mama woof asked:


Can anyone explain (in layman’s terms) the relationship between l-carnitine, anemia, and inflammation (c reactive protein)? Is it related to the intake of Carnitine or the utilization of carnitine? I know they were doing studies on this, but don’t understand the results.

And am I to understand that anemia is a possible symptom of high c reactive protein and inflammation? And low carnitine levels are the cause or symptom of heart disease/ hypertension/ some anemia related to that/ inflammation related to c reactive protein, etc?

Heart disease, “the disease of the 19th century and beyond”, as some people say. Based on statistics, nearly 13 million people suffer from coronary heart disease in which an approximately 479,000 death toll was recorded each year. Out of 1000 children, 8 of them suffer from congenital heart disease each year in the United States.

This one is a serious problem of the heart and it coordinates the body systems. The disease extends into various related forms each having their own causal elements, symptoms and prevention as well as treatment procedures. There are symptoms and diagnoses that are common among the different kinds of this disease.

Included as common symptoms are: pain in different body parts, nausea, vomiting, sweating, heartburn and swelling of tissues and limbs, chest discomfort, coldness, unexplained headaches, anxiousness and others.

Sometimes, ordinary symptoms do not seem to occur at all, whereas, heart disease can be considered as a silent killer.

Nowadays, people can already avoid this one through education and learning about keeping our hearts healthy. Experts suggest that people should only be occasional eaters with fast foods products and rich foods. Dishes from these venues are best sources of fats and dead calories, which generally, contain fatty acids. Fats that are hydrogenated are mostly unhealthy and in fact, these contribute to heart disease and a lot more unhealthy conditions.

Absolutely without any doubt, smoking has proved to be a major contributor to heart ailments. It is important to cease smoking in spite of how attached you are to cigarettes. It is really not as easy as we say but to do this, one should be seeking the help of family and friends. A therapy could as well help. Moreover, find something to do to divert your attention to indulge the use of your hands except through smoking. Remember, when people usually say that man’s greatest triumph is self-conquest and it’s never too late and too early to make some health changes.

Diagnosis for this disease is frequently alone through a series, a few test involves electrocardiography which gauges electrical activity of a resting individual. Laboratory examinations consist of testing blood, ultra sound, radiological imaging, and nuclear imaging. Insetting esthetes into the blood vessels for accurate examination and diagnosis makes invasive tests.

Prevention of this disease requires discipline in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a strict diet. An individual should be extra focused through careful high amount cholesterol intake, diabetes, and other illnesses. Because of these factors, few heart ailments are triggered.

It is indeed true. There is always a solution for every problem, as heart disease is to heart disease treatment. Illness and its counterparts both exist. The counterpart is the treatment, cure, medication, remedy or whatever you want to call it. Drugs for blood pressure lowering are currently and easily available. However, beware of the side effects though. For people who have been suffering from a severe heart disease should resort to surgery, risky but fair enough. It is risky, since surgeries sometimes fail. This one is a very complex and dangerous illness, in some cases, cannot do anything in fighting it.

Adequate knowledge and awareness of this illness is a fair assurance of prevention. The whole world would surely agree, prevention is really far better than cure.

For centuries, legumes or dry beans, have played an important part in the fight against heart disease in the Mediterranean countries.

Here’s why…

Legumes contain essential minerals and vitamins such as iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, zinc, potassium, folic acid, and some of the B-complex vitamins

They are low in fat and sodium, which make them an ideal food to keep high cholesterol and high blood pressure at bay.

Legumes are also high in soluble fiber, the kind that lowers cholesterol.

They can help balance your budget because they are very inexpensive

Studies show that people who eat dry beans regularly have a lower risk of suffering from heart attacks than the ones who barely eat them. In fact, one study showed that consuming legumes four times or more per week, compared with less than once a week, lowered the risk of heart disease by 22 percent.

As you can see dry bean are an almost perfect food.

How Eating Legumes Will Help You Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease

1. Dry beans contain high amounts of soluble and insoluble fiber

Soluble fiber means that the fiber dissolves in water and forms a jelly-like paste with other foods in the intestine. This feature is very important because it reduces the amount of cholesterol circulating in your blood. Soluble fiber not only lowers LDL cholesterol, the “bad” guy, but it also raises HDL cholesterol, the “good” guy.

