Heart Attack

According to National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a section of heart muscle becomes blocked. If the flow of blood isn’t restored quickly, the section of heart muscle becomes damaged from lack of oxygen and begins to die.

Heart attacks occur most often as a result of a condition called Coronary artery disease(CAD). In CAD, a fatty material called plaque (plak) builds up over many years on the inside walls of the coronary arteries (the arteries that supply blood and oxygen to your heart). Eventually, an area of plaque can rupture, causing a blood clot to form on the surface of the plaque. If the clot becomes large enough, it can mostly or completely block the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the part of the heart muscle fed by the artery.

During a heart attack, if the blockage in the coronary artery isn’t treated quickly, the heart muscle will begin to die and be replaced by scar tissue. This heart damage may not be obvious, or it may cause severe or long-lasting problems.

Severe problems linked to heart attack can include heart failure and life-threatening arthythmias (irregular heartbeats). Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can’t pump enough blood throughout the body. Ventricular fibrillation is a serious arrhythmia that can cause death if not treated quickly.

According to Dr. Theodore Baroody in his book Alkalize or Die, excess acids negatively affects the heart. Please note that the principal tissue acid that affects the heart is called cholesterol. Eating alkaline foods is a solution to the problem of excess tissue acids, but drinking AO ionized alkaline water is a more simple and effective way of flushing out acid waste from our body. Combine your eating of organic alkaline foods with the drink of AO ionized alkaline water for the best health results.
