Causes of Coronary Heart Disease -
Revealing a Killer

This Arginine supplement improves atherosclerosis

The causes of coronary heart disease are both simple and complex. One source stated the causes of heart disease as atherosclerosis and age. But reading that sentence may well leave you as clueless as you were before you started, and a little discouraged if you're over the age of fifty.

However a little more research quickly unearths somewhat clearer "causes", or perhaps a better name would be "risk factors", for heart disease.

In actual fact, though, there is a good deal of controversy about the bottom line causes of coronary heart disease.

Everyone does agree that atherosclerosis causes it, but then, of course, the question becomes...

"What causes atherosclerosis?" Please read the page I've already written about atherosclerosis for a much more in depth discussion of that topic.

But before further discussion of causes, perhaps you'd like to know more about coronary heart disease facts. If so, just click the preceding link to explore those facts more fully.

However, to continue, there are certain things that are commonly accepted as clear risks for atherosclerosis. These same things are also considered to be...

The Causes of Coronary Heart Disease

They are:
  • somking or regular use of tobacco in any form
  • high fat levels in the blood - this includes cholesterol and triglycerides
  • high blood pressure
  • high blood sugar
  • overweight - For men the most dangerous weight is shown by a waist circumference of over 42", for women it is anything above 35".
  • lack of regular exercise
  • stress
  • a "type A personality" - recognized by impatient, aggressive, and competitive character traits.
  • advancing age - over 50 for men, and 55 for women
  • heredity

    How Many will Cause Heart Disease?

    The short answer is...Nobody knows!

    There are two things all the experts agree on though...

  • The more causes are present in your current situation, the higher the probability that you will develop heart disease.
  • If you change the things you can, the things you can't change, advancing age and heredity, are much less likely to kill you.

    However, to avoid taking the problem of heart disease lightly, please read this page I've written on the latest statistics about heart disease.

    If you even scan that page you'll realize that heart disease is a serious problem. If you'd like a clearer understanding of the problem, you might explore different types of heart disease, a page I've recently written on the common types.

    So, what can you do?

    Develop a Plan

    Please, don't be like the Ostrich!

    If you realize that you have, or a loved one has, many of the causes of coronary heart disease, Don't give up hope! Even if you've developed many of the signs of heart disease, or you've been diagnosed with inflammatory heart disease or end stage heart disease, you're not dead yet, or you wouldn't be reading this. But, don't ignore the danger either! Heart disease is deadly.

    Educate yourself about cardiovascular fitness and then take action.

    The first and most important line of defense is to provide your body with the nutrients it needs to maintain cardiovascular health. For more information read the page on atherosclerosis. Also read the page on Ways to Prevent Heart Disease where I share steps you can take to avoid having to deal with this disease, or how to reverse it if you've already had problems.

    Conclusion

    I do believe that heart disease can be avoided with good nutrition and wise supplementation. My husband has many of the causes of coronary heart disease mentioned above, but as of this writing he has had no problems with heart disease.

    Believe me I'm thankful! And I'm hoping and praying we can keep it that way!

    I even have a personal interest in the subject since one of the chemotherapy drugs used to treat my cancer a few years back had a long term side effect of heart failure. That is one side effect I'd rather not deal with!

    Nonetheless, I don't feel there is nothing I can do to avoid it. I believe the supplements I've used, and am using may well be keeping me from developing that side effect. I know they have improved my health from the point where I'd have been delighted to move on to heaven, to where I'm completely willing to wait for the Lord's timing.

    Although some of the causes of coronary heart disease can't be changed, many can be. I'd encourage you to focus your energy on changing what you can, while realizing we all have an inevitable appointment with death.

    If you aren't ready for that appointment, I'd highly recommend you get ready, by finding out how you can have spiritual health and be prepared for that most important appointment.
