Preventing Heart Disease Can Literally Save Your Life - These 3 Health Tips Are Crucial For You
Filed Under heart disease | Comments Off
Gary Toh asked:
Heart Disease is one of the leading causes of death in both men and women around the world. That’s a scary fact and you will do well to know how to stop it from happening to you.
Heart disease does not affect only the elderly. Scores of young men and women around the world die of heart disease yearly. They number in the hundreds of thousands.
Most of our young people today only worry about getting cancer or Alzheimers disease, but heart disease strikes them long before they get to the age when Alzheimers becomes a problem.
We hear about stories of high blood pressure, heart attacks and other such problems related to the cardio-vascular system. And the sad thing is that we tend to ignore these stories and then end up suffering from our ignorance.
So what can you do to prevent the disaster of a heart failure affecting you? Here are some things to look out for…
1) Smoking is bad for your health, period. Smoking is the leading cause for high blood pressure and its consequences are strokes, heart attacks, heart failure, damage to the eyes and kidney failure. It is definitely high on the list of lifestyle habits you should avoid at all costs. If you think that smoking helps you fight stress, think again. There are many other healthy ways to relieve stress, for example, taking a walk, swimming, listening to soothing music.
2) Drinking is another no-no. We are not talking about heart troubles of the romantic kind here but heart troubles of the kind that get you a resting place six feet under ground ahead of time. Excessive drinking raises blood pressure and brings the same unpleasant consequences as in Smoking. In addition to that, it causes liver damage too. While a glass of wine once in a while is probably good for you, excessive drinking everyday can never be a good thing.
3) A definitely YES to a healthy heart is to follow a healthy diet and to exercise regularly. Being overweight carries a huge risk to heart attack as fats can clog up arteries carrying blood to the heart. An overweight person can also develop other diseases that will make your heart worse off.
So there you have it. 3 common sense thing that you should remember everyday. Being healthy and staying healthy requires a conscious effort. Don’t wait till a heart attack happens before you wake up!

Food And Heart Disease

Eric Timmy asked:
According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the nation’s single leading cause of death for both men and women. At least 58.8 million people in this country suffer from some form of heart disease. Men have a greater risk of heart attack than women do, and they have attacks earlier in life. Even after menopause, when women’s death rate from heart disease increases, it’s not as great as men’s. But the good news is that measures can be taken to prevent heart disease. Studies show that nearly everyone can become more heart healthy by following a few key steps, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising, quitting smoking, and maintaining a healthy body weight.
The American Heart Association has identified several risk factors. Some of them can be modified, treated or controlled, and some can’t. The more risk factors you have, the greater your chance of developing coronary heart disease. Also, the greater the level of each risk factor, the greater the risk. For example, a person with a total cholesterol of 300 mg/dL has a greater risk than someone with a total cholesterol of 245 mg/dL, even though everyone with a total cholesterol greater than 240 is considered high-risk.
Food has a powerful influence on health. What you eat, interacting with other risk factors, substantially determines the development of coronary heart disease. The principal components of food are fat, carbohydrate, protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. The goals of a heart-healthy diet are to eat foods that help obtain or maintain healthy levels of cholesterol and lipids (fatty molecules) by achieving the following:
ท Reducing overall cholesterol levels and low-density lipoproteins (LDL), which are harmful to the heart.
ท Increasing high-density lipoproteins (HDL), which are beneficial for the heart.
ท Reducing other harmful lipids (fatty molecules), such as tri-glycerides and lipoprotein(a).

