Heart disease is one of the most touched health-related topics at the present time. It is just right! If we take a look at the kind of lifestyle we have today, it is not impossible that we develop certain illnesses like the deadly disease. Although it is apparent that a lot of people are becoming more and more helth conscious, but still there are those who aren't.
There are several types of such disease, but the major ones are the atherosclerosis, coronary, rheumatic, congenital, myocarditis, angina, and arrythmia heart disease. Although heart disease can be deadly, it is also preventable. The most basic and simple ways to prevention is to exercise regularly, eat heart-healthy diet, maintain healthy weight, avoid smoking, and have regular health screenings. It is never too late for anybody to change lifestyles and practice healthy habits for the betterment ones welfare.
A heart disease is caused by many factors and smoking is one of them. Smoking is very popular when it comes to causing damages to our health. Don't you agree? Smoking and using any tobacco products are never safe. No amount of tobacco is ever considered safe as well. Cigarette smoking and use of tobacco products are the most preventable causes of deaths around the globe.
The type that is caused by smoking is coronary heart disease. Many studies detail the evidence that this that is caused by smoking will eventually lead to a heart attack. Cigarette and tobacco products users have high risk of developing heart disease caused by smoking that of non smokers. smokers who have a heart attack are more likely to die within an hour of the heart attack. Doesn't sounds so scary?
Cigarette and tobacco smoking or any the use of any tobacco products is very rampant. Unfortunately, it increases the risk of coronary disease. All the tobacco products contain thousands of chemicals and nicotine which is very addictive. Nicotine is not only responsible for your bad breath, staining your teeth, but also increases the risk of recurrent coronary heart disease after bypass operation.
Smoking increases blood pressure, decreases exercise tolerance, and increases the tendency for blood clot. When the blood clots build up and block the arteries, heart attack will occur. Therefore, it is evidence enough that such illness caused by smoking is coronary heart disease.
Studies also have shown that the risk of developing the disease caused by smoking, after five years of giving up this bad habit, is the same as for someone who never smoked! I think this is some good news to smokers who struggle to quit and to those who are thinking of quitting. You have all the right reasons to stop. It's never too late! Practice a healthy lifestyle and quit smoking in order for you to live longer and disease free.
