When appears sharp pain in the area of the heart, the thought of death involuntarily visits a person. Usually, we are talking about older people with a bunch of chronic diseases, but in recent decades, death from sudden cardiac death in young people is not nonsense. To prevent irreversible consequences, it is necessary to carry out disease prevention.
Modern pharmacology does not provide safe drugs, without side effects. A wide variety of means to strengthen the heart - vascular system folk remedies, can provide knowledge of traditional medicine, the recipes of which were successfully used by our ancestors.
Biochemical aspects of the heart and what causes vascular and heart disease.
Each cell of the human body exists as a single organism. Groups of cells with a similar structure and list of functions are called tissue. In the human body and all mammals, most organs are built from muscle tissue.
Muscles are capable of contracting. Contraction is carried out by the sliding of actin filaments along the myosin filaments, through a chemical ion pump and the movement of Ca2+, Ka+ and Na+ molecules from the cell into the intercellular substance along the channel as a result of the difference in concentrations.
There are three types of muscles. Smooth muscle, from which blood vessels are built, transversely striated muscles, and, finally, a type of muscle tissue that occupies an intermediate position between skeletal and smooth muscles - the myocardium. Human consciousness does not control the functioning of the heart.
The heart works continuously and pumps, on average, 7,300 liters of blood per day, making more than 100,000 contractions. The autonomous independent nervous system generates a nerve impulse, and special cells specific only to the heart muscle conduct this impulse. Therefore, the heart muscle needs a lot of energy and oxygen and a constant concentration of microelements for smooth operation.
Disease is a process that results in changes normal structure individual cells, the entire tissue as a whole, and the performance of functions is disrupted. This happens by various reasons. On the one hand, the thin film covering the cell is affected, or the cell does not receive enough chemical compounds, microelements and oxygen for normal operation.
What diseases most often affect blood vessels and the heart:
Atherosclerosis– metabolic disorders, improper absorption of cholesterol and its deposition on inner surface vessels.
There are three stages of development of atherosclerosis:
*spots and stripes;
*atheromatosis (formation of plaques with a mushy substance and a fibrous cap) – there is a high probability of plaque rupture and the formation of thrombotic masses;
*atherocalcinosis – deposition of calcium salts on the inner surface of the vessel and on atheromatous plaques.
Hypertension– long-term, constant increase in pressure in blood vessels, arterial type. The increase in pressure is due to various factors:
*vasospasm;
*impaired elasticity of the vascular wall due to thickening and gealinosis.
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury. The norm is considered to be pressure in the arteries during systole (contraction of the heart muscle and maximum ejection into the aorta), from 139 mmHg and pressure during relaxation of the heart muscle or diastole up to 90 mmHg.
These two pathological conditions, as a rule, accompany each other and aggravate the course of the disease.
Coronary heart disease– a pathology, the mechanism of which is based on insufficient supply of oxygen to the myocardium relative to its needs. High risk of sudden cardiac death.
Clinical forms:
Chronic oxygen starvation (in combination with hypertension, the lumens of blood vessels decrease, atherosclerotic masses develop on the inner surface) - with increased physical activity, an attack of insufficient oxygen supply to cells occurs.
Acute oxygen starvation is the formation of an area of necrosis of the heart muscle, as a result of complete blockage of the lumen of the vessel by a detached atherosclerotic plaque and thrombus or a sharp sustained spasm of the vessel.
Arrhythmia – This is a group of lesions of the cardiac conduction system.
Characterized by irregular, irregular electrical impulses.
change in automaticity towards a slower rhythm (bradycardia);
Depending on clinical manifestations arrhythmias are:
change in automaticity towards increased rhythm (tachycardia);
change in the excitation of the electrical impulse (extrasystole);
changes in the conduction system of the heart;
decreased conductivity;
increased conductivity.
Myocarditis– inflammatory disease of the heart muscle:
infectious-toxic;
allergic;
other types.
Pericarditis– inflammation of the connecting cardiac sac:
spicy;
chronic.
Hypotension– a disease predominantly of young people, characterized by a periodic decrease in the level blood pressure below 100/60mmHg:
acute form (fainting);
chronic form (long-term, usually secondary).
Products that strengthen the heart and blood vessels:
What substances do the heart and blood vessels need to function?
All nutrients, many vitamins and microelements, so necessary for the normal functioning of our body, blood vessels and heart, are obtained from food. Without this important element the human body cannot live like K 2 +. Its deficiency inexorably leads to acute heart failure and death. In older people, potassium is poorly absorbed by the body, so it is necessary to increase its amount with food.
