There are a number of risk factors in today’s society that can lead to heart disease. All of the following conditions can be avoided, reduced and/or eliminated from your body without medication through a few easy steps, but can make a huge difference. FYI: this is for information purposes only and you should not change any of your medications without first consulting with your doctor
Smoking
Smoking is one area where it’s good to be a quitter – smokers are two to four times more likely to suffer heart disease than non-smokers. Plus, food will taste better, things and you will smell better and it’s better for the environment (no butts everywhere).
High Blood Cholesterol
When total blood cholesterol rises, so does the risk of heart disease. Eat a diet low in unhealthy fats and high in vegetables.
High Blood Pressure
High Blood Pressure increases risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney failure and congestive heart failure. Don’t over-salt your food or eat too many commercially prepared foods that have high salt content. The body requires salt, so don’t eliminate it completely from your diet. Look for better salt options: Himalayan rock salt or Celtic sea salt.
Insufficient Exercise
Regular exercise lowers heart risks by helping to control blood cholesterol, diabetes and obesity while lowering blood pressure. Running as little as 9.6km per week can give you the minimal ‘recommended’ amount of exercise. If you increase to 24k - 40k a week, you’ll probably reach the high-fit group.
Overweight and Obesity
Excess weight increases the work the heart must do, and can lead to heart disease and stroke. Changing what and the way you eat with a sensible exercise plan can make a world of difference to helping you shed those unwanted pounds/kilos.
Diabetes
Diabetes seriously increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Maintain a healthy weight, and try to avoid high-sugar and highly refined foods.
Stress
The way you react or respond to stress may increase your risk of heart disease. Try meditation or other calming techniques to lower your stress levels. Studies have proven, that in some cases, the stress that you place on yourself about what you eat is more harmful to your body than the actual food you eat
Alcohol
Modest amounts of alcohol can decrease the risk of heart disease, but drinking too much can raise blood pressure, cause heart failure and lead to strokes, obesity, accidents and alcoholism. ‘Modest alcohol intake’ is generally defined as two drinks a day for men, one for women.
