Use Your EAR to Predict a Heart Attack




Dr. Berg’s Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast show

Summary: <p>There is an interesting predictor of a heart attack that you can look for right now. Go to the mirror and look for a crease on your ear lobe, starting where the hole is and coming out 45 degrees. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Coronary artery disease or cardiovascular disease causes you to lose blood flow to the heart muscle.</p> <p><br></p> <p>A chronic lack of blood flow to the heart causes the loss of circulation in the peripheral parts of the body first, like the ear lobes. Without this blood supply to the ear lobes, you can develop this crease. </p> <p><br></p> <p>This crease shows up in about 71% of people with heart disease. However, it has also been found to appear in other health conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. </p> <p><br></p> <p>People who smoke may also notice this crease, but it’s most commonly seen in people with heart problems.</p> <p><br></p> <p>It’s important to act now to support a healthy heart:</p> <p>1. Get on the Healthy Keto® diet and do intermittent fasting </p> <p>2. Exercise regularly </p> <p>3. Take tocotrienols </p> <p>4. Consume omega-3 fatty acids (cod live oil)</p> <p>5.
