HOME TREATMENT ON HEART DISEASE

When we hear that someone in our family or a dear one has heart disease, we tend to worry only because we know how important the heart is. An article I read on the Web MD (http://www.webmd.com/) says that Coronory Heart Disease {CHD} is more frequent in women than in men, often because we are older when we develop heart disease and there is evidence that it is not related to menopause. Also a new study indicates that women respond differently to conventional treatments, and have different symptoms, such as shortness of breath and fatigue rather than chest pain or heaviness that men frequently have. The brutal truth is that when a woman suffer from a heart attack, she is more likely than a man to die, be permanently disabled, or have a second attack within a year.

Heart term is a term used for different number of different disease which affects the heart. The most common are: Coronary heart disease, Ischemic heart disease, cardiovascular disease, hypertensive heart disease, vulvular heart disease, hereditary disease. The term “heart failure” can be frightening. It does not mean that the heart has “failed” or stopped working. It means the heart does not pump as well as it should. About 25 to 30 percent of people who have heart disease don’t even know it until something serious happens. It is a good idea to see your doctor for a regular check up and have your cholesterol and triglyceride levels and your blood pressure checked and monitored. If you have chest pain, especially you feel you have an elephant sitting on your chest after climbing the stairs; this could be a warning signal. Nausea or stomach upset, sweating, even if you haven’t been exercising, and feeling weak or tired are some of the symptoms of heart disease.

Conditions that increase a person’s risk for heart disease are called risk factors. The risk factor you can’t do anything about includes: Male sex, older age, family history of heart attack, being post-menopausal. Other risk factors that can be changed include: Smoking, high cholesterol, hypertension, lack of exercise and obesity. Some ways you can reduce your risk of heart disease is to quit smoking, improve cholesterol levels, control high blood pressure, get active, eat right, control diabetes, and manage stress and anger.

Some of the home remedies for heart disease are: Use of amla- being a natural source of Vitamin C, it prevents heart problems. Also daily use of lemon prevents heart problems as it prevents the accumulation of cholesterol in the blood vessels. Beet juice is considered to be most effective, and daily intake of two pieces of garlic boiled in milk is beneficial for the prevention of heart problems. Fresh grape juice tone up the heart and apple juice and apple jam can be taken in liberal amounts. Regular exercise and brisk walking is most important for a healthy heart. Salt should be restricted and a well balanced diet containing fruits, vegetables and cereals with natural fiber recommended. Excessive intake of alcohol should be avoided and check should be maintained on the two main enemies of the heart that is diabetes and high blood pressure.
