Brianne Callahan, 38, of Moorestown, New Jersey, suffered a heart attack from Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection, commonly known as SCAD, while skiing with her family in Vermont.

Brianne Callahan noticed the symptoms. After all, it was difficult to miss the feeling of an elephant sitting on her chest.

But she initially failed to recognize the serious message they were sending, figuring she was still getting back into shape after having her fourth child a few months earlier.

Despite experiencing shortness of breath and pain in her right arm during a family trip last year, Callahan told herself to push through the pain. She skied a Vermont mountain for another two days.

15 Heart Healthy Nutrients

 It is best to prevent the serious heart conditions by eating sensibly!

 Coronary heart disease (CHD) occurs when plaque builds up inside your arteries. This build-up will eventually lead to atherosclerosis, which is basically the hardening of your arteries. Too much plaque inside your arteries will narrow, and reduce blood flow to your heart.

The smaller the blood flow, the less oxygen your heart gets. As a result you may start experiencing coronary heart disease symptoms such as chest pain, discomfort, pressure, tightness, dizziness, weakness or fatigue when you exercise or feel stressed.

Garlic Compares Favorably To A Best-Selling Blood Pressure Drug

Garlic To Unclog Arteries




 Garlic is a  very healthy vegetable and is beneficial for many ailments.  However, many people are put off by the odour it leaves which is a great shame.


  A groundbreaking new study published in Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences has revealed that garlic is at least as effective as the blockbuster blood pressure lowering drug atenolol in reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients diagnosed with essential hypertension, a condition linked to the #1 cause of death in developed countries.[1]
Hypertension is called a 'silent killer,' as it often goes completely unnoticed, along with the decades long subclinical march of atherosclerosis that is largely the cause of elevated blood pressure, often culminating suddenly in a deadly cardiovascular event such as a heart attack or stroke.
