About Heart Health

About Heart Health
Heart is one of the most important organ of your body, resulting in death. Problems with the heart is divided because of cardiac failure is often almost into two parts, namely heart disease and heart attacks.

Heart Disease

Of heart disease is a condition that causes the heart can not carry out their duties properly. These include:

* A weak heart muscle. This is a congenital abnormality. Weak heart muscle that makes people can not do excessive activity, because the imposition of excessive cardiac performance will cause pain in the chest, and sometimes can cause the body to appear bluish. Patients with weak heart muscle is easy to faint.
* The gap between the right and the porch left the porch, because of incomplete formation of a separate layer between the second platform when the patient is still in the womb. This causes the blood mixed with clean and dirty blood. This disease also makes people unable to perform heavy activities, because of heavy activity that almost certainly will make the patient's body turned blue and shortness of breath, although not cause pain in the chest. There are also variations of this disease, namely a person is really only have one porch.

Heart Attack
Heart attack is a condition that causes heart was not functioning. This condition usually occurs suddenly, and often called congestive heart failure. Causes of heart failure vary, but usually the main cause is the inhibition of blood supply to the heart muscles, because the blood vessels that normally drain blood to the heart muscles are blocked or hardened, either because of fat and cholesterol, or because of substance chemical substances such as excessive use of drugs containing Phenol Propano Alanine (ppa) which can be easily found in drugs such as Decolgen, and nicotine.

Lately also often found in sudden cardiac arrest when someone is on the move, as is attacking some athletes in the world renowned football in the middle of a football field.Usually it is caused by the imposition of heart activity that exceeds the threshold, or the lack of warm up before exercise.

Countermeasures
There is no better response to prevent disease and heart attacks, in addition to a healthy lifestyle (as is often up early, not often stay up too late at night, and avoiding tobacco products and alcoholic beverages), a healthy diet (eating fibrous food and reproduce bersayur, and not eating too much fatty food and high cholesterol), and regular exercise and not excessive. However, there are some substances that are believed to be able to reduce or increase the risk of disease and heart attacks, among others:

* Some researchers say that the substance allicin found in garlic may help maintain heart health. Research shows that by virtue substance allicin, the tension of blood vessels is reduced 72%. But some other researchers have also stated that there was no relationship between garlic with heart health. In a study conducted in 90 smokers body fat, European researchers found that the addition of garlic powder for 3 months showed no changes in their cholesterol levels or some other sign of heart disease risk.
* Studies show that reducing smoking does not reduce the risk of heart disease. To truly reduce the risk of heart disease, one should really stop smoking.
* The findings, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology revealed consumption of Vitamin C supplements may reduce the risk of heart disease.
* Research has shown that reducing salt intake can reduce heart disease risk. Consumption of salt can increase blood pressure. In the experiment a low-salt diet showed the risk of heart disease up to 25% and the risk of heart attack up to 20%

Thanks to Heart Healthy Chocolate


The benefits of chocolate, especially dark chocolate, to prevent heart disease even more acclaim. Recent research shows, the consumption of chocolate in small doses every day can cut risk of stroke and heart attack up to 40 percent.

A number of researchers from Germany reported, people who eat chocolate about 6 grams, or about one square, has a 39 percent lower risk of stroke or heart attack. In this study, the researchers followed the health history of 20,000 people for six years.

Belonging to flavonoids of dark chocolate is believed to be the mastermind of the properties of chocolate for the heart. Flavonoids are a group of antioxidant compounds also found in tea plants, vegetables, and red wine. Research has proven, 1.5-ounce bars of dark chocolate has 800 mg of antioxidants, more of the antioxidants in a cup of tea.

The researchers believe compounds that can neutralize the adverse effects of free radicals intent on destroying the cells and tissues. Flavonoids also help the muscles in blood vessels to widen so that blood flow smoothly.

"Maybe a little too late to recommend people eat more chocolate. But, if people want to replace high-fat or sugary snacks with a small piece of chocolate, may be beneficial to his health," said Brian Buijsse, nutritional epidemiology experts from Germany Institute of Human Nutrition.

Nevertheless, the experts also warned against too much chocolate is consumed against obesity. In fact, obesity alone is a risk factor of heart problems.

"The results of this study do not advise us to continue to eat chocolate every day because we will become obese," said Dr. Robert Eckel, a former president of the American Heart Association. He added, chocolate is rich in antioxidants, but still needed more in-depth study to see the immediate benefits of chocolate for heart health.
