Warning! Ignore Heart Disease At Your Peril!
The Heart Disease Hit List
* FACT - Heart disease is the biggest killer in the western
world, and has been for more than a century.
* FACT - Heart disease related deaths account for more than a
third of deaths..
* FACT - A large percentage of heart attack victims die before
they reach hospital..
* FACT - The first sign of heart disease that many heart attack
victims notice is sudden excruciating pain followed by death.
Shocked yet? You should be! In-fact we all should be. Many
people ignore the occasional chest pain, the twinge in the arm
or shoulders after a meal etc, and take no interest in reversing
heart disease. Feeling safe in the knowledge that if they have a
heart problem they'll go to the hospital and get fixed up; maybe
take steps toward reversing heart disease through lifestyle
changes if the doc says so. Sounds like a good plan huh?
Unfortunately as the above statistics clearly show, the plan can
fail with tragic consequences, which could be avoided by
reversing heart disease through a change of lifestyle. Reversing
heart disease should be of prime importance to every adult in
the western world. Poor lifestyle and complacency are sadly all
too closely linked to the heart disease death rate.. Check out
the chilling statistics and you'll find that the heart disease
death rates are similar in every western country, and yet the
majority of people are still complacent about the dangers
associated with this silent killer.
The main risk factors are:
* High Blood Pressure
* High Blood Cholesterol
* Obesity
* Smoking
* Sedentary Lifestyle
* Stress
Combine a few, or perhaps all of these risk factors and you
have a lethal time-bomb ticking away inside of you, with
prevention being the best solution by reversing heart disease
through lifestyle changes.
Most of the major risk factors are silent. They must be sought
actively, and much of the responsibility for their detection,
and reversing heart disease lies with each of us as
individuals.
Regular checkups are particularly necessary if there is a family
history of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol
levels or diabetes.
There has been a slight decline in the death rate from heart
disease over the last two decades as a portion of the population
has heeded the warning and taken steps to modify their lifestyle
to reduce the risk factors and thus reversing heart disease that
would otherwise have progressed within their bodies. Despite
this decline however, the death rate is still far too high.
Another worrying problem is the high obesity rate among the
young population today and its associated health problems, of
which heart disease is only one. Many nutritionists and
scientist believe this generation of adults will be among the
first to outlive their children, a terrible thought for any
parent. This highlights the importance of reversing heart
disease factors for ourselves as well as our children through
education and encouraging the whole family to get involved in
making positive changes to diet and lifestyle. As with many
other degenerative diseases of our society, heart disease is
best prevented; rather than trying to gamble on surviving your
first wakeup call. Heart disease prevention is best approached
by taking steps toward reversing heart disease gradually and
always under a doctor's supervision. Educating yourself is also
a smart course of action for reversing heart disease and
specialist information will always have significantly more
effective results than non-specialist information. Heart disease
is no joke; it's a matter of life and death!

Without Drugs or Surgery.
