2 :
whoever told you that wants you to die
3 :
Poop on that. Prove it.
4 :
yeah for people with really bad diets and life styles who have weak, unhealthy bodies. Make a morbidly obese person run 5 miles he may have a heart attack. sounds like lazy person propaganda to me
5 :
Is this a question? There is a real addiction to exercise that can be very unhealthy yes. Were you looking for clarification? As far as "inflammation" of the arteries go, there is a regular inflammation that happens as soon as the body starts demanding more energy that can be supplied in the body's homeostasis. It's called vasodilation. Arteries can become inflamed as a result of prolonged heart rates over time, but that's something that occurs over a long period and not from having one or two extra long workout days.

dark chocolate, and red wine

Keep your lipids (cholesterol, triglycerides) low by eating meats with less fat content, exercise will help in doing this as well as the extra benefit of strengthening the heart. Don't smoke, keep your weight down. These are some starting points to get you started
3 :
Eat healthy is the most important thing. Low cholesterol and eating things oats and other grains can help. This balanced with adequate cardio exercise and you can lower your chances dramatically of getting heart disease.
4 :
eat low fat foods, skimmed milk and white meat such as chicken and fish. Avoid red meat. walk and excercise a lot. it will reduce the fat.
5 :
How do you majorly reduce your likeliness of getting coronary artery disease ? by Knowing your fasting blood glucose levels Lowering eliminating severe stress Maintain normal weight and do excercise but do NOT over do sprints twice a week or 3 NO MORE lift weights Make sure you have a nutrient rich diet AVOID low fat nonsense avoid trans fatty acids which are man made make sure your omega3 ratio is greater than omega 6 blood pressure normal do NOT drink- red wine is a MYTH the :Lipid Hypothesis is FALSE THAT is why French have low rates NOT red wine They do NOT have a monopoly on red wine consumnption- Italy and Spain drink just as much red wine and do NOT have nearly the low rates the French have. do NOT smoke.
6 :
Regular fasting...it's the only remedy proven to extend life. Fast at least one day per week. If you have plaque built up in your arteries, you may want to try a longer fast. When we fast the body can dissolve fat deposits in the arteries. No matter if they tell you it's bad for you, research it! Limited fasting is very healthy, and almost everyone can do it.
7 :
You can't fight it, once you have it. You can only lower your chances of developing it. To the guy above I am very sorry you have coronary heart disease Unfortunately it was the SMOKING that did it NOT cholesterol. I am not judging you or implyimng you deserve it I am just saying what the researach has found Do NOT be fooled by scientifically UNofunded anti cholesterol propaganda. Smoking absolutely does this. I in fact know a several; smokers who all developed coronary heart disease due to the vascular damage that starts off the inflamation which leads to the hard fibrous scar tissue which leads toi coronary heart disease

How does smoking increase the risk of coronary heart disease (by blocking arteries)

How does smoking increase the risk of coronary heart disease (by blocking arteries)?

1 :
Smoking tobacco in any form, even cigars, will have the effect of increasing LDL cholesterol and decreasing HDL cholesterol. It also slightly increases triglycerides. This is a triple whammy because it negatively affects all your cholesterol levels. Cholesterol levels have a direct correlation with coronary artery disease also known as atherosclerosis. That's how increases the risk of Heart diseases.
2 :
OF COURSE IT CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF MANY HARMFUL THINGS I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE EVEN START SMOKING IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! STOP IT NOW!!!
3 :
Smoking is among TOP risk factors for ATHEROSCLEROSIS (it's just medical term for disease of blocking arteries). If this happens in coronary artery its heart that is affected If this happens in brain, it may cause stroke In lower limbs, it will cause gangrene Everywhere same process goes. How does smoking contributes that is here Smoking increases levels of nicotine and certain other organic products that cause destructive changes to the inner lining (coating) of arteries. This lining/coating is protective in regards that it prevents sticking of White blood cells(monocytes), platlets and cholesterol on the walls of arteries. Products of smoking damage this lining (medical term-- endothelial dysfunction) resulting in increased stickiness of cholesterol particles on walls of arteries, which is a very important step in initiation of blockage. these cholesterol later are taken up by cells in the arteries which further attract and make more cells to keep on sticking to wall and ultimately we get a big atheroma (occlusive plaque) in coronary artery. heart doesnot get its share of blood (and therefore oxygen) from coronary artery So it causes pain on exertion. This is known as ANGINA. if this plaque cracks it will immediately cause sticking of numerous platelets and block artery completely resulting in so called heart attack(myocardial infarction) which is damage to heart due to non availability of blood(and therefore oxygen) from coronary arteries By the way, these are diseases smokers are at increased risk of 1.Cardiovascular-- Hyprtension, Heart attack, failure 2.Nervous system--- Stroke, dementia 3.Lungs-- COPD bronchitis, emphysema, lung cancer 4.Limbs-- Gangrene, intermittent claudication(pain on exertion) 5.Mouth-- oral cancer 6.Digestve system-- Oesophageal and stomach cancer, Peptic Ulcer disease kindly rate this answer
