Incredibly, heart disease has become the number one cause of death with the result that someone in the United States suffers from a heart attack every 20 seconds and someone dyes from some form of heart disease every 34 seconds. This means that, according to the American Heart Association, over 2,500 Americans lose their battle to this deadly disease every day. [ Note: Watch video at the end of this article. ]

Coronary heart and/or artery disease occurs when arterial plaque builds up inside the walls of the coronary arteries causing a blockage and restricting the flow of vital oxygen-rich blood throughout the heart.

When blood flow is restricted by a build-up of plaque, the resulting pressure, called angina or chest pain, can occur. When enough blood is cut off from the heart, a life-threatening heart attack can then occur. Some of the signs of this are  dizziness, nausea, abnormal heart beats and even shortness of breath.

Here are 6 of the top heart disease risks that can be avoided so that you can reduce your chance of developing chronic heart disease.

Your Heart Disease Risks:

Risk #1 – Weight: Obesity has become a major factor in heart disease problems. An alarming rate of 1 out of 3 American adults can be considered obese.

Risk #2 – Activity Level and Exercise: Lack of physical activity also can increase the probability of your developing other heart disease risks. A recent USAToday.com article from the American Heart Association stated that those who go from doing nothing to doing some type of physical movement, as little as 10 to 15 minutes of exercise a day, had an increased health benefit.

Risk #3 – Smoking: Research has discovered that smokers are twice as likely to risk a heart attack and 2 to 4 times more vulnerable to sudden heart attack compared to non-smokers.

Risk #4 – Blood Pressure: With the increase of cardiovascular disease and blocked or clogged arteries the heart has to work harder to pump more blood throughout your body thus increasing your blood pressure.

Risk #5 – Blood Sugar and Diabetes: Diabetes can become a chronic health problem due to high levels of sugar or glucose in the blood. When left unchecked, diabetes can damage the blood vessels, especially around the arteries that supply blood to the brain and heart, causing plaque deposits to form and thus increasing the heart disease risk of atherosclerosis and high blood pressure.

Risk #6 – Diet: Much of today’s North American diet consists of over processed and nutrient deficient foods which has a direct correlation to the above issues such as obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure.

Additionally, other areas which contribute to heart disease risk include stress, lack of enough restful sleep, not maintaining a proper body pH, above average alcohol intake, not keeping the body detoxified, high sugar intake, consumption of artificial sweeteners, consuming refined salt instead of using sea salt and not eating a 70 to 80% raw food diet.

The bottom line for helping yourself avoid the risks of heart disease is to make important lifestyle changes which revolve around improved diet with nutrient dense organic foods, getting your exercise, cutting out smoking, watching your sugar and salt intake PLUS adding very important, quality, nutritional supplements to your daily diet to help your body heal itself and thus help prevent a painful and costly heart attack, stroke, bypass surgery or angioplasty.
