Ischemic heart disease occurs when there is partial blockage of blood flow to the heart. If blood flow is completely blocked then a myocardial infarction (heart attack) occurs.
This problem can affect the buildup of plaque in our arteries. This is called arteriosclerosis which is hardening of the arteries. This can lead to blood clots that can cause heart attacks or strokes.Hardening of the arteries and blockage of major arteries is one of the leading causes of death. Even in his own heart disease kills more people every year.
The degree to which ischemic heart disease affects each individual depending on various factors including age, genetics, diet and exercise habits, and smoking. For many people who are at high risk is important to make certain lifestyle changes that will reduce this risk.
Because medical science and doctors know the cause of ischemic heart disease they also know the steps to be taken to prevent or reverse its effects. And steps that can be done to avoid the effects are actually pretty simple. Eat a healthy diet and avoid foods high in saturated fat, exercise more regularly to strengthen the cardiovascular system, stop drinking alcohol, and smoking cessation. By making the kind of simple lifestyle changes you can avoid and prevent this disease.
Saturated fat is one of the main causes build up of plaque in arteries. By avoiding fatty foods that contain fats you can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease. Even if you eat more fish high in omega 3 fatty acids you can significantly reduce the build up of plaque. Omega 3 helps build good HDL cholesterol that helps remove bad cholesterol (LDL).
Exercise will significantly reduce the risk of ischemic heart disease by helping the body effectively remove excess body fat and reduce the risks posed by obesity.
Only a few changes to combat and prevent ischemic heart disease.
