HEALTHY HEART FOR A
HEALTHY YOU
The heart is actually the powerhouse of the
circulatory system. Rhythmic contractions of
this muscular pump push blood along the
blood vessels to all parts of the body, even to
its far extremities, and back to the heart
again. The beating heart ensures that every
cell of the body has an uninterrupted supply
of food, oxygen, and other essentials. So
powerful is the heart that it can pump the
body´s entire blood volume of 5 liters (8.8
pints) around the body once every minute. On
average, it beats, or pumps, 70 times a minute
when the body is at rest, yet can increase this
rate if the body is active. Over a lifetime of
70 years, the heart beats some 2.5 billion
times without tiring or stopping for a rest.
Our hearts need to be healthy.
In our extremely busy life, we work under
extremely heavy stress. Simultaneously, we
are also looking for ways to lead a healthy
life. This is because, stress leads to various
health disorders that are a manifestation of
underlying imbalance in body and in mind.
relaxes to pump blood continuously to every
part of your body. If your heart muscle
becomes weak or stiff, your heart valves
develop problems, or other health conditions
reduce or change your heart's pumping ability,
it's called congestive heart failure (CHF).
Despite the name, having heart failure doesn't
mean that your heart is about to stop or has
stopped working.
With CHF, your heart isn't pumping enough
blood to meet your body's needs (low output),
or it's pumping at a pressure that's too high, so
that fluid backs up from your heart into your
lungs, ankles, abdomen, and other parts of your
body (fluid congestion). Some people with
heart failure can have both low output and
congestion.
Because shortness of breath is the most
common symptom of CHF, it's sometimes
confused with asthma or a "chronic cough."
The shortness of breath associated with CHF is
often worse when you're lying flat. You may
also notice swelling in your legs or ankles.
Arrhythmia
Arrhythmia means that your heart beats too
fast, too slow, or irregularly. There are many
types, but here are a few common ones. These
are:
Atrial Fibrillation, an irregular and often
rapid heartbeat
Paroxysmal Supraventricular Sachycardia
a fast heartbeat
Premature Ventricular Contractions
(PVCs), skipped heartbeats
Valvular Heart Disease
There are four different valves in the heart, and
each of them can develop problems.
A healthy heart can help your body to function
properly, and can pump blood to the rest of the
body while preventing heart attacks, strokes,
and certain diseases of the heart.
Common Heart Diseases:
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
This is the most common heart disease. It
occurs when bad cholesterol builds up plaque
in your heart's arteries.
In early stages, CAD has no symptoms. When
plaque gets large enough to block your blood
flow, you may feel symptoms like chest pain,
shortness of breath, and fatigue. Chest pain is a
more common symptom in men than in
women.
If plaque ruptures, a blood clot forms and
blocks an artery to your heart. Because the clot
blocks the artery, the blood can't deliver its
oxygen to part of your heart, so some of your
heart's muscle becomes damaged, perhaps
permanently. This is known as a myocardial
infarction, or heart attack .
Heart Failure
Your heart is a muscle, and it contracts and

