Almost one quarter of all deaths are attributable to heart disease brought on by clogged or ‘furred up’ coronary (heart) arteries, a disease medically known as atherosclerosis that is caused by raised blood cholesterol levels. A big element of heart disease is your lifestyle and what you eat.

Easy activities like following a 7 day detox diet, getting some exercise, shedding a few pounds and quitting smoking can play a big part in cutting down your dangers of heart disease - you could also try using a foot detox to help mop up all those toxins cursing round your body.

Signs of heart disease

If you develop heart disease, you’re at enhanced risk of developing angina (chest pain due to your heart not receiving sufficient oxygen), a heart attack; an arrhythmia (which is an abnormal heart rate, which can cause breathlessness, lightheadedness and even death); or heart failure (when the heart can’t pump effectively, leading to shortness of breath, lethargy, swelled up ankles, and which might eventually reduce your life expectancy).

Atherosclerosis can also occur in arterial blood vessels in different areas of your body, including the brain, kidneys, or legs. This can lead to strokes, kidney failure, or bad blood flow in the legs and even amputation. Other problems of the heart and circulatory system include excessive blood pressure, heart attacks and varicose veins.

Most heart troubles can be fended off, or improved substantially by following some simple steps. To lessen your chance of heart disease, you should eat a healthy diet, cut down on the quantity of salt in your food, learn how to quit smoking, don’t drink a lo of alcohol, try an exercise every day, lose excess weight (there’s plenty of quick weight loss tips to help you), and try to eliminate your stress levels.

Green tea is very high in OPCs and antioxidants, and is considered to help ward off heart and circulatory disease, and is a tasty addition to a detox diet. At the moment the evidence for this is inconclusive, consuming green tea looks to be healthy, so it will likely be valuable trying in conjunction with other preventative actions.
