Heart diseases

Hypertension.
Essential hypertension (i.e. where the cause is unknown), which covers over 95% of cases, is an incurable disease. However, we can control it. The first important factor is healthy lifestyle: proper weight, increased intake of potassium and magnesium, giving up smoking, limited consumption of fat, physical activity. Hypertension can be also genetically transferred. This silent disease may have tremendous influence on our health and can lead to many further serious diseases. The risk factors include:

• Smoking
• Obesity,
• Diabetics type 2
• Intake of alcohol, tea and coffee
• Lack of physical activity
• Stress
• Diet rich in animal fats

Four stages of hypertension have been distinguished, based on the value of the diastolic pressure.

• Borderline hypertension (90-94 mm Hg),
• Light hypertension (95-104 mm Hg),
• Medium hypertension (105-114 mm Hg),
• Heavy hypertension (115 mm Hg and more).

Secondary hypertension can be very dangerous for your health and should be diagnosed as early as possible. It is caused by a substance released by sick kidney. What is more, kidney disorder lowers their efficiency in regulating the concentration of sodium in blood, which increases blood pressure even more.

Consequences. Hypertension may lead to serious lensions in blood vessels and multi-organ failures, the main cause of death in case of this disease.

• Hypertension leads to sclerosis.
• Hypertension is one of the causes of arrhythmia.
• Hypertension permanently damages white and gray matter in the brain. Is also the reason of cerebral ischemia, strokes and other potentially fatal diseases.
• Hypertension can severely damage kidneys and lead to their failures. Because kidneys are responsible for controlling blood pressure, their disorders makes the disease even more intensive.
• Hypertension is able to damage most of organs and tissues, however some of them are exceptionally affected: heart (hypertrophy of the left ventricle), brain, kidneys, and eyes.  Hypertension plays an important role in the development of heart ischemia and is one of the major reasons of heart attacks.

Heart is the most important and central part of the circulatory system. It is the only organ responsible for pumping blood in this system. The main artery, called aorta, begins in the left ventricle. The right ventricle is where the pulmonary trunk begins, and ramifies into the left and right pulmonary artery.

How does the heart work?

Blood circulating in the whole organism is gathered by the main veins that end in the heart: to the right auricle flows blood from the superior vena cava and infernor vena cava; to the left auricle blood from the pulmonary veins. The heart is stimulated by electrical impulses. The auricles contract firstly, followed by the ventricles. The whole cycle is repeated ca. 72 times per minute.

The most common heart diseases.
Ischemic heart disease (coronary heart disease), which causes insufficient blood flow in the heart tissue, is caused by blood vessel stenosis and if unhealed may lead to angina pectoris and heart attacks.

Cardiac defects. The most defects affect valves. Some parts of the heart are overburden and this usually leads to overgrowth. They can be divided into two groups – congenital and acquired defects. The often develop as a result of unhealed diseases.

Myocarditis. This disease is caused by viruses, bacteria and autoimmune diseases. It can affect heart, endocardium and pericardium.
Because the fact that hypertension may lead to many hazardous diseases, including heart diseases, which cause over 50% of deaths, it is very important not to ignore this disease and treat it properly.

How to combat hypertension
Among many natural products that can effectively help people suffering from hypertension, one of the most remarkable is the omega 3 acid. It not only lowers blood pressure but is also recommended for treating sclerosis and heart diseases. The Omega 3 dietary supplement produced by CaliVita. It dilutes blood and prevents blood platelets from conglutinating, and forming dangerous emboluses. It also contains vitamin E, which helps you eliminate free radicals and protects your heart from further damages. Finally, it is recommended to eat sea fish on regular basis (3-4 times a week).

Another exceptional dietary supplement, recommended in case of hypertension is Strong Bones. It has large doses of calcium and magnesium in its composition. It has been proved that lack of calcium in the diet has strong connotations with hypertension. In spite the fact that the overall consumption of diary products has increased, the recent research prove that the absorption of calcium from food is not as efficient as it should be. Magnesium can lower blood pressure and is recommended for all exposed to stress. What is more, lack of magnesium can lead to heart failures.

Magnesium is required to maintain proper balance of calcium, sodium and potassium. Potassium-rich diet is recommended for anyone suffering from hypertension. This supplement is a chelate compound, which makes it much more effective than the traditional preparations.

The Garlic Caps supplement contains garlic and parsley. For many years garlic has been regarded as a plant that can effectively combat not only minor infections, but also lower blood pressure. Although garlic used in our pills is highly concentrated, it is surrounded by a special capsule, which decompose only in the bowels. This protects the stomach and eliminates unpleasant smell from the mouth. It also enables it to be used by children. Parsley acts as a diuretic, similarly as do many synthetic pharmaceuticals.

Unibichinom is a vitamin-like substance, present in the Super Q10 dietary supplement. This substance becomes especially needed among patients at the age of 35 and more, when the overall level of it in the organism begins to drop. It is able to lower or raise blood pressure if needed. Unibichion can be also very useful in treating heart diseases, even the most serious. This supplement contains also beta-carotene, vitamin E and selenium. Vitamin E lowers blood coagulation ability and thus reduces the risk of heart attack and cerebral embolism. What is more, Vitamin E can lower blood pressure. It is a purely natural extract, so it can be easily absorbed.

Additionally, it would be a good idea to try the ProSelenium supplement, which combined with vitamin E could effectively protect your heart. One of the symptoms of lack of selenium are skin stains. Long-lasting lack of this microelement may finally lead to a heart attack.

All aspects concerning heart diseases and hypertension are always closely related to the problem of everyday stress. I encourage you to read an article entitled Stress. There you can find some very useful information that you may use to cope with your everyday stress and thus to improve your health. Remember, the scientists claim stress the scourge of modern times – one of the primary causes of diseases.
