Excess weight puts a strain on the heart muscle, which eventually can lead to angina and coronary artery disease. If you are overweight, adopt a sensible eating plan and ]]>exercise regularly]]> to lose weight gradually, and then ]]>maintain your weight]]> at the desired level.
]]>Smoking]]> damages your blood vessels and lung tissue, reduces the amount of oxygen in your blood, and forces your heart to beat faster. Discuss with your doctor the best way to ]]>quit smoking]]> .
Diets that are high in saturated fat and cholesterol increase your risk of CAD. Saturated fat and cholesterol are found in animal products, full-fat dairy products (such as milk, cream, and cheese), lard, and palm and coconut oils, among other foods. A registered dietitian can help you reduce saturated fats and cholesterol in your diet. Good dietary choices include fresh fruits and vegetable, as well as lean meats and fish—particularly fish rich in ]]>omega-3 fatty acids]]> , such as salmon.
Alcohol intake should be limited to no more then 1 to 2 ounces a day. Small amounts of alcohol in this range may have beneficial effects such as raising your good cholesterol (HDL).
People who have ]]>diabetes]]> may reduce their risk of heart attack or other cardiac events if they maintain their blood glucose near normal levels. There are many other proven health benefits to maintaining tight control of blood glucose. If you have diabetes, talk to your doctor about ways to manage your blood sugar level.
Homocysteine is an amino acid found naturally in the body. High levels in the blood are linked to CAD. Currently, scientists are not sure whether homocysteine is a cause of CAD, or just a marker. However, homocysteine levels may be reduced by an increased intake of vitamin ]]>B6]]> , vitamin ]]>B12]]> , and ]]>folic acid]]> .
]]>High blood pressure]]> (hypertension) is one of the most critical risk factors for angina and coronary artery disease. Hypertension causes the heart muscle to work harder. The increased strain on the heart can lead to heart failure. Discuss with your doctor the best way to reach and maintain a healthy blood pressure. If ]]>weight]]> and ]]>salt reduction]]> , ]]>exercise]]> , and ]]>stress management]]> do not sufficiently reduce your blood pressure, medication may be needed.
For people who have not yet developed recognizable CAD, regular aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking or using a stationary bike or treadmill, is recommended. Exercise can strengthen the heart muscle and lower blood pressure and is recommended in moderation (at least 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes). However, if you already have CAD, check with your doctor before starting any new exercise program.

