Saturated fats that come from animals. Red meat, full fat dairy.

Saturated fats,(found in fatty foods,and processed foods),Trans fats,(these are normally mono saturated fats that have been transformed into saturated fats during a cooking process).Triglycerides are the chemical form that fats exist in in food and in the body.
5 :
1) too much cholesterol (junk food, fried food like french fries, and meat) 2) too much LDL level and low HDL level 3) Smoking 4) Obesity 5) Lack of excersice 6) Diabetes 7) Hypertension 8)thrombosis in the coronary heart 9)family history 10) atherosclerosis

Definitely NOT saturated fats ! Wow, it's amazing how people have been indoctrinated by the profit mongers and medical people that have bought into the hype created by the pharmaceutical companies that are raping America with promoting ignorance. NO FAT made in nature contains only one fatty acid. All three fatty acids are found together in foods and that includes, Saturated fats, Monounsaturated fats, and Polyunsaturated fats. These are all joined together with one gylcerol molecule. It is the percentage of fatty acids in a food that is important. For anyone to say Saturated Fats cause heart disease, is NOT correct. Saturated fats are what your heart uses as fuel. Saturated fats are very stable fats, unlike the polyunsaturated fats that are very unstable and become rancid (oxidize) very rapidly. In fact, vegetable oils, like soybean oil is very unstable and forms trans fats very rapidly when heated. Coconut oil is a highly saturated fat. It has a high smoke point and does not break down in heat nearly as fast as things like soybean oil, canola, cottonseed, and corn oils. Coconut oil is about 50% Lauric Acid that is anti-bacterial infection fighter and supports good thyroid functions; it also contains 8% Caprylic Acid and 7% Capric Acid, both that are anti-fungal agents. We have Ancel keys, the ego maniac, to blame for the Saturated Fat myth as a result of his "Lipid Hypothesis." Simply bad science. Saturated fats are used in the body for structure and the polyunsaturated fats are used in places where the body needs fast action, like in the brain and eyes. Getting the polyunsaturated fats from bottled oils is very bad. The very best way to get these good oils is from soaking seeds and nuts overnight and then fermenting them for a few hours. Making smoothies out of them is an excellent way to maximize the nutrients and the good fatty acids the body can truly use. What type of fats cause heart disease: CANOLA, SOYBEAN OIL, COTTONSEED OIL, CORN OILS. Trans fats are created by heating oils. Margarines, ALL OF THEM, contain very bad oils. Avoid all dairy that is PASTEURIZED and / or HOMOGENIZED, especially from cows that have been fed GRAINS. These are sick cows and their milk is sick. Homogenization crushes the butter fat cells and makes them into things your body cannot recognize and the body rejects them as toxins. Good saturated fats, like coconut oil and butter (from cows that have been fed grass and free range) are very good for you. You should be eating fats as follows: 60% monounsaturated fats (like those in Olive Oil), 30% saturated (like those in coconut & butter), 10% polyunsaturated fats from seeds and nuts (cultured is best and soaked over night to remove the anti-nutrients found in them). Cholesterol is a form of alcohol, not a fat. It is immiscible in water and fat is not. Blood is made of water and that is why the body uses cholesterol to transport FATTY ACIDS through the blood vessels. People who eat low fat, non fat foods are creating a BAD variety of saturated fat by making their liver a saturated fat factory. It's really time Americans begin to learn what is good and bad from people who know, not from the marketing geniuses that are promoting bad science and the medical people that have no clue what they are talking about regarding nutrition. LDL cholesterol is what takes the fatty acids to sites in the body. It is only pattern 2 LDL that can contribute to plaque build up in the arteries because it is very tiny particles that the HDL cholesterol cannot pick up and take back to the liver for reconjugation. Pattern 1 LDL is the GOOD GUY, NOT BAD. HDL has no problem picking it up and returning it to the liver. Homocystein protein is what makes blood sticky and the arterial walls sticky and bumpy, not cholesterol ! Eating GRAINS, SUGAR, and CORNSTARCH are what cause the bad pattern 2 LDL to be made. Eliminate those from your diet, and your LDL ratio will be very good. You need about 160 LDL of the Pattern 1 cholesterol to be healthy and a reading of about 50 for the HDL. For a man, between 200 and 240 total cholesterol is what is found in people that live long lives and for women, 240 to about 280 total cholesterol is very healthy and found in people living long lives. Drug companies are trying to sell you statin drugs that damage the body in many ways. For one, it causes you to stop making CoQ-Quninol in your liver that is what the heart needs for good health and the statins turn on the gene that causes muscle atrophy. Is it no wonder about 60% of the people taking statins complain about muscle aches? The heart is a muscle, right? I wonder what the statins are doing for the heart muscle? good luck to you EDIT: Thank you "Jane" for your kind comment.

