Preventing Heart Disease Before it Starts
Filed Under heart disease | Comments Off
Andrew Bicknell asked:
Heart disease is the leading cause of death due to disease in the United States today. What many people may not realize is that simply preventing it before it happens is the best medicine. In fact the steps to prevention are relatively simple and easy but it does involve some significant lifestyle changes. But then a few changes to live a long healthy life are certainly worth the effort, aren’t they.
Here are six simple steps you can take to help prevent the occurrence of heart disease.
1. Cut the Fat – This can be difficult for many people because fat is what makes everything taste so good. Unfortunately eating to much fat, particularly trans fat, can lead to a rise in LDL cholesterol, known as the bad cholesterol. It builds forming plaque that narrows and hardens the arteries. This can cause a clot which leads to a heart attack or stroke.
2. Cardiovascular Exercise – By keeping your heart and the rest of your cardiovascular system strong and in shape you can significantly decrease you chances of suffering from heart disease. Doing some form of physical activity everyday is a good way to heart disease at bay. It can be as simple as doing housework, going for a daily walk or bike ride, taking the stairs instead of elevators, or any number of other daily activities.
3. Quit Smoking – more than 135,000 people in the United States die from tobacco related heart disease every year. In fact if you smoke you are two to three times more at risk to die from coronary heart disease.
4. Use Less Salt – Salt is a necessary part of any diet but to much salt can cause your body to retain water and other fluids. This can cause blood pressure to rise which is a major factor in cardiovascular disease.
5. Reduce Stress Levels – This is easier said then done because stress happens. Most of the time there is nothing you can do about it when it happens. But when stress does rear its ugly head you need an outlet that lets you keep its effects to a minimum. Find time everyday to spend time by yourself, in a quiet, relaxed environment. You can also use exercise to reduce stress, thus taking care of two of the steps at one time.
6. Keep Your Weight in Check – The interesting thing when we talk about weight and heart disease is that there are two sides to this issue. Being overly thin, including because of eating disorders, increases the risk of heart attack just as being overweight does. The idea is to maintain an ideal body weight for your height and body type. A good starting point is to use the body mass index (BMI) to determine your ideal weight.
By following these six steps you can go a long ways to preventing heart disease. It is important that if you think you have some form of heart disease or are exhibiting any of the symptoms that you see your doctor for the proper tests to determine your current health status.

Becca asked:
What kind of degree do I get if I want to help children and teenagers going through heart disease and eating disorders? What I want to be is someone that has experience that can lend a helping ear, because I have been through it.

I believe it is clinical psychology? Does that sound right or something different? How many years? I am almost done with my AA

I know that ischemic heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in Canada — and likely in the US and Europe as well — but I do not know the chance of survival once diagnosed. Does anyone have a documented statistic?

Natural Gout Cure: Cure Gout, Lose Weight and Decrease Heart Disease
Filed Under heart disease | Comments Off
Joe Barton asked:
A few years ago, my friend Greg approached me about his arthritic problem of gout! He told me about his daily battle with the pain associated with gout! He also mentioned how going to bed (typically when a gout attack occurs) was more like a chore than a pleasure! Can you relate with Greg? The pain, the misery, the dread of the next attack! Or do you know a loved one who suffers from this painful disease?
If you know anything about gout, you would guess that Greg was the perfect candidate for this arthritic condition. Greg was 30 pounds overweight, had a sedentary lifestyle (a sitting job), didn’t exercise, typically ate high carb/fat meals, loved his beer and was 38 years old. I later realized, I probably could have approached him about wanting to try our natural gout cure as opposed to him coming to me.
But like Greg (who has been gout free for almost 8 months now), you can naturally cure gout with simple gout remedies and gout prevention cures! And an added bonus, if you live a gout free lifestyle, I guarantee that you will lose weight and decrease your chance of heart disease in the process.
Let me explain!
Curing Gout and Decreasing Your Chance of Heart Disease
My career is centered around health! Therefore, my favorite part of the newspaper is the ‘Health’ Section. And while reading the daily paper, I noticed an article about gout! “Gout Increases Risk of Coronary Heart Disease”. I instantly flipped the page and thought ‘duh’. But, after thinking about my friend Greg, his family, our friendship, his life… I immediately flipped back and read the interesting article!
A European study reported a 16 year follow-up of over 9,000 men between 41 and 63 who entered the study with no evidence of coronary heart disease (CHD). After the study follow-up, most men continued to suffer with gout attacks but also were considered high risk for coronary heart disease. And as you might know, 1 out of every 5 deaths is associated with heart disease.
And the kicker! Men with gout were about 50% more likely to die from an acute heart attack than those men without gout! With millions of gout hospital visits each year, and over 500,000 coronary deaths per year… Can you understand the seriousness of gout?
Gout can be a life and death ailment if left untreated! I immediately made a phone call to Greg to check up! Greg followed our simple Natural Gout Cure and cured his gout, lost over 20 pounds and his blood pressure was over 15 points lower! I jokingly told him that he will be our ‘cure gout poster child’.
How did he do it? He was pro-active about curing gout and began living a healthy lifestyle! And you can too!
A Natural Gout Cure- No mediations needed and NO side-effects
Here is a list of some basic tips if you or a loved one is suffering from gout!
1.) Maintain Your Healthy Weight!
2.) Avoid Eating Meats (Purines)!
3.) Drink half your weight in water! In ounces that is! I weight 180 pounds so I would drink 90 ounces of water per day! Roughly, 11 cups of water per day!
4.) Avoid or limit Alcohol Consumption.
5.) Exercise on a daily basis! Try to get at least 15 minutes of activity per day.
And finally, if you want to follow the same path that Greg and hundreds of other ex-gout sufferers followed, please take a few seconds to consider:
Do you want a simple step-by-step natural gout cure treatment that is guaranteed to work?
Are you sick of popping pills to ‘band-aid’ the pain?
Do you want to discover how you can cure the pain and not hide it?
Are you tired of wasting over 200 dollars on a hospital visits and over-priced medication?
Do you want to discover a simple ‘kitchen cupboard’ cure that works in minutes?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, please take a few moments to check out our Natural Gout Cure Website and our NO-RISK guarantee! I would love to help you get your life back, cure your gout and possibly save your life!