Nature generously rewarded plants with all useful elements and biologically active substances for the harmonious existence of man. Our task is to know and understand which plants, fruits and berries can become real medicine for the heart and blood vessels.

Therapeutic diet for heart disease.
If you have been diagnosed with heart disease, have had a heart attack or suffer from organ failure, traditional treatment It will help, but you need to change your lifestyle, and first of all your diet. Miscellaneous Products contain a different set of useful elements, so nutrition should be balanced and harmonious. Healthy dishes for cores include vegetables and fish.
Avocado and salmon salad.
Red fish contains a storehouse of vitamins and minerals: Omega-3 unsaturated fats reduce the risk of blood clots, they are not deposited on the waist, but improve capillary blood flow. 100 grams of salmon contains 1/2 the daily portion of protein needed by an adult. Vitamins A and D help muscles absorb proteins, and fish oil lowers cholesterol levels. Magnesium-rich fish promotes myocardial contractility.
Avocado fights anemia and reduces the risk of myocardial infarction. It is rich in vitamins A and E, which are responsible for the elasticity of blood vessels.
The salad is prepared simply: cut 100 grams of fish into strips, mash the avocado with a fork, mix with sour cream or sugar-free yogurt, add a few tablespoons of chopped pitted olives, a couple of tablespoons of boiled pasta. You can add chopped peppers and tomatoes.
Milk and banana smoothie.
Bananas are also rich in B vitamins, which are essential for heart disease. But not all older people love this fruit. It tastes much more pleasant if you mix it in a blender with half a glass of milk. It is rich in calcium, which strengthens blood vessels, and in interaction with magnesium has a beneficial effect on the myocardium. Manganese and copper are involved in hematopoiesis and normalize cholesterol levels. The pectin contained in bananas removes toxins and promotes good digestion.
Broccoli soup.
This vegetable combats impaired blood supply to the heart. It is rich in potassium and protein, so necessary for the heart muscle. Natural antioxidants vitamins A, E and C protect against heart attack and stroke.

The most important rule for maintaining good heart performance is to ensure a balanced and healthy diet. It's not difficult at all, but in the heart proper nutrition will have a positive impact.
Bad habits, eating the wrong foods and increased fatigue. You definitely need to eat a varied diet and make sure that the food is fresh, not harmful and tasty. For good heart function, it is very important that the body consumes proteins, carbohydrates and fats in the correct quantities. It is best if a person eats three times a day according to a clearly defined regimen.
Another recommendation is to rest during the working day. This holiday can be different for each person. Some people will regain their strength by simply sitting in silence without any thoughts, while others prefer to lie down for a few minutes.
Vacations also need to be used wisely so as not to overload the heart. Healthy sleep plays a very important role. If you use sleep time incorrectly, your heart begins to work harder. This can lead to overvoltage and severe fatigue.
Physical activity also has an excellent positive effect on the functioning of the cardiac system. Daily simple exercises will help strengthen the myocardium, respiratory and nervous systems.
Heart health also depends on the frequency of infectious diseases. Negative consequences diseases such as influenza, rheumatism and tonsillitis can interfere with the functioning of the organ. If you have an infectious disease, you should immediately consult a doctor. Self-medication can negatively affect the functioning of the body.
Foods that strengthen your heart
Many morning breakfasts are based on a product such as oats. Oats, or rather the beta-glucan it contains, helps improve heart function. In addition, oats prevent diabetes.
Medical professionals advise people with poor heart function to drink red wine to enhance the hematopoietic function of red bone marrow. Resveratrol, an antioxidant that this drink contains, strengthens the heart muscles. In addition, red wine, like oats, reduces cholesterol levels in human blood. An interesting fact is that red wine can become prophylactic heart failure. The drink has a good effect on lowering blood pressure.
Useful product Spinach is also helpful in improving heart performance. This plant contains large number vitamin B9. This vitamin has a positive effect on the heart and cardiovascular system as a whole.
Almost all types of nuts are a rich source of mono- and poly-unsaturated fats. Nuts help regulate blood cholesterol levels.
Heart- this is the most important organ that, after rhythmic and regular contractions, ensures blood pumping. The average heartbeat will be approximately 72 times in just 1 minute. But there are quite a lot of different heart diseases that can be treated with folk remedies.
