How My Husband Reversed His Heart Disease and How You Can Too!
If my husband had his heart attack 13 months ago we were at first just happy he survived.
Our doctor told us it was not really possible to his heart - that is, his heart would never be "new."
The steps, however, he, him from further damage to his heart. This is not exactly a "cure" he was able to function very well and it frees us from worry about his condition deteriorated.
Our doctor to complete these as a "reversal of his heart disease."
Where do you start when you want to put your heart before you have a heart attack ?
Well, the obvious is to stop smoking, stop drinking or abusing substances. In my case it was no longer husbands cigars! Not even on the golf course! This was particularly true for him, because our doctor said he had a problem of obesity, heart (he has for 75 pounds lost!) The next step was a change of diet.
his old diet of fast-food breakfast and lunch and was loaded with food with high trans-fats, empty carbs, foods with refined flour and sugar, salt and processed foods.
changes are made, if he wanted to his heart disease.
He avoids all the above bad eating habits. We are both very aware of trans fats. You can find this devil in all, in fast food and processed foods, in fried foods and desserts like cakes and packaged cookies and other packaged snacks. Trans fats are loaded with empty calories, that it is nothing to nourish the body. In case my husband causing him to weight gain and sluggish. He was always complaining that tired. Overweight and lazy - both conditions leading to obesity and obese heart problem.
These habits had changed.
It is important to remember that our body actually some fats to work as they should. A good example of these healthy fats are the fats in nuts and olive oil. These fats actually help to reverse heart disease.
in our house where we are now the plan, the Mediterranean diet is rich in these oils and also in the omega-3-fatty acids, often referred to as vital in reversing heart disease.
You can find omega-3-fatty acids in a variety of delicious dishes and food. For example, fatty fish like salmon has a high content of Omega-3-fatty acids. Oils such as fish oil and flaxseed oil are a good source and can also serve as a complement. We both now have diets rich in these healthy fats.
My husband started exercising regularly! We know that this definitely helped him reverse his heart disease, especially since he classified obese with a heart problem. He has regular aerobic exercises to increase his heart rate (Examples are walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing and other activities). He does not go crazy with exercise, but we were told that they should him breathing hard and sweating.
Of course, before he began his new exercise routine it ok'd by our doctor. In his case, the doctor actually prescribed. What do we do for exercise? We play volleyball once a week in the community center. And we regularly hikes. And my husband actually Peddler our son of the old bike in the neighborhood!
He began with moderate weights. This has really built up his muscles, which in turn increased metabolism. Therefore, the 75 pound weight loss!
We have found that weight reduction through diet and exercise was the # 1 important step to reverse his heart disease symptoms. I am sure you will find this is true, too, especially if you have a heart problem of obesity.
My husband has a very stressful job. He was told that relieving the stress in his life was imperative if he wanted to reverse his heart disease. This is not always easy. His new proper diet, exercise routine, and getting adequate sleep sure helped.
My husband found a Great Stress Reduction Program that really works for him.
You might want to try it, or perhaps a meditation technique which relieves the body of stress. It is well worth it to find a source of calm. He spends 30 minutes each day when he gets home "de-stressing."
Many of these helpful resources, such as the Mediterranean Diet and the stress reduction program were found at a great website I'd like to share with you. I would like to thank those people over there and hope they help you as much as they did us. The site is called common heart problems, and it's located at: http://commonheartproblems.com
