Khazen AthletiKare--Cardiovascular Disease

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

What is it?

disease of the cardiovascular system (heart & vessels) suffered by 62 million Americans
include the following: hypertension (high blood pressure), coronary heart disease (blockage of vessels of the heart), stroke, and congenital heart defects

How's it happen?

varying theories of damaging components of the American diet: saturated fats, cholesterol, free radicals, hydrogenated fats, and sugars, among others
lack of physical activity with a poor diet can lead to obesity which is predisposing factor for cardiovascular disease
vessels become narrow with a build-up of plaque, which eventually can clog the artery completely, causing a heart attack (if in the coronary vessels), or stroke (if in the brain), or pulmonary embolism (if clog travels into the lung)

What do you do about it?

For Prevention:

a balanced diet full of daily requirements of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and water
regular activity on a daily basis whether: functional (work or household), recreational, wellness, or competitive sport activities

For Treatment:

changes to diet and activity level to incorporate the above preventative strategies
medication to reduce hypertension, high cholesterol, and break up vessel plaque or thin the blood
more serious medical procedures such as: angioplasty, coronary artery bypass, and intravenous chelation therapy
