Must-Know Secret to SURVIVE a Heart Attack

No one wants to have a heart attack.

But if you DO have one, you want to make sure you live to tell about it.

Fortunately, it’s not just a toss of the coin.

Researchers have identified a way to lower your risk of dying immediately after a heart attack—and it’s something you can start today.

Researchers evaluated 28,000 people from 10 different studies. They were healthy at the start of the study, but had a heart attack during the follow-up period.

Their goal?

To see if activity levels had an impact on surviving a heart attack.

As you might have guessed… it did.

The people were divided into four categories based on their activity level: sedentary, low, moderate, and high.

Overall, people with moderate physical activity had a 33 percent reduced risk of dying immediately from a heart attack.

And people who engaged in a high amount of physical activity had a 45 percent reduced risk of suffering a fatal heart attack.

This protective effect was seen 28 days after suffering the heart attack as well.

Once you’ve suffered a heart attack, you have a 20 percent chance of having ANOTHER one within five years.

But participating in a cardiac exercise rehab program can dramatically reduce this risk—by an impressive 47 percent.

The bottom line is that, to reduce your risk of suffering from a heart attack—or dying from one—you need to get moving now.

A little activity goes a long way.

You don’t have to run a marathon, try even a leisurely walk around the block.

P.S. If you’re over a certain age, there’s a good chance your heart health is one of your top priorities. If so, I urge you to go here and learn about the test that predicts a heart attack and stroke.