All WRONG answers above, except onlymatch's answer which is very true. Soybean and corn oil have been shown in tightly controlled randomized clinical dietary intervention studies. The " heart healthy" polyunsaturated vegetable oils are the bad ones, so are hydrogenated fats (man made trans fats, not the natural ones) Saturated fat is GOOD for us and MOST stable.
8 :
Serum saturated fatty acid is generally higher in smokers, alcohol drinkers and obese people. Coronary heart disease is usually caused by a condition called atherosclerosis, which occurs when fatty material and a substance called plaque build up on the walls of your arteries.
9 :
Poly unsaturated, trans fats. Saturated fats are the good fats. http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/index.html "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes Pharmacist who's life was almost ruined by Lipitor

How does sugar give you heart disease

How does sugar give you heart disease?

Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Insluin levels are abnormal making the heart work twice as hard..
2 :
sugar can give u diabeties
3 :
ONE GRAM AT A TIME
4 :
Sugar does not give you heart disease. A bad lifestyle does
5 :
It doesn't. Having Diabetes increases one's risk of cardiovascular disease. Is that what you're talking about? If so, I think it's just that Diabetics have a higher incidence of heart disease - statistics! How? Probably the effect of diabetes on heart, blood vessels, cholesterol, etc.
6 :
By making you fat.
7 :
Well, I don't think it's as direct as all that. But we fatties are mostly fat because we developed an addiction to sugar and sweet foods early in life. And fat is hard on the heart. Also, if you get diabetes from over-working your pancreas, you will increase your risk of all sorts of diseases, just because the control of the diabetes is such an uncertain thing. Anything that stresses you is bad for your heart.
8 :
a lot of research indicate that chronically high blood levels of glucose cause dilated cardiomyopathy by direct toxic effect of sugar on the heart muscle. poor controlled diabetes is associated with small blood vessel disease called (microangiopathy) in which the structure of such vessels(some of which have the duty of supplying food and oxygen to the heart muscle) their structure is damaged making them less able to deliver oxygen and nutrients and making them more susceptible to clogging (atherosclerosis) diabetes especially type 2 is now considered as a part of a spectrum of abnormalities in metabolism associated with middle age known as(metabolic syndrome), diabetes makes more sugar available for storing as fat because this high blood glucose level is not being burned by insulin,this fat is associated with blood clogging(atherosclerosis) which ultimately causes heart attacks . diabetes also effects the kidneys in the long run(also mainly through toxic effect of glucose on structural protiens , and through affecting the small vessels of the kidney) kidney failure leads to increased risk of heart disease.
9 :
As far as I know sugar doed not cause heart disease. You have to consider many factors. The theory of the blood vessels sounds intelligent but the heart is affected by blockages of main arties not the tiny vessels assoc with uncontrolled sugar. However everyone should think of thier heart as the most important organ in thier body and try to controll fat deposits trigltcerides and cholesterol. Moderation can be a cure vs overeating fatty burgers and fried pork everyday. Exercise helps even a liitle each day!!!
10 :
Precipitating factors of coronary thrombosis are as follows:- (1) Sedantary occupation and lack of exercise. (2) Overeating. (3) Cigarette smoking. (4) Mental stress with strain. (5) High serum cholesterol.(>150 to 250 mg/100 ml) Triglycerides.(>150 mg/dL) Low Density Lipoprotein.(>100mg/dL) (6) Familial tendency. (7) Hypertension.(>140/90 mm of Hg) (8) Diabetes.(>126 mg/dL)
11 :
high intake of sugary foods causes you to be obese setting you up for heart disease and obesity. If you are diabetic, having high sugar levels in your blood is the equivalent to sludge running through your veins, clogging them off

It could be signs of anxiety which can cause damage over time. It also could be what you are eating that's causing you pain but before determing any of this , go see a doctor.

