The risk of heart attack increases with age.Gender is also a risk factor. Men have a higher risk of heart attack than women and also tend to have heart attacks earlier in life. However, women have a greater chance of dying from a heart attack.

What should we do to avoid heart attack?
choose your parents wisely
Ehmm.. Actually the newest insights about cholesterol and fats are:
1) Saturated fats have NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER on human health (they do however on rabbits). Animal fat is safe, butter and cream are safe, avocado and coconut oil (vergin, cold pressed and not refined) are safe. We progressed to humans from primates on animal fats. We got unsaturated fats from fatty fish, meat and perhaps an olijve or two only. So, besides proof from clinical experiments, this is only logic in the light of evolution.
2) The so-called "heart healthy vegetable oils", or seed oils, are highly processed, unnatural, readily oxidized products.
Treated with solvents like hexane, with caustic soda, deodorized, treated at high temperatures, ALL nutrients are removed. They are NOT FOOD. Some 100 years ago companies found that they could use waste of cotton production to make industrial machine oil. Later they started to produce margarine from these oils (Crisco). Oils were "hardened" by adding hydrogen at high temperature and pressure.
After some time TRANSFATS were found to be very unhealthy and processes were changed. Yet, margarine remains unhealthy.
Up to this day we see advertisements for the poly unsaturated fats. ❤
The truth is, that these fats react easily with oxygen (become rancid).
This happens also in e.g. your skin when you are outside on the sun. UV light, these fats in your skin and oxygen make that you BURN easily. Now you have to by sun cream, SPF 50, to avoid skin cancer. (A better alternative is taking plenty of vitamin D3, combined with vitamin K2 and magnesium. If you can afford, have your D3 tested in a blood (serum sample). Go for 50-70 ng/ml or 150-175 nmol/l.)
A few years ago I banned all artificial oils from my kitchen, they ended in the trash can. Sunflower, rapeseed, soy oil, peanut oil, canola oil AND the BECEL margarine with the "super healthy" linolic fatty acid, ALL GONE.
This summer has had a record of sun hours in my country. Every moment I could, I walked, sun bathed etc.
This year I didn't use one drop of sun cream, and got a nice tan, absolutely no sun burn. Nada, nothing. Every few years all the cells in your body are replaced and it takes a few years to get rid of the unhealthy fats. So take your time.
Oh yes.. These poly unsaturated fats that get oxidized, cause low grade chronic inflammation in your body.
Together with sugars and refined carbs, this is the main cause of metabolic syndrome. Packaged processed food is not better than junk food. Prepare your own food like your great grand mother did, seriously!
I think this is cause #1, together with smoking and too much alcohol.

@@RickMartinRUclips some people just don’t enjoy social interactions in general. And that’s fine.
That’s probably true of you and quite a number of people but generally indicative of family dysfunction, poor primary relationship building in early childhood, severe bullying in childhood, personality or developmental disorder, etc.
While I understand that no one wants to made to feel strange or abnormal I’m not sure it’s helpful to describe this as “fine”. I know people who have overcome serious anxiety over social interaction to ultimately develop wonderful relationships and happy families of their own.
This, of course is different from simple introversion. What you describe is probably beyond introversion.

