Although there are many causes of heart attacks, some are even still largely unknown, there are a handful of lifestyle reasons that can contribute to the attack. I present to you my own Ten steps to a heart attack.

10. Smoke. We all know that smoking is dangerous to your health, to your cardiovascular system, especially your heart. When you smoke, your arteries clog, raising your blood pressure, making you doubly prone to heart attack compared to those who do not smoke.

9. Drink too much, or not enough. Drinking around twelve ounces of beer, five ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor is actually good for your heart, but drink more than that, or less, is not effective. When you drink too much, alcohol raises your blood pressure making you at risk of heart attack.

8. Vegetate. By not exercising regularly, to deprive your body of much needed energy to reduce stress, reduce cholesterol levels, cure hypertension, or reduce excess weight. Being sedentary will make you more prone to a heart attack.

7. Get angry. Simply getting angry can increase your chances of suffering from heart attack. Getting angry can be just as dangerous as health related causes because the rise in blood pressure can lead to a heart attack.

6. Losing control of your cholesterol. Cholesterol level goes up when you eat unhealthy foods, foods with saturated and trans saturated fats, and foods that are not rich in nutrients. When your cholesterol goes up, your chances of having a heart attack also goes up.

5. Get stressed out. Getting stressed out raises your blood pressure, and leads to heart disease and heart attacks.

4. Lose control of your blood pressure. If your blood pressure goes above normal, the heart compensates by working harder to push blood through, which can cause it to enlarge, which in turn can cause heart attacks.

3. Don’t take your health serious enough. If you don’t take care of your health, you may develop heart attack symptoms. You must give importance to your health everyday to keep your heart healthy.

2. Over exert yourself. When you exert yourself too much, your stress level causes your blood pressure to rise, and increases your chances of having a serious heart attack. If you are already prone to heart attack from other causes, you should avoid over exerting yourself.
