Blog Posts, Dr. Stephen Black

Heart disease, stroke and atherosclerosis are the leading causes of death in men and women in the United States. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the developed world, accounting for approximately one quarter of deaths. Most deaths occur within the first two days after a heart episode, while those who survive this period progress well, if they have not developed heart failure or serious arrhythmias. Participation in a cardiac rehabilitation program can promote recovery, enable patients to achieve and maintain better health, and reduce the risk of death in people who have heart disease. It has been shown that exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation can reduce fatal events by 25 percent in the first year of recovery, and significantly reduce overall mortality from cardiac illness.

Blog Posts, Dr. Stephen Black

By understanding the causes and symptoms of dehydration, you can help your clients to ensure they remain adequately hydrated in all situations.

Unfortunately, many people tend to forego those opportunities, and a lot of people walk around in a state of mild dehydration. For example, after taking a two-hour plane flight, drinking a cup of coffee and heading to a meeting in an airtight office building, people can lose as much as 1 percent of their body weight. This fluid loss is significant enough to affect the body’s internal thermostat. Also, a 1 percent loss of fluid can increase the heart rate an average of 5 beats per minute.
