Around one quarter of all deaths are caused by heart disease caused by choked or ‘furred up’ coronary (heart) arteries, a disease referred to as atherosclerosis that is attributable to high blood cholesterol levels. A essential factor in heart disease is your way of life and which foods you eat.

Simplistic actions like pursuing a 7 day detox diet, getting some exercise, losing a few pounds and quitting smoking can have a beneficial effect in cutting down your dangers of heart disease - you could also try using foot detox patches to work on eliminating all those toxins flooding round your bloodstream.

Symptoms of heart disease

If you contract heart disease, you are at increased risk of developing angina (intense chest pain resulting from your heart not receiving adequate oxygen), a heart attack; an arrhythmia (which is an irregular heart rate, which does bring about shortness of breath, dizziness and even death); or heart failure (when the heart can’t pump fully, leading to shortness of breath, weariness, swelled up ankles, and which eventually might shorten your life expectancy).

Atherosclerosis can start in arterial blood vessels in different areas of your body, such as the brain, kidneys, or legs. This can lead to strokes, kidney failure, or poor blood flow in the legs and in extreme cases amputation. Other conditions of the heart and blood flow system include raised blood pressure, heart attacks and varicose veins.

Virtually all heart problems can be fended off, or improved substantially by taking appropriate action. To reduce your danger of heart disease, you should eat a healthy diet, eat a lot less salt, learn how to quit smoking, be careful of how much alcohol you drink, try an exercise every day, lose excess weight (there’s plenty of easy weight loss tips to help you), and cut down your stress levels.

Green tea is is very good for you, and is supposed to help reduce heart and circulatory disease, and makes a great addition to a detox diet. At the moment the evidence for these benefits is inconclusive, consuming green tea looks to be healthy, so it might be worth trying in conjunction with other preventative steps.
