(Medical-NewsWire.com, July 10, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- It is not a secret that maintaining a healthy weight is advantageous to heart health. It can provide protection from heart disease and other conditions that overweight people often suffer from, such as hypertension. The question is, how exactly can one follow a weight management program for heart health?
Researchers provide a weight loss guideline for a healthy heart. Coronary heart disease is the most common cause of death in the United Kingdom. It is caused by atherosclerosis, which is characterized by the narrowing of the small arteries that deliver blood to the heart. Restriction of this blood flow often causes pain or angina. Blood clots that form in the arteries often block the blood flow and cause a heart attack.
According to experts, the risk of coronary heart disease often increases by having high cholesterol levels, unhealthy diet and being obese. High cholesterol levels usually result from having too much fat in one's diet. Having excess weight can also contribute to hypertension, which increases CHD risk. Research has revealed that individuals with high blood pressure and raised blood cholesterol who were able to lose weight have experienced some improvements in their condition.
"Statistics show that 30% of deaths are associated with coronary heart disease from having unhealthy diets," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
There are many ways to eat well and enjoy food without jeopardizing heart health. Consumers can increase their intake of fruits, oily fish and vegetables as well as of wholegrain foods such as cereals and breads. It is also important to reduce one's intake of fat and salt.
Consumption of saturated fats, such as pastries, butter, red meat, biscuits and cakes, should be reduced or eliminated. Dieters should also avoid too much salt and instead use spices and herbs to add flavor to their dish. Becoming physically active on a daily basis is similarly important.
Fruits and vegetables are believed to help prevent atherosclerosis and whole grain foods work against heart disease risk. Oily fish, such as mackerel or salmon, contain omega-3 fatty acids that are believed to be very healthy for the heart.
Those who want to get a sufficient amount of omega-3 fatty acids without consuming fish may resort to using fish oil supplements. Many believe that this is the best alternative, since it is easy to take and it typically contains the ideal amounts of omega-3s (http://amazon.com/Omega-Fish-Oil-Supplement-Softgels/dp/B00O8NS20K).
