      Heart Disease

      You may have heard of heart disease. Every day it seems a new article comes out about what heart disease does or what affects your heart. Not many people, though, know the full story.

      Heart disease is known to be associated with heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes may put you at risk. By understanding and managing these risk factors, you can avoid premature death and disability.

      Having these risk factors causes buildup in your arteries, the blood vessels that deliver oxygen and nutrients to your brain. When these arteries get too clogged, parts of your organs cannot receive what cells need to survive. If this happens in the blood vessels to the heart, you may develop a heart attack. If this happens in the blood vessels to your brain, you would suffer a stroke. These diseases can leave you disabled, paralyzed, or even kill you.

      What you might not know is that you can modify your risk factors and decrease the chance that you will ever develop heart disease. If you know how to lower the bad type of cholesterol and increase the good type, you can significantly prevent clogging or even unclog your arteries, reducing your chance of suffering heart attacks and strokes.

      To start to manage your risk factors, you need to get tested beginning at a fairly young age. These tests require repeating every few years, and if you are higher risk, you may need testing more often to determine the proper treatment. This knowledge will help to guide you as you implement changes in your life to improve what puts you at risk.

      Heart disease can be greatly influenced by your diet, physical activity, if you smoke, your weight, and your levels of stress. By making certain changes in these areas, you can reduce your chance of early death and disability. Simple changes, such as eating fewer calories and bad fats in exchange for more fiber, nutrients, and good fats, can tremendously influence your risk of heart disease. Even a modest amount of physical activity a few days a week, no matter what the activity, can have a huge impact. Not smoking and reducing stress can also make a significant impact on your risk.

      These changes work by modifying many risk
