Signs Of A Heart Attack In Women

I was 60 and in good health. I was not super skinny, but my weight was under control. I had eaten healthy most of my life. I exercised. I could not be having a heart attack…and yet I was. All my friends and family were surprised, yet I have a strong family history of heart problems on my dad’s side. I had thought my healthy lifestyle would protect me.

Now I know that I had had several warning signs over the year before, but I didn’t recognize them. A few times when working hard or exercising, I would break out in a sweat and feel very nauseous for 30 minutes or longer. And that is how it all started 9 years ago. I had gone to my church to help with a Fall Festival when I suddenly broke out in a sweat and start feeling extremely nauseous. An older lady in my church saw I was not feeling well and asked me to come inside and sit with her. That terrible sick feeling was just getting worse, but I had no chest pain or pain down my arm so I would have never guessed a heart attack. My friend recognized what was happening and called 911. I spent 8 days in the hospital following what they called a significant heart attack.

I don’t want another lady to miss the signs of a possible heart attack and possibly wait too long to get help so here are some of the warning signs for a woman from the American Heart Association.

Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back.
Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
Other signs such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.
As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain.

If you have any of these symptoms, call 911 or get to a hospital right away!! Don’t wait—you just might save a life-YOURS.

Why Should You Walk?

We know we need activity-exercise in our lives! But what kind of exercise? Most experts agree that we need Aerobic (Cardio), Strength, Balance and Flexibility. Many people emphasize only one type of exercise—like Aerobic or Strength, but to stay strong and healthy, incorporate all four into your life.

In this Blog article, let’s discuss Aerobic, or Cardio, Exercise. These could include, walking, running, swimming, biking, dancing – actually anything that will get your heart rate up and cause you to breathe harder. Even such activities as playing with your children or working in your yard could be part of your Aerobic activity. Web MD reports that walking can lower your risk of heart attacks and strokes. It is also good for those who have type 2 Diabetes. If you have Arthritis, walking strengthens your leg and core muscles. As your strengthened muscles do more of the work, your joints will hurt less. Walking is also a weight bearing exercise and those of us with osteopenia or osteoporosis need to consider walking to strengthen our bones.

Ladies Are Special Every Day!

This is a special time of the year when we honor mothers—shouldn’t we be doing that every day? I believe ladies (whether they are mothers are not) have special abilities to nurture, encourage and just care about their worlds (families, neighbors, friends……) and make a huge difference.

We are all aware that men and women have many differences and we celebrate those differences. I thought you might like to read a few fun facts I discovered about these differences—many we already know!!

Women Have Sexual Needs TOO!!

Sexuality is a part of life! Healthy relationships thrive when these things are present: Love, affection and sexual intimacy. As teenagers, we couldn’t imagine anyone ever needing “help” in this area. But the truth is, we sometimes encounter sexual problems for many reasons—medications that interfere with desire and/or performance, daily stresses, chronic illnesses, etc. For years, the focus has been on a man’s sexual health. It has been written about—whispered about—and products marketed for a man’s sexual health and enjoyment. As WOMEN, we sometimes need help too!! Women, this is all about you and your sexual needs!!

Have You Heard About the Skinny Bean?

It’s the story of my life!! “I need to lose a few pounds—or maybe more than a few pounds.” I know I will be healthier overall and my joints will thank me for the decreased pounds. So why can’t I just do it?

I think there are all times when we need that extra encouragement—maybe a buddy to start a nutrition program with—or a supplement that will be good for my body and at the same time help me to control those overeating/snacking urges.

I worked for a doctor many years ago and remember being amazed at the positive changes often brought about in a person’s health (blood pressure, blood tests, etc) when that person lost even a small percentage of his/her body weight. Too often we set unrealistic goals for ourselves! We start on these strict, food choice limiting diets only to fail in a short time because it is almost impossible to eat like this forever—or for an extended period of time. But we still want to lose some weight and we want to be healthier overall.

On your next doctor’s visit, wouldn’t you love to happily step on the scales knowing that you have achieved weight loss. How about the clothes hanging in the back of your closet that are just a little too snug for comfort? What about having more energy (with less pounds to carry around) and being more active with your family and friends?

UltaLife has several supplements to assist you with your weight-loss journey. Today we want to introduce you to the white kidney bean, which has sometimes been called the “skinny bean”.

Tips for Building Muscle Fast

When working out, you need to be mindful about building muscle. You may not see much of a difference on the scale if you’re burning fat and putting on muscle mass. Understand that it’s a process but one that will pay off in the long run. That’s why it’s important to keep in mind what types of exercises help you lose weight and which ones strengthen and tone your body.

Here are some tips for building muscle fast:

Start lifting weights. Find a personal trainer who is willing to work with you. They’ll be able to provide you with muscle-building exercises that are right for your body type, age, and activity level. Make sure to ask a lot of questions so that you know what to do when you’re lifting alone.
Eat carbs following a workout. Carbs are what give you energy throughout the day. Make sure that you include plenty of carbohydrates in your diet so that you don’t have to dip into your proteins to keep you going. The more carbs you eat, the longer your body stays in an anabolic state.
Include a lot of protein in your diet. Muscle is made of protein, and protein is needed to keep your muscles in good shape. Keep in mind that if you’re planning on bodybuilding, you’ll need one to two grams of protein for every pound of weight on your body. If you’re 200 pounds, you’ll need at least 200 grams of protein a day.
Eat often. Now that you’re burning more calories, you’re going to need to consume more calories, too. Break down your 4,000 calorie daily limit into six meals and you have approximately 660 calories per meal to work with.
Use Nitric Oxide Booster daily. Increase strength, reduce recovery time, and build muscle by adding our product to your diet. You’ll benefit from using it regularly and it will help you inside and outside the gym.

Now that you know what to do to build muscle fast, you can start working on your physique. It’s not all about lifting weights. There are other ways to build muscle quickly as mentioned above.
