Broken Hearts
In the United States, the leading cause of death for men and women alike is, you guessed it, heart disease. It’s estimated that there’s one heart disease-related death every 34 seconds in America. That’s nearly 700,000 people in a single year or approximately 1 in 5 deaths.
Far too often, those devastating losses could have been prevented with the appropriate intervention. Lethal heart attacks and strokes rarely occur out of the blue. They are almost always the result of long-standing underlying conditions, including high blood pressure, chronic inflammation, and atherosclerosis.
The good news, though, is that you are not powerless. There are many things that you can do to help heal a damaged heart. The key is to understand your heart health status and then begin making consistent, substantive changes to get you–and your heart–from where you are to where you want to be.
The Importance of Screening
There are many ways to ascertain the state of your heart. Advanced tests such as echocardiography, electrocardiograms (EKG), and cardiac stress testing are generally used for those suspected of having symptomatic cardiovascular disease. However, if you are not actively having symptoms of heart disease, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, or swelling in the feet and abdomen, then you can probably get a good heart health profile from a simple blood test. A comprehensive blood panel that includes cholesterol and C-reactive protein screenings can give you a good idea of the overall condition of your cardiovascular system.
The Role of Supplementation
If you’re concerned about improving cardiovascular health, supplementation can be an ideal way to show your heart a little love. For example, there are a host of natural solutions to help reduce cholesterol, including CoQ10, citrus bergamot, and coratin (red yeast rice extract).