You should use Tramadol, it is the best about it you can get information from here http://mdcan11.notlong.com/7AAalDz

Itâ€™s easy to recognize the symptoms of a heart attack While we are pretty used to watching men, in the typical Bollywood movies, clutching their chests and falling down from what is apparently a heart attack, it neednâ€™t come so obviously. The classic symptoms of a heart attack include a heavy feeling in the chest that may be painful. But the heaviness or pain may spread to the left arm, neck, or jaw. Symptoms include: * Chest pain * Pressure, heaviness or tightness in the chest * Pain or pressure in the neck or jaw * Pain or pressure in one or both arms (especially the left) * Shortness of breath * Sweating * Nausea * Pain or throbbing between the shoulder blades Many people suffer from heart attacks but assume it is only a heartburn or fatigue. When it comes to your heart, it's important to consult a doctor rather than to self diagnose! If you have chest pain wait and see if it goes away If you have a pain in your chest, you definitely must not sit around and wait to see if it goes away. If you're having significant chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or any other symptoms that suggest a heart attack, call a hospital or any clinicâ€™s emergency number. If you delay treatment when you are having a heart attack you could cause irreparable damage to your heart and it could also prove to be fatal. You cannot die simply out of fear or severe emotions panic attacks, terror or any other severe emotion can cause heart attacks It is possible to die of fright, or for that matter grief, anger, joy, or just about any other intense emotion. Though usually victims are older and likely to be in unstable health conditions, even younger people could be so affected. It is possible for a terrifying event to trigger a fatal heart attack. Multiple scientific studies show that important mind and body connections exist for health in general and cardiovascular health in particular. Your levels of stress and wellbeing are extremely important for your cardiovascular health. Higher stress levels or negative emotions like anger or depression could burden your heart pumping due to release of certain hormones in our blood stream like adrenalin. You should therefore look for ways and means to reduce stress and negative emotions in your lives. If you are young you will have no heart problems people as young as 20 can have heart attacksThough predominantly those who are older are more prone to having a heart attack, it is possible to start developing coronary artery disease as a teenager. People in their 20s and 30s have suffered from heart attacks. A heart-healthy lifestyle needs to begin in the childhood, so that kids don't develop bad habits that they carry to adulthood. Parents should encourage their kids to exercise, limit time spent in front of the television or computer screen, and partake healthy, well-balanced meals. Children, who are obese, have high blood pressure or a family history of heart disease are at a higher risk. Also, although rare, some children (usually due to genetic differences) can have unusually high cholesterol and thus an increased risk for heart disease. Another problem today is the kind of lifestyle that we live. Especially the young working population today lives an unbalanced life with no exercise, a lot of junk food and high stress levels. Not to mention overexposure to technology implements that is proving to harm our lives. For this populatonis it especially necessary to have regular checkups and a conscious effort to maintain a well balanced life. for more information do read:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/answer?qid=20100924132247AAalDzO

1 :
Facts about heart disease, of course. Wikipedia has lots of good information. Get to it...
2 :
Chuck Norris can rip a human's heart out with his bare hands, while its still pumping blood!
3 :
i would definitely include some facts about heart disease. maybe like how many people have it, what causes it, how many people die from it each year/month/week/day/hour, you know, the basics!
4 :
The epidemiology, who it affects, symptoms, long term effects, procedures known to imporve the condition, medications known to improve the condition, things an individual can do to prevent the problem or slow the onset of the problem.
5 :
I would start out with causes.Then statistics.And then prevention.
6 :
Who is more at risk and why. What tests are done to prove heart disease in patients What kinds of diseases affect the heart and what they can cause What can be done to help people with heart disease Maybe at the end throw in some new things that science is working on that isnt quite done yet to show the route we are taking in medicine
7 :
ummmmm....the facts that you glean from studying heart disease i should think.
8 :
Without knowing specifics, (such as what grade level or class this is for, science vs. health class), I'd say include: what is it what causes it risk factors how many people have it what patients can do current advances in medicine
9 :
Depends on which level you are working at. A web site I like that has alot of info is 'heartsite.com' General info that might give you ideas on your project. Good luck. Maybe you could even arrange an interview with a doc or practiontioner in a cardiology dept or office.!
10 :
"The FACT that coronary atherosclerosis gets worse JUST AS FAST or FASTER when cholesterol goes DOWN as when it goes up the OPPOSITE of exposure response should have led scientists to question the whole Lipid Hypothesis - but no one did" - Dr. Uffe Ravnskov
11 :
show first the body system affected, causes, signs and symptoms, diagnosis or detection method, then treatment or cure... you can add the history of the disease, statistics, and the function of the system affected(which is the circulatory system) for extra credits...
12 :
wikipedia is good
13 :
These are the things you should put in your report: INTRODUCTION: (A brief intro about your report) Background Pathophysiology Etiology Epidemiology (Frequency, Mortality/Morbidity, Age, Sex, Race) HISTORY Signs and Symptoms Past medical history Physical findings Causes DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSES (different disease that could mimic your topic) WORKUP STUDIES (Supporting studies that could help diagnose your topic) Laboratory Studies Imaging Studies Other Test Procedure TREATMENT Pretreatment Peri treatment Post treatment MEDICATIONS FOLLOWUP That should do it. If you are going to search the net, try to look for articles on eMedicine and you will know what I'm talking about. Their report is very comprehensive