A 27-year-old woman was sentenced to prison after she climbed a fire escape while carrying an 8-month-old infant.
A 27-year-old woman was sentenced to prison after she climbed a fire escape while carrying an 8-month-old infant, the Ventura County District Attorney's Office said Friday.
Maryann Salazar, 27, had pleaded guilty to child endangerment and obstructing a peace officer. She was sentenced to 261 days in Ventura County jail, 48 months of probation and 52 weeks of child abuse classes, according to authorities.
On Sept. 27, 2018, Salazar climbed up to the fourth-story roof of 21 California St. in Ventura while holding the infant. She reached the roof via the fire escape and sat on the edge with the infant, according to a witness who reported the incident to authorities.
When police made contact with Salazar, she refused to give the baby over to officers. The officers eventually recovered the infant when they arrested Salazar. The infant was transported to Ventura County Medical Center before he was transferred to Ventura County Child Protective Services.
Injured shoulders, strained groin … wire removal.
Yes, that would be the Ducks' injury report, and, oddly enough, the third item was accurate on Monday. Ducks defenseman Kurtis Foster was scheduled to have a procedure at UCI Medical Center to remove a piece of wire from his left thigh.
The wire was placed -- intentionally -- there when his fractured leg was surgically repaired in March 2008. Unfortunately, Foster, who was acquired from the Oilers in July, has been feeling irritation and inflammation in his leg before Ducks camp opened and an X-ray showed the wire as the culprit.
He will be out two to four weeks, meaning he is questionable for the start of the regular season. The Ducks open in Helsinki on Oct. 7.
The strange nature of Foster's injury explained, in part, why Ducks Coach Randy Carlyle had a hard time trying to describe what exactly was going on with Foster.
Carlyle said that defenseman Mathieu Carle “didn’t feel very good today” after riding the stationary bike for about five minutes. “We decided to shut him down and we won’t push that,” said Carlyle, who didn’t know whether Carle had suffered a concussion. Carle smacked hard into the end boards in Sunday’s practice.
Defenseman Toni Lydman (shoulder surgery) has not been cleared for contact.
“Hopefully soon but no idea. . . . I’m not going to rush it even if the (first) games are in Finland,” Lydman said.
ROCKFORD — Britney Curry scored 21 points and had 10 rebounds to help Rockford College hold off a late rally from Concordia University-Chicago in Saturday’s 68-61 win in Northern Athletics Conference action at the Seaver Center.
The Regents (2-2, 1-0 NAC) led 35-33 at halftime.
Nicole Olson had 14 points for Rockford College, while Nicole Lawler had 11 and Jessica Bjerning added 10 points.
Bobbie May scored 12 points to lead Concordia (1-3, 0-1).
Dylan Wurtz and Chad Mathwig each scored 18 points to lead University Wisconsin-Oshkosh to an 84-68 win over Rockford College at Kolf Sports Center in Oshkosh, Wis.
UW-Oshkosh (2-2) dominated early and took a 28-17 lead with 10:56 left in the first half. The Regents got as close as 48-44 with 14:37 left.
Tory Minnifeld and Dominque Walker each scored 11 points to lead the Regents (2-2).
John Flanigan had 17 points and 11 rebounds for UW-Oshkosh.
More than 800 people rescued but dozens still missing in incident near country's south.
The guard said that three passengers were injured.
Authorities said earlier that some people had jumped into the water in panic before dawn as the vessel began to tilt to the right.
The ship sank about six nautical miles off the west coast of Zamboanga peninsula on Mindanao island, Teodoro said.
Al Jazeera's Marga Ortigas, reporting from Manila, said quoting the coast guard that a little more than 80 people were still unaccounted for.
"They don't want to qualify these people as missing or indeed possible fatalities ... because they could have also been taken to shore by fishing vessels that may not have had radio contact with the rescuers," she said.
"No names have been released, and indeed no names even of the fatalities at the moment."
Navy ships were deployed and air force helicopters were helping in the rescue.
The ship left the southern city of General Santos on Saturday and was scheduled to arrive in Iloilo city in the central Philippines on Sunday.
The ferry apparently ran into some problems midway and began to list, according to Jess Supan, vice-president of the Aboitiz Transport System, the ferry owner.
Commodore Rudy Isorena, a regional coastguard chief, said the cause of the accident was not yet clear and the weather in the area had not been too bad.
"We cannot say yet as to the cause as the attention right now is being given to the search and rescue of passengers," he said.
The weather was generally fair in the Zamboanga peninsula region, about 860km south of Manila, although a tropical storm was reported in the country's mountainous north, the coast guard said.
Our correspondent said authorities consider the incident a "close call" a year after another fatal ferry accident.
"They are saying they did avert what could have been yet another maritime disaster," Ortigas said.
"It's just been a year since the Princess of the Stars sank during a typhoon in June of last year and most of the passengers, some 500 people, were all dead on that one.
"So they consider this a rather close call but they are very pleased that some 800 people have indeed survived."
MUZAFFARABAD: The local administration in Kotli district of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) on Thursday imposed Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code barring the holding of public meetings, a day ahead of a planned rally to express solidarity with the victims of ceasefire violations from across the Line of Control (LoC).
“In view of the prevailing situation and wave of terrorism in the country any kind of gathering in sub-division Kotli poses a serious threat to the law and order… Therefore, all kinds of gatherings and rallies are being banned for two months under Section 144,” read an order issued by sub-divisional magistrate Raja Nisar Ahmed Khan.
Separately, police and administration officials held a meeting with Dr Toqeer Gillani of the pro-independence Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) and other leaders, in a bid to persuade them to cancel their march.
Mr Gillani told Dawn by telephone that there were three objectives for organising the march.
“First, we want to press that exchange of shelling from both sides should come to a halt. If it’s a ceasefire line and both sides have already signed a ceasefire agreement then there should not be any cross-firing and shelling,” he said.
“Secondly, we want to draw the attention of the international community to the fact that Kashmiris are experiencing hardship for the past seven decades without break and the only way to end their suffering is to resolve the issue of Kashmir,” he said.
Mr Gillani said the march would begin from Tattapani at 10am and conclude in the Madarpur area of district Poonch at 6pm.
“They [participants] will be carrying white and black flags as a mark of protest against shelling and yearning for truce,” he said.
When asked why the people from other political schools of thought would participate in a march organised by a pro-independence organisation, he said the march had been welcomed by the masses, regardless of political affiliations.
“Political affiliations have become irrelevant along the LoC particularly because the mainstream parties have failed to play a role in alleviating their sufferings,” Mr Gillani claimed.
He said bar associations, traders, farmers and people from other walks of life had expressed gratitude to the JKLF for organising this much-needed event.
“The life of the people living along the ceasefire line has been crippled by incessant shelling and firing. Not a single day goes by when there are no casualties in one or the other sector, so everyone will join us for the common cause,” he said.
About the meeting with police and administration officials, he alleged that they tried to “intimidate us into abandoning the plan’’.
Just imagine the amount of manpower waste, nothing is going to change.
If India gets a chance they will open fire on the March .
In all that the march stands for, we stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Kashmir.
We Indians too stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Kashmir. As long as Kashmiris shun violence and non-violent protests, they will be treated as Indian citizens, otherwise the government will just have to copy what is well-documented - the actions of the rogue army on its citizens outside Punjab.
Whatever their grievances are they must be allowed to protest peacefuly. It's their democratic right to protest.
Unlimited support Until Kashmir is liberated!
Azad Kashmiri heart bleeds for our families and brethren under Indian army occupation.

Whether that is a dress, a suit or something else - anything goes! If you're feeling brave there'll be a red carpet catwalk showcase later in the evening but no pressure, there's also a photo booth for a more private picture.

