Heart disease is part of a broader health problem that is commonly called cardiovascular disease. This includes not only the heart itself, but also all the veins, arteries, capillaries and other blood vessels running from your head to your feet. Blocked blood vessels lead to heart attack, stroke, erectile dysfunction, back problems, poor wound healing and more. Why? Because when blood vessels are blocked they cannot bring blood, nutrients or oxygen to the rest of your body. When this happens, the heart and brain, among other areas, cannot function. They become, literally, starved.
Heart disease seems hereditary, but is it? This is an unanswered question because it is more than likely that heart disease continues through generations due to eating and lifestyle habits. Such habits are patterns of behavior, and not genetic traits. This means that if you create new, healthier habits, you will be better off than your father, mother or grandparents who have suffered from cardiovascular disease. Heart disease is preventable, This includes blocked arteries, chest pains, and heart attacks. Visits to the emergency room, bypass surgery and pacemakers can be avoided.
Here are 5 Steps you can take to prevent heart disease
1) Get rid of all altered, bad fats from your diet (eat only organic olive oil, organic coconut oil, organic butter)
2) Exercise
3) Detoxify your life: avoid air pollution, bug sprays, fumes, smoke
4) Decrease your stress
5) Eat mostly vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds; no junk food
More than 60 million people a year suffer with cardiovascular disease. Now we know that this isn't necessary.