Rhonda Hoffman asked:
Congestive Heart Failure/heart disease
Weakening of the heart causing insufficient blood flow to vital organs, symtpoms include shortness of breath, fliud retention, enlarged heart, and weakend kidney function. Eating the right kind of fat is important. If you crave bad fats then your body is telling you that you really need “good” fats like Super Omega 3 which helps to reduce heart disease and inflammation. Lecithin is another “good” fat that helps liquify cholesterol and dissolve plaque. FIBER IS VERY IMPORTANT ALSO!! If u don’t get enough in your diet we have Natures 3- Fiber rich and sodium free supplement
NEVER cook with Criso. best is olive oil
Natural supplements for the heart:
L-Carnitine is an amino acid that is already in our body but depletes with age. Its function is to transport long-chain fatty acids therefore reducing and preventing fat buildup in the heart and circulatory system. Symptoms of a deficiency include progressive muscle weakness and hypoglycemia. Used for heart problems, weight control and loss of energy, Reye’s syndrome, Graves Disease…
Hawthorn Berries is an herb that strengthens and restores the heart. Clinical and labratory research findings show that it is beneficial in treating an umber of heart conditions including, angina, arrhythmia, artherosclerosis, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It improves the tone of the heart muscle, oxygen uptake, improves circulation to the heart, energizes heart cells and dilates blood vessels. When used for blood pressure, garlic works great along with it! Completely safe for long term use However the ONLY interaction is the drug digitalis does sometimes counteract and must be reduced and your dr wean you slowly off the digitalis.
CoQ10 is probably the most important heart nutrient for the circulatory system. It lowers blood pressure,oxygenates the heart muscle, detoxification and extends life for those with congestive heart disease. Your bodies natural CoQ10 depletes with age, esp. after 50 so supplementing is essential. Great to use with hawthorn or garlic. It is beneficial to the heart, liver, gums, thyroid, muscles and pituatary. From recovery from a heart attack larger doses are required 1,000 mg daily. Also helps reduce side effects of chemotherapy.
Antioxidants are a must and this is the best and highest antioxidant level on the market today. It is the ONLY product with ORAC certified label by the Brunswick Labs. Higher antioxidant levels than all competitors including Monavie and Xango. THAI GO clearly outperformed all other leading competitors in ORAC capacity- Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity(which is the measure of antioxidant strength) It is the only product with the ORAC stamp on the label from the Brunswick Lab.
Bioflavonoids enhance Vitamin C absorption and help maintain collagen and capillary walls. Also aid in the bodys defense system. Antioxidants scavage and destroy damaging free radicals and benefit every organ and system in the body. Antioxidants are getting increasing attention from the scientific community. Xanthones has attracted alot of attention also, scientists are discovering that these compounds support immune, structural and digestive systems, and the brain and skin.Free Radicals are hgih energy particles caused by pollutants that we absorb through the air, diet, drinking, through your skin..Free radicals lack an electron. Their only mission is to steal one, causing damage to your healthy cells by altering its chemical structure. In the oxidative chaos, free radicals critically damage your cells, proteins, DNA and therefore causes cancer, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease and on and on. Antioxidants are important to us because they stop damage from free radicals by providing them with the elecrons they so desperately are seeking out, leaving strong and healthy cells alone.
Mangosteen is one of the key ingredients of Thai Go, a fruit found in Thailand. Mangosteen contains the single-greatest known supply of xanthones that support the immune, structural, digestive systems, brain and skin health. Antibiotic, antifungal and anti-inflammatory benefits. Also helps rid our body of toxins and free radicals that have been damaging our bodies from birth.Mangosteen fruit contains the highest content of xanthones.
Researchers studying xanthones, have discovered that they are a powerful aid in fighting diabetes. Mangosteens xanthones are also very helpful with high blood pressure.Xanthones have been shown to have beneficial effects on some cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease and stroke, atheriosclerosis, hypertension, and thrombosis. Inflammation is one of the main causes of heart disease. Mangosteens natural substance offer the potential of halting or reversing this inflammation. Also good to lower cholesterol. Fibromaylagia.
Xanthones have been demonstrated by scientists at the National University of Singapore to possess anti-viral properties also. Other international scientists have discovered that mangosteen xanthones can destroy salmonella and tuberculosis bacteria.

Heart Disease: Foods You Should Take in Order to Prevent Heart Disease and Stroke
Filed Under heart disease | Comments Off
James S. Pendergraft asked:
Mainly gender and age are the influences of heart disease and stroke. There are a variety of heart diseases that can affect your heart mainly when you get old. Amongst the very common ones is the heart attack. Stroke occurs when brain dysfunctions slowly, due to lack of blood supply to it.
Be Precautious In Your Actions
Every action that you do today may cause an adverse effect or a good one to your heart. You have to be precautious to keep your actions in such a way that it prevents heart disease and stroke in the future. In a recent survey, Men are more attacked by heart disease than women are, as the latter just pour out their hard feeling by crying or sharing with others that men don’t do. A man keeps all his worries inside his heart and does not let it flow through tears. So, he is more prone to heart attack or stroke.
Common Cause For Heart Disease
The main reason for heart disease is the increase in cholesterol level. When the cholesterol level increases, it may cause a block in blood flow which eventually results in heart attack. It is advised to avoid rich fat foods like butter, but the actual culprit in creating heart attack is food, which is rich in sugar. People, who have excessive weight, are more prone to heart attack. So, a person should mainly take care of the diet to prevent heart attack and stroke.
Proper Diet Avoids Heart Disease & Stroke
Diet is one thing, which a person has to maintain, in order to prevent heart disease and stroke. To prevent heart disease from getting worsening, you need to follow a strict and healthy diet. First of all, realise the major risk factors of heart disease. Fluctuation in blood pressure level, cholesterol level, diabetes, smoking and alcohol consumption may cause heart problems.
Role of Fruits, Fresh Vegetables and Fish
Like the proverb “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, there are certain things that you have to follow in order to prevent certain diseases. Most important thing is avoid too much of sugar, red meat, fat and too much of salt. Try taking loads of fruits and fresh vegetables. This is the most preferred diet. One more thing, which prevents heart attack, is fish. Adding too much of ordinary oil while cooking can harm your health. So, try cooking with Olive Oil, which has got no harm.
Have Proper Intake of Fiber and Water Intake
We should have a good digestive system to get rid of these diseases. The only possible way is to have proper diet on fiber and water intake. Eight glasses of water is prescribed for a person to be healthy. Natural foods, which are rich in folic acid like spinach, orange juice and leafy vegetables are prescribed by most doctors. Again, you can also opt for natural foods, which are rich in Magnesium like beets, dates and soya beans. To avoid stroke, you can have grains, rye, cooking herbs, turmeric, ginger, shallots, sweet potatoes and tofu.
Never be addicted to tobacco and alcohol, which may surely lead to heart attack and stroke. Control your diet by taking limited amount of salt, sugar and foods with high fat. With such a routine, you’ll notice the difference in a very short period.
