Prevention of heart failure

Description:

Undoubtedly, the best heart failure medicine is its prevention. As we saw, the syndrome of heart failure in most cases arises as a complication of this or that з an abolevaniye of cardiovascular system. Therefore regular routine inspections at the cardiologist, timely and correct treatment of an arterial hypertension, prevention of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases gives considerable chances to avoid a syndrome of heart failure. Besides, and it concerns each person too, it is necessary to avoid excessive loads of heart. Heart of the person has huge potentials: while at rest it on average pumps over about 5 liters of blood a minute, tolerance level of loading for it — 30 liters! Six times more! It would seem that it is simply impossible "to overload" it. However we do it constantly, without noticing that.

For example, very few people think that loads of heart increase with increase in body weight. Therefore people corpulent are often pursued not only by diseases of endocrine, but also cardiovascular system. Remember it at best already at obviously expressed asthma. And maintenance of weight is normal, moderate restrictions in food and a mobile way of life — a tribute not so much to fashion, how many health. Of course, it is not necessary to go into other extremes and to bring itself to exhaustion, it is not less harmful to heart. Food has to be full and rational, contain as much as possible natural products, "live vitamins" in vegetables and fruit.

Strongly excess of salt in an organism therefore it is worth getting used to salt insufficiently food slightly loads cardiovascular system. There are, however, people who eat in general without salt, assuring that to them natural taste of products suffices. Completely we do not suggest to assimilate to them, for want of habit it, perhaps, hard, but salts we strongly recommend to limit quantity. Really, it is better and simpler to limit voluntarily itself in something, being healthy, than to follow the most strict diet during a serious illness.

Unfairly high loads of heart also such darlings all give drinks as coffee and tea. Certainly, and here it is not necessary to go too far. From one cup of coffee in the morning and three cups of correctly brewing tea during the day no harm to health will exist, it is even useful that to you and will be confirmed by any food specialist. But before to pour to itself the fifth cup of coffee in operating time at the computer, it is worth thinking very well. …

In risk group, certainly, and fans of alcoholic beverages. Can object: the French scientists supposedly proved long ago beneficial influence of red wine on cardiovascular system. Everything is correct, but small specifications are necessary. It is about natural grape dry wine, and in small amounts (it is no more than a glass in day), and at all not about feasts lovely to our heart where alcohol flows like water. About harm of smoking peregovoreno already so many that there is no wish to be returned to it. There are no exceptions and any justifications: smoking is pernicious for heart.

Scourge of the modern person — a slow-moving way of life. Will seem strange — what overloads of heart can be because of it? There is nothing strange in it. Our cardiovascular system is programmed by the nature for work in the conditions of high exercise stresses. And, of course, "single" cardiac performance leads to its failures too. So physical activity (it is better in the fresh air) — not luxury, but means of strengthening of a cardiac muscle, prevention of heart attacks, and together with them and prevention of heart failure.

Of course, presently it is necessary to consider such factor, pernicious for heart, as a constant stress. The matter is that in the conditions of tension or danger heart begins to work more intensively and when the person calms down, heartbeat returns to normal too. The constant stress is no other than permanent job of heart "in the fire mode", literally, on wear. Therefore such human qualities as cheerfulness, love to life, themselves and people, ability to see the positive moments in any situation become not just a sign of the happy person, but also prevention of heart failure, and a sign of the person with healthy heart now.

From all aforesaid the simple conclusion is drawn: the best prevention of heart failure, as well as the majority of diseases of cardiovascular system, what is known long ago to all under the name "healthy lifestyle" serves. Healthy nutrition, fresh air, lack of addictions, physical activity, resistance to stresses, self-confidence and the light relation to the world — here that does heart healthy and strong.
