The Way To A Healthy Heart
Cardiovascular disease (or CVD), sometimes referred to as “stroke” in layman’s term, ranks as number one among the causes of mortality in the nation. With this information, it is imperative now that you be armed yourself with facts regarding CVD so as to stay away from it.
This disease happens when a thrombus (sometimes called plaque which is a build-up of fatty deposits along the arteries) dislodges first and then lodges in the smaller arteries thus causing blood to be blocked or to limit the flow to the major organs. Healthy blood flow is important because it carries oxygen to the vital organs in the body. There are many sites that can be affected with it. One is the heart, that when damaged can cause myocardial infarction (heart attack), the brain which causes cerebro-vascular accident (which is more commonly known as brain stroke), muscles which can cause claudication (pain in the affected areas) caused by poor circulation of the blood. The fatty deposits are also one of the main causes why aneurysm (bulging of arteries) happens.
According to studies, Americans are prone to this kind of disease because of their race, the stress they go through and the foods we eat. Because we cannot do anything about our race, what you can do is to focus on the modifiable factor among the three - foods that you eat and things that you do. Experts say that eating a healthy diet like more fruits and vegetables can help a lot in your health state. This is because of the nutrients, vitamins and fibers that can be found with it. Avoid fatty and oily foods because they contribute to the fatty deposits that, in the first place, are the main problem with regards to this disease. Proper exercise and maintaining a desirable body weight can also help in achieving that good health.
To those who have an existing medical condition like diabetes and obesity, it is best to consult an expert regarding it. Monitor your glucose (sugar level), cholesterol and blood pressure. Medications plus healthy living will help you in achieving that healthy heart.
Hospitals also take advantage of the technology in dealing with CVD. One good advancement that the Henry Ford Hospital created is their website for a healthy you. Log on to this yourself to avail of their free screening tool online. Have a healthy life and take part of this online innovation. You can also look up beauty information and facts on healthy hearts to the many health blog posts that are all about what you need to know about it.

Healthy Comes in All Shapes and Sizes
Contrary to popular belief, you don't necessarily have to be a size two in order to be healthy. Surprisingly, there are a great deal of people out there, women in particular, who starve themselves- who are bulimic or anorexic just so that they can "look" good. However, they may look great but their health may be awful. Many of these women stress themselves out over trying to be someone else. As a result, they may have high blood pressure or be anemic.
Perhaps the greatest example of a woman who is healthy and exudes confidence is Queen Latifah. In recent years, Queen Latifah has been embraced by the media (and by Covergirl) as a fantastic plus-size model. She is gorgeous and healthy AND she's not a size 0! The problem that a lot of women have is this image that the media often portrays of how women should look. We get our daily dose of it whether or not we want it. For instance, anytime you turn on the television, you see or hear reports of the latest female celebrity who has just gotten pregnant. The media will show pictures and constantly update the listeners on the physical status of this woman. Then after she gives birth, the media is still close on her tail to report how much weight she lost after she had the baby. Just look at Halle Berry! When Halle Berry had her first child, the media swarmed her only months after she delivered her baby to congratulate her on all of the weight that she had lost. She looked incredible and everyone wanted to know how she had done it. What were her secrets?
Never for an instant would anyone ever suggest that it might've been ok for her to weigh a little more. What if Halle Berry had turned around and told the media that she preferred to put on a little extra weight? Not in Hollywood! In Hollywood, beauty seems to be equated with how thin you are. Only in recent years have we begun to see a slight shift in this thinking with stars such as Jennifer Hudson, and even Renee Zellwinger. Women need to realize that they can still be beautiful with a little extra weight on them.
If you go to any doctor's office, your doctor will be able to tell you what a woman of your age should weigh given how tall you are as well as what age bracket you fall into. There are plenty of gentlemen out there who find plus-size women attractive. In a lot of cases, plus-size women have a lot more confidence than their skinny counterparts because they are more comfortable in their skin. Granted, there is a difference between being plus-size and being obese. Too often we get the two confused when we just lump them together. But there is a difference. Plus size women are healthy and love their bodies. They carry themselves well and they make no apologies for who they are, and that is something that we can all learn a lesson from!
