Heart attacks and other heart problems often result in sudden death. It turns out that there are habits that trigger heart attacks that you should be aware of. Certain habits do increase the risk of heart problems, such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood flow to part of the heart stops suddenly, usually due to a blockage in the coronary arteries. This blockage inhibits the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle, causing damage to heart tissue. If not treated immediately, a heart attack can be fatal. The main cause of a heart attack is coronary heart disease (CHD). This disease occurs when plaque, which consists of cholesterol, fat, and other substances, builds up on the walls of the coronary arteries. This process is called atherosclerosis. Over time, this plaque can rupture, forming a blood clot that can block blood flow to the heart. Apparently not only that because ...

Omega-6 is a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid that is essential for the human body, meaning the body cannot produce it itself and must be obtained through food. Omega-6, along with omega-3, plays a role in various biological functions that are important for health. Omega-6 fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, are essential in supporting cellular function, growth, and development. Omega-6 plays a role in the formation of cell membranes and the production of compounds that help regulate inflammation. In the right amounts, omega-6 can support healthy skin, hair, and strengthen the immune system. Fish, although better known as a source of omega-3, also contain omega-6 in varying amounts. Several types of fish such as salmon, tuna, and sardines contain omega-6 which is important for the balance of fatty acids in the body. Omega-6 in fish contributes to heart and blood vessel health by he...
