Another factor behind heart attack is a lack of essential nutrients in our refined diets. A lack of magnesium contributes to platelet stickiness and coronary artery spasm, as well as rendering the heart far more susceptible to dangerous rhythm disturbances, all of which can lead to heart attacks. The lack of magnesium also increases the chance of stress-induced heart attack. If you consume very little fruit or vegetables, the resultant lack of vitamin C will also make your platelets sticky. Considerable stress is being placed on the value of exercise.
Exercise is beneficial, of course, but is no substitute for a proper diet.
Its importance is being exaggerated by those people who have a financial interest in selling you fatty foods. If they can convince you that exercise rather than dietary change is your salvation, that means more money for them. It is not our intention to go into this subject in any further depth since obtaining even a minimal education on this subject requires reading several books. We will therefore try to point you in the right direction so you can gain the knowledge you need.