Sometimes children are born with heart valve
problems, but infections can also damage the
heart valves over time.
Aortic Aneurysms
The aorta is the large blood vessel that carries
blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
An aortic aneurysm is when the aorta
enlarges or develops a bulge, due to inherited
diseases or longstanding high blood pressure
or high cholesterol. Aortic aneurysms can
burst, and the consequences can be serious.
Heart problems at birth
Some children are born with heart defects. These problems may involve the valves, the vessels leading to and from the heart, or a hole between the pairs of heart chambers. Related Conditions:
Low blood pressure (hypotension)
Metabolic Syndrome
Peripheral Vascular Disease
Stroke
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
How to have a Healthy Heart?
Bad cholesterol or poor diet is something we
do from time to time. It is impossible to eat
healthy food all the time, but we can try to do
this without a doubt there are moments that
are difficult to avoid poor diet. Healthy eating
for your heart is something we all must do,
especially for those who have a high risk of
diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
We know this – a diet high in saturated fat
increase cholesterol, high cholesterol is
closely linked (risk) with heart disease. And
we also know that obese people have a high
risk for several diseases, including heart
disease. High in sodium increases blood
pressure, which causes inflammation and
even heart disease. Examples of foods high in
sodium include salt, cereals, canned foods,
soy sauce, spaghetti sauce and teriyaki sauce.
Practical ways to reduce fat in diet
Grill, steam, poach, bake, microwave, braise or
casserole food instead of frying or roasting
with extra fat.
Cook meat on a rack and allow fat to drain off.
Choose lean cuts of meat, trim off fat before
cooking. Eat smaller portions of meat. Extend
meat and poultry dishes by using pulses,
cereals and vegetables.
Avoid using meat products such as sausages,
beef burgers, pate. Watch out for the low fat
versions of these but remember they do still
contain fat.
Eat chicken, turkey and fish more often, these
contain less fat than red meat. Remove skin
from poultry.
Low fat sauces can be made by mixing
cornflower with skimmed milk or vegetable
stock.
Choose low fat spreads instead of ordinary
margarines or butter, use skimmed milk instead
of full cream milk (skimmed milk is not
suitable for children under 5 years of age).
Replace ordinary hard cheese with low fat or
reduced fat varieties e.g. cottage cheese. Use
low fat yoghurt or low fat fromage frais instead
of cream.
Exercise
The heart is a muscle that pumps blood around
the body, and like all muscles it needs
exercise/activity. Exercise is a good way to
stay healthy, without it the body becomes more
prone to illness and disease.
Facts about exercise
Exercise helps to burn excess calories and
helps people to lose weight. It has a direct
beneficial effect on the cholesterol and other
fats in the blood too.
Exercise improves the circulation and helps the
heart work more efficiently; this helps protect
against heart disease.
Exercise can strengthen bones and keep the
joints and muscles supple.
Exercise is a good stress reliever.
To help prevent heart disease and improve
your health in general. some tips and food in
the background is very good for the health of
the heart.
Eat Healthy
Choice of healthy oils and fats
Foods that contain saturated fat increases the
risk of heart disease. Found in butter, meat and
coconut oil even. You should avoid until their
cholesterol levels and are at a healthy weight.
Instead you can enjoy seafood and nuts of
alternative source of protein. After reaching a
healthy weight can some while can eat meat,
provided that it is possible to select a healthy
meat. You eat a lot of fish, but to eat
significant results herring, sardines and
salmon, which is a type of fish that contain
large amounts of Omega 3 essential fatty acids.
The monounsaturated fats in olive oil helps
protect the heart from heart disease. Olive oil is
an ideal choice for cooking or dressing.
Selection of carbohydrates
Eating for heart consists of staying away from
foods containing sugar such as candy, cookies,
tarts and cakes. Eating too much sugar isn’t
good for heart disease at all. Healthy
carbohydrates mean loaves of whole grain,
wheat pasta, brown rice, and plenty of
vegetables. You must make fruits and
vegetables, the main aspect of your diet.
To make the appropriate changes to your diet,
remember that you need time to become a
habit. Eating healthy is always good for the
body and the heart.

important way to look after the arteries. Other
things are also important:

Exercise helps people sleep.
Exercise can and should be enjoyable.
Exercise need not cost anything.
How to begin?
Anyone who has not exercised for a while,
should not over do it, begin slowly and
steadily.
Exercise does not have to be exhausting runs,
buying expensive equipment or joining a
health club. Building a brisk walk into the
daily routine can be enough to give the heart
the workout/activity it needs.
First Steps
Do some walking everyday.
Think twice before using the car or bus.
Use stairs instead of lifts or escalators.
Involve the family. Walking is good for
everyone, including children.
Whatever exercise is chosen make it
something that is enjoyable. There is no point
in doing something that will become a chore.
Activities such as walking, cycling or
swimming are easier to keep up as people
grow older, because the pace can be
controlled. Another suggestion is to explore
the local leisure centre. There will be plenty
of choices there for all fitness levels.
Keep fit classes are worth investigating.
Graduated exercises, preferably under
professional supervision are also worthwhile.
A Few Sensible Precautions
People with a history of heart disease, high
blood pressure, or who have not exercised
in a long time should consult the doctor
about exercise before they begin.
Do not indulge in vigorous outdoor
exercise in very hot or cold weather, or
within two hours of a heavy meal.
Always warm up.
Allow time for “cooling down” relaxation
after exercise.
Check the credentials of anyone offering
supervision as a trainer, coach or aerobic
dance instructor.
Remember People with respiratory problems or heart
disease should check with the doctor before
starting regular exercise. It is possible that
extra precautions may be needed.
Walk regularly and build up gradually. It may
take about 8 to 12 weeks to start to feel the
difference but it will be worth it.
TAKE IT IN YOUR STRIDE
Anyone who has not exercised for a while,
should follow this simple guide to build up
their walking power.
WEEKS 1 AND 2 – Brisk walking for 5 to 10
minutes, 2 or 3 times a week.
3
WEEKS 3 AND 4 – Increase to 10 to 15
minutes, 2 or 3 times a week.
WEEKS 5 AND 6 – 15 to 20 minutes,
3 or 5 times a week.
When walking let the arms swing easily by the
sides. Walk fast enough to breathe deeply, but
not so fast that a conversation cannot take
place.
When 20 minutes brisk walking 5 times a week
is reached, gradually make the walks longer or
introduce a gradual climb into the walk.
Special equipment is not needed just a good
pair of strong and comfortable shoes (trainers,
for example) which support the heels and
arches.