yes, but must combine with low cholesterol & high fiber diet.

I'm not a doctor but i can say that exercise never hurt no one, but if you're told by the doctor that you shouldn't then u shouldn't. many heart diseases caused by fat that prevent blood from rushing through the veins.. you can lose these fat by burning it with exercise ... everyday would be the best but no one does though
3 :
yes,you are correct
4 :
though it might help some people, nothing is certain. I was a golden glove boxer and still inherited it from my dad and grandpa!!
5 :
Traditionally, we think of excercise as healthy because it brings down cholesterol, makes you loos weight, etc. Cutting edge cardiovascular research is discovering that even more is going on. See, most heart disease occurs when endothelium (the inner layer of coronary arteries) gets dysfunctional. It gets that way with high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, etc. But it has been shown that excercise makes the endothelium much more resistant to these changes. So yes, it helps. Useful tip about excercise. It does not need to be structured. Wwalking the steps at work can be as helpful as buying a home gym. The point is to have at least 30 minutes of excercise a day on most days. The excercise should not make you go out of breath completely, but should provide you with exertion. One way to gauge if you are doing enough is your heart rate. It should get 50% of your normal heart rate for at least those 30 minutes. Another is to pay attention to your breathing. You should not be out of breath enough so you can't talk, but you should not be able to sing. The 30 minute of excercise coud be staggered in three 10-minute intervals. DOing more than thirty minutes helps, upto a point. Studies shown that doing more than an hour a day has shown no additional benefit. Hope that helps!

Is McDonald's food designed to make you obese and cause heart disease

Is McDonald's food designed to make you obese and cause heart disease?
Every time I go into their restaurants I see several people that weigh 380lbs... Gross...
Fast Food - 11 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Anything is fine in moderation but it is not designed to be eaten every day as one meal has the fat and calories you would require for one day. If you ate it all the time you would certainly put on weight and extra weight means more fat around the heart which puts strain on the heart and can cause heart troubles. So eat in moderation - everything is good in small amounts!
2 :
I doubt it is "designed" that way. McDonald's wants you to stay alive and keep eating their product so they can keep making Money.
3 :
Why would they murder their best customers? Unless they're owned by insurance companies, then... HOLY CRAP, I'M NEVER EATING THERE AGAIN
4 :
the food is designed to be both tasty and quick to serve. Fat in food is what makes it taste so good. If you do not like the scenery,go to Arby's and eat roast beef, get a salad with grilled chicken- If you do not like the view, change the channel, duh.
5 :
if you eat it everyday. but really if you eat it, lets say once a week. not really. but if your daily routine is exercising.
6 :
its fast foood restraunt you act like theres not gonna be fat people around there
7 :
its a fat food place
8 :
McDonald's is super unhealthy I used to go there every week and I felt horrible when I was done eating but I was addicted to it so I couldn't stop. Then I got food poisoning so I never went there again. Also did you know bacteria wont even eat those crap meals. I posted a video that explains it. ps: I was around 10 when I couldn't stop eating McDonald's and I was not at all fat so McDonald's just to makes you sick and give you diseases unless you eat it around 3 times a week then you will get fat.
9 :
If you eat it 3 times a day 7 days a week, then yeah it will make you obese. Those people that you see that you classed as "gross", are eating there at least 2 or 3 times a day. Ever watched "Super Size Me"?
10 :
No its designed to be appealing to the everyday American.
11 :
McDonald's food is designed to be what your body wants. Your body is designed to chunk it up when you eat too damn much of what it wants versus what it needs. Sweet Jesus