Gay singer/songwriter Tom Goss takes the stage at the new MilkBoy ArtHouse in College Park (7416 Baltimore Ave., College Park, Md.) Saturday, Aug. 4 at 8 p.m. with special guests Emily Henry and Hayley Fahey, two D.C. singer/songwriters.
As a former D.C. resident himself, Goss is a long-time local favorite. Known for hits like “Illuminate the Dark” and “Son of a Preacher Man,” he has toured the country over a decade-long career. At his upcoming College Park performance, he plans to both play fan favorites and premiere new songs to be released later this year.
Tickets range from $10-15 and can be purchased at milkboyarthouse.ticketfly.com. The event is limited to guests 18 and older. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.
Investigators said Wednesday that they had detained another suspect and are investigating two more incidents as part of a criminal probe into the fraudulent sale of Defense Ministry property that ostensibly led to Anatoly Serdyukov's dismissal as defense minister.
The two additional cases of alleged fraud at Defense Ministry companies bring the estimated loss to the federal treasury to more than $200 million.
Andrei Lugansky, general director of Bezopasnost i Svyaz, a subsidiary of the Slavyanka defense services holding company, was arrested Monday, the Investigative Committee said in a statement Wednesday.
Lugansky, along with Alexander Yelkin, the owner of Bezopasnost i Svyaz, whom authorities arrested more than a week ago, is suspected of hiding and destroying materials that could have been used as evidence of illegal activity and "taking part in activities aimed at putting pressure on witnesses."
Investigators will ask a court to order that Lugansky be held in pretrial detention.
Investigators also added two new incidents to the probe, increasing the number of criminal cases to seven and the loss of revenue to 6.7 billion rubles ($215.3 million), Alexander Sorochkin, head of the Investigative Committee's military investigative department, said at a news conference, Interfax reported.
Sorochkin refused to elaborate on the new fraud incidents.
In late October, the Investigative Committee's military investigative department opened five cases on charges of fraud and abuse of office following the discovery of a scam involving the fraudulent sale of real estate and shares belonging to Oboronservis, a company that manages state military suppliers.
On Nov. 6, Putin fired Serdyukov as defense minister, citing the need to "create the conditions for an objective investigation" of the Oboronservis case.
President Obama cobbled together a new coalition of special interests that he was able to win a 2nd term with. Minorities, single women, gays, union members, government employees, etc., helped put him over the top.
The Irish American coalition used to have great sway in the Democrat party. But some high profile Irish Americans weren’t even invited to a traditional St Patricks special event dinner in Obamas 1st term.
If Irish Americans had clout in the Democrat Party, the Sandy devastation in the Rockaway’s would have been dealt with swiftly and surely.
Democrat luminaries were falling all over themselves for photo ops right after the storm. Wearing hard hats and making promises to the cameras, they scored big in the PR dept.
But today, months after the storm, many residents still have no homes to move into and no power for their homes, if they still have one standing.
These neighborhoods are slowly being relegated to back page status in the media and when that happens, it is as if the problem isn’t there anymore. But it is there.
If Democrats were serious about protecting and aiding their constituency, they wouldn’t have played political games. Evidently they felt, after the media storm died down, they could relegate Sandy to politics and special interests without fear of media or political blowback.
When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, the din from the media was ear splitting. News teams were on the ground at all times. The damaged city was kept front and center throughout the entire Bush term, as billions upon billions were poured on the city and its residents.
But this disaster in New York is different. The leader in the White house is a Democrat and so are most of those officeholders in this damaged area.
President Bush was blamed incessantly for acting slowly to respond to the disaster that hurricane Katrina caused. But the truth was ineptness by Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco, both Democrats that caused the lack of preparedness and response to Katrina.
Mayor Nagins “chocolate city” as he referred to it, was showered with billions in federal tax dollars to show the media and the rest of America we cared.
The media microscope was kept focused on New Orleans recovery efforts and any delay in aid was headline news. Charges of racism were raised by civil rights leaders for any perceived lack of aid, real or imagined.

But today, months after the storm, many residents still have no homes to move into and no power for their homes, if they still have one standing.

These neighborhoods are slowly being relegated to back page status in the media and when that happens, it is as if the problem isn’t there anymore. But it is there.

If Democrats were serious about protecting and aiding their constituency, they wouldn’t have played political games. Evidently they felt, after the media storm died down, they could relegate Sandy to politics and special interests without fear of media or political blowback.

When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, the din from the media was ear splitting. News teams were on the ground at all times. The damaged city was kept front and center throughout the entire Bush term, as billions upon billions were poured on the city and its residents.

But this disaster in New York is different. The leader in the White house is a Democrat and so are most of those officeholders in this damaged area.

President Bush was blamed incessantly for acting slowly to respond to the disaster that hurricane Katrina caused. But the truth was ineptness by Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco, both Democrats that caused the lack of preparedness and response to Katrina.

Mayor Nagins “chocolate city” as he referred to it, was showered with billions in federal tax dollars to show the media and the rest of America we cared.

The media microscope was kept focused on New Orleans recovery efforts and any delay in aid was headline news. Charges of racism were raised by civil rights leaders for any perceived lack of aid, real or imagined.
