Healthy Body . Healthy Heart

If you've noticed, my previous posts were more focused on food, diet, slimming and etc. But I guess there's no better motivation to change my bad eating habits which I mask as "Food Trips" than focusing on my health.

When I did my general check up 2 months ago, it was found out that my level of cholesterol was high. After that, I was more conscious of my food intake and my health in general. But just about 2 weeks ago, my craving for yummy, fatty, oily and unhealthy food has surfaced once again. Not until, a few minutes ago when I came across a site that listed "High Cholesterol" as a risk factor for SCA or Sudden Cardiac Arrest. I'm reminded once again (and I guess I need constant reminding) that I have to take care of my health and be a good steward of the life that God has given me. Our life is indeed so precious and we must live it in the fullest for God's glory.

Anyways, here's a site that gives a lot of information about SAC, it's risk factors, warning signs, and immediate treatments such as CPR or implantable cardioverter defibrillator(ICD) which is also necessary to shock the heart back to normal rhythm.
