Cardiovascular
Diseases

|
Today millions of people in the
world suffer from the disease of heart and the blood vessels, which are
called as cardiovascular diseases.
The heart is the strongest muscle in the body. The contraction and
relaxation of the heart cause the circulation of blood to all parts of the
body. The circulatory system plays a vital role in the nourishment of
tissues. Elements necessary for nourishment of tissues are carried to them
by blood. Any irritation to the lining of arterial walls causes heart
diseases. This injury may also be caused due to high levels of fat in the
blood.
Main
contributors for cardiovascular diseases
Faulty diet,
Negative thinking
---Our
thoughts, feelings and emotions affect our body and mind.Negative
Emotions spark
chemical processes throughout the entire body.
Coronary Heart Disease,
Smoking,
High blood pressure etc…
Coronary Heart Disease (CAD)
Function of heart is to supply the blood to the whole body by pumping.
Whereas coronary arteries come out of the aorta and supply
the blood and feed the heart muscles themselves. The main coronary
arteries lie down on the surface of the heart and the small arteries enter
the cardiac muscle mass. It is the most common cause of the cardiovascular
disability and death. Coronary heart disease is a state in which the heart
muscle not gets ample amount of blood because of disruption in its blood
supply.
Depending on the extent of disruption in its blood supply, symptoms appear
from a mild chest pain to a full-scale heart attack.
 |
Atherosclerosis (hardening of the
arteries)
The inner walls of the arteries get thickened due to gradual deposits of
fatty material. These gradual deposits take the form of layers in the
inner walls of the arteries and as a result, there is hindrance to the
flow of blood. Consequently, blood clotting occurs in the roughened area
and the blood circulation gets blocked.
|
Coronary Thrombosis
There is sudden blocking of one of the arteries or its branches and then
the supply of blood to the heart is affected partially or completely. The
sudden blocking takes place due to the deposit of clot in an already narrow artery. Due to lack of
blood supply, heart attack takes place with pain in the chest and arms and
there maybe perspiration.
Degenerative heart disease
It occurs due to the gradual decay of the blood vessels. It is thought
that excessive smoking of tobacco in any form causes degeneration of blood
vessels.
Yoga
can play important role in preventing and curing cardiovascular heart
diseases.
If one diagnosed heart disease, it is
necessary to take proper care of ones heart for the rest of life. With
proper life-style and diet one can manage and avoid heart disease. The
physical activity in yoga enhances cardiac efficiency.

The circulatory system plays a vital role in the nourishment of tissues.
Elements necessary for nourishment of tissues are carried to them by
blood. Practice of pranayama rejuvenate the tissues with a fresh supply of
oxygen
Asanas
improve cardiovascular efficiency. The yogic exercises give a good massage
to the perpetually working heart. Asanas involve very little muscular
activity. In such a condition, the heart has a tendency to slow down its
speed and the heart beats in a controlled manner. When the muscular
activity is less, there is minimum production of carbon dioxide. This
reduces the levels of stress to the heart.
Yoga enhances heart health,
lowers blood pressure, reduces chronic stress, boosts immune system and
enhances cognitive ability. Yoga has an important role in the prevention
of cardiovascular diseases as well as recurrence of heart attacks,
hypertension and coronary heart diseases. Yoga affects the hypothalamus
directly the area of the brain, controlling the endocrine activity and it
helps to prevent heart attacks.

Meat, excessive protein, milk and dairy products, oil, excessive spices,
excessive salt,
overeating.

whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables.
