CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

AVOID
Excessive alcohol
Tobacco use in any form
Salty foods(if u have hypertension).

Heart and blood vessel disease remain leading causes of death despite dramatic reductions in their incidence since the 1960s. roughly one will suffer a heart attack and a million die every year as a result of a stroke or heart attack In addition to the risk for premature death, cardiovascular disease represents a heavy financial burden to the heath care system.

Another large-scale study, the ‘seven countries study’ compared the incidence of heart disease among men in seven countries and then correlated these statistics with diet, smoking habits, physical activity, and other lifestyle factors.

Poor diet is instrumental in most other factors; these include high cholesterol, which promotes the buildup of fatty deposits in the coronary arteries and leads to angina and heart attacks; obesity, which increases the risk of heart attach and contributes to other cardiovascular risk factors; high blood pressure, which can lead to a stroke and heart attack, diabetes, and other vital organs; and excessive alcohol use, which harms the heart and blood vessels.

A HEART-HEALTHY DIET
If the wrong diet can promote heart disease, the right one can reduce the risk. This is true, even in the face of such unalterable risk factors as advancing age and a family history of heart attacks.
There is nothing radical about a heart-healthy diet; in fact, it’s the same commonsense balanced regimen that protects against cancer, adult-onset diabetes, and obesity.
Ideally, smart eating should be instilled during childhood, which is when atherosclerosis-the clogging of arteries with fatty deposits-begins. By that time, however, it may be too late; in a distressing number of cases, the first indication of heart disease is a fatal heart attack.
In addition to encouraging a low-fat diet, it’s also a good idea to accustom children to the natural flavor of foods, rather than adding lots of salt. While there are some conflicting reports, numerous studies show that populations with a high intake of salty foods have an
Increased incidence of hypertension.
A group of researchers in finland identified excessive iron as another dietary factor that may well damage the heart and blood vessels. While it was already well known that excessive iron damages the heart, liver, and other vital organs, this was the first time that iron levels in the high-normal range were linked to a serious health risk. It reinforces the long-standing advice not to take any supplements without first consulting a doctor.
