Heart Disease Can Be a Silent Killer For Women.
Do you know that heart
disease continues to be the number one killer of both women and men in the Unites States, and that it kills more
women than all types of cancer combined?
Men, on average, are
prone to developing heart disease about 10 years earlier than women, owing largely to the fact that estrogenic
compounds protect women against certain heart conditions, leaving men more susceptible to a variety of heart
conditions.
After menopause, when
estrogen levels decline in women, both genders notice about the same incidence of heart disease.
Despite what we see on
television, when a heart attacks presents with classic symptoms of chest pain, left arm pain, neck pain, sweating
and so on, actually about 30% of all heart attacks don't have any of those symptoms.
Why is that?
Because the factors
that lead to a heart attack ofent develop silently. Think about clogged arteries for a minute. As the arteries are
getting more and more congested, there are very few signals that this is taking place. For some people, they will
get more fatigued or have chest discomfort with increaseed arterial blockage, while for others, there will not be
any noticeable symptoms.
And while
the initial symptom of heart disease may be chest discomfort, it is far more likely that the first signs
of your medical condition appear to you in the form of a heart attack or even sudden death.
The good
news
The good news is,
heart disease takes place of many years and it takes quite a long time for your arteries to become clogged with
fatty deposits or damaged by inflammatory diets high in Omega-6 fats. Because heart disease takes time to develop,
you have the ability to change the course your heart health is taking, simply by making adjustments to your diet,
exercise and supplement program.
While the symptoms are
sudden, heart disease happens over years as arteries become clogged, usually with fatty deposits or inflammation.
Diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, family history and gender are additional risk factors.
The cells lining the arteries become damaged and additional deposits of fat and cholesterol may become calcified,
eventually choking off the blood supply.
Dietary factors that reduce your risk of heart
disease These include, increasing your intake of Omega 3 fatty acids (generally from fish
oil supplements and eating cold-water fish), balancing Omega-6 fats: Omega 3 fatty acid ratios, and reducing
your intake of both hydrogenated fats and factory-farmed animal products.
Hydrogenated fats are found in almost every processed baked-good, including most
commercially and bakery-prepared breads, cookies, and crackers.
Take proactive steps to avoid heart disease in the future by making simple changes
to your diet, today.

To support optimal cardiovascular health, include
Coenzyme Q 10, organic flax seed, chelated magnesium and, as mentioned, omega-3 fish
oil.
