That\u2019s the medical definition of blockages in your body that have to do with your heart. A new study has discovered some markers that you can see with your eyes and which are only now being discovered as a medically significant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\nThe study, which is reported by MedPage Today identifies four different symptoms, all quickly identifiable. They are:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Front parietal baldness<\/li>\n<li>Crown top baldness<\/li>\n<li>Earlobe crease<\/li>\n<li>Fatty eyelid deposits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Of those symptoms, the fatty deposits, primarily under the eyes, were the strongest predictor of a heart attack or stroke. But here\u2019s the kicker\u2026 if you have 3 or 4 of these symptoms you are at a 50% greater risk independent of other cardiovascular risk factors. If you have these symptoms do not start an exercise regimen until your doctor clears you as healthy enough to do it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\nIf you\u2019ve read my blog entries you\u2019ve already heard me rail on about keeping fit. Eat right, exercise, stay adherent. Listen, every one of us is a bit different, but one thing is certain: you can\u2019t wait until you have all of these symptoms to start taking your meds and exercising. You have to work at being healthy. Get there and stay there. No, really. I\u2019m quite serious.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\nAs far as adherence goes, it\u2019s no laughing matter. 50% of doctors prescriptions aren\u2019t taken as directed. It\u2019s pretty much like meals. Do it just like your doctor says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you know the word \u201cischemic?\u201d I\u2019ve heard it a lot of times and didn\u2019t know the actual meaning: local [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,53,54,56,58,15,17,49,20,21,24,26,33,35],"tags":[77,78,79],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.medtexter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3609"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.medtexter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.medtexter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.medtexter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.medtexter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.medtexter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3609\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.medtexter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.medtexter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.medtexter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
