The heart is so strong that it can beat even after it is disconnected from an organism. It is important to pay close attention to its health and, fortunately, there are a few simple tricks that help us to ensure that it works within normal parameters.
Here’s how you can check your heart health in just 30 seconds. Exercise is simple and involves two steps.
Step one: Pour very cold water into a container large enough to place both hands in it.
Step Two: Keep your hands in the water for 30 seconds. This way you will see how the blood flows when it comes in contact with the cold.
Following this test, there are two possible outcomes.
If your fingers are red, the news is good. It means that you have no problems with oxygenation of the blood, and the heart and peripheral circulation are healthy.
If your fingers become pale or tingle, you may have blood circulation problems. Transformation indicates a low level of oxygen in red cells.
In this case, heat or massage the area to restore it to normal. If the usual color doesn’t return to the area of your fingers, it is best to consult a doctor. You should also call the Emergency Service if the blue discoloration is accompanied by the following:
– lack of air
– fever
– headache
– chest pain
– perspiration
– sensation of numbness in the arms, legs, hands, fingers
– dizziness or fainting
