular
Disease
2015,
emphasize
that
heart
disease
is
the
leading
cause
of
death
in
the
United
States.
(Francis)
We
could
be
preventing
or
at
least
delaying
our
mortality
but
instead
we
continue
not
to.
For
most
of
us,
heart
disease
has
precursors
that
are
self-evident
and
highly
preventable
through
our
activity
levels,
nutritional
eating
habits
and
our
level
of
exposure
to
smoking
carcinogens.
Consider for a moment your activity levels and how they might be working for or against
you.
According
to
the
CDC,
the
percentage
of
Americans
diagnosed
with
hypertension
in
2012
was
at
32.5%.
In
order
to
counteract
this
problem,
our
routines
should
include
at
least
150
minutes
of
moderate
exercise
or
75
minutes
of
vigorous
exercise
as
well
as
two
days
of
strength
training.
(CDC)
The
problem
is
that
less
than
half
of
Americans
are
attaining
those
physical
activity
goals.
If
you
arent
physically
active
you
probably
attribute
your
sedentary
lifestyle
to
a
combination
of
things
like
money,
work,
family
relationships,
the
economy
or
even
your
health.
Another
word
for
this
is,
Stress.
The
American
Psychological
Association
believes
that
stress
remains
a
major
barrier
that
prevents
us
from
living
well
and
reaching
our
health
and
lifestyle
goals
(APA).
We are using it, however, as some sort of utilitarian interpretation that somehow will
become
a
benefit
in
out
lives.
We
use
stress
to
excuse
why
we
conform
only
to
that
which
brings
us
pleasure,
until
it
brings
us
pain.
Stress
neither
motivates
us
to
become
physically
active,
nor
condones
our
sedentary
lifestyle.
Stress
ultimately
leaves
us
in
this
kind
of
limbo
that
promotes
only
a
singular
catalyst
for
change,
heart
disease
itself.
Its
a
cycle
that
we
have
an
obligation
to
expose
and
reform
if
not
only
for
our
families
then
for
our
own
health.
Our eating habits also play a large role in determining our risk factors for heart disease.
In
a
news
release
from
the
USDA
titled,
Americans
Are
Choosing
Healthier
Foods,
Consuming
Healthier
Diets,
they
claim
that
from
2005
to
2010
Americans
cholesterol
intake
declined
by
an
average
of
about
7%
and
fats
and
saturated
fats
between
3%
and
5%
respectively.
(Todd)
However,
if
you
compare
it
to
the
CDC
claims
into
the
increased
use
of
lipid
controlling
medications
(Kuklina,
et.al.)
you
would
find
that
we
are
turning
to
medications
as
panacea
to
solve
our
physical
ailments
more
than
individual
management.
It has been acknowledged for many years that fatty buildup and inflammation of the
arteries
are
indications
into
a
heart
attack.
Medications,
however,
should
be
a
last
alternative
method
to
solving
such
a
complex
problem
as
heart
disease
because
according
to
Dr.
Mark
Hyman,
many
of
them
dont
treat
the
underlying
causes
of
chronic
illnesses.
(Hyman)
Its
like
putting
yourself
on
life
support
because
you
had
an
asthma
attack.
Most of us wait until after we develop symptoms to go to the doctor, expecting him to
solve
all
of
our
problems
with
some
miracle
cure.
The
reality
though,
we
are
keeping
ourselves
from
taking
responsibility
for
our
shortsighted
actions.
Heart
disease
has
the
same
problems
that
the
characters
in
Ann
Rands
Anthem
have.
We
have
created
an
epidemic
where
over
one
third
of
our
nation
is
obese.
Our
cultural
desire
for
individuality
has
created
a
sort
of
survival
way
of
thinking
that
is
frustrating
and
indifferent
to
our
condition.
In
the
text,
Nutrition
Through
The
Life
Cycle
it
explains
that
approximately
one
in
four
adolescents
have
elevated
cholesterol
levels,
one
of
the
causes
of
heart
disease.
It
has
been
estimated
that
over
79
million
adults
have
pre-diabetes,
an
effect
of
elevated
cholesterol.
25.6
million
of
those
are
diagnosed
and
an
additional
7
million
are
not.
(Brown)
Its
just
another
confirmation
that
we
are
much
more
likely
to
die
from
some
form
of
heart
disease.
The second most preventative way to solve this problem of heart disease is by adjusting
and
controlling
our
eating
habits.
Foods
rich
in
antioxidants
help
to
rebalance
(the)
free
radicals
in
our
diet.
Antioxidants
keep
these
free
radicals
from
causing
cellular
mutation,
tissue
breakdown
and
compromising
our
immune
system.
