Health Issues Linked to Heart Disease

Nutritional Options for fighting Heart Disease - Part One

Nutritional Options for fighting Heart Disease - Part Two

Description:

Angina is related to coronary artery disease, and some people experience angina because of it.  Coronary artery disease is the buildup of fatty materials in the arteries due to atherosclerosis.  As the fatty materials build up in the arteries, the blood flow to the heart is limited.

Angina is chest pain or a sensation of pressure that occurs while the heart muscle is not receiving enough oxygen.  This can be due to narrowing of the arteries because of fatty deposits, or due to another abnormality that interferes with the body's ability to give the heart blood and oxygen.  This is a very common condition in the United States and affects nearly 6.5 million people.

Angina is typically triggered by physical exertion, weather, and sometimes emotional stress.  In these instances, the heart has to work hard and its need for oxygen is increased.  Although unusual, if the arteries are narrowed more than 70 percent, symptoms of angina can be felt while at rest.  Most people feel an ache or pressure under the breastbone, and can also feel pain in the shoulder, arm, back, throat, or jaw.

-- Causes of heart disease and angina --

Genes, gender and lifestyle factors (including smoking, lack of exercise and stress.)  Even when scientists eliminate all those things, diet still pops out as vital to whether your arteries clog or your heart gives out.

-- The Nutritional Approach --

Foods that have been known to help:

Fatty fish or flax oil (loaded with omega 3 fatty acids), fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, legumes, onions, garlic, olive oil, foods high in Vitamin C and Vitamin E and Beta Carotene.  Fermented foods.

Avoid meat and dairy foods high in saturated fat and excessive alcohol.

Nutrients that have been known to help:

Probiotics, Plant Enzymes (lipase), Vitamin E, Vitamin C, L-Carnitine, Magnesium, Omega 3 Fatty Acids, Potassium, Selenium, Vitamin B-Complex, Soy Isoflavones, Lycopene, Garlic, Proteolytic enzymes, and Probiotics.

Excercises that have been known to help:

When you exercise regularly, your entire cardiovascular system benefits.  This is because exercise prevents the onset of high blood pressure if you are at increased risk of developing it, lowers your blood presure if you already have high blood pressure, increases the concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol) and decreases the concentration of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) in your blood.  It also strengthens your heart so it can pump your blood more efficiently to bring much-needed oxygen and nutrients to the rest of your body.
