KNOWING THE SIGNS
AND SYMPTOMS
OF HEART DISEASE
Getting To The
"HEART"
Of The Matter
The lifestyle and genetic factors leading us to know more about symptoms of heart disease are becoming better known each year. We are becoming more aware that adopting healthy behavior such as avoiding tobacco use, being physically active, reducing stress levels, and eating nutritious foods can help in preventing heart disease.
According to the American Heart Association, heart disease kills more Americans than any other disease, with 62% of all Americans having some form of cardiovascular heart disease. Nearly 2,500 Americans die of cardiovascular heart disease each day. That is an average of one death every 35 seconds.
Cardiovascular heart disease is any disorder that affects the normal function of the heart and the blood vessels leading to it. Causes of cardiovascular heart disease are atherosclerosis, stroke, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and high blood pressure (hypertension). The most common element in cardiovascular heart disease is a narrowing of or blockage in the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle itself.
Heart disease is a condition beginning in the lining of the body's arteries and blood vessels (the endothelium). When cell membranes of the endothelium become inflamed and oxidized, arterial spasms can occur, creating hypertension (high blood pressure). The arteries supplying blood to the heart also go into spasms, creating a temporary lack of blood to the heart muscle. This same scenario may happen in arteries supplying blood to the brain, causing a stroke. An inflamed endothelium also causes a "sticky" condition in the arterial walls. Cholesterol itself becomes oxidized by a lack of nutrients and antioxidants, lending to this "sticky" condition. Plaque begins to form when Cholesterol adheres to the endothelium, causing a more permanent restriction in blood flow to the brain and heart. This can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and can cause high blood pressure to be more challenging to treat. "How can we play a role in preventing heart disease?" Seeking more knowledge about the symptoms of heart disease is a continuing process. In my opinion, the best way to treat a problem is to PREVENT a problem.
PROGRADE NUTRITION
Helping Prevent Heart Disease
Nutriton is a key to preventing heart disease. Symptoms of heart disease will get worse with poor diets that lack the micronutrients necessary to maintain healthy cell membranes, like antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. Antioxidants found in PROGRADE NUTRITION can help fight free radicals in the body, helping to protect cell membranes, prevent the oxidation of LDL Cholesterol (bad Cholesterol), and prevent plaque formation within arterial walls.
"THE MOMENT OF TRUTH"
We can't control the genetic factors that we have been given. We can control our choices of lifestyle. The best way to treat a problem is to PREVENT a problem. Nutrient-packed PROGRADE NUTRITION offers much to those who are willing to optimize their health, boost their energy levels and do their best in preventing symptoms of heart disease.
