The best way
to deal with cardiac emergencies is by going for the indispensable CPR classes.
Healthcare providers should absolutely make it a point to go for the classes in
order to face cardiac emergencies efficiently. The most appropriate program for
them is the “BLS For Healthcare Providers Tampa” program in which the students will get to learn the
resuscitation techniques of chest compressions and rescue breaths. Proper
administration of the techniques can revive the life of a cardiac arrest or
heart attack victim. For training, always go for an accredited training center.
If you are a resident of the Tampa region in Florida, enroll for a program at
the acclaimed and AHA accredited CPR Tampa where certified instructors conduct
the classes through a series of audio and video lectures and hands-on practice.
Basic Life Support Training Classes- This American Heart Association CPR

including high quality CPR and AED use. The program fee is $70.
The primary
reason behind the occurrence of a heart attack or a cardiac arrest is heart
disease. It is important to keep the heart healthy in order to keep heart
disease at bay. Today we are going to discuss about vital food fats and their
effect on the heart:
Omega 3 Fats- There are basically three Omega 3
Fats- DHA, EPA and ALA with the first two being found in fatty fishes such as
tuna, salmon, trout, mackerel, and herring. ALA is the plant source of omega-3
and is found in flax seed and walnuts. Omega 3 fats help reducing inflammation
and are very good for heart health. Eating fish high in omega 3 twice a week
can prove to be highly beneficial for your heart. If you have aversion to
fishes, you can go for fish oil capsules as well. Do read the dosage directions
on the supplement bottle and you can consult your physician as well regarding
this aspect.
Omega 6 Fats- This is a fat which is basically
found in corn oil and soybean oil and the amount we use has increased over the
years because we eat more processed foods. Consuming too much Omega 6 can
increase inflammation.
Trans Fats- Trans fats are not at all good for
the health. Most of our excess trans fats are from processed fat in packaged
foods whereas some trans fats are naturally found in animal foods. We can cite
“Stick margarine” as an example of trans fats. The oil is processed to become
solid during the making of “Stick margarine” and this process is known as
hydrogenation. The trans fats raise the artery clogging cholesterol (LDL) and
lower the artery cleaning cholesterol (HDL). Eating less processed food is the
best way to keep trans fat intake low.
Saturated Fats- Saturated fats can also raise the
cholesterol levels in the blood. Whole and 2% milk, cheese and fatty meats are
high in saturated fat, some snack food and bakery products are high in
saturated fats as well. Try to keep saturated fats less than 20 grams daily.
Avoid eating cheese and eggs. Cut down on your consumption of processed foods.
Monosaturated fats- Monosaturated fats are
anti-inflammatory and are good for our heart. The Mediterranean Diet is high in
monounsaturated fats and includes regular intake of foods like olive oil,
canola oil, avocados and nuts. Eating these fats can lower blood pressure and
cholesterol levels thus reducing the risk for someone in getting a heart
disease.
Eat healthy,
stay healthy and live a long life.
