Know how to spot the danger signs A patient developing cardiac tamponade will look like he's going into shock. When the heart can't pump, the ventricles can't fill, cardiac output drops, and vascular collapse ensues. The first symptoms may be nonspecific, such as anxiety and restlessness.
A healthy diet includes foods to help achieve and maintain body weight. This means eating five servings of fruits and vegetables daily, choosing whole grains over refined grains and limiting processed meats. These are important -- but not all-inclusive-- components of a healthful diet.
Healthful carbohydrates are those that provide nutrients while limiting fat, sodium, and added sugar. The simplest way to consume healthier carbohydrates is to choose unprocessed whole grains, cereals, and starchy vegetables, fresh fruit, dried beans and peas, and skim milk or low sugar soy/rice milk.