Want to improve your cholesterol...the cholesterol that matters, say goodbye to sugar, high fructose corn syrup, refined processed foods, and omega-6 rich seed oils. Instead, eat real food. Meat, cheese, eggs, fish, chicken, seeds, nuts, veggies, butter, cheese, avocado, mushrooms. Try to avoid starchy foods that metabolize quickly in the liver like potatoes, rice, peas, corn, pasta, breads. If you do choose to have a starchy food with your dinner, make sure to eat a salad or something with a high fiber content before you eat it. The result will be a much slower and controlled digestion and a smoother and more controlled absorption of the starch and a slower more even release of glucose into the blood. A good example is Pizza night! Everyone loves pizza, including me. Eat a hearty bowl of salad before your first slice. You'll devour less pizza, but more importantly, the pizza you do consume will be greatly slowed in it's digestion by the fiber in the salad greens.
Solid Advice. I had a triple heart bypass 8 years ago from doing exactly the opposite of the above advice for decades. I'm on point since the operation with nearly all of your recommendations and probably even bettering some areas.
I like that you reconize that its a packaged deal. Most plant based doctors only deal with just diet. As you point out, theres a lot more to it than that. There is your mental health (stress), physical fitness, the social aspect and the destructive addictions like Smoking/Alcohol/Drug/other addictions. I think only Dr. Dean Ornish comes close to addressing all these points every single time while guys like Essenstyn, Furhman, McDougall, Bernard, Klapper are all diet, diet, diet. You would not hear too much talk in the books of the renowned heart specialist Dr. Esselstyn about mental health (stress), exercise or destructive addictions or behaviours. That is very strange as heart disease is not all down to diet alone. I did as much serious damage in smoking about quarter of a million cigarettes as i did with my junk food eating.
Thank you! Well compiled video from health expert. It shows steps how to decrease occurrence of cardiac arrest.
0:39 “Age” is just as much of a risk factor for suffering heart attacks as it is for developing arterial hypertension. That is, highly dependent on lifestyle factors whose cumulative effects increase over time (that is, with “age”).
@PaulB_864, is obesity an age-related disease? It takes most people decades to become obese.
I would like to see this kind of public health video being shown on social media outlets run by the individual NHS authorities here in the UK.
Good habits lead to the best health..Dr Mike thanks again ⭐️
Thank you for watching
@@DoctorMikeHansen Your Welcome alway Dr Mike ..Bless👍
@@DoctorMikeHansen can u. Telll me why women pre menopause survive higher from. Heart attacks than men
Not that Dr. Mike is wrong, but I would like to input something here.
I am a 57 year old male. No family history of heart disease.
Very active healthy lifestyle at 168 lbs.
My triglycerides are 52.
My HDL is 47
My LDL is 128
These were my numbers 1 week ago...taken right after I had a heart attack.
So, if you think you're exempt for whatever reason, you're fooling yourself.
you might also be missing something or be doing too much exercise. marathon runners sometines get heart attacks bc stress the body too much
Maybe not enough fat/vit d/vitk in your diet, causing calcium to accumulate in your blood vessels.
Thank you. I had a heart attack as a 55 year old thin fit woman with moderately elevated ldl. I had a 2 percent chance. These people think they are in control. Ha. I exercised the day before my heart attack!
@@jojonotche8917bs. There are some risk factors you cannot control like air pollution.
When it comes to exercise, the most important factor to reduce the chance of a heart attack is having a high VO2max. The highter it is, the less chances you have to get a heart problem. Dr Peter Attia has some good videos and podcasts on this subject
Turns out the Spike Protein damages the endothelial lining of the heart vessels. Shouldn't you have added that to your list?
Yes, you must protect your endothelial glycocalyx at all cost, for many, high blood glucose and pressure damages it. Two very interesting supplement that may help are (arterosil hp) and (endocalyx pro).
This video is timely! I just got my bloodwork, my ldl is super high but my HDL and Triglycerides is in 70’s. So time to go back to IF and eating better diet. Thank you for these video’s. ❤
Hopefully you can get on top of your health. Adding various vitamins to your diet can also help!
Thanks Dr H. Great video! Puts my mind at eat with TG:55, HDL:65, but LDL:135 and APO-B of 100. I’ll go with the TG:HDL ratio of < 1 and call it a day!
wow i have no idea what u js said
My stats : TG 420, HDL 40
Not fair that people who smoke pay the same health care rates as those conscious about their health.
Worry about yourself and your life
Dr. Mike thanks for sharing your videos are educational and life-saving. We aren't taught all of these details in school. Thanks for helping!
