Heart Problems of Adults
The term heart disease (coronary heart disease) is a term that describes many heart disorders, including high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, and clogging of the arteries.

Any number of diseases related to the heart and blood vessels can come under the umbrella of heart disease. Grouped together these diseases are the leading cause of death in the Western world.

The most common types of heart disease occur due to inadequate blood flow to the heart muscle.

Your heart is a living pump. It works to keep your blood moving and oxygenated. A network of blood vessels called coronary arteries supply blood and nutrients to your heart to keep it functioning.

The heart pumps ‘used’ blood through the lung capillaries where waste gas (carbon dioxide) is expelled and fresh oxygen is taken up. This fresh oxygenated blood is bright red and is pumped through the aorta (the main artery of the heart) into the capillaries, where nutrient and oxygen exchange within cells takes place. It then returns to the heart through veins.

Heart failure, for whatever reason, can be fatal. The heart is one of the hardest working organs in the body. It contracts and expands around 100,000 times a day, it supplies 96,000 kilometres of blood vessels and pumps in excess of 10,000 litres of blood around the body each day. This constant action is stressful and makes this system particularly vulnerable to damage and disease.

Heart disease is any disorder that affects the heart's ability to function in this normal way.

Decades of research show that poor lifestyle choices, beginning in childhood, are the main causes of cardiovascular disease. Ongoing factors, such as poor diet, nutritional deficiency, lack of exercise, poor fluid intake and increased toxicity and stresses form a recipe for circulatory disaster.

All of the above are major risk factors. More specifically, high blood pressure - hypertension (itself a result of any/all of the above), tobacco use, increased intake of saturated fats, lack of essential antioxidants (excessive exposure to free radicals via pesticides, chlorinated water, air pollutants and other toxic chemicals, for example, is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease), elevated blood cholesterol, convenience lifestyle (i.e. reduced exercise) and genetic predisposition.

All these and more lead to increased stress factors, obesity and diabetes... in turn leading to heart attacks, strokes, artherosclerosis, and more

Nutritional deficiency and toxicity
It is never too late to begin improving heart health. By eliminating risk factors and properly managing your health, you can greatly reduce your risk of heart disease, and even begin to heal disease that is already present.

Most people become vulnerable to these diseases because of a weakened immune system and systemic and organ-related weaknesses as a result of inadequate nutrition. This more often than not starts in early life, but continues to reduce health throughout life. Nutritional deficiencies, chemical and environmental toxicities are the major reason for the accentuation of most, if not all of the above risk factors.

Whereas conventional drugs aim to suppress and stem symptoms, the natural approach aims at containing and even reversing the underlying causes of cardiovascular disease, such as the beginning of atherosclerosis. Nutritional supplements and dietary interventions are generally based on the principles that aim at preventative measures too.

Diet and lifestyle changes and correct nutritional supplementation are categorically the most important tools in the natural treatment of cardiovascular disease.
