The body often gives off warning signs of a heart attack before one occurs. It is important to be aware of these heart attack signs especially if you are at a higher risk for a heart attack or have a family history of heart attack. Some of these symptoms include:

• Chest Discomfort: The majority of heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. This discomfort often feels like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.
  
• Shortness of breath
• Nausea
• Breaking out in a cold sweat
• Fatigue

If you feel you are suffering from any of these symptoms contact your doctor for more information immediately.

There are certain heart attack signs to look out for if you feel someone is experiencing one. Heart attacks are the leading cause of death in the developed world.

Some of these signs include:

• Shortness of breath
• Nausea
• Dizziness
• Pain in the Chest

Eat A Fraction Of The Serving
Americans are known all over the world to have enormous portions at meal time. Whether you are in a restaurant or having dinner at home, the amount of food on your plate contributes greatly to the risk your body faces for vulnerable plaque and heart attack sings. It is best to look at your hand when measuring your portions. For example, take the size of your fist, this should be the size of your fruit portion. Vegetables or complex carbohydrates should fit cupped in your hand. Meats and proteins should be the flat of your palm.

Fruits And Vegetables
Your number one food group should be fruits and vegetables. These foods have antioxidants and help lower bad cholesterol. Eating more of them helps provide benefits that may prevents heart attack causes. Fruits and vegetables also as a whole contain less fat than other foods and some people believe them to be easier for your body to digest.

Fish Two Times
Fish is the best heart healthy item of protein in your diet. You should have 2 servings a week. It is low in saturated fat and has high levels of triglycerides. It may also lower your cholesterol and prevent **heart attack causes. Salmon, tuna, trout, sardines and mackerel are all high in omega-3 fatty acids. These servings should be broiled, baked, sauteed or grilled, never ever fry!

Whole Grain Goodness
Fiber and complex carbs in whole grain can help you feel full and help your body process foods. You become less tempted to overeat if you have a full feeling and these carbs can also help with the prevention of heart attack signs.

Nutty!
Snacks like nuts such as almonds are great for your body. They contain antioxidants and omega-3s. Make sure to choose the right nuts though. Some are high in fats and that is not a snack you want to eat when trying to prevent heart attack signs.

Good Fats
Make sure the only fats in your diet are unsaturated fats. You should also only have about 25 to 35 % of your calories come from unsaturated fats. Fats such as olive oil, safflower oil, and canola oil are all beneficial, but in moderation of course.