Agree, seems too many docs still stuck on the low fat and saturated fat diets needed for good health. Carbs way more important to limit to minimum.
In this life death an hardship is for certain, nobody can escape from those things, this journey in our short human life we can just prepare an meditate an live proper. Just like the season from spring to fall as the leaves turn….. that’s how short it is for us.
Thank you Dr. Mike. I find this video very helpful. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge because reading a blood test result is like reading French and you need to look up many things and still you are lost and confused.
How do I prevent a SCAD heart attack? I had one 4 months ago. I have low cholesterol and low blood pressure. I’m in my early 40s and I love fitness and working out. Thank you for your advice.
Families are there for us, how we treat families n their respond makes a difference..
Don't blame n live better ❤
No doubt, the high price of quality and healthy foods make it very difficult to eat properly. However, you do have choices to make. For instance, you can buy a bag of chips for $3.99 or a bag of vegetables for around the same price, maybe even a little less. Nuts and fish are a different story and as of this writing (01-26-24) we’re dealing with high inflation. Historically, lower income households bought “junk foods”because they were the affordable choice. There’s also the matter of self control and overeating! I’ve made poor choices in every area I’ve mentioned, yet I continue to make efforts to control my weight. One area is how heavy i allow myself to get. I refuse to buy larger clothing. Choices!
Agreed diet places a massive part, plenty of other lifestyles factors that contribute to poor heart conditions.
Thanks for all the great content👍
There's a lot of contradictory information now regarding using Statins to lower your LDL's. Effectiveness and side effects. Can you do a deep dive in this? Seems a lot of doctors are still going off very old studies and information here.
My grandmother had heart attack last night. Please pray for her
What is the definition of processed food? Is it about removal of bran, added sugar, added salt, or other things? Is the addition of sugars and carbs really the biggest issue for processed food?
One other issue is the use of"vegetable oils or seed oils. See my remarks elsewhere in this section where I exposing the effects of these poly unsaturated fats.
@@rreddingwould like to know what foods contain unhealthy amounts of vegetable oil please.
@@dannyhernandez265 In principle most 'produced "foods" '. You can test this by reading the ingredients list. In my country a lot of sunflower and rape seed / canola oil is used. But also Arachide and others. ALL margerines are ultra processed products (not food), fabricated from vegetable oils.
ALL so-called plant based "meats", like Beyond Meat are ultra-processed unhealthy products and contain these oils. You can read it in the ingredients list. So not only sugar, refined and powdered carbs, artificial sweeteners, emulators, high fructose corn syrup, invert sugar, modified starches, hydrogenated oils, and colourings, as well as de-foaming, bulking, and bleaching agents, but also your average seed oils are on the food label.
Even products where you wouldn't expect vegetable oils like ready meals for the microwave, contain these fats and oils.
Salad oil, frying oils, fried products like French fries, frozen French fries, salad dressing, chips, cookies and pies, ice cream. Snack bar food, fast food.
Personally, I skip 90% of the supermarket isles (the mid sections). I only buy natural products, almost nothing with a barcode or ingredients list longer than, say, 4 or 5 ingredients.
I switched from White Rice to Brown Rice and from White Breads to Whole Wheats Breads. - No more sodas or doughnuts except for rare occasions.
What is the effect of long day water fast in reducing inflammation.
No research that saturated fat is correlated with heart attack
👍
Nattokinase. I'm a pre-menopausal man. Joking aside, mitophagy is very interesting. I like my 4-day fasts. Every time I do one, everything snaps back into a normal program. Insoluble fibre also is a cleansing mechanism for the GI tract. This stimulates a healthy repair, while feeding a proper gut biome.
Just looking at the report sent by a cardiologist to my family doctor after a coronary angiogram. He states that HDL is now a relatively unreliable parameter, contrary to earlier long held assertions. The APOB level is now considered the most significant parameter.
What about the theory of the Crease in the ear lobe as a 80% predictor of future AMI will happen to that person?
Creases in the ear lobe are common in people over 60.
This is great thank you. My LDL was 100 for the first time in my life! I've always had great cholesterol numbers. I eat organic but although I don't do it much, I need to reduce the processed food. Lately I've been bad at that
But what about your triglycerides and hdl? I hope they were good.

