Heart disease is known to be the number one killer in the world. The continuing clogging, hardening, and damage done to the inner walls of our blood vessels are the number one cause of heart disease and strokes. The process of atherosclerosis, which is the hardening of the arteries, will result in poor circulation of blood to the extremities, our brain and other organs.

The accumulation of fatty substances on the inner walls of our blood vessels begins early in childhood and slowly continues throughout life because of the modern lifestyle.

There is undeniable scientific evidence that high blood cholesterol levels are related with increased risk of coronary heart disease. It has become increasingly apparent that the direct relationship of cholesterol level to risk of heart attack exists in any way. Heart disease is a condition that is reversible through aggressive nutritional involvement and lowering cholesterol level. But, did it ever cross your mind that somehow there’s a way how to reverse heart disease?

Heart disease is caused by some factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, smoking, and many more. A person is like to get a heart disease if there are too much cholesterol or fatty substance build up in the inner walls of the coronary arteries.

When the demand for butter exceeded the ability of farmers to supply this desirable fat, the search for a substitute started us on a road to trans fats, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Not until 20 years ago did we finally discover the dangers of trans fats.

How Did Trans Fats Enter our Food Supply?

In the 1860s butter was in great demand and there just wasn’t enough to satisfy everybody. Emperor Louis Napoleon III offered a prize for a substitute and so, the first margarine was invented by a French chemist. It was created from clarified beef fat.

Are you a diabetic? Do you smoke? Do people around you smoke?  We all know smoking is a direct cause of cancer but if you have diabetes smoking – including passive smoking – leads to other health problems like heart attack.

Here are 7 reasons why mixing diabetes with smoking is a very bad idea:

1) You are more likely to get nerve damage (neuropathy). This is because smoking affects your blood circulation and that in turn means your nerve endings are not getting the nutrients they need. If this happens to the nerves in your feet it could lead to sores and infections and, if not taken care of properly, even amputation.

A lot of us don’t really get earnestly about something that a lot of us say, that ‘You are what you eat’. Not until we suffer from certain heart conditions and the doctor begins ordering “you can’t eat this and you can’t eat that”, that we understand how diet and heart disease are related, that the food we consume is immediately involve in many of the risk elements for coronary heart disease.

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death for both men and women; obesity and overweight problems continue to grow which increases the risk of coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, type2 diabetes, and stroke. The good news is, small changes to eating and physical activity habits can make a big difference to heart health and can reduce the risk of heart disease. A combination of healthy eating and physical activity can help achieve and maintain a healthy weight plus puts your heart in a better condition.

Diabetes is one condition that must be treated as soon as it is diagnosed, even though in its early stages it doesn’t hurt, or cause inconvenience, or create any worrisome symptoms. But ignoring it is a mistake, because the blood sugar imbalance we diabetics live with can cause a variety of complications, even leading to other serious health conditions.

One major cause for concern is adverse effects on our hearts. Our unstable blood sugar levels can cause poor circulation—a big step on the road to heart problems. Here are some things to watch for. Continue reading →

Science has founded that the body uses glyconutrients to forestall infections and disease, and slow down the aging process.  They are recently found out class of nutrients that have potent results on the immune system because of their power to care right cellular communication.

The link between gum disease and heart disease has actually been studied for years, but until now no concrete evidence can support the theory that gum disease can cause heart disease.  But although the evidence is not clear and accurate yet, the concept is so interesting, intriguing, and so strong that thousands of people are to some degree convinced that it is really the case.