Insoluble fiber does not have any effect on cholesterol but it is very beneficial for our whole body because it acts as a natural laxative

2. Dry beans help remove toxic waste and cholesterol in you system.

Bile, produced by the liver, is a substance necessary to break down the fat we ingest in food. To produce bile, the liver grabs the cholesterol from the blood, converts it into bile, and sends it to the gallbladder where it’s stored until needed. Then, when we eat, the gallbladder sends the bile to the intestines to help break down the fat portion of the food. Once the bile has done its job in the intestines, one of two things can happen:

If our meal has enough soluble fiber, the fiber grabs the bile and takes it out of our body through the feces. Once the bile is eliminated, the liver responds by drawing more cholesterol from the blood to make new bile. The result is less cholesterol circulating in our system.

If our meal does not have enough soluble fiber, the bile is not taken out of the body. In this case, the liver doesn’t need to draw more cholesterol from the blood to produce more bile because there is plenty available in the system. The result is more cholesterol navigating in our blood vessels.

3. Dry beans stops cholesterol from even forming

When our meal includes soluble fiber, bacteria in the colon ferment it. This fermentation produces certain compounds that prevent the formation of cholesterol in the first place. This results in lower levels of cholesterol circulating in your blood vessels.



4. Dry beans stop homocysteines from causing heart attacks

Homocysteine is a substance our body needs to produce certain compounds vital for our organs to function properly. To produce homocysteine, our bodies need adequate amounts of vitamin B6, B12, and folic acid. However, when any of these vitamins is lacking, homocysteine is not converted into the necessary compounds. It then spills into circulation.

Many studies have shown that when homocysteine accumulates in our system, it becomes toxic. Even in small amounts, it will dramatically increase your risk of heart disease. High levels of homocysteine concentrations in our blood may cause a heart attack or a stroke, even among people who have normal cholesterol levels. Here’s how…

How can homocysteine cause heart attacks?

Abnormal levels of homocysteine appear can:

Damage the inner lining of your arteries

Promote blood clots

Oxidize LDL cholesterol

How to Lower Cholesterol, Prevent Homocysteine from Accumulating in Your Blood & Reduce Your Risk of Heart Disease

Eat foods that contain folate as well as vitamins B6 and B12. Legumes are an excellent source of folate and contain moderate amounts of B6. Recent data show that the practice of fortifying foods with folate has reduced the average level of homocysteine in the U.S. population.

Based on studies conducted during more than 25 years, nutrition experts at the Michigan State University concluded that eating 2 to 4 cups of cooked dry beans every week can protect us against heart disease. So start eating dry beans, garbanzo beans and lentils today.

Michael Crockett asked:


What is Ischemic heart disease it is the proper medical term for reduced blood flow to the heart it is ultimately caused by hardened or blocked arteries, and it is the number one cause of death in most western countries.

From the time people are very young, as young as five years old, they can start developing tissue deposits, called plaque, in the lining of their arteries. For many people, these deposits never cause trouble. For others, the deposits can grow, harden, and eventually cause death. The growth of these tissues is called arteriosclerosis.

As these tissues grow, the arteries will enlarge some to try and accommodate blood flow. However, if the blob of plaque ruptures, the particles clog blood passages causing a heart attack or stroke, in the worst cases.

Please, Pass On The Fats

Scientists know what causes ischemic heart disease: a fatty diet, inaction, and smoking. While smoking is certainly not limited to rich countries, a fatty diet and inaction are luxuries of middle- and upper-class populations.

In Europe and the United States, calories are cheap and plentiful. For an hour’s wage, a person can buy a meal containing a pound of meat. However, in some countries, a pound of meat is a treat to be divided within one family once a month. No doctor recommends either extreme of poor or rich food, but rather, everyone needs a healthy, balanced, but lean diet to prevent ischemic heart disease.

However, some doctors have an idea about using peer pressure to make westerners make themselves healthier. Thirty years ago, few Americans wore seat belts. And many more smoked cigarettes than do now. Laws played a part in changing behavior, but in both of these cases, peer pressure really started the trend. And many scientists, nutritionists, and activists, worried about ischemic heart disease, are trying to repeat the trend for healthier diets.

And this power of healthy suggestion seems to be working on restaurants. Especially since 2004, fast food chains have started to offer healthier menu choices such as yogurt, salads, and fruit. Many restaurants now print some nutrition information on their menus and offer specifically heart smart recipes.

But the question is will people take advantage of healthier menus, city recreation departments, and fresh vegetables at the grocery store? So far, it does not seem so. Some scientists predict that 75% of all Americans will be overweight by 2008. Yet extra weight and the bad diet and inactivity that usually accompany it are causing an epidemic of ischemic heart disease.