Good list but also 4 or more sauna sessions for 20 mins lowers heart attack risk by around 60%
thanks
@@RickMartinRUclips I’m surprised, it’s been talked about a lot and not just cvd prevention also alzheimers dementia and 40% lower all risk mortality. Iv heard a 20 minute sauna might be better than exercise for prevention. But both sounds ideal.
@@knockingseeker I am contemplating how sauna might take some load off the kidneys, especially to extend the dialysis interval.
@@wisconsinfarmer4742 when I have eaten high protein i can smell the ammonia in my sweat and particularly feel fresher after a good sweat session compared to how I’m eating now with lower protein. Deffinately seems like it would take some of the load of the kidneys. But you would need to be extra careful with hydration, drink heaps of good quality water. I would think that avoiding things like salt and high protein and toxins would help more than sauna for kidney health.
Also certain foods and herbs like nettle leaf tea will help support them.
@@knockingseeker good thoughts. My Native American aunt has had two transplants. She does not follow good habits.
25gr of sugar sounds like loads, right? How about less than 50gr of carbs/day like for Keto? Of which there are preferably no (added) sugars? Because sugars are often the 50% fructose sugars which the liver and pancreas for 80% need to break down and has an impact on the liver. I am confused now.
Exactly what is wrong with eating steak if LDL is not nearly as important as HDL and TGL?
What about natural sugar? Should we restrict that too?
HDL level modification doesn't directly related to risk reduction. So, any ratios with HDL aren't realible at all. Pay attention to TG, LDL, ideally LDL should be less than 60.
You are correct - my cardiologist said getting your HDL over 40 isnt going to add years to your life. Controlling the other things will - LDL, TRI, etc...
No mention of seed oils?
How about lectins in grains and nuts? Are they dangerous for your intestinal wall lining? Thanks.
only under specific conditions
A doctor told me that putting fruit in a smoothie destroys most of the beneficial fiber, making smoothies contribute to insulin resistance.
Eat well and you'll die healthy.
How do you raise hdl cholesterol? Everyone says its important but no one says how you should raise it.
Is eating roll oat for fibre a good thing?
thanks for everything. But i pass at 8:24 :). In my opinion digestion starts in our mouths and using smoothies destroys part of the process. I wont try to explain, am not a specialist :). THanks again
Chewing activates nitric oxide production, that is why they say do not use mouthwash, which kills good bacteria.
If we go carnivore or a similar very low carb/sugar diet, we don't need fibers to slow down digestion because one way or another, we will feel full for a longer time and never get insulin spikes
Process food made with whole grains contains insoluble fibers, correct?
I've seen videos from "well known" doctors and qualified experts stating that blending foods (smoothies) breaks down the fiber and makes it less effective or not effective at all. Anyone care to opine on this?
Hi, I don't eat meat, my problem is green veggies like broccoli, brussels or actually any fiberous veggies cause horrible flatulance. Do these veggie pills and fruit pills do the same. Do they work at all. I make fresh bread and eat a lot of that, which is just sugar. The flatulance pills don't seem to do anything. What do you suggest. Thanks, I love your YT channel.
Well what now you need veggie pills. Broccoli, Brussels give you discomfort. The world getting sicker and worse day by day
Tried oregano pills?
Actually its been reported recently that saturated fats are not actually a threat to heart disease. Carbs excess carbs is the actual issue. Too many carbs too much insulin.
Linus Pauling wrote about heart attacks, inflammation and importance of Vit C's role decades ago. I wonder why you don't mention calcification of arteries when supplementing with Vit D WITHOUT K1/K2 which insures that calcium goes into bones where it belongs vs hardening arteries. 🙏🏻 include this in your excellent segments. Sadly very few doctors who recommend D supplement ever add K requirement.
Many people who get a zero or low calcium score still have blockages and heart attacks. It’s smart to sup with k2 with d as it stops calcification and lower risk but calcification from low k is a smaller cause than the ones he mentions.
This is true
Yes, you are correct! A small side note.. Bioabsorbable Magnesium goes with the D3.. A supplement, or a load of dark leaf veggies...
@@knockingseeker Yes, a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score to detect hard plaque and a carotid intima-media thickness test (CIMT) to detect soft plaque.

