Heart disease lurking indiscriminate people from all walks of age. Weight factor, high blood pressure, smoking, and exercise are lazy triggering factor.
Despite the deadly disease, many people seem to ignore the importance of maintaining healthy to avoid the risk of heart disease affected.
In fact, according to the American Heart Association, as many as 59 percent of Americans are reluctant to exercise that can improve the ability to breathe while keeping the stability of the heart.
“It should be noted is the amount of weight and waist circumference that you have. These two risk trigger other health problems is cholesterol and diabetes, “say Dr Donald M Lloyd Jones as chairman of the committee Heart Association Statistics (Heart Association Statistics). Excess weight will be a trigger heart problems.
“This modern food has more calories, and we do not do anything to burn calories in the body,” added Jones, who also serves as a staff cardiologist at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine this. Data in the year 2003-2006 showed, at least 11.3 percent of children and adolescents have a body mass index excess to their age.
Of course, this situation is not good, considering adolescent overweight has a 70 percent chance of becoming obese as adults later. Thus, preventive measures must be done, especially for the young. Jones argues, this is a long-term problems to be solved. Do not let young people realize the importance of health care when they stepped on the head five.
The problem, controlling the amount of cholesterol into the body is an act that many people still ignored if seen from the statistics of the Statistics Agency of the Heart and Stroke disorder in 2010. Few of Americans who suffer from heart problems to get treatment to reduce fat levels.
Moreover, only a few patients who do care and are able to achieve the target reduction in LDL cholesterol levels. LDL is the bad cholesterol that when the amount of excess in the blood will be deposited on the walls of blood vessels to form clots that can clog arteries.
“People who suffer from obesity, lazy exercise, and smoking is an easy target this disease. Surprisingly, many young people who turn a blind eye to this, “said Dr. Clyde W. Yancy, president and director of Baylor Heart and Vascular Institute in Dallas. He added another thing to note is to keep blood pressure so high not also be the risk of heart disease.
Stressed Yancy, smokers have a higher risk of heart disease as much as two to three times greater than those who do not smoke. People who eat their cigar or pipe smoking, seems to have a risk of heart problems is higher than cigarette smokers who consume white. However, this type of smokers actually have a level of risk of heart disease lower.
High cholesterol levels also trigger the disease. If the blood cholesterol levels increased, so did the risk of heart problems. Coupled with smoking, the risk is higher. Cholesterol levels are also influenced by age, sex, heredity, and diet.
Meanwhile, high blood pressure makes the heart become thickened and stiff. This is then continued at the risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, and heart failure. Another factor that causes this disease is a lazy exercise appears. In fact, physical activity can keep cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of diabetes, and obesity.
People who have excess weight, especially those who have a large waist circumference. Excess weight increases the blood pressure and cholesterol levels, while lowering levels of good cholesterol or HDL cholesterol for your body. HDL has a clear function of blood vessels from excessive LDL cholesterol.
HDL cholesterol levels high is a good sign as long as LDL cholesterol less than 150 mg / dl. Furthermore, obesity or being overweight can make the development of diabetes.
Many obese people claim it difficult to lose weight. However, only by eliminating 10 pounds be able to help prevent the risk of heart disease. Yancy continued, patterns of unhealthy living, obesity, and smoking among young people now, certainly would increase the number of heart patients. He also hoped in the year 2020, by 20 percent of deaths caused by heart disease and stroke could be reduced.
