let’s talk about how to reverse engineer a heart  attack this is the number one reason why people  

die on the planet heart attacks okay so i think  it’s important to reverse engineer this problem  

and see what you can do to avoid getting this  problem so typically what happens is the artery  

becomes blocked and that shuts off blood supply to  the heart muscle and the heart cramps and you die  

now if you can go into the future with a heart  attack and let’s say you didn’t die but you had  

a heart attack you might be reflecting back on  your life and saying gosh what what could i have  

done differently were there any clues to tell me  this was coming okay i want to tell you a little  

story i um i had this red truck it’s a pickup  truck there’s a piece of crap and the engine was  

doing all these different things and i noticed  these uh lights were going on the dashboard  

the engine was getting overheated all the  stuff right and i could have just kept driving  

but i pulled off to the gas station and i looked  at the engine i didn’t see anything and i happened  

to open up the valve where the coolant is right  there’s no any freeze so i’m driving this truck  

without anything to cool it down right i’m  like oh my gosh i’m so glad i paid attention  

to that warning sign and did something about  it so with a heart attack there’s all sorts of  

warning signs that your body will typically give  you okay but not all the time because over fifty  

percent of heart attacks there’s no symptoms  okay so unfortunately there’s not these clues  

but when there is clues that’s a good thing we  should not ignore these clues one of the biggest  

problems that i see with people is when they go  to the doctor they’re covering up these clues with  

medications like for example shortness of breath  which could mean that there’s a problem with the  

heart and then the person gets on a medication  called atrovent to cover up that symptom right  

problem is still there but now we don’t have the  awareness that it’s there then we have high blood  

pressure right let’s treat that with lisinopril  cover up the symptom problem’s still there right  

but without the awareness other symptoms that  there’s some type of blockage in the heart  

especially with the heart muscle is when you get  chest pain when you exercise or go through stress  

that’s a that’s a really big clue or you might  get weakness when you’re climbing up stairs right  

because you’re stressing the heart which is a  pump supposed to push blood to the body to carry  

oxygen and if you can’t do that you’re going  to have problems when you exert yourself okay  

you might have more fatigue when you exercise all  clues that could help you investigate this more  

and potentially see if there’s a problem there  so you can then do something about it okay now  

with the chest pain there’s going to be either a  pain down into the left shoulder down into the arm  

into the jaw or up through back through here  okay so that’s that’s one thing you should know  

but the most important thing which is not really  emphasized with heart attacks is that it usually  

starts with endothelial dysfunction okay what  does that mean it means there’s damage on the  

inside of the arteries especially the coronary  artery on the heart so that gives us a really  

good idea of what causes this problem some type of  oxidation or inflammation on that artery that then  

creates a cascade of effects of cholesterol  building up protein calcium deposits etc  

and what’s supposed to protect that inside of  the artery is vitamin e very important vitamin c  

very very important and one of the biggest things  that will cause the destruction of vitamin e and  

vitamin c is you guessed it glucose and other  types of sugars as well as refined carbohydrates  

okay all those carbohydrates are going to deplete  the antioxidants and create this inflammation in  

your arteries and so if you’re new to my channel  i put a link down below of what you need to do  

if you’ve been watching my channel this is just  another reminder of why you should do healthy keto  

in intermittent fasting and so you want to look  at symptoms as warning signs as communications  

from your body to tell you there’s a problem but  symptoms are not the problem and as you treat  

these symptoms realize you must also understand  the symptom and do something to actually fix  

the reason why it’s there in the first place  thank you so much for watching i will see you  

in the next video hey before you go if  you’re benefiting from any of my content  

i would love to hear about your success  story please share it in the link down below
