Natural Remedies and Tips to Prevent and Treat Cardiovascular Disease
Author: Raphael  | Posted: 22-06-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 83 | Rating: (100)  (?) 
The heart is a powerful organ that works constantly, without ever pausing to rest. Stopping to function for a few seconds means disaster. Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of death in developed countries. Each year 1.5 million people suffer a heart attack; 250,000 will die as a result before they reach a hospital. In the United States alone, heart disease kills one person every 34 seconds. Any symptoms of heart disease you that feel you should take it seriously.
Cardiovascular diseases are mainly caused by the environment, age, gender, lifestyle, stress, tobacco and unbalanced diet.
Age - The incidence and risk of heart disease increases as we grow older.
Family - Some people are particularly predisposed towards developing heart disease due to inherited genetic factors
Gender- Men have more heart attacks than women, but women have a higher death rate.
Lifestyle - Choosing a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly can help you improve your health and reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes
Stress – stress makes your blood pressure goes up, which can cause heart disease and other health problems. Besides heart disease, stress affects the immune system, which influences many diseases.
Tobacco – besides cancer, cigarette smoke is the leading cause of heart
disease. Three out of four deaths from heart disease are due to smoking
Alimentation – A good diet high in soluble fiber may lower your risk of heart disease. Several cardiovascular risk factors are heavily influenced by nutrition:
• cholesterol and especially the bad (LDL) cholesterol
• triglycerides (fats are as harmful as cholesterol when it comes to cardiovascular disease)
• homocysteine (risk factor independent of cholesterol and hypertension) which increases 3 times the risk of coronary heart disease.
• fast and slow carbohydrates that release insulin, which in turn, promotes the formation of cholesterol and fats
Let’s talk a little bit about cholesterol. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that occurs naturally in all parts of the body. To work properly, your body needs some cholesterol. The problem occurs when you have too much in your blood. Excess cholesterol in the bloodstream adheres to the interior walls of arteries; this is called plaque. In return, Plaque can narrow or block your arteries. Too much cholesterol is very common among men but also among women.
Very often, when a patient has high cholesterol, he is prescribed drugs (generic Simvastatin, pravastatin Atorvastatin). They are indeed very effective, but sometimes cause muscular side effects. Moreover, once the treatment is interrupted, cholesterol is back quickly because the problem is not resolved.
Supplements to prevent cardiovascular disease
The strongest prevention against cardiovascular disease is a healthy diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables and low in saturated fat, cholesterol, meat, and sugar. Supplements you need to intake in your diet are B-vitamins, magnesium, Omega-3 fatty acids, garlic, potassium, calcium, agnesium, and Coenzyme Q10.
Alternative treatment
Many alternative treatments can restore and keep your heart healthy. One of them, Chelation therapy, is considered as the alternative equivalent of heart surgery.
