Help for cardiovascular challenges
Deaths resulting from heart attacks have dropped thanks to progressive lifesaving medical techniques; however, the incidence is rising at alarming rates.
The incidence of all cardiovascular-related problems is increasing, despite the many drugs that are prescribed in an attempt to control it. What needs to be looked at is WHY. The body is not a "bad body". The body does what it knows to do to protect itself. However, sometimes these protective mechanisms create a worse problem.
The body doesn't just get up one day and say "Hey, I have nothing to do- I think I'll have a heart attack today and make this persons life miserable!" Many years ago I heard a quote "It takes about 25 years to build a heart attack".
Today, probably 20 years later, I think it takes less time, however, it illustrates that this isn't a disease that magically appears overnight.
The body in its innate intelligence will adapt again and again in any way possible to help remedy things going awry inside of it.
The most common causes include irritation from smoking, high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides, homocysteines, acids from caffeine, and many other food-related irritants. Since the body is always rebuilding itself on a daily basis, if the raw materials needed for the body to rebuild are missing from the diet, eating habits become a major causative factor.
Eating a healthy diet rich in vegetables (especially green leafy vegetables and the red vegetable family), avoiding irritating foods (such as margarines, hydrogenated fats, caffeine, carbonated beverages, sugar, etc.) and supplementing with good nutritional vitamins made of concentrated foods (not chemicals) is a good start.
According to The Journal of the Association of Physicians of India, "Non-drug therapies are vital in preventing and treating hypertension. The successive reports of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of Hypertension, WHO Scientific Report On Primary Prevention Of Essential Hypertension and National High Blood Pressure Education program's Working Groups Report on Primary Prevention of Hypertension have stressed on non-drug therapies."
The body can heal what goes wrong. We just have to look for those causative factors and change them.