(Houston)
Some
antioxidant
rich
foods
we
can
add
to
our
diets
include
nuts,
blueberries,
whole
grain
oats,
tomatoes,
dark
leafy
greens,
and
beans.
We
also
need
to
keep
our
LDL
cholesterol
intake
low
because
they
have
also
been
known
to
contribute
to
fatty
buildup
in
the
arteries.
Sugar
also
has
a
serious
contribution
to
inflammation
in
the
arteries,
causing
our
heart
to
work
less
effectively.
The last factor that causes heart disease would be Smoking. Smoking mutates cellular
structure
causing
cancer.
Smoking
causes
particles
to
become
stuck
in
the
lungs,
irritating
them
and
causing
them
to
develop
a
thick
stick
mucus
as
a
defense
mechanism
to
protect
and
rid
itself
of
these
foreign
objects.
It
thus
makes
it
difficult
for
them
to
empty
the
air
out
of
our
lungs.
It doesnt matter if you put the cigarette in your mouth or if the wind happens to blow it
in
your
face
as
you
walk
past
someone
who
is
smoking.
Smoking
raises
your
triglycerides,
makes
your
blood
thicker
and
your
body
becomes
more
susceptible
to
forming
blood
clots.
If
cell
walls
become
so
damaged
that
they
can
no
longer
absorb
nutrients
properly
this
leads
to
many
additional
complications
including
type
2
diabetes,
rheumatoid
arthritis
and
lung
cancer.
So,
if
you
want
to
live
longer,
we
need
people
to
stop
smoking.
What heart disease all comes down to is effort because lowering our risk of death from
heart
disease
is
hard.
It
takes
a
long
term
effort
that
begins
in
childhood
and
stays
with
us
through
the
rest
of
our
life.
Change
is
a
commitment
that
is
as
difficult
as
it
is
next
to
impossible,
especially
when
our
nature
desires
consistency.
We
dont
like
it
when
we
are
wrong.
We
live
in
a
world
where
we
demand
more
than
the
best
of
everything.
The
best
steak,
at
the
best
price
and
the
best
life,
the
best
of
ourselves,
and
at
a
cost
that
a
lot
of
us
just
dont
want
to
accept.
So
we
keep
putting
it
off,
living
in
the
moment,
preparing
for
the
inevitable,
yet
never
truly
ready
to
face
up
to
our
failures.
Of course there are those who are born with certain conditions, racial and ethnic
determinants that link them to higher mortality rates. We call them pre-existing conditions that
either
develop
over
time
or
are
there
from
the
moment
we
enter
this
world.
These
are
what
makes
us
human
but
there
is
no
reason
we
should
be
leaving
personal
consequences
to
the
future
of
fate.
My father loved his Kool-aid and candy, and later got hooked on drugs. His final battle
came
when
he
contracted
a
bacteria
while
visiting
his
wife
in
the
hospital,
where
it
travelled
to
his
heart
causing
bacterial
endocarditis.
At
the
age
of
45
he
left
a
family
of
five
children,
ranging
in
age
from
27
to
17,
with
a
legacy
of
debt
and
looking
for
answers.
We never expected him to die, he was fairly healthy, trying to get clean, only slightly
overweight.
None
of
those
things
mattered
in
the
long
run
because
the
damage
was
not
from
any
single
condition.
In
my
opinion,
the
more
you
know
the
more
prepared
you
are
to
either
accept
or
fight
for
the
life
you
choose.
My story is not an unfamiliar one. There are many forms of heart disease takes
approximately
610,
000
people
in
the
United
States
every
year.
(CDC-Heart
disease
Facts)
They
leave
behind
families,
loved
ones
and
a
lot
of
unanswerable
questions.
We
do
not
go
through
death
on
our
own
but
it
is
given
to
us
so
that
we
can
prepare
and
learn
from
the
inevitable.
Its
is
an
inevitable
fact
of
life
that
we
are
all
meant
to
die,
so
we
should
be
dealing
with
it,
not
handing
the
responsibility
of
it
off
to
the
generations
that
follow.
Heart disease has precursors that are self-evident and highly preventable through our
activity
levels,
nutritional
eating
habits
and
our
level
of
exposure
to
smoking
carcinogens.
We
need
every
person
to
start
carrying
their
own
torch
for
heart
disease.
We
need
to
become
healthier
through
more
rigorous
physical
activity
and
nutritional
eating
habits.
Most
of
all
we
need
people
to
stop
smoking.
Our world does not revolve around one person, one solution, one right or wrong choice.
It
is
a
culmination
of
learning
and
then
doing.
We
have
spent
the
last
50
years
learning
and
then
ignoring
the
consequences
of
self-indulgence.
Now
we
must
work
toward
a
future
worthy
of
our
present
existence.