Doc, great vids! Funny too. I subscribed.
Good tips but I am surprised you included saturated fats as something to avoid. Hasn't the American College of Cardiology reversed its opinion and no longer considers it a negative? Thanks.
I was surprised too. I thought saturated fat being bad is a myth.
@wildflower-web Sugar and simple carbohydrates are worse for everyone overall, and saturated fats are bad for many people -- so, unless you know you are not one of those people, they just tell you to avoid it. Salmon, sardines, and walnuts, olive oil, olives, and avocados, won't hurt anyone except a tiny number, and those know who they are, because they have a genetic condition and had high lipids their whole lives.
3:38 thanks but what about TG:HDL for Asian?
Asprin is good for heart desease
Do I need to eat insoluble fiber with every single meal? Or is it ok to get 25-30 grams in one or two meals and none on the third?
Hey Doc. Can you remember that your videos are seen by people other than Americans so please present the figures, for example from mg/dL to mmo/L together. Saves the hassle of noting and converting. Thanks. Interesting content.
That would be considerate, but I think if you're using different measurements it's up to you to do the conversion. Easy online in the search bar.
@@thatswhatisaidCA No, it’s part of communicating with your audience.

@@adrian-4767 hi Adrian, I mostly use avocado oil and grass fed butter. Then sometimes olive oil and very occasionally coconut oil, but the unrefined versions.
Excellent post dude. This demonization of Saturated Fat should end. RED MEAT HAS THE BEST AMINO ACIDS FOR THE HEART. Just the Lysine found in RED MEAT prevents heart problems and Neutralizes Lp(a). WHY DO I NEVER HEAR A DOCTOR MENTION Lp(a)??????????????? And some people are not gonna accept this: but the moment I started a CARNIVORE DIET my Triglycerides crashed to 75 mg/dl. and my HDL sky rocketed.
Agree. Humans have evolved to eat saturated fat as the primary fuel source for hundreds of thousands of years. In extremes of the northern hemisphere plants do not even grow for 8+ months of the year. That means zero carbs, fiber or sugar was consumed for vast periods. Humans have developed multiple systems for digesting and extracting nutrients from saturated fat. Blaming saturated far for heart attacks defies basic common sense.
Well said.
You are the best! 🙏
Please make a video of healthy smoothies. I've always find either bad tasting ones or too sugary.
thanks guys, will check
RUclips university got many recipes..
My GP does blood tests without requiring fasting….is that bad ? It surprised me.
Why should i be concerned about Cholesterol? I mean if this entire cholesterol hypothesis has been debunked, and the real culprit has been revealed as chronically high levels of insulin and inflammation, and that inflammatory foods such as HFCS and the 22 to 1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 seed oils, which are responsible for the smallest "Bullet" version of LDL cholesterol. Then why should we be concerned about lowering total cholesterol. There's no danger in LDL or vLDL. I believe if memory serves, it's i-vLDL that is what seeps through the cracks in the arterial wall and lodges itself in the inflamed area.
Reducing stress with tobacco.... is that count for even?
What about if you have IBS. Fibre goes right through me
@4:19 That range (between 70 and 300) for LDL cholesterol is not correct. LDL value should be less than 100 mg/dL.More than 100 is considered high (mine is 211mg/dL - very high, unfortunately).
Thank you so much sir 🙏
The rock star fruit for fiber has to be passion fruit or maracuya: "When eaten with the seeds, passion fruit provides a significant source of fiber. A cup of passion fruit with the pulp and seeds contains 24.5 grams of fiber - the equivalent of more than 4 cups of bran cereal!

What measurement are you using? Where I live, cholesterol higher than 5.5 is not good. How do I convert to compare numbers and ratios you're using?
To convert Total cholesterol, LDL and HDL from mg/dL to mmol/L, divide the value in mg/dL by 38.67. To convert from mmol/L to mg/dL, multiply the value in mmol/L by 38.67. To convert Triglyceride values from mg/dL to mmol/L, divide the value in mg/dL by 88.57. (from internet)

I had a heart attack (I didn't pass out) three years ago at 37 due to years of bad cholesterol and not taking cholesterol medication. I end up with seven stents. Since then, I made big lifestyle changes and taking all prescribed medications. If I continue my medication, lifestyle changes, and lose weight, what are my chances of living long enough to see 75?
Good if you take care of your self, some old friends of mine❤
Did or do you keep track of your blood glucose / triglycerides? For me, that is the real culprit.
Don’t get hit by a bus and might be ok 😂
We are very similar; 42 for me - 7 years ago and 5 stents. I’m into keeping fit and used to play sports regularly; but family history and stress I think. I have improved diet- reducing sugar, mainly med diet (when looking at all studies there seems no definitive/ so I go for common denominators!…and med diet is close to that). So I’m running my 5k’s, doing body weight and dumbbell workouts and taking it a bit easier with work (as much as I can). I hope to also see my late 70’s!. I think medical advancements will help us both - new imaging allows to see inside stents for a start… so non-invasive check-ups will be easier. Good health my friend. You can buy me a pint when I’m 75😁.
Thanks for all the insights. What are your thoughts on takin Niacin vs Statins?

Please comment on the risks associated with smoking cannabis.
Was able to reduce Triglycerides from 2.53(225) down to 0.67(60), with 2.53 down to 1.5 on 20mg Rosuvastatin then from 1.5(133) down to 0.67(60) taking 1000mg give or take of wild fish oils (standard Kirkland/Costco brand).
HDL only up to 1.1(43) though
I was on that statin for two weeks. My brain was foggy, my legs felt like spaghetti, my knee started aching horribly, I couldn’t keep control of my blood sugar, for me I wasn’t quite sure how they were going to make me better since high blood sugar and and inflammation cause heart attack!
My Doctor along with many of the medical videos state most recently that having good HDL does not cancel out LDL that is high... I had borderline high LDL with HDL of 60 for many years my doctor said I did not need a statin because the good HDL cancelled out the bad now I'm worried because he was wrong.
I am not a Dr, but if it was me, I would have a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score, which can detects hard plaque and a carotid intima-media thickness test (CIMT), which can detect soft plaque. Also, maintain a healthy blood glucose and blood pressure, which is needed in order to keep your endothelial glycocalyx in good shape.
My LDL is 153 and HDL like 62 and I was prescribed a statin but I’m hesitant to take it,I don’t like pills unless absolutely necessary.
