C.a.d. Coronary Artery Disease

All this takeout and fast food is killing us.

A vast majority of the world is health conscious and a large percentage is walking around unconscious.  Just because something looks good doesn’t mean that it’s good for us. This is just an example of what we digest on a daily basis.  With so many people always in a rush, takeout and fast food places has become our daily way of eating.  Food such as this delicious hamburger is loaded with saturated fat.  Too much saturated fat can lead to clogged arteries.  Your overall fat intake should be less than 30 to 20 percent, and 7 percent if you are already suffering from CAD (Coronary Artery Disease).  Your body uses saturated fat to make cholesterol, but anyonewho already has clogged arteries should only ingest 200 milligrams of cholesterol per day.

What are some of the warning signes that your arteries may be blocked:

Hands, arms and legs feel cold

Achy legs on short walks

Exertion or getting breathless

Problems remembering things

Lack of energy

When one or more arteries are blocked you may experience pain and discomfort in the chest.  Symptoms can last  between 3 to 5 minutes, it symptoms persist the heart muscles will be starved of oxygen, this could lead to a heart attack.

The risk factors that can contribute to CAD (Coronary Artery Disease) are:

High Blood Pressure

Smoking

High Cholesterol Levels

Lack of Proper Exercise

Body Weight

Diabetes

Stress

Poor Diet

God says that our body is a temple, so let’s treat it that way.
