Power Foods To Help Prevent Disease
Did you know that there are over thirty “power foods” that hold the key to preventing disease, slowing the aging process and maximizing your body’s natural efficiency? Of course, there is no miraculous cure-all and scientists are still very much learning how the body works. But why not add some foodstuff to your diet that health experts can agree upon? Whether you want to boost your heart health or reduce cholesterol levels, the answer may be more delicious than you had thought!
For snackers, texture is a big thing. You love the crunch of a potato chip or the way a chocolate chip cookie just sort of melts in your mouth. The good news is that one of the power foods on our list has just the crunch you need to feel satisfied: almonds! Two ounces or 48 of these tasty nuts will give you 50% of your daily magnesium, which ensures heart health, as well as providing vitamin E, fiber and monosaturated fat, which is the good kind. One study last year found that participants who ate 2.5 ounces of almonds per day lowered their cholesterol significantly after just one month! Other studies suggest a link between almonds and reducing the risk of colon cancer.
For carnivores, a salmon, if cooked properly, can sometimes have that steak texture you crave in your dinner foods. The omega-3 fatty acids in salmon make it one of the all-around best fish to eat. According to the Pharmacological Research journal, adding 200 mg of DHA daily, which is one of the fatty acids in salmon, will decrease your risk of heart attack by 50%. DHA also helps keep the brain and memory in its best shape, so you needn’t worry about Alzheimers or Dementia if you take this into consideration and adjust your diet appropriately.
Perhaps you find that warm foods and drinks make you feel naturally happier. Maybe you’re a reformed coffee junkie. Instead, why not try a cup of tea? Chai tea is a delicious blend of vanilla, cinnamon and comforting spices. Generally black and green teas are the most doctor-recommended for fighting breast, lung and digestive cancers and heart disease. Additionally, a hot cocoa can provide you with antioxidant flavonoids, which fight heart disease and cancer, will reduce toxins in the blood and improve cholesterol ratios.
With most diets, health experts say that fatty foods and alcohol consumption are big no-no’s. You may have to say goodbye to butter, but new research suggests that wine, in moderation, holds benefits for the heart. Red wine is said to be the best, but even white wine contains tyrosol and caffeic acid, which reduces stress, as well as polyphenols. White wine has been specifically linked with improved lung function, while red wine has been linked to everything from lowering LDL cholesterol and lowering blood-clotting agents to inhibiting colon cancer cells and reducing the risk of skin cancer. Danish doctors recommend one glass with dinner weekly or even every evening to give you that magical health boost.
As we become older there are all-important numbers that begin to weigh to a great extent upon us. We have to worry about our weight, levels of cholesterol, as well as our blood pressure. These are some of the things that most of us have ignored for the vast majority of our lives now suddenly they have significant importance. However these are some of the thing that should not have been disregarded. A lifetime of misuse on the body establishes merely damaging things when left unchecked.
Your cholesterol level is absolutely important if you want to continue healthy and your body functioning properly. High levels has the ability to lead lead to heart attacks as well as stroke, both of these things you do not want to have to contend with. Being concerned when it comes to your cholesterol level is not just for the aging. It is something both younger people and older people must worry and be mindful of if they want to conduct a healthy life. In this article we will cover the basic principles of cholesterol and hopefully you will understand just how significant a healthy level is to your body and peace of mind.
What is bad cholesterol?
LDL cholesterol is bad. All cholesterol is carried by lipoproteins but the low-density lipoproteins moves in the blood stream and allows the cholesterol to begin to accumulate. If there is too much LDL then the cholesterol begins building up on the walls of the arteries. It begins to form plaque which makes the arteries hard and not as flexible. When clots form and block the artery a heart attack or stroke can occur.
How can you keep from getting high cholesterol?
You can help take steps against having too much LDL cholesterol in your body by exercising, not smoking and eating right. These three things are the primary reasons why people have excessive LDL. Yes, some of your cholesterol levels have to do with family history but doctors have proven time and time again that a diet rich in fish and Omega-3 along with a healthy weight will reduce the overall LDL numbers. The body needs to have plenty of exercise as well.
How is the blockage from the arteries removed?
The first stage is through medicines however if there is a life-threatening contracting or occlusion in the artery or blood vessel then a slightly more invasive operation is called for. The actual processes may vary however one common method is done through the use of a balloon angioplasty. The mechanical device is entered into the artery and then naviagted to the occlusion where the plaque build up has happened. The balloon is then inflated to clear the passage. Nowadays the routine is minimally intrusive and most patients are capable of going home that day.
What is the normal range for a healthy cholesterol level?
The American Heart Association has guidelines established for what is considered a healthy range of cholesterol levels. A total cholesterol level of 200 mg/dL is considered to be a desirable level since it puts you at a lower risk of having heart disease. Here is the trick though. It is not just about total cholesterol. Your HDL levels should be over 60 mg/dL and your LDL should be lower than 100 mg/dL. Mg/dL means it is measured in milligrams per deciliter of blood.
