How To Prevent Cardiovascular Disease

Posted February 14th, 2009 by admin

Roughly one quarter of all deaths are attributable to heart disease caused by plugged or furred up coronary (heart) arteries, a disease referred to as atherosclerosis that is attributable to increased blood cholesterol levels. A essential element of heart disease is your life style and which foods you eat. Easy actions like following a 7 day detox diet, regular exercise, losing some weight and stopping smoking can have a major impact in reducing your dangers of heart disease - you may also be interested to try using detox foot pads to work on eliminating all those toxins flooding round your body.

Signs of heart disease

If you contract heart disease, you are at increased risk of developing angina (intense chest pain resulting from your heart not being given enough oxygen), a heart attack; an arrhythmia (which is an abnormal heart rate, which will cause shortness of breath, dizziness or even death); or heart failure (when the heart can’t pump fully, leading to shortness of breath, fatigue, swelled ankles, and which might eventually cut short your life expectancy).

Atherosclerosis can also occur in arterial blood vessels in different parts of your body, including the brain, kidneys, or legs. This often leads to strokes, kidney failure, or bad circulation in the legs and in some cases amputation. Other conditions of the heart and blood flow system include high blood pressure, heart attacks and varicose veins.

Most heart problems can be warded off, or improved considerably by making simple changes to your lifestyle and eating habits. To lessen your danger of heart disease, you should follow a healthy diet, cut down on the quantity of salt in your food, learn how to quit smoking, be careful of how much alcohol you drink, get some exercise regularly, lose a few excess pounds (there’s plenty of quick weight loss diet tips to help you), and try to eliminate your stress levels.

Green tea is is a very refreshing drink, and is considered to help prevent heart and circulatory disease. At the moment the evidence for its powers are inconclusive, drinking green tea looks to be healthy, so it might be valuable trying together with other preventative actions.

Always discuss with your doctor before taking health advice received from external sources.
