Cardiovascular diseases remain one of the leading causes of premature mortality in Europe. Coronary heart disease (CHD) occupies a special place among them. It develops when the arteries feeding the myocardium become narrowed due to deposits of cholesterol, fat and calcium. The result is poor blood flow and risk of heart attack or stroke. But the good news is that many risk factors can be controlled.
The main risk factors are
- high cholesterol and triglycerides;
- arterial hypertension;
- chronic stress;
- sedentary lifestyle;
- unbalanced diet and smoking;
- metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
These conditions gradually undermine vascular health, accelerating the development of atherosclerosis.
Cholesterol and triglycerides: what's important to know
Cholesterol is necessary for the body to function, but an excess of "bad" LDL leads to plaque formation. "Good" HDL, on the contrary, removes excess cholesterol and protects blood vessels. No less important is the control of triglycerides - their excess is often associated with overeating sweets and fast carbohydrates. As a result, fat builds up in the blood vessels, increasing the risk of IBS.
How to reduce your risks?
- Eat a diet emphasizing vegetables, protein and healthy fats;
- engage in regular physical activity;
- monitor your weight and blood sugar levels;
- minimize stress and get enough sleep;
- maintain lipid balance and antioxidant defense with nutraceuticals.
