Name ideas for a Heart disease/stroke club

Name ideas for a Heart disease/stroke club?
Okay well, I am thinking about making a club at school to raise awareness for heart disease and strokes. We are thinking of using the Heart & Stroke foundation as our sponsor company. However, we need to think of an original name for the club. Any suggestions?

Fish oil loaded with Omega 3 is fantastic for cholesterol and blood pressure. Not sure about the cancer part but there alot of vegetables that reduce the risk of certain cancers. Broccoli is one that helps prevent several.
2 :
You'll do better to rely on a diet that's low in fat and cholesterol, and get more exercise. One little vitamin is not a magic bullet that will save you from what you really need.
3 :
Hi Word, health goes way beyond just taking a daily supplement. Cancer needs acid to live so it is believed that if one eats a diet that is balanced on the acid/alkaline side cancer would not be able to live. Heart disease again can be prevented through a healthy diet (eating the right fats, whole unprocessed foods) and exercise. I do believe everyone should take a daily supplement, but never assume that a supplement will act as a substitute for poor eating. The supplement I chose is called Limu Plus, it's a liquid and promotes both the health challenges mentioned above.
4 :
Supplements DO NOT reduce the risk of heart disease or lung cancer. Do NOT smoke, if you do, STOP this is a risk factor for both. Eat lots of fruits and veggies daily, a rainbow of colors is best. stay away from red meats, too much dairy, white sugars cause cancer. Exercise daily, walk, try to get 10,000 steps in daily. Exercising lowers blood pressure. Avoid salts added to foods as well as frozen and canned foods they are loaded with salt. Avoid alcohol also a cancer cause. Get yearly EKG's and yearly blood work and urine tests. Your blood and urine are the mirror to your health. Keep your stress level at a minimum, stress causes heart failure and cancer.
5 :
The biggest risk factor in lung cancer is smoking! There are no vitamins to counteract this. Stopping smoking is the best preventative measure. It is also a major factor in heart disease. Other than stopping smoking, other ways to reduce heart disease risks are to maintain a healthy weight, eat a balanced diet and get regular exercise

Has the link between high cholesterol and heart disease ever been proven

Has the link between high cholesterol and heart disease ever been proven?

HI well yes and no
2 :
Absolutely. The study that did so is one of the most famous in modern medicine. It's used as an example for designing large scale studies in the population and the results have been repeated various times. The basic of it is that high cholesterol leads to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries. This narrows the arteries - if it's i the tiny ones that feed the heart this can be dangerous. In addition, these plaques can rupture and throw blood clots causing a stroke if they get into the brain, but more often they get caught in the tiny arteries that feed the heart - this is a heart attack. The combination of these two factors are essentially the only cause of heart disease wide spread in the population.
3 :
Yes. The link is through arterial disease. The higher your cholesterol level, the more fat is deposited in your arteries, leading to a narrowing of the arteries, which leads to constantly elevated blood pressure, which overworks the heart, which leads to heart disease. The other pathway is this: high cholesterol leads to unstable blockages, some of which break off which then cause heart attacks.
4 :
surely. Many studies proved that relation
5 :
NEVER, and they keep trying and they keep failing. Of course since it is the drug companies that are trying to prove that everyone should take their drugs, when they fail you never hear about it. The latest is the ENHANCE study. Adding one cholesterol drug to another caused the cholesterol numbers to fall another 17% but the measurement of the INCREASE in growth of plaque was double. That tells you that lowering the cholesterol has no effect (or even negative effect) on plaque formation. Now this study was concluded 2 years ago but they did not release it until recently. Guess what they did for 2 years? They ran millions of ads about the two kinds of cholesterol. They captured 18% of the market for a drug that cost $4 a day and they knew it did not work any better than the $0.25 per day drug. Never artificially lower your cholesterol. If your body makes it, you need it.Now lowering it naturally is another story. As I said, if you NEED it than your body makes more, but why do you need it?

There are many heart diseases and so many causes.
2 :
the previous answer is correct. Quite often when you hear someone allude to "heart disease," they are talking about coronary artery disease (CAD). This is hardening & narrowing (due to plaquie build up) of the coronary arteries. This is the common cause of cardiac arrest, as the coronary arteries that branchout of the aorta into 4 arteries get clogged & can no longer feed the heart w/ the O2 it needs to function.

Surgery is a potential cure, but may not be an option in all cases. You really need to discuss this with your doctor. I wish you luck
