Have you or someone you know suffered a heart attack? Survival may be a laughing matter. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. A study that was released at a past European Society of Cardiology annual meeting shows that heart patients are five times more likely to die if they develop depression or anxiety, while those who were not depressed had an eighty percent less likely risk of death. This is why staying positive through the process of recovery is so vital. If you have heart disease and signs of depression, like feelings of sadness, lack of energy, or the desire to sleep more than eight hours, talk to your doctor. Also, be sure to take natural anti-depressant measures, such as exercise and good nutrition. A brisk walk each morning and evening, coupled with the reduction in sugar and processed carbohydrates has been proven to improve mood and health. Also, turn off the news and war movies and opt for comedies and good books instead. There is so much you can do improve your chances of surviving heart disease, so start today. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a global leader in preventative and proactive medicine. Call us today at 800-910-EXEC or visit EMTexas.com
