Non Modifiable Heart Attack Risk Factors

Are those heart risk factors you CAN NOTchange. These include

• gender (man or woman)

• advancing age

• family history of a heart attack… and

• your race. Certain races are found to be more prone to develop atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.

Males are considered to be at greater risk for heart attack. At first glance it seems right that you can not modify these factors. You can not change your sex. Even if someone undergoes a sex change operation it will not change his genes. So from heart risk perspective – a useless adventure. Just joking guys! But I hope I have conveyed the point.

And besides, this monster heart attack has changed its gender discrimination. No more women enjoy the historical friendly favor of coronary heart disease. Today coronary heart disease kills as many women as men.

But listen to this secret…

Scientific proofs are pouring in about the healing role of compassion, love and intimacy in reversing heart disease and other serious life threatening conditions like cancer. Even prayer seems to be on the radar of scientist. Its role in healing looks promising.

On the other hand - ruthless competitiveness, addiction to never ending to-do-lists and deadlines, unforgiving resentment, and emotional isolation is being seen as important & deeper risk for coronary artery disease.

It is not just romantic speculation about love and intimacy. Real, solid scientific proofs are available for those who care to listen. If you don’t look down at these traits as too soft and feminine, you have a real clue to change your destiny.

I wonder weather this newly found women vulnerability is not the result of feminine desire to challenge Adam's male dominance? In this pursuit, I feel, much of compassion and forgiveness was substituted by competition and ‘fight for women right’. Is not Eve paying a very heavy price for following Adam’s trail?
