And there are many myths related to heart problems in our society.

In this article I'll be sharing the top 10 myths related to heart problems and try to give genuine reasoning or actual fact related to it.

Myths & Facts:

1. Myth: I'm physically fit I can't get heart Attack !
   Fact: Definitely being fit is an advantage and it does reduces the risk of getting suffered from heart heart, but that is not the necessary condition for not getting a heart attack. Some factors which can cause a physically fit person heart attack are tobacco abuse, high cholesterol, hypertension (High BP, in common terms) & genetics.
2. Myth: Recognizing symptoms of heart attack is easier !
   Fact: The symptoms of heart attack are not easy to identify for a normal/ordinary human. Please don't take symptoms like unusual fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, cold sweat, pain in arms, fluttering heart, heaviness, cold sweat & unusual fatigue.

3. Myth: No Chest => No heart Heart attack
   Fact: The pain in case of heart attack isn't localized. In fact in case of diabetics you might experience any pain. The pain is not defined properly, it can be heaviness or tightness or feeling pressure in some situations.

4. Myth: Let me wait for chest pain to go.
   Fact: This approach is followed by many and is also known as "wait and watch" approach in computer science language. and this can be dreadful in some situations. So, if you are feeling from it for few hours then you need medical attention.
5. Myth: I'm Young and that is why I'll not have any heart problems.
   Fact: It was true in early age, that is ancient time but this doesn't hold in current situation. The main reason for this to be a myth are junk food, no or less physical & mental exercise, high stress level, work pressure, increase in level of alcohol intake, smoking.

6. Myth: Intake of Aspirin daily can help me in reducing heart attack effect
   Fact: Taking aspirin at time of active heart heart is advised but many take aspirin daily because of this myth. It shouldn't be taken daily unless your doctor advised you to do it.
7. Myth: Heart attack => Life halts
   Fact: Not True ! There are many patients who live normal live after heart attack. Just practive good life style and be healthy (healthy is different from physically fit !)
8. Myth: Effect Heart attack is same on Men and Women
   Fact: If the intensity of heart attack is same then men are at higher risk when compared to women in normal situations. Also, men are at higher risk of fatal heart diseases. Also, there is a myth that women doesn't suffer from heart attack. On lighter side there is a famous joke which says, Men are more prone to get a heart attack as women are more prone to give them by breaking men heart!.
9. Myth: If I'm controlling my sugar level then I needn't worry about diabetes for heart related problems
   Fact: Diabetes causes inflammation and that can effect/damage blood vessels and that implies high possibility of heart related disease or problem.
10. Myth: I went through heart surgery (Angioplasty), Now I'll not suffer from any heart problem
    Fact: If you are careless with your body and do not have good diet and healthy lifestyle it is bound that you might suffer from heart problem again !

Please understand that our body is a temple and we should worship it ! And by worshiping I mean take care of it. Hope from now onwards you will follow a healthy lifestyle (avoiding alcohol, smoking, junk food, etc.. ) to be healthy.

I'm going to share the top 10 deadliest animal on the earth, I found this list and this amazing facts while surfing around, so be careful with these animal !! :D
The numbering indicates there rank, that is No.1 means it is the most deadliest animal and then the amount of deadliness decreases, here is the list,

0. Humans : I needn't specify the reason !!
1. Mosquito : Around 2 millions death are caused every year because of this tiny insect.
2. Asian Cobra : It is also the most venomous snake.
3. Australian Box Jellyfish : Also known as sea-wasp
4. Great White Shark : Can smell blood from miles away.
5. African Lion : Very quick on earth.
6. Australian Crocodile : They can run @ 30-40 mph for small time to catch the prey.
7. Elephant : Can crush anyone with its one feet.
8. Polar Bear :Very cute & 8th deadliest
9. Cape Buffalo : It has razor sharp horns & solid skull.
10. Poison Dart Frog : Have neurotoxin in them to kill 10 humans at once.

Note:

1. The list doesn't include extinct animals and doesn't consider the deaths caused by them.
2. No. 0 indicates that humans are by default and aren't included in counting. :)

Some of the names are really surprising, like mosquito occupies the 1st place in deadliest animal list & Box jellyfish is on 3rd and White Shark on 4th (excluding Humans)!!
You would have rate Whilte Shark 1st, like other humans (including me), right ? But the deadliness is based on the number of deaths caused by that specific animal, as deadliness is derived from DEADliness and it is the fact of these animals !!
