Heart Attack Treatment

Something that we can do to help ourselves.

Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve under the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets.
There are other symptoms of an heart attack besidesthe pain on the left arm.
One must also be aware of an
intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating
, however these symptoms may also occur less frequently.

Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep, did not wake up.
However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.
If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water.
Afterwards call  911  - say "heart attack!"
- say that you have taken 2 aspirins..
- phone a neighbour or a family member who lives very close by
- take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and....
DO NOT lie down

A Cardiologist has stated that, if each person, after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life can be saved!


Heart Attack Symptoms

Symptoms of a heart attack include:
  • Discomfort, pressure, heaviness, or pain in the chest, arm, or below the breastbone
  • Discomfort radiating to the back, jaw, throat, or arm
  • Fullness, indigestion, or choking feeling (may feel like heartburn)
  • Sweating, nausea, vomiting, or dizziness
  • Extreme weakness, anxiety, or shortness of breath
  • Rapid or irregular heartbeats
During a heart attack, symptoms last 30 minutes or longer and are not relieved by rest or nitroglycerin under the tongue.

Some people have a heart attack without having any symptoms (a "silent" myocardial infarction). A silent MI can occur in any person, though it is more common among diabetics.

Fifty Shades of Grey

Fifty Shades of Grey

It's the book that's heating up bedrooms across the country! It's been called porn, erotica and way too hot for TV. Dr. Oz examines the medical case for why this book is re-energizing women's sexual health. What's hidden in "50 Shades of Grey" that could be your key to great sex?

 Find out if it's the spark to save your sex life.

When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him.

Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms. Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control.

When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires. Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.

Weight Loss Recipes

Here are some of the best weight loss recipes as seen on the Dr Oz Show.

Healthy Potato Skins

Potato skins are good for you, but the ones at chain restaurants can be loaded with fat and calories. Instead of being doused in butter and fried, this version uses an oil spray, turkey bacon and reduced-fat cheese.         

Ingredients
Potato Skins
4 medium russet potatoes
1 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese
8 tsp turkey bacon pieces
1 tbsp fresh chives
1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
Canola oil non-stick cooking spray
Salt

Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake the potatoes for 1 hour or until tender. When potatoes have cooled enough so you can handle them, make two lengthwise cuts through each potato, resulting in 3 1/2-3/4 inch slices. Discard the middle slices or save them for a separate dish of mashed potatoes. This will leave you with two potato skins per potato.

With a spoon, scoop some of the potato out of each skin, being sure to leave about 1/4 inch of potato inside the skin. Pop oven temperature up to 450°F. Spray the entire surface of each potato skin with a light coating of canola oil spray. Place the skins on a baking sheet, open side up, salt each one and take for 12-15 minutes or until the edges begin to brown.

Spread about 2 tablespoons of cheese on each potato skin. Sprinkle 1 tsp of bacon pieces on top of the cheese on each potato skin. Bake the skins for another 2-4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove the skins from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate. Combine the chives with the sour cream and serve in a small sauce cup in the center of the plate, with the skins arranged around the sour cream, like spokes on a wheel.

1 cup chopped frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and diced

Combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Add the steamed artichokes and spinach and place pan over medium/low heat, stirring often for 10 minutes or until simmering. Just before serving, you may wish to broil the dip in an oven-safe dish for 1 to 2 minutes (under high broil) or just until slightly brown on top. Arrange the diced tomato in a pile in the center of the dip and serve with crackers, toasted bread, pita chips or raw vegetables for dipping.

Healthy Mini Burgers

A healthy version of an American classic: the hamburger. Each one of these recipes includes a fat-burning trick to help you shed pounds without feeling deprived.

Instead of an all-beef burger, mix the beef with carmelized onions and mushrooms, to make the burger half-meat and half-veggie. That cut the calories in half and enhanced the tast! Plus, the onions have quercetin, an antioxidant that can help battle belly fat.

Sliders with Caramelized Onions and Mushrooms

Ingredients:
Makes 8 mini burgers
1 tbsp plus 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup (about 3 oz.) cremini mushrooms, stemmed and finely chopped
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 pound lean ground beef
8 whole wheat slider rolls
2 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced

Directions
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onions are soft and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in the oregano, parsley, and sea salt, turn off the heat and transfer to a medium bowl to cool.

Place the ground beef in a large bowl, add the cooled mushroom mixture, and gently fold the two together. Divide the ground beef mixture into 8 equal balls and then gently form each into semi-compact 2 1/2- to 3-inch thick patties. Split the rolls in half and brush the cut side with some of the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Set aside.

Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the burgers and grill on each side until browned, about 2 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to a plate while you grill the rolls, cut-sides down, until golden and etched with grill marks from the pan, about 1 minute. Place each patty on a bun bottom and top with a slice of tomato. Spread some honey mustard on the other bun half and top of the slider.

Turkey Burgers

Ingredients
Serves 4

Sauce
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp dark sesame oil
1 tsp water
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced

Burgers
1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped
1 tbsp chipotle adobo, finely chopped
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated and peeled
2 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1 pound ground turkey
4 (2-ounce) sandwich rolls with sesame seeds
1 cup arugula

Directions
Prepare grill. Then add onions, chipotle adobo, ginger, soy sauce, salt and ground turkey in a food processor and blend until coarsely ground. Divide mixture into four equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2 inch thick patty. Place patties on a grill rack and grill for approximately 4 minutes on each side or until done. Place rolls, cut side down, onto grill rack and grill for approximately 1 minute until toasted. Place 1 patty on the bottom half of each roll, topping with approximately 1/4 cup of arugula and 1 tablespoon of sauce; add top half of roll. To prepare sauce, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, water, rice vinegar and garlic, stir with a whisk until smooth.

Dr.Oz's Bonus Tips

Dr. Oz has these great Bonus tips at the end of his show and I missed them so often, but here are some of the best bonus tips.

Salad Dressing
Often when you apply a salad dressing to you salad, it pours out, so put your slad dressing in a seperate container on the side of your salad and dip you salad into the dressing, you will consume far less calories this way. And especially when you go to a restaurant, they often drown your salad with the dressing, it is so much more healthier to have the salad dressing on the side.

Portion Control

Rather than give up your desserts that you love, try putting your favorite dessert in a shot glass and then you get the sweet flavor you crave, but without the guilt of having a blown out your calorie intake for the day.

Another way to control your sugar intake, is take 6oz of your favorite juice and 6oz of water or soda water and mix them together and you get the taste of your favorite drink with half the calories.
