Preventing Heart Diseases Tips

To avoid coronary heart disease, you can do the following:

* Healthy eating pattern
Avoid foods that contain lots of fat or that contain high cholesterol. Seafood has a womb that high cholesterol can be dangerous to the heart. Reduce eat fried foods that contain lots of fat, the food can be processed in a way boiled, steamed or baked.

As much as possible, the food products we eat low-fat or no fat. Choose milk, cheese, butter or other food is low fat. Fry using olive oil has a little pouch of fat that can be an option so that when the process must be fried foods in a way.

In addition to avoid fatty foods, avoid the foods with high sugar contents, such as soft drink. Do not consume too many carbohydrate, because in the body, carbohydrate will turn into fat. Conversely, consumption of oat or wheat that can help keep the heart remain healthy.

Keep eating pattern is not excessive to avoid obesity, as someone who has a waist circumference more than 80 cm, exposed to greater risk of this disease.

* Stop smoking
Cigarette smoke is not very good for heart health, then immediately stop this habit in order to keep the heart healthy.

* Avoid Stress
Stress is very difficult to be avoided if you live in big cities like Jakarta, known as congestion and business. When someone experiencing stress, the body will release the hormone cortisol into the blood vessel rigid. hormone norepinephrine will produced when the body suffers stress, which will lead to increase in blood pressure. So, very good if you avoid the stress both in the office or at home.

* Hypertension
Problem hypertension or high blood pressure can also cause heart disease. Hypertension can harm the arterial wall and allows the channel to enter the LDL cholesterol and arterial plaque increase hoarding.

* Obesity
Obesity or excess weight increase blood pressure and high fat abnormally. Avoid or treat Obesity or overweight is a primary way to avoid diabetes. Accelerate diabetes and coronary heart disease increase the risk of heart attack.

* Sports practice regularly
You can do sports activities such as walking on the road rapidly, or jogging. Sports activities that are not competitive and not too excessive work can strengthen the heart and smooth circulation of blood to the entire body.

* Consumption of antioxidants
Air pollution, smoke or vehicle cigarette smoke occurrence of free radicals created in the body. Free radicals can cause a boil or deposition on the vein that can cause a stoppage. To remove the fetus in the body of free radicals, the antioxidants should be a catch and discard. Antioxidants can be obtained from a variety of fruits and vegetables.

* Offspring
One of the parents or relatives had experienced heart attack before age 60 have a greater risk of suffering from this disease. Therefore, if you have relatives who had experienced heart attack, you should be more careful in order to maintain the pattern of eating and lifestyle you can support the healthy heart.

Overcoming Heart Diseases

If you experience symptoms of early heart disease or had experienced mild heart attack, do not ignore it. You need a very early handling by trained medical personnel. This can save the heart from damage even more severe and can avoid the fatal consequences such as death.

However, if the symptoms of heart attack starts happening, it is important to seek immediate medical assistance. The biggest risk of death from heart attack is within one hour after the heart attack occurred. The fast and accurate from the medical team could save heart muscle from damage that can not be fixed. The more heart muscle that unsaveable, the more effective will be the heart pumping again after the attack. Do not delay temporize to get medical help because of fear is considered a no.

When the stoppage has occurred, the medical action is generally taken with the ring and kateterisasi that keep coronary blood vessel is not stopped. However, the stoppage occurred in the other vessel.

Scientists Prove Human Heart Can Regenerate Cells

LONDON (Reuters) - Scientists said on Thursday they had shown the human body regenerates heart cells at a rate of about one percent a year, a discovery that could one day reduce the need for transplants.

The study of 50 volunteers, using a dating method that detects traces of a carbon isotope left by Cold War nuclear bomb tests, raises the prospect of artificially stimulating the renewal process some day, they reported in the journal Science.

"It would be a way to try and help the heart to some self-help rather than transplanting new cells," Jonas Frisen of Sweden's Karolinska Institute said in a telephone interview.

"Taking advantage of the heart's own capacity to generate new cells either using pharmaceutical compounds or, if it is possible, by exercise or any other environmental factor."

Heart cells are unusual in that they stop dividing early in life. Doctors knew there were master cells called stem cells in the heart, but heart muscle usually simply forms scar tissue after damage and never fully regenerates.

In their four-year study, Frisen and colleagues employed an ingenious method to find out whether there is any regeneration at all.

"The DNA of all plant and animal cells incorporated high concentrations of carbon-14 released into the atmosphere by above-ground nuclear testing during the Cold War, and this unfortunate episode provides a unique opportunity to test cell population dynamics in human tissues," Charles Murry of the University of Washington and Richard Lee of Harvard Medical School wrote in a commentary.

Carbon-14 dating showed that overall, the hearts of their 50 volunteers were "younger" than the patients' ages.

Frisen said the rate at which the new cells are produced slows as we get older, with a young adult in their twenties renewing cells at a rate of about 1 percent a year, falling to half a percent a year by the age of 75.

"If you exchange cells at this rate it means that even if you live a very long life you will not have exchanged more than 50 percent of your cells," said Frisen.

"So at any given time your heart is a mosaic of cells you carry with you from birth and cells that that have been added later to replace cells that have been lost during life."

The finding could also help scientists determine whether some people are predisposed to heart disease, by looking at the heart's ability to renew cells.

"We are interested in studying whether some heart diseases could potentially be caused by too low an ability to replace heart cells," Frisen added.
