The Best Ways To Protect Yourself Against Coronary Artery Disease

More Or Less one in four of all deaths are caused by heart disease as a result of thrombosed or 'furred up' coronary (heart) arteries, a condition medically known as atherosclerosis that is brought on by increased blood cholesterol levels. A serious element of heart disease is your lifestyle and which foods you eat.

Simplistic activities like following a 1 week detox, making sure you get some exercise, shedding a few pounds and laying off smoking can have a major impact in reducing your risks of heart disease - you could also try using foot detox pads to assist in mopping up all those toxins flooding round your body.

Warning signs of heart disease

If you contract heart disease, you are at greater risk of developing angina (intense chest pain due to the heart not receiving enough oxygen), a heart attack; an arrhythmia (which is an irregular heart rate, which will bring on breathlessness, dizziness and in many cases death); or heart failure (when the heart is unable to pump efficiently, leading to shortness of breath, fatigue, swollen ankles, and which could eventually shorten your life expectancy).

Coronary Artery Disease also occurs in arteries in different areas of the body, particularly the brain, kidneys, or legs. This can lead to strokes, kidney failure, or poor circulation in the legs and in extreme cases amputation. Other health issues of the heart and circulatory system include high blood pressure, heart attacks and varicose veins.

Most heart problems can be warded off, or improved significantly by making simple changes to your lifestyle and eating habits. To reduce your chance of heart disease, you are advised to eat a healthy diet, eat a lot less salt, learn how to quit smoking, be careful of how much alcohol you drink, try an exercise every day, lose excess weight (there's plenty of quick weight loss diets to help you), and bring down your stress levels.

At the moment the evidence for this is inconclusive, consuming green tea looks to be healthy, so it may well be valuable trying along with other preventative steps.
