Myth: Can ginger help in heart attack?
Fact Experts say that there is no evidence that chewing ginger can help during a heart attack. In case of a heart attack, doctors give aspirin tablets to chew, which can reduce the complications to a great extent at that time. However, this does not mean that one should rely only on aspirin tablets in case of a heart attack.
Myth: People who exercise are not at risk of heart attack
Fact : If you are physically fit, it does not mean that you are not at risk of heart attack. If there is a family history of heart attack, problems like diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, then even a fit person who exercises can get a heart attack. Sometimes too much exercise can also cause a heart attack.
Myth: Control your weight and you will not get a heart attack