Congenital heart disease is the form of heart disease that a person is born with. The affects of any form of heart disease can be deadly, but for the person with congenital defects making lifestyle change such as diet and exercise will not prevent or reverse the effects of their form of this disease. Getting diagnosed early in life is the best defense against this kind of heart condition.

Congenital heart disease is an actual defect of the heart or large blood vessels that connect to the heart. This type of defect is something that people are born with. Other forms of heart disease form over time, and in most cases are caused by unhealthy diets and sedentary lifestyles. Most people are diagnosed with a congenital heart defect a week or two after they are born. Considering it is one of the most common birth defects all doctors are trained to recognize the signs and symptoms that a new born infant will present if they have this type of defect.

For the unborn baby this type of defect is not life threatening because they are still using their mother’s cardiovascular system, through their attachment to the placenta, to pump blood and nutrients through their own circulatory system. Their heart is beating and there are times that a defect can be seen with an ultrasound but the majority of defects remain undiagnosed until after the baby is born and their own heart takes over.

There are many different forms of congenital heart disease so the treatments for these forms can vary. For some people surgery to fix the defect is recommended, for others prescription medications along with a strict diet and exercise program will keep any problems in check. Anyone with this type of heart problem must follow the advice and program laid out by their cardiologist. Their life depends on it.

For those who suffer from congenital heart disease it is a condition that they will spend their life time fighting. While it is a disease to be wary of with doctors able to detect it early in life those who suffer from it can lead long productive lives. Medical science and technology is constantly making inroads into the treatment of congenital defects and this along with patients who take responsibility for living a healthy life style can effectively manage their condition.

With the advancement in medicine over the last 30 years Heart Disease is one of the most preventable diseases known to science. A much more pro-active approach is taken by both the patient and the doctor in preventing and treating heart disease. One of the best ways to prevent heart disease is to modify the patient’s outlook on diet and exercise.

In the past unless a patient had symptoms of some illness a visit to the doctor just did not happen. The only time a medical professional suggested any type of preventive treatment for heart disease was when the patient had symptoms, was of advanced age, or had a family history of the disease. Now, thankfully, a much more pro-active approach is taken by both the patient and the doctor in preventing heart and treatment of disease.

Medical groups such as the American Medical Association and the American Heart Association actively advertise that a diet low in fat and low in calories is a great way to lower a person’s cholesterol, which is a major risk factor when it comes to heart disease. Along with a regular exercise routine and regular monitoring by the family doctor the risk of you developing heart disease has greatly been reduced.

Prevention is now a team effort. Routine monitoring of blood pressure, cholesterol level, general weight and health, as well as indications of other diseases that might complicate the situation are all very important things that both you and your chosen medical professional should be on the look out for.

Some of the over the counter products available today can react with prescription medication prescribed by your doctor. Taking something as simple as aspirin can react with other blood thinners and you could be putting yourself at risk for a stroke or a heart attack. There are many drugs and over the counter products available to help prevent heart disease, and your doctor can discuss all the options available. Whether or not prescription drugs or over the counter products are needed for your situation should be decided after a serious consultation with your doctor and some monitoring of your health and lifestyle.

Common Vitamins and over the counter products can help with Heart Disease such as Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Niacin, Oat Bran, and Pectin.

All of the different Vitamin Bs taken together as B-Complex work together as a team to perform vital biological processes, such as energy production and efficient metabolic function. Vitamin B boost energy levels and help fight fatigue.

Vitamin C has show to reduce cholesterol levels and lowers high blood pressure.

Niacin is the closest thing available to a perfect treatment that corrects most causes of coronary heart disease. Niacin blocks the release of fatty acids from fat cells. Niacin plays a critical role in energy production, gene expression, and hormone synthesis. You cannot live without it. Niacin also tends to shift LDL particle distribution to larger particle size and improve HDL functioning. The intake of 3 grams Niacin for as little as two weeks can reduce serum cholesterol by 26 percent.

Oat Bran helps to regulate blood glucose levels, aids in lowering cholesterol, and helps in the removal of toxins.

Pectin limits the amount of cholesterol the body can absorb. High pectin count in apples may be why One a day keeps the doctor away.

If you are at risk from Heart Disease then find a good health care professional prior to starting any type of home treatment.

Always consult your doctor before using this information.
