Great Nutritional and Fitness Tips to Prevent and Combat Heart Problems





How To Prevent and Combat Heart Diseases

Heart is also called THE ENGINE OF THE BODY. Usually, the heart pumps 100,000 times per day, 35 million times a year, 2.5 billion times in a lifetime. Human blood covers 19,000 km (11 806.0527 miles) every day. Each year, 17 million people are killed by cardiovascular diseases. This means that heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.

According to Dr. Ioan Coman, from the Romanian Society of Cardiology, fats are those that cause most cardiovascular illnesses. It recommends as a first step, reducing consumption of saturated vegetable fat, which serve to reduce blood cholesterol.

World Health Organization advises us all to ensure that:

- The value of blood pressure is below 140/90 mmHg
- Weight does not exceed the limits of normality
- We are not addicted to cigarettes, in other words to give up smoking
- Cholesterol is below 190 mg / dl
- we're doing 30 minutes exercise per day
- we're reducing as much stress as possible.

Daily physical movement is a great way to prevent heart problems. Aerobic exercise, such as walking, swimming, jogging, cycling, provides better immunity against heart disease.

Also, another important factor is avoiding excessive alcohol consumption.

According to Dr. Ioan Coman, we must respect a few simple principles: balanced diet with a low consumption of salt and animal fats, exercise, avoid smoking or excessive alcohol drinking. Start with low consumption of saturated animal fat to protect your heart.

Saturated animal fats are also called bad fats, they are found in red meat, dairy products like butter, cream cheese, in pastry, biscuits. From eating these foods in high quantities results high cholesterol and cardiovascular illness.

Good fats,  mono and polyunsaturated vegetables, are effective elements that prevent heart disease. Poor fish, vegetable oils, spreadable margarine,  peanuts, pistachios, seeds, are foods high in fats and unsaturated fatty acids Omega 3 and Omega 6, important for a healthy heart.

Royal Jelly and Honey

European Guidelines on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention urges us to stay away from fatty meats, fats, butter, sugar, oil produced by hot pressing, white bread, salt, pepper, paprika, ginger, marjoram or curry.

If you suffer from any heart disease, make sure every day to eat foods rich in fiber, fatty acids, vitamin K and magnesium. Do not forget to physical and breathing exercises, which also serve to prevent heart diseases.

If you're heart these elements are important for you: cold-pressed oil, apricot seed, soya beans, whole grains, apples, peaches, underbrush, lemon, rosehip, grapefruit, nettle, grape tomatoes, parsley, lovage, celery garlic, fennel, cumin, rosemary, cinnamon and fish, especially ocean fish that are high in omega 3.

You can also enjoy if you want a pasteurized milk or cream, only if they're raw, because they lose their nutritional value.

Eat daily a raw yolk, it contains lecithin, essential for proper removal of cholesterol.

Royal jelly is just extraordinary, to tone the heart, prevents nervous asthenia, fatigue and hepatitis. Help eradicate tuberculosis or cirrhosis.

Honey is a true wonder. Improves heart muscle, reduces fatigue and heart pain. Eat a spoonful of honey diluted in tea made of hawthorn or pigweed. And after two hours you can dine.
