There was once a video that shocked everyone: a hospital emergency center received a total of 16 cases of sudden death in just 11 days, an average of almost 1.5 cases of unnatural death a day, of which 6 were under the age of 40, the youngest was 22 years old! So how should sudden death be prevented? First, how to prevent sudden death in healthy people There are a significant number of sudden deaths that occur in people who turn out to be seemingly healthy, so this means that no one should be taken lightly. For these people who at least superficially appear normal, there is no better way to prevent sudden death than to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including the following points: 1, a healthy diet: diet including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat dairy products, fish, lean meats, poultry, eggs, nuts, seeds, legumes, beans and vegetable oils (in addition to coconut and palm oil). Sodium, saturated and trans fats, added sugars and alcohol should also be limited; 2. Maintain a healthy weight: obesity increases the risk of coronary heart disease, which is one of the major causes of sudden death; 3. Manage stress properly: bad moods can be a trigger for angina or myocardial infarction. Stress also contributes to hypertension and other cardiovascular risks. Some of the wrong ways of coping with stress are inherently unhealthy, such as alcoholism, smoking, drug abuse, and overeating. Healthy ways to manage stress include: stress management courses, meditation, relaxation, sports, communicating with family and friends, etc., and seeking help from medical professionals; 4. Physical Activity: Some people die suddenly just from exercising, so should they exercise or not? The answer is not to be choked, or should exercise, but should be measured, step by step. The benefits of consistent exercise can completely offset the very low risk of sudden death during exercise. In addition, often get up from a sitting chair and walk can reduce the risk of many diseases; 5, quit smoking: smoking is extremely harmful to the heart, but also aggravates other risk factors for heart disease. Last year, the founder of a mobile medical company died suddenly, in a report on him, you can see that he almost smoked. Therefore, smokers must quit smoking, and non-smokers should also try to avoid second-hand smoke. Second, how to prevent sudden death in people with cardiac risk factors is usually said to be the “three highs”: high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high blood fat, all need treatment. On the one hand, they should be treated through the lifestyle mentioned above, and on the other hand, they should take medication according to the doctor’s prescription. Third, how to prevent sudden death in people who have been rescued from sudden death These people are very lucky, but there is still a risk of sudden death again. Studies have shown that implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), which are surgically buried under the skin of the patient’s chest or abdomen, can reduce the risk of another sudden death by delivering an electric shock to normalize the heart’s rhythm when it is detected that the patient is experiencing a dangerous heart rhythm. In addition, people around the patient should learn the simple technique of CPR, which could potentially save a person’s life in the event of another sudden death!
