The Heart Disease Guide - Prevention Approaches Diet by Patsy Westcott Fresh fruit and vegetables Good fats and bad fats Fibre ... Eating for a healthy heart One of the easiest and most enjoyable things you can do for your heart is to start eating a healthier diet. The best diet for a healthy heart is rich in fruit and vegetables (at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables per day), fibre, unrefined carbohydrates such a wholegrain cereals and root vegetables, and low in fatty, sugary foods. The good news is that, unlike in the past, when the emphasis was on avoiding certain foods, today the emphasis is very firmly on choosing foods you can eat to improve the health of your heart and blood vessels. Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Top Tip To make sure you get your day's supply of fruit and veg, aim to eat 3 fresh fruits either at mealtimes or as snacks, plus a substantial portion of vegetables and/or salad at at least 2 of your main meals a day. Fresh fruit and vegetables are rich sources of anti-oxidants, nutrients that help to prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, one of the main triggers of atherosclerosis. Upping your intake of anti-oxidants can significantly decrease the rate of progression of plaques in the arteries.

The UK, and Scotland particularly, has one of the highest CVD rates in the world. There is no single cause of CVD. Some factors contributing to CVD cannot be altered, but others are a consequence of the lifestyle we lead - and thus can potentially be modified. Risk factors for CVD Irreversible: Getting older, Being male, and Genetic/family history of CVD. Potentially reversible/could be modified: Cigarette smoking; Increased levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) - these are all fats in the blood; Being overweight; High blood pressure; Being inactive; Diabetes; and Having a tendency for blood clotting. Diet changes Making small changes to your diet is one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce your risk of CVD. You can do this by:

But exercise isn't necessarily a good thing if it's being done in polluted air, according to a new study. The new findings reveal the importance of avoiding outdoor exercise on hazy days. Many researchers have previously reported a link between pollution and increased heart attacks and deaths. The new study, reported in Monday's issue of Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, claims to be the first to examine heart strain during exercise - showing decreased oxygen supply to heart muscle when air pollution is high. People with heart disease were about three times more likely to have decreased oxygen supply to their heart muscle during exercise after periods of high level air pollution than when they were tested after periods of negligible air pollution, said Dr. Juha Pekkanen, a senior researcher at the National Public Health Institute, Unit of Environmental Epidemiology in Kuopio, Finland. Pollution health tips Avoid strenuous outdoor activity when ozone smog or other pollution levels are high. Highest levels typically occur in the afternoon.

One in ten American women 45 to 64 years of age has some form of heart disease, and this increases to one in five women over 65. Coronary heart disease is a disease of the blood vessels of the heart that causes heart attacks. Post-reproductive age women are most at risk Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. The risk for women significantly increases after menopause. Cardiovascular diseases claim more female lives every year than the next 16 causes of death combined, and almost twice as many as all forms of cancer. More than 250,000 women each year die of coronary heart disease.

The diet study showed that the Fulani of Nigeria had healthy cholesterol levels despite their high-fat diets. The researchers suggest the finding can be attributed to the population's high activity level, low-calorie intake and lack of smoking. Diet researchers took blood samples from 121 Fulani men and women aged 15 to 77 and measured total, LDL ("bad") and HDL ("good") cholesterol, as well as several vitamins, and homocysteine - a protein associated with heart disease risk. They also assessed the population's dietary nutrient intake. Overall, men consumed about about 1,670 calories - and women consumed about 1,485 calories - of which nearly one-half came from fat. And about half of total fat calories were derived from saturated fat. In the US, individuals are advised to consume no more than 30% of their calories from fat, of which no more than 10% should come from saturated fat.

Heart disease and diet It isn't airplane crashes or car accidents, or even murder. The number one killer in America is heart disease. If it were airplane mishaps or auto accidents, you would probably avoid those methods of travel. And if it was murder, you would certainly stay away from places in which it was most likely to happen. So, even though you might have had bad health habits, it's not too late to change your style to prevent-and even reverse-damage to your heart. The easiest place to start is diet. Change the way you eat and what you eat. And the way to start that is to avoid fat. The typical American gets a hefty 40% of his daily calories in the form of fat. This nasty substance clogs your coronary arteries with plaque-and that causes heart attacks. bodyOffer(4552) The dangers caused by dietary fat are: a.. Clumping of red blood cells - raises blood pressure, reduces oxygen in the blood, slows circulation b.. New plaques are created making them prone to rupture c.. Existing plaques grow d.. Clotting of blood becomes abnormally rapid - if a new plaque bursts, this can lead to arterial occlusion

This includes: heart attack stroke high blood pressure stable angina ... congestive heart failure poor circulation arrhythmias , or irregular heartbeats. Certain major risk factors have been shown to increase a person's chances of developing heart disease. Experts also believe other factors may also add to one's risk. These are called contributing factors. Some of these risk and contributing factors can be treated, or even prevented. Major risk factors include: family history of heart disease early heart attack or sudden death of father or brother before the age of 55 early heart attack or sudden death of mother or sister before the age of 65 increasing age 45 years or older for men 55 years or older for women being male Other risk factors include: smoking high blood pressure high blood cholesterol being physically inactive being overweight or obese diabetes Contributing factors include: choosing unhealthy habits to handle stress , for example, driving too fast, drinking alcohol , or getting angry using birth control pills when you are a smoker or have high blood pressure drinking too much alcohol having a change in sex hormone levels, as a result of natural or surgical

Got Heart Disease? Heart disease is America's number one killer, taking as many lives as almost everything else combined. Every day, 3,000 Americans suffer from heart attacks, and more than 1,200 of them die. Those who don't die often suffer another heart attack later. Because we now know what causes heart attacks, we can prevent them. Since the early 1970s, study after study after study has implicated cow's milk and other dairy products as a cause of heart disease and clogged arteries. One researcher, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn from the Cleveland Clinic (the top-rated heart clinic in the U.S.), makes people "heart attack-proof" by putting them on a vegan diet (check out his groundbreaking paper in the American Journal of Cardiology , August 99). It's not just the fat and cholesterol in dairy products, but also the animal protein and milk carbohydrates that are linked to heart disease, as the following studies show: "International statistics indicate that there is a close correlation between the consumption of saturated fats (dairy fats and meat fats) and the mortality from coronary heart disease, and this conception has been confirmed by many epidemiological studies," concluded a study published in Circulation , a journal of the American Heart Association. "Practically total replacement of dairy fats by vegetable oils in the diets … was followed by a substantial reduction in the mortality of men from coronary heart disease. Total mortality also appeared to be reduced."

Prevention of Heart Disease Diet is an important factor in heart disease. However, the issue of diet and nutrition is complex, as it is influenced by a range of social, cultural, economic and physiological factors, including the available food supply and its cost. The role of fat intake in heart disease is now fairly clearly established. The direct protective effect of specific diets or dietary changes is less clear but there are general health benefits in promoting healthy eating. Overweight and obesity are established risk factors for heart disease. Strategies to reduce the prevalence of overweight include interventions affecting behaviour, physical activity, diet and combinations of all three approaches. These interventions include salt reduction, dietary fibre increase, and an adequate intake of fresh fruit and vegetables.
