If we have a habit of safe and healthy eating it can prevent us from heart disease because diet controls our disease, Britain still has one of the highest rates of heart disease in the world. More than 3000000 Britons suffer heart attacks each year. A disproportionate number of these people live in Scotland and the north of England where traditionally diets are high in saturated fats and low in fresh vegetables. Sometimes heavy coffee drinking may cause high blood cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease. But the antioxidants present in fruit and vegetables may help in the fight against coronary heart disease. Most people, however, bring about their own moderate increase in blood cholesterol levels. By consuming too many saturated fats, or by becoming obese. The risk posed by obesity can be reversed by losing weight, because weight loss is usually accompanied by a fall in blood cholesterol levels. This does not include crash dieting but heart problems are often hereditary. Some we can control-such as the food we eat, the habits we adopt and the exercise we do it improves our health. So we should take care of ourselves.
Among the major factors known to increase the risk of heart disease are raised blood cholesterol levels, cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes. In both men and women, the risk of coronary heart disease rises rapidly with increasing age. Heart disease tends to run in families, so that if either parent, a brother or a sister suffered a heart attack before the age of 55.
2. Regular exercise not only keeps obesity and thrombosis at bay, but encourages blood circulation.
3. Take one or two glasses of wine may benefit your heart.
4. Smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol are two habits to avoid.
5. Recently American research seems to show that the more green vegetables you eat, the less likely you are to develop heart problems
6. Eating moderate amounts of nuts-especially walnuts and almonds which are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids can also reduce coronary risk and can lower blood cholesterol.
7. Studies show that preparations based on raw onion or garlic juice help to reduce blood cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
This is the main thing that depends upon our eating habits. We should think before eating.
Which type of food we should take, it’s very important for our health.
Some protection is afforded to women during the menopause and afterwards from hormone replacement therapy, which lowers blood cholesterol levels and thus reduces the risk of heart attack. Nevertheless, statistically, older women are still more likely to die of heart disease than from any other single cause.
Thank you.