Jordan S asked:
The body mass index, I, can be used to determine an individuals risk of heart disease. An index less then 25 indicates a low risk. The body mass index is given by the formula: I= 700w/H^2 where w=weight and H=height in inches. Francis weighs 173 pounds and stands 74 inches tall. What is his BMI? Find an inequality describing all weights W that Francis can have and be in low-risk category.

Obesity is an Invitation to Heart Disease Attack
Filed Under heart disease | Comments Off
Miracle Obi asked:
According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States, nearly 40 per cent of its population is obese. The number of obese children has tripled over the last 2 decades. Despite the exhortations of different health experts to eat less and exercise more, millions of people in industrialized nations have been getting fatter. Latest figure show that more than half the adult population is overweight, and about one in five is obese. Basically speaking, this means that one out of three of you reading this, is technically overweight or obese.
Obesity is simply an excess of fat deposit in our body cells. When deposited as a high risk abdominal fat, they make the body resistant to the effect of insulin causing its level in the blood to rise. Raised insulin can lead to high blood pressure, raised blood lipids and increase in blood sugar level. And all this indices indicates greater risk of coronary heart disease.
Are you at risk?
There are several ways of knowing and measuring obesity- Body mass Index (BMI). This is commonly used to measure your weight relative to your height. That is by taking your weight in kilogram and dividing it by the square of your height in meters i.e.:
BMI = Weight (kg)
Height (m)2
An individual weight is commonly classified this way:
Less than 25 as healthy, 25 to30 as overweight then over 30 as obese
So the greater the BMI, the higher the risk of developing heart disease. About 70 percent of heart disease cases in the United States are linked to excess body fat.
Why are we getting fatter?
That’s a one million question we have to ask ourselves. In our modern society, the wide availability of energy-dense food in large portion combine with the fact that we are less active in exercise has resulted in our getting fatter every day. Moreover, a good deal of our meal has been based around fast foods like burger, pizza and chips instead of fruits and vegetables. Obesity thus can be regarded as a chronic energy imbalance, in which intake exceed expenditure and excess energy is stored as fat.
You may ask why some people put on weight easily while others can eat anything they want and never gain an ounce of weight. In this case, it can be genetically influence whereby obesity runs in the family. Children with obese parents have at least 60 per cent chance of becoming obese compared with less than 20 per cent in children of lean parents. Other factors may be social, psychological or can be a medical disorder and drugs.
You can choose any type of weight loss plan you like but make sure you create a sensible energy balance of around 500 to 600 calories per day. Regular exercise is highly recommended to maintain this daily. The type of exercise is not important provided it stimulates the heart and body circulation sufficiently. Any activity like jogging, walking, running, dancing, swimming, aerobics, cycling or gym work out will definitely help put off CHD at any rate.
So, it is clear that physically active people have only half the risk of heart attack compared to sedentary ones. Not only will physical exercise lower your risk of coronary heart disease, it will also give you a stronger and well conditioned heart.
