Heart attack caregiving; are you genetically predisposed to heart attack?


Researchers have found that certain people are especially predisposed to become obese. Overweight and obese individuals tested for high levels of ghrelin, a chemical that produces hunger reactions.

Elders who are overweight are far more likely to suffer from lifestyle diseases such as diabetes or heart disease. Though changing habits is hard, we at A-1 Home Care sincerely believe that any investment in health is worth doing.

Seniors can ask our Palos Verdes Heart Disease Caregivers to prepare healthy and fresh daily meals or accompany them to exercise classes. Our staff are more than happy to help you achieve your personal health goals.

A-1 Home Care is an eldercare company that arranges hourly and live in caregivers who can provide experienced hospital sitting services or eldercare for adults who have experienced a recent heart attack.
